Dynamic Photo Show

[wyclef]

Can someone direct me to an example of one of those sites that has dynamic photos in the center that resize a square when loaded.

do a search here. You will find one because I asked for one last year. I think it's called dynamic photo gallery or something

[webguy]

yeah I know one of the forums top posters has one attached to their user information. I did a little looking but couldn't find it. Go to the members link, sort by post count and go through the www's in there. Somone had it..just can't recall who.

It was Jess. Thanks man. I still have the flash file. I didn't give you any images but you can replace the image name on actionscripts to yours.

How would I be able to have the jpgs also load as thumbnails? and is there a way to set it up so everytime you add a new jpg to an image directory it automatically adds a new thumbnail and next button or something?

[webguy]

yes wyclef there is plenty of ways.

XML - and other programming languages (ASP, PHP, PERL, etc).

However, you will have to load them all in, because flash can't load a low resolution version of an image. It has to load the entire thing.

are there any examples of this anywhere? that would be a cool function if flash could load low rez version of high rez jpgs. i guess that would require a lot of processor power though

[webguy]

loading a load rez version first is called interlacing. Unfortunately from what I have heard you can't use interlaced images with flash, though I haven't tried. There are some tutorials here, that might help. This one in particular:

http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/load_edit_save_vars/index.shtml

Gets you started working with external programming languages, namely PERL. Which is the programming language I prefer as it is is pretty powerful, and well supported.

The process you are looking to accomplish is fairly simple : Get flash to ask an external source to for a list of documents in a directory. The external source then returns an array of documents that flash can then cycle through and load. From there you can do whatever you want to them with AS.

The only thing keeping it from being completely self contained is AS's ability to get a directory listing. Oh well, maybe it is is AS 2.0, I haven't looked yet.

I like this slide show loader alot...how would I go about loading visible preloaders to the middle of the square. I would also like to add ellasticity to this as in the carolcard link at the top.

When I load this movie into another movie the box shows up and resizes to the pictures but does not show up. I have attatched a link ot the file. loading this file is in section 1 of snow.
the first option you have.
thanks
