    How can you center the titles?

    If for example the title is “Rotate” it is left aligned and not centered below the image.

    I just got your app, but I follow the instructions to put it into my own file, but It‘s tossing a bunch of errors at me. I‘ll put a jpeg with a screen shot of the errors at “clickHere” http://www.milwaukeeproductions.com/errors.jepg
    I can‘t imaging what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance!

    Sincerely, Greg Zimdahl.

    Hi, I get similar problems as Greg, and all the errors have the word ‘parent’ in the code, so what could be wrong?

    For example:

    1119: Access of possibly undefined property initZoomOut through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObjectContainer.

    if (this.parent.initZoomOut)

    Hi,

    If everything goes fine in the original file then it should work also in your .fla files, 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 – 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,
    Flashtuning

    Works like a charm now.

    One small thing still: When I have special characters in the menu text: like ? ? ?, they do not show at all. Have tried utf-8 encoding in the xml file, but to no avail. Sorry for pestering you all the time.

    Hi,

    The Unicode characters will work if you use the character itself and specify the XHTML document as UTF-8 (unicode) format:

    Add the following line on top of he xml configuration file:

    <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>

    Also make sure to embed the necessary character sets you need. To do so:

    1. Edit the title_text Movie Clip from the library and select the Text Field from the stage

    2. Click the Embed button from the Properties Panel of the Text Field and select the necessary character sets (you probably need Latin I or Latind Extended variation etc) depending on the language/characters used in your movie.

    Best regards,
    Flashtuning

    When I run it from within Flash CS3 it works fine, as it does when I double click the file.

    However when I add code to embed it on a website, it works but doesnt load everything.

    It appears to drasw the pictures, but the loader is still shown and the images dont resize yet it slides back and forth

    Hi,

    Download again the updated package or go inside the menu movie clip in the library and then go in the ActionScript layer and comment the bpress() and brelease() code lines. (you find them inside the pressHandler() and respective releaseHandler() methods but are not used in this movie and that‘s why yo had that links issue).

    Hi,

    Make sure you have the latest Flash player version installed in your browser and have all the necessary files (xml, images etc) placed in the same folder on your server and it will work just fine.

    Best,

    In the movie library, double click on the imgMc Movie Clip and go in the ReadMe layer inside the finished_loading function at the bottom you will see the titleRef.y and titleRef.x position calculation. You can adjust these values by incrementing/decrementing them with any constant value you need to fit your movie.

    Hi,

    I need to load new pictures at runtime, and tried setting a new value for the xmlData and then launch the init() function, but that created some errors and a mess.

    Is this possible at all?

    br, Karl

    Hi,

    This feature is not included in this version but the application is provided together with the source code and if you have intermediate-advanced ActionScript knowledge you can try removing the current images first, generate a new xml config file and call again the init() method to re-generate the menu based on newly created xml file.

    Hope the suggestion will help.

    We bought this component and have been figuring out how to use it. We have everything the way we want except we can’t get the url tag to work. I did everything your forums said to do, EXACTLY the way it said to do it… and nothing. What am I missing what’s wrong? http://resorttrades.com/2d_menu

    @thetrades:


    Hi,


    This is because you are using the old swf file from the package. You simply open the .fla file in Flash and export a new .swf file.

    I am trying to make the images load another swf as a child into a movie clip above the scrolling menu instead of going to a URL when clicked. how do i do this? I’m not sure how to do this with the XML file.


    basically my scrolling menu is thumbnails of people and when clicked on i would like to show a Bio for that person above. I was hoping to accomplish this one of two ways, either a go to and stop to jump to the frame that has their bio above or having a empty movie clip above and loading an swf into that movie clip depending on which icon is clicked.


    I have everything the way I want except this. Please help if you can, thank you.

    @ oXo sleepy oXo:

    For this purpose you need the 2D Zoom Gallery package including both AS 2.0 and AS 3.0 versions.

    OK, I purchased 2D Zoom Gallery, everything working great now, Thanks. I was wondering if there is a way to have a graphic already showing in the frame when the swf is loaded (that does not correspond to one of the pictures below) instead of there being blank space until one of the icons is clicked. i.e. I want our logo with a small blurb telling the user to click on the pictures below to view the persons bio. (I am using this for a people page on my site)

    @ oXo sleepy oXo:


    If you download the latest package (was just updated today) you will see it loads default the first image and you’ll not see there blank space. You can create a simple custom function based on the code inside the loadBigImage() method and call that function first time when movie loads if you want to load a custom image as default image.

    Bought this today – very easy to customize and works great.


    Unfortunately I cannot get it to display in Dreamweaver or online. The file works fine locally, plays back fine in preview mode, but I’m only getting the background once it is put into Dreamweaver.


    I have the latest version of Flash player, the XML file, JS file and Images folder are in the same directory on my server and my local folder.


    I am missing something here…Any suggestions?

    @Pfly303:


    You should be able to see the menu only when the files are online on your web server and loaded in the browser (like the preview on this site).


    As a suggestion use absolute paths for images, XML etc instead relative paths if you didn’t already do so.

    Thanks - I figured it out. All of that stuff had to be in the same directory as the HTML file I am using. I thought it would make sense to have all of this stuff in a folder called "flash" but that's not working.

    So my new question is, how can I have multiple instances of this component, with different content, on my site? Can I change the link to the xml in the fla file? Obviously, I can only have one xml file named "config" in my root directory so I would either need to change the name of the xml, change the link or be able to place it in a different directory.

    Any help is appreciated.

    There is a bug in above samples (so probably there’s a bug in whole component). While moving mouse from left (outside) of the movie to the right (outside) of the movie and backwards many times sometimes (in fact, very often) first or last image aren’t show properly when you back with the mouse to the movie – I mean margins have different length, and sometimes they are too big.


    Could you fix it?

    This was already previously discussed. We will fix it in the next release. In the meantime you have access to the source code and you can adjust / restrict the mouse horizontal movement and / or the gab parameter of course if you have at least intermediate Flash / AS knowledge.
