Aug 4, 08 : File updated. scaleImageToFit in xml now allows images to scale according to width or height. Have a look at the XML . Pls re-download file if necessary

May 25, 08 : File updated, Title & Description duplication bug fixed & image smoothing feature added. Pls re-download file if necessary

A simple, slick & professional looking XML based slide show site.

New Features on V2:

  • Multiple categories.View the XML .
    Have unlimited amount of categories and images easily managed on a dedicated XML file.
  • Widescreen-active-accordion-content.
    Load any SWF with interactive contents into this slideshow as one of the pages. All linked together in XML . Preloader are included automatically, so no preloaders needed for your external SWF files.
  • Permalink & Grab image options on right click menu.
    Link directly to an image or simply open just the image in another browser. You can also directly right click the thumbnail to open the image in a new window! Uses PHP to send GET data to flash via FlashVars.
  • News Ticker.View the XML .
    A simple and practical XML news ticker.
  • Centralized setup XML . View the XML .
    A single XML to modify the behavior of the gallery, accordion, news & general settings.
  • Pin-up menu.
    Pin the bottom menu to keep it showing all times.
  • Cache killer.
    No worries on viewer’s side to clear their cache to see new updated content.

Basic features as seen on V1:

  • Easy to navigate; just roll your mouse wheel to go to next or previous image!
  • Images are Scaled to fit screen, no distortions! (if its not set to scale, image will position itself in the center).
  • One click to fullScreen mode!
  • Add in as many images as you wish, the buttons will scroll automatically, resize the browser and see the difference!
  • Set auto start/countdown duration, slide speed, choose to scale images or not all in XML itself!
  • Main movie preloader & image preloaders are included too.
PLS NOTE : this slideshow only shows images as it is using bitmapData to re-capture the images, so if you try to load a swf it will only show the 1st frame. cheers!

AATW - added along the way

  • BugFix ( March 26, 08 )
    Title & Description duplication across category:

    select frame labeled ‘done’. Press F9 to open actionscript panel. Press CTRL +F to do a find & replace.
    Find: 
    imgArray[root.curImage]
    
    replace with:
    imgArray[root.curImage + root.fromItem]
    
    there should be 8 replacements in total.

ITEM DISCUSSION

Show Comments By

I am working with my template and noted the same problem as user thewerks:

“Currently the movie shows the image Fullscreen and constrains only horizontally (once it reaches full screen from left to right the image stops scaling); however, the top and bottom of the image gets cut off depending on the users screen resolution and browser size.

Is their a way to scale both vertically and horizontally – whichever reaches fullscreen first, stop scalling the image. So if the images are vertical in orientation, they should show full screen from top to bottom, but have empty canvas space from right to left.”

your response to him was to re-download an updated version of the file, since this is my problem, do I need to download another version, or how is this fixed?

thanks again

Re: Automatically set date in News, thanks for your response:”Im not sure why you would want to do this, the news are added manually in the xml, so if you were to have the date automatically set, then the rest of the news will all have the same date..”

this is exactly what I would like to do, all news to automatically get Todays Date, can it be done? thanks again

Not really sure what XML is so here is a silly question…

Right now I work with Lightroom galleries to achieve a large quantity photo gallery in a very short time.

Does XML mean that I can do the same? Does it have a way for me to populate a large number of images in a short time?

Thanks, Motti

thanks for the update on this encryptme – i appreciate it

I noticed after downloading the new files, you have built in four choices to the gallery.xml – setting the

True False Width Height

Is it possible to have it set to both “width” & “height” at the same time? My desired result would be for the image to constrain dynamically to the users screen size, based on the orientation of the image. For example: If the image is a portrait orientation, it would constrain vertically and if the image was a horizontal orientation, it would constrain horizontally.

Let me know if thats possible. I noticed another post requesting the same thing.

thanks, theWerks

it’s been a couple days since i got this file and just did not have a chance to dig into it but it is great!

i’d like to know whether there’s a way to let the “about” section open when first entering the site and keep it that way during the slideshow.

thanks…

Purchased this gallery and love it.

Two small points:

Is there a way to remove the blur on the “About tab” when you mouse over it?

I have made my own preloader to replace the stock one but whenever I use it it affects the thumbnail position. If you resize the browser window the thumbnails go back to the correct place above the numbers at the bottom of the screen.

theWerks & Fotographia
sorry for the late reply, this update will give you the width or height auto adjustment, but please note whatever you put for scaleImageToFit in xml will have no effect as it will automatically choose width or height based on the image’s dimension.

on frame labeled ‘done’, actionscript, see line 458, which starts with:
listener.onLoadInit = function(target:MovieClip) {
.......

in that function, ADD IF ARGUMENT right after the root.imageHolderDone._alpha = 0 like below.

root.imageHolderDone._alpha = 0;
if(root.imageHolderDone._width < root.imageHolderDone._height){
    root.imageScale = "height";
}else{
    root.imageScale = "width";
}

@motti_b
you can find some xml editor on flashden to help manage build your xml.

@jia_jin
yes, you can see frame labeled ‘done’ in the actionscript, on the last line at the very bottom, just add:
showAbout();

@schoolhousefunk
ill reply your email soon

@schoolhousefunk the reason why your thumbnails have gone up its because, the thumbnail itself shares the same preloader as the big images.. if you notice you can see the huge preloader before the thumbnail is loaded. You may want to shrink it to be smaller than the thumbnail.

as for the blur on about text, in about_btn movieclip, you can remove all keyframes except the 1st keyframe.. since you dont have any rollover effect. Or you can change from static text to dynamic text and embed the font.

btw nice photography :)

Problems loading SWF files which have xml dynamic content:

- For the Tab “About” on this site, I am using a dynamic scroller text created in Flash which uses an XML file. When I view the site on my browser, the Flash file appears, but not the XML content from the scroller text. Is this a bug problem with the site? Are you not able to publish XML content from this SWF file in your site?

I’m not sure how to solve this problem. I’ve tried all venues and it seems as though this site does now allow for SWF ’s which include external XML files for scroller text.

What other solutions do you have other than using STATIC text for the SWF file?

Please advise.

you should make sure you external swfs(child) can work when it is called into another the slideshowsite(mother). You are having this prob due to the external file which is not coded in a way that it can work when its called as a child.. in other words, you need to avoid using _root in external swfs.

will this thing run on a server that does NOT support php?

Posted 2 months ago

buroproper
yes there is the normal html you can use instead of the php, but the right click options will not work, so you can disable it in the setup xml.

Hello encryptime,

I have purchased this file a while ago and now I’m working with this slideshow for a personal project.

So there is one thing that I’ve been trying to get over but I can’t! So I hope you can help me with that, all I want to do is that the first photo of slideshow it’s loaded from the very beggining. Therefore when the main preloader (the thin green) it’s done the user can see the first photo.

Thanks!

could the thumbnails be shown on the bottom in place of the numbers? that way i’d have a clear view of what images there are, without having to roll over

Posted 2 months ago

Hello, is there a way to place prev / next buttons?

also, could it be possible to have info on both sides? Like a magazine portfolio, where you upload a picture and the picture is like 2 page section, you have a section on the left and another section on the right.

Thanks

May i upgrade my purchased “mySlideShowSite (xml fullscreen gallery)” to the new “mySlideShowSitePro (V2)” paying the difference…?

@Robye
according to FlashDen rules, im afraid that’s not possible my friend..

Posted about 1 month ago

there seems to be a limit to how many galleries I add to this. I added 6 more this morning, and now the gallery navigation crapped out on me.

Anyone know a fix? please email me at mikeysandiego@gmail.com if so.

here’s the site and problem: http://www.frenzyrumble.com

Hello,

Is it possible to show flv movies on this site, and if you can can you describe how it works.

Thank you! /Henke

@frenzy_rumble
ive replied your email, for the benefit of others here was my answer:

I did get an issue like this before from someone, he had more than 90+ images on a single category, and the masking went haywire.. it appears that flash dynamic masking cant handle extremely large, too loong or too wide objects which needs to be masked.. the only i could offer was to reduce the amount and separate it to another category.

In your case, if i may kindly suggest, use can use a multilevel menu like mySectionedMenu to replace the category instead of having a very long list. Do let me know if you face any problems in the process.

@HenKar80
you can only have flv movies loaded in the “ABOUT” section, not the main gallery which only supports images.

Posted about 1 month ago

If I only want 1 swf (About) like you have one V1, what do I have to do? I have fix so I have one swf, but its fade black! Its like a mouse over effect that make it been little fade black.

Thanks! /Henrik

yes you need to edit the script go on frame labeled ‘done’ in the AS scroll down till yous see ‘news functions & settings’.. just before that, there is a for loop like this:
for (var i = 0; i < a_num; i++) {
    var m:MovieClip = a_hol.createEmptyMovieClip("m" + i, a_hol.getNextHighestDepth());
    var mmc:MovieClip = a_hol.attachMovie("inv", "mmc" + i, a_hol.getNextHighestDepth());
    var img:MovieClip = m.createEmptyMovieClip("img", m.getNextHighestDepth());
    var inv:MovieClip = m.attachMovie("acc_shade", "inv", m.getNextHighestDepth());
    var tit:MovieClip = m.attachMovie("a_title", "tit", m.getNextHighestDepth());
    var pre:MovieClip = m.attachMovie("a_pre", "pre", m.getNextHighestDepth());
    tit.txt.text = root.accSWFs[i][0];
    tit.txt.autoSize = true;
    tit.bg._width = tit.txt._width + 5;
    tit.bg._height = tit.txt._height;
    tit._alpha = 70;
    tit._y = root.s_accSwfHeight / 2;
    tit._x = root.rangeOff / 2 - tit._width / 2;
    pre._x = root.rangeOff / 2 - pre._width / 2;
    pre._y = tit._y - pre._height;
    myLoader_simple.loadClip(root.accSWFs[i][1], img);
    img._alpha = inv._alpha = 0;
    inv._width = root.s_accSwfWidth;
    inv._height = root.s_accSwfHeight;
    m.no = mmc.no = i;
    m._x = mmc._x = root.rangeOff * i;
    mmc._width = root.rangeOff;
    mmc._height = root.s_accSwfHeight;
    mmc.cacheAsBitmap = m.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    m.setMask(mmc);
    mmc.onRollOver = rolSec;
}
just replace it with this:
for (var i = 0; i < a_num; i++) {
    var m:MovieClip = a_hol.createEmptyMovieClip("m" + i, a_hol.getNextHighestDepth());
    var mmc:MovieClip = a_hol.attachMovie("inv", "mmc" + i, a_hol.getNextHighestDepth());
    var img:MovieClip = m.createEmptyMovieClip("img", m.getNextHighestDepth());

    if(a_num > 1){
        var inv:MovieClip = m.attachMovie("acc_shade", "inv", m.getNextHighestDepth());
        var tit:MovieClip = m.attachMovie("a_title", "tit", m.getNextHighestDepth());
        tit.txt.text = root.accSWFs[i][0];
        tit.txt.autoSize = true;
        tit.bg._width = tit.txt._width + 5;
        tit.bg._height = tit.txt._height;
        tit._alpha = 70;
        tit._y = root.s_accSwfHeight / 2;
        tit._x = root.rangeOff / 2 - tit._width / 2;
    }

    var pre:MovieClip = m.attachMovie("a_pre", "pre", m.getNextHighestDepth());
    pre._x = root.rangeOff / 2 - pre._width / 2;
    pre._y = tit._y - pre._height;
    myLoader_simple.loadClip(root.accSWFs[i][1], img);
    img._alpha = inv._alpha = 0;
    inv._width = root.s_accSwfWidth;
    inv._height = root.s_accSwfHeight;
    m.no = mmc.no = i;
    m._x = mmc._x = root.rangeOff * i;
    mmc._width = root.rangeOff;
    mmc._height = root.s_accSwfHeight;
    mmc.cacheAsBitmap = m.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    m.setMask(mmc);

    if(a_num > 1){
        mmc.onRollOver = rolSec;
    }
}
