XML Image Slide Show - Mask Transition v1

Hello! I need to change the XML content at runtime (I want to change Images…, but the XML file remain in the cache of the PC. Can I force to reload the XML file on page load each time? Thank you!

PS: I work with ASP .Net PS2 : Excuse me for my bad english…

Hi!

I found this link: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15951

I will try to correct the problem in the .fla file.

If I will fail my tentative, I will ask help to you…

Thanks!

Hi AV2d2,

Two options for you on the play/pause.

In the timeline actionscript…

1 – remove it completely, go to Frame 2, line 23 and comment it or delete it. the button will be gone.

2 – keep the button but keep it in a fixed location. go to Frame 3, lines 530 – 534 and replace them with this code:

playBtn._x = 5; playBtn._y = 5;

pauseBtn._x = 5; pauseBtn._y = 5;

Change the 5 to what ever value you like, but this will keep the buttons in the top left corner.

that was supposed to look like:

playBtn._x = 5;
playBtn._y = 5;

pauseBtn._x = 5;
pauseBtn._y = 5;

stewe,

bang on with that link.

that will give you the fresh XML file every time.

Great effect – thank you.

I am having problem with my slide.. mine measures 860×204px.. it does not display the show in its correct size…. Is there a minimum height?

Thanks

the size can be adjusted in the FLA , just set up the stage size to 860×240 and you will be golden. the file that ships is 590×300, but it can be what ever size you like, as the slide show will adjust and reposition its assets. If you need it to be bigger than the 590×300 it will work fine without altering the stage size in the FLA , it only effects it on smaller sizes. if you don’t have flash i can resize it for you.

How would you go about creating the movie clip in a different location on stage? I need some white space to the left of the animation for something else, tries stage.align property but this doesn’t work for what I need. Any Thoughts?

Cheers

few ways to do it.

1 – would be to load this slide show swf into your main swf by using “loadClip” in the actionscript.

2 – would be to put all the frames (3 of them, all the actionscript frames) that are on the main time line of this slideshow in its fla, into a nested movie clip and then control its location on the stage.

The numbers on the navigation are cut off in your demo (above) and on my end as well. I tried to adjust the below parameters in the XML file, but I am not seeing any change.

font_x_adj=”-1” font_y_adj=”1”

It would be great if there was an option to randomly display the images or if you could just put images in a directory and then it randomly displays them. This way people coming to your site won’t see the first few images a disproportionate amount of the time, but will different images every time.

However, great work…

Does this support image hyperlinks (controlled from the xml)? I’d like to use this as a menu or doorway to another collection when people click the image.

it can be modified to do so, if interested please contact me through the form on my profile page.

what will the menu be if i overflow them.

for example

and so on, will it auto adjust with smooth animation? or i will not beable to view them if they are overflow

So far so good… have the slideshow up and running yesterday. Today I uploaded a new set of photos but several hours after doing so it’s still displaying the old ones. How do you fix that?

Photos are not displayed correctly if they are larger than 590×300. I have tried rezing the stage in the fla file with no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Having trouble making this work. I’ve not changed anything to the original files but when I add it to my HTML file no images are playing. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
