I disagree with the Quality of Documentation as “Some Help”. I’ve commented every line of Actionscript and have fully explained how to customize this file and what each XML node means. I’ll provide the read me file below.

Read Me file To edit:

XML Guide: speed=”4” – 4 is the number of seconds between each slide fadeInSpeed=”2” – 2 is the number of seconds for the fade in transition fadeOutSpeed=”1” – 1 is the number of seconds for the fade out transition captions=”on” – can have it as “on” or “off” – this turns the captions on/off

images/triworks_abstract1.jpg – has the path and the file name (JPG, PNG , GIF, SWF are allowed formats) <![CDATA[Caption 1]]> – the caption

Also make sure that you resize the stage size in Flash to match your dimensions.

Yes, just resize the stage accordingly.

Can each image be linked to a separate url? If so, I will purchase.

Thank you, Greg

Once you click on a link (circle), the rotation of images stops. can it be made to go to the clicked number and continue cycling from there?

Very nice, otherwise.

@greg – it can be done with a small amount of work. ~ 30 mins. @irvin – yes. you would need to replace line 83 with:

startTimer(speed);

Are there other transitions apart from the “fade” transition? Thanks!

I’m using the buit-in Flash Tweener using the “_alpha” property. Get creative with it, I’m sure you could apply lots of different types of animation to it.

I am using dreamweaver and tried inserting it as a flash video, but I’‘m not having much luck. I know that my folder was labeled assets, so I added an s accordingly in the XHtml. Is there anything I’m missing?

Can you update this there is no preloader between pictures and play pause.I will buy then

Posted 5 months ago

abenson

There is a preloader in the file. It’s hidden in this preview. You can turn it on in line 128 (just uncomment it).

Can the images link to a URL ? if so is this easily done?

How can I make the images overlapping each other instead of fading?

Posted 5 months ago

abenson

einfusion – Yes this can be done in 10 minutes. After some consideration I should have implemented that as an optional feature. Contact me on my profile page and I’ll help out. I have a file that already consists of this.

Janis – Would be moderately difficult with this file. I assume you mean that you want the next picture to fade on top of the previous picture. I have a file that does exactly this. I’ll be uploading some variations of this.

Nice – although I can “Add unlimited images” to the XML file, the disc (circle buttons) array seems to cap at 25 items on screen.

I can’t figure out how to change it to display 30, or 40, or 50 etc.

Hi, I am having trouble getting the flash file to work in the website I am building on my website.

I have used this code:

But every time I load the page up. The Flash file is just a blank, black image.

Where as when I just go to the link of the SWF file, the flash file will work fine. It is just when I embed the flash file that it goes to a blank, black image.

Thanks I hope you can help me with this problem. Seeing as I have tried many different types of flash embedding coding.

thanks again

Hi! Nice work… but two questions…

1) After uncommenting the preloader line, the preloader keeps playing, even after completing the loading. Any idea why?

2) I want to use this flash in 3 languages-versions. So I made 3 xml-files. By clicking a banner it should switch to another language. But how can I restart the slideshow (or reload the XML )? Is there a simple line of code for it?

Is it too complicated to put a prev/next button?

joeahair

Hi. Can it be set to take up 90% of the page so that it displays the same on all monitor sizes (I want to use 1500×660 images but obviously this’ll be too big for some monitors so rather that go off the edge of the screen I want to set the width to 90% and the height by dynamic based off that).

Thanks for the great file. I need to load this movie clip into a another in my flash file. The container is several levels deep. Which line will I need to append to make it work for me? Thanks in advance.

I’ve messaged you on your profile page requesting help with the clickable URL code. If you can please send that to me that’d be awesome. Thanks!

Nevermind… I’ve figured it out actually. Thanks though.
