I can’t open the Flash file!

Could you check it out, and save a version for Flash 8.
Thanks.
@nickkim:
The AS 2.0 .fla version from within the package was re-saved to Flash 8 so now you can open it in Flash 8, Flash CS4 , CS4.
Hi I am having that problem of not being able to open with Flash 8. Please advise. Thanks!
@arashi007:
As previously answered you can open the ActionScript 2.0 .fla version in Flash 8 and above and the ActionScript 3.0 .fla in Flash CS3 and above.
It’s ok, I was able to download CS4. When I click on the large picture, it disappears…is there a way to remedy this? How would I go about just keeping the large picture and disabling the click option on it? Thanks for your speedy response.
@arashi007:
You simply open the .fla file in Flash end double click the big image Movie Clip from the stage and go to ReadMe layer and find and comment the following code line:
//FADE OUT WHEN USER PRESS THE IMAGE BOX// this.onPress = addPressHandler;
Hi, is it possible for you to provide the code for disabling the click on the large picture? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much for your help.
Hi,
We’ve already pointed to you the code line in the previous message. You simply need to comment that code line.
Best,

Hi,
Thinking of using your component. Can I change your scroll bar to horizontal as well?
Thanks

@johnled:
This was already previously answered. This version has only horizontal orientation but if you are familiar with Flash / AS you can adjust the code to work vertically.
I bought the 2D Zoom Gallery because, according to your comments, it now can be opened with Flash 8. However, I’m getting error messages saying it cannot be opened.
Please advise. Thanks.
@gIndi:
You can not open an ActionScript 3.0 .fla file in Flash 8. AS 3.0 is only for Flash CS 3 and CS4 and probably next Flash releases.
For ActionScript 2.0 version we have re-saved the .fla file for Flash 8 format (it was saved with CS3 that’s why you can not open it in a previous Flash version).
Now you can download again the package and use the AS 2.0 version with Flash 8.
Thanks!
The second download opens like a charm! Thanks for your quick and attentive service!
A few questions: Are there more detailed instructions other than the short Read Me file in the folder and the equally short instruction in the Action Script?
I’m having difficulty finding where to edit descriptions (captions) and am unable to find any instruction on that. I’m also looking to add more than five images and am unable to find how to include additions to the menu.
And finally, is it necessary to label the html page as index?
Thank you.
@gIndi:
For the moment there is quick start guide ReadMe.txt file and the well commented Action Script code.
There is no difficulty find where to add titles and other images.
You simply edit the config.xml configuration file and create a new entry for each new image.
Obviously it is not necessary to label the html page as index, but I guess you as a designer /developer are familiar with including Flash objects inside a HTML page.

Hey thanks for the great gallery,
I’m having a small issue though, I’m trying to add this to a exsisting flash file but when I copy & paste the frames I’m getting the following error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property loaderanim through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.
I’m still looking into this but haven’t had much luck yet. Any ideas whats causing this & how can i fix it?
I’ve even tried coping & pasting the frames into a new flash file & still getting the same error.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello,
You just need to uncheck the strict error setting for your Flash file settings.
1. Open the Publish Settings Panel from the File menu or inside your newly created .fla file press CTRL Shift F12.
2. Go to the Flash tab and click on the Settings button on the right of the ActionScript version drop down.
3. Uncheck the Errors %u2013 Strict Mode checkbox and you can also uncheck the Automatically declare stage instances checkbox.
4. Click ok / ok and run again your .fla file.
Best regards,

i've a little trouble with the gallery. i've configured the xml file, exported the swf. file, but when i upload all on my site, i can see only the big images, the thumbs are not visible, only the preolad images. what i do?
I've been trying to reach the author of this flash file without success. I'm having similar issues with this file. I need to add 35 pictures instead of 5 pictures looped several times. I also need to have a link to 35 specific frames within my movie. And I need the dock to appear upon rollover of the bottom area, much like a mac dock. Can anyone help with this.
@marcosantoro: make sure you are using lowercase file names / extensions ( eg: .jpg not .JPG )
@priska: as long as you edit the image entries inside the xml configuration file and/or add new entries and use absolute paths it will work just fine like you see in the online example
Overall thi is a free file so you can adjust it freely any way you like.
Hi there,
I was just wondering... How do I add more pictures? I need about 20 images... I know I go to the xml file but Im not sure what the coding should be? Can you maybe help me with this?
Regards
Hi,
Edit the config.xml configuration file in your favorite text / heml editor and go to the bottom in the image group area you'll see image entries similar to this:
Remove / duplicate/ edit these kind of entries and replace the source attribute value with your own small image version name and the same for url value ( the big image preview name ) and so on.
Also make sure to add the respective images inside the images folder.
