Bought between 10 and 49 items

I bought this and thought is was perfect but didn’t realize it fills the FLA file. I read some posts earlier but can’t figure out how to make it exact pixels in the center of the FLA file.

Hi,

I just purchased this slideshow and making my first test I found out that when I use images stored in a different server than the swf with a complete path for example: http://www.mysite.com/images/myImage1.jpg the images appear and then fades away to white for he majority of time, then re-appears for a few seconds for the next transition.

I tested it in combination using images stored in the same server and images from another server, the ones stored in the same server look good all the time but the others do not.

This is a problem since I need to get the images from another server.

Any thoughts?

thanks

if you using it inside an html file then just set the desired with and height in the embed code and if you want to use it inside another .fla file then you have to edit the actionscript code.

I might upload an advanced version or may be just update this file with a lot of more features and one of them is set fixed size inside another .fla file. But I cannot promise whether I will just update this or upload as an advanced version and also no promises for any date of release.

that is a well know cross-domain security sandbox issue. Use google to find about possible solutions.

Seems like you could add in the description that it is not a fixed size and fills in the entire fla size.

@atrimble

you can find Stage.width in the KIZoomSlideshow.as file and replace with your desired fixed width like 400 and similarly find Stage.height and replace with your desired fixed width like 400. Make sure you recompile the .fla file.

I downloaded the file but i cant embedd special charachters like åöä (i’m living in scandinavia). I tried to open the fla, doubleclicked on “textLabeld” in the library, and then clicked on the button “Embedded…”. In the xml-file i tried to change the encoding to various sets with no result. So, how do i embed special charachters? I couldn’t find any info in your helpfile…

The demo version claims that one of the slides will have no text but they all do, i require some slides to have no text and no text bar. how do I do this?

you must be doing something wrong. If you keep the text node as follows, then you should get the desired results:

<text><![CDATA[]]></text>

I purchased this item….can you tell me how you would get the url to open in the same window. I have tried in the XML file target=”_self” and it still will not open in the same window. Is there an actionscript file that is telling it to open in a new window? I need the banner that when clicked on will open in the same window.

@alldayweb

first of all make sure you re-publish the swf file after you makes changes to the actionscript code (this is one of the most common mistake buyers do).

If you already re-publish the swf file then it might be your browser’s setting which open the new urls always in blank window.

I like the look of this file, however, I want to place this in another movieclip, not embedded it in html. The Stage.width & Stage.height suggestion didn’t work. Could you please (pretty please!!) provide the scripting to do this. Thanks!

Hello, I have not read anything about if it is possible to have the images selected at random.

Is it possible to make the images chosen at random? I am not referring to random effects, but random images.

Please reply as soon as you can, because this component is what I need, except I also need the random image selection.

Even PM me if you can.

Thanks in advance.

playing images at random is not implemented in the file but can be done.

Hi,

Is there anyway to set the flash duration for an individual image rather than them all set on 4 or 5 duration speed.

Thanks in advance

@mfclan

Yes, It is mentioned in the description / features area. You can set the value of the duration attribute of an individual slide node. For example to set delay of 5 seconds for a particular image you would use:

<slide duration="5" effect="SCALE-UP" image="IMAGE_PATH_HERE" url="URL_HERE">

I love this Ar rotator, it one of the nicest I’ve found. You know what’s funny, I had made all of the same improvements to this file before it became a V2, thank you for using all of my requested improvements.

The only thing that was done different from the one I made was the Ken Burns Effects and Random Play but the rest of the stuff such as Text BGAlpha, textBGColor, show/Hide Nav, etc I think were very natural changes to evolve this file.

There are a couple things that I noticed in your V2 KIZoomSlideshow.as file that got over looked.

1. The textBGColor is not working. I seems a though you put in all the variables but never applied it to the textHolder.bg element. Here’s the fix, go to line 482 and add in the following:

@if(textBGColor "" | textBGColor undefined){ textBGColor = Number(0xFFFFFF); } var c:Color = new Color(textHolder.bg); c.setRGB(textBGColor);@

this set’s a Default of white if there is no color specified or sets the textHolder.bg to what ever Hex color you choose in the XML .

2. One improvement I use that I think others may like is setting a target value for the URL of each image. Here is the fix, go to line 171 and under that add another line:

Slide.urlTarget = slideNode.attributes.target;

This adds in the target attribute. and then go to line 518 and replace it with this line:

@ if(slides[this.currentSlideID].urlTarget==””|slides[this.currentSlideID].urlTarget==undefined){ getURL(slides[this.currentSlideID].url,”_blank”; } else { getURL(slides[this.currentSlideID].url,slides[this.currentSlideID].urlTarget); }@

this defaults it to poping up a new window if the target value is undefined or use what ever target you wish, IE: _top, _blank, _self etc..

3. And the last thing I saw was a little error checking for empty text elements that fire off an “undefined” error when you don’t have anything between the tags in the XML file. Go to line 370 and change the if statement to read like this.

@ if (slides[this.currentSlideID].text != undefined && slides[this.currentSlideID].text != ’’ { updateText(); } else { removeText(); } @

That’s it! other wise this component is perfect for all your needs!

Keep up the good work SaafiDesign!

thanks for your support. I will fix the issues you have mentioned and will announce here when its done.

@ragscoon

I have fixed the textBGColor but the issue you have mentioned about the empty text is actually not a bug. What you have to do is just leave the text node empty like:

<text><![CDATA[]]></text>

hello, i have a big problem, i need to have to use pictures with different size! my pictures have the same widht, but different height. now can i change the _x and _y position for each picture? cheers

@soel

images are aligned center from both directions and the zoomToX and zoomToY values represent the pivot point of the image. If the image width or height is less than the slideshow size then it adds the extra space to image as well with transparency.

If you need further assistance then please get in touch via email.
