THE LOOKING GLASS (HORIZONTAL): XML IMAGE GALLERY

Nick67: Yes, of course, you could create a double click event, or a button above each image, or something else I’m not thinking of right now…

Thanks everyone for your support and comments. I’m glad to hear these positive responses, especially since the file isn’t working correctly! Normally it works better – normally it will take up the full browser area and then scroll on mouse position so you can see the rest of it. It isn’t working because for some reason, FlashDen doesn’t support SWF Object. :s But I’ve contacted them about it and hopefully it should be fixed pretty soon.

The file is now fixed and correct as I intended.

lineshift: going to send you a message / email…

Okay, lineshift, too bad you don’t have any contact info. Loading in and out swf can be tricky, but it should be okay. Of the top of my head I can think of two issues that might potentially cause errors – one, make sure the caurina folder and files are still in the same directory as the swf, and two, make sure if you’re loading the swf into something, you take the preloader out, or modify the initial loading of itself (with the root.addEventListener… Please email me with more info – if not, I hope that helps a little. Thanks.

damsel: Currently what’s supported is basically what you see. You can have a link, but you will have to enable the text field as an htmlText field. You can disable the wobble effect and have it zoom on mouse click instead of hover, but you will have to change the action script listeners and functions for that – AS3 knowledge will be need – this isn’t supported dynamically. However, the pictures can have different widths, this is supported dynamically through XML .

I’ve had a few enquiries about The Looking Glass asking if they could have the file without the mouse position movement, just a continuous loop of the images slowly moving across the stage. I will be making this and putting it up soon. Thanks.

damsel: Just making sure there are no misunderstandings: you can have the images any size you want, but each image in the file has to be the same, if for example image 2 in the set is wider than the 1st, it will be cropped off – you set the width and height of the images (all images) in the XML . Thanks.

lvbassler, yes, I’m sorry, it is you.. The file works fine. In all seriousness, please email me if you are still having problems.

funkybudda, this code is on the timeline.
