FAQ: HOW DO I LOAD IGALLERYX INTO ANOTHER MOVIE CLIP :

I’ll update the current package with some modifications soon, in the meantime, you can do like this:

1. Create a new FLA and put it in the same folder with IgalleryX. (for example: myLoader.FLA)

2. Let say you wanna load photoStack3d.swf (the image version). In the first key frame, paste these following code:

import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

loadme();

function loadme():void
{
    var l:Loader = new Loader();
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("photoStack3d.swf");
    l.load(req);
    l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
}

function loaded(e:Event):void
{
    addChild(e.target.loader);
    e.target.loader.content.Init();
    e.target.loader.content.Create_gallery();
}

3. Open photoStack3d.as change these code:

 private function Init():void 

to

 public function Init():void 

and

 private function Create_gallery():void 

to

 public function Create_gallery():void 

Also in photoStack() funtion, comment these code, that is to put

//
before:

 Init(); 
 Create_gallery(); 

so they become

 // Init(); 
 // Create_gallery(); 

Compile photostack3d.FLA to export a new SWF , notice that you won’t see anything yet.

4. Open myLoader.FLA and test the movie. BOOOM the gallery has been loaded inside another clip :)

FAQ: I WANT TO DISABLE THE FLIPPING NAVIGATION , HOW DO I ACHIEVE THAT ?

The quickest trick is inside Press function, change these code:

 if (cID != index) changeTo(index); else ... 

to

 if (true) changeTo(index); else ...

Hi RimV,

I’m new to FlashDen.net and am a beginner with Flash (I’m a graphic designer moving into the web world) so please forgive my remedial questions. :)

1. Is Photostack beginner friendly?

2. Also, it looks like I need to integrate PV3D and Tweener Extension into CS3 before I start – where do I find that, how much is it, and how do i do it?

Thanks so much!

BTW Photostack looks totally cool! I’m ready to purchase.

Hi,

Regarding your IgalleryX.

Once I have clicked an image to enlarge it, it’s not clear to me how to get back to the “carousel” view. What am I missing here/

Thank you.

PS. I’m a professional photographer and really like this as a possibility of presenting my portfolio online.

PSS . I use a flash slide program to present projects to clients for review (proofing). It would be helpful to have a interface that allowed the viewer to compare two (or more) pictures from a collection side by side. Are you aware of one?

Thank you. Great work!

@adriandunne: welcome to flash world :-)

Photostack is easy to use and customize, you just need a text editor to edit the XML included and your ready to go

PV3D and Tweener are already included in the package

@coyotecha: I’m not sure what you gonna do to add a Flash (SWF ?) in description view ?

Posted 7 days ago

@unchartedrealms: you should position your loader object by vary x and y position, for example if myLoader is the loader object contains IgalleryX2

myLoader.x = (stage.stageWidth - myLoader.width) * .5;
myLoader.y = (stage.stageHeight - myLoader.height) * .5;

hi i have read the script to put the gallery in another swf, it works but i need to put this gallery in a movie done with swish program. and it doesnt work. could it be because the script you mentioned here is done with AS3 ? Can you please do it with AS2 so i can test it? Thank you

Hi thanks for the reply. Well maybe not in the description but how about over. I used this var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“team.swf”;); myLoader.load(url);

within this function onComplete:function():void

but I’m having a problem finding a code to use to seperate which tile to add the movie to. So it doesn’t appear on all tiles when flipped.

Is there a way to resize this? i want it at 400×200. Would I have to do this manually? Is it hard to do?

Hi,

Very cool stuff. Only one problem I have. The XML syntax is like this: http://pastie.org/233654 And in order to use it together with an other software I would need it to be like this: http://pastie.org/238513 But then it doesn’t display the images. What do you recommend?

Hello RimV

I am another beginner and cant get this to work for the life of me. It sounds fairly straight forward but you never know what human error can occur with us beginners. Here are the steps I have taken:

copy Mylibs 3 into my adobe flash cs3 folder

added a new class path in cs3: Mylibs3

This is where i get stuck. I then open the .fla file and “test move” all I get is a loader. It wont even test with the placeholder images you have in there, I havent even touched the XML file yet. Am I doing something wrong with the extension?

thanks, cant wait to get it up and running.

I would like to resize it too, I need it in 800×600. What do I have to do?

Posted 2 days ago

@albertoro: AS2 doesn’t have Loader class , normally a movie clip is used to load a swf with MovieClipLoader class. BUT this file is AS3 , you can not use a AS2 movie clip to load a AS3 one

@coyotecha: :( sorry I don’t get you, actually don’t understand what you are trying to do.

@euro007: you just need to resize documenent dimension and the holder movie clip, also you may need to adjust z0 to fit the flipped 3d plane with holder clip

Posted 1 day ago

@iandesign: you must be doing something wrong to install the class path, have you follow all the instruction in documentation (especially go to Edit – Preference – Actionscript 3 class path …;)

@mrtamas: In ParseData function , replace

 img[i] = dat.photos.photo.img.attributes()[i]; 

with

Thanks very much! One more question. Is there any way to effectively increase the widh of the MovieClip named “BACK”? I’ve tried to resize the MovieClip itself, but when I export it to SWF , it has the same width as before. I’d need it to be at least 800 pixels.

Hi RimV, fantastic bit of scripting.

I’m using the .swf version of the script, which loads .swf files on the ‘back’ of holder when the relevant thumbnail image is clicked. Some of the .swf files that I am using incorporate videos – in each case there’s a little bit of Actionscript 2.0 script which makes the slider jump to a frame at which an .flv video file begins to stream down from a web server.

When I go to the web site on which I’m using photoStack and click on the first thumbnail, the .swf file that ‘turns round’ works fine; the video displays with no problems. However, when I go ‘back’ to the thumbnails and then select a different thumbnail that has an .swf file containing a video, the video doesn’t display.

I have found that I can overcome this problem and can make the relevant video display every time if I refresh the page each time before I go ‘back’ to the thumbnails. It seems as if refreshing the page clears some sort of cache, but I’m not sure.

So, the question I have is, is there any script you can add to the photoStack_swf.as file to, in effect, force a ‘refresh’ every time the holder turns ‘back’ to the thumbnails?

Many thanks
