  I got this in the special package a few days ago, just finishing up a project using the carousel gallery. It's beautiful, well written and a breeze to work with and customize. Great tech support from Snowcat. Highly recommended! The special package is an amazing deal.
  Thanks,
  Rogor

  hi,
  
  how can you change the xml so that when you click on the big image it goes to a different frame number
  #  /  posted on Feb 20, 2008

  Hello,
  Find the line of code

  getURL(urls[i], "_blank");

  and instead of it put your code for clicking the big image. (e.g. gotoAndPlay(desired_frame); )
  So it's not through XML
  
  Cheers!

  hi! Just having bought your package, a question arose, I´m quite a flash-newbie:
  How can I change the moving-speed of the carousel? It´s a bit nervous when it starts moving so fast.
  
  Best would be to have it moving only when there´s mouse-interacting of the viewer.
  How could that be modified?
  
  Best regards

  Hello Vloom,
  
  All the code is in the first frame of the carousel_container symbol from the Library. You can find there variables to change the aspects of the carousel, like rotatingSpeed to control the moving speed.
  
  Thanks,
  Snowcat

  ...change the color of the image captions?

  davenseo, thon: are you talking about 3D Carousel Gallery or 3D Carousel Menu ? Because in the gallery the PNG's work fine. In the menu, you have to set loadSmoothed variable to false in order to properly load icons.
  
  rezboom: simply Double-click the "description" symbol from the Library, then select the text field in this symbol - which is empty, and then adjust the color in the Properties panel.

  can I use .flv files here instead of images?
  #  /  posted on Apr 03, 2008

  festermonkey, no, the gallery doesn't have support for .flv files

  I can't find the variable "loadSmoothed", would you tell me where can I find it?

  Before purchasing I noticed your disclaimer to not modify, reverse engineer...etc. However, considering I have the knowledge is it really detrimental if I add a tool tip pop up to the images? And possibly modify it in other ways? Maybe add a sound event? Through in a tangent function ;-)...

  Lets talk about a problem I have with the swf calling to the xml file. Below is an example (bad yet accurate example) of my site structure and xml difficulties...
  Page 1
  php include... Insert annoying relative path here/page2.html
  Page2.html
  lines of code.... frame work for main nav...and then php requireonce insert a different annoying relative path here/page3.html
  Page3.html
  some text
  embed swf file (of coarse you know this is also a different annoying path, we must keep the site structure clean you know)
  Since we're in the mode of include and require (which I could just use all includes) I have a logistical nightmare for linking files. The only way for me to make it work is not to use relative links, but instead full paths in the flash file to the xml, which makes development a B because after moving to the live server I now how a bunch of links to change... At midnight when no one is looking at the broken site... No I can't do it before hand because the client would not understand why I had to break their site before setting it to go live. Hmm, I guess that's more of a rant than a question. But your suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  I don't know where you found it's written not to modify... here's what states on the "Buy now" page on each product:
  "By purchasing and downloading this Flash file you are entitled to use it in an unlimited number of websites and other multimedia projects, personal and client work. You may not redistribute but you may modify its contents."
  
  As to your problem, I'm afraid I don't get it... try post this issue into a more appropriate forum, there are specialized forums out there which deal with specific issues like yours. Really sorry.

  Quick response, thanx...
  
  I know that this isn't the best place to post this question, however, to explain further...
  
  In order for the dynamic site to always display the url http://www.mysite.com/home.html instead of http://www.mysite.com/conent/'userchoice'/home.html
  
  http://www.mysite.com/home.html starts with an include (or iframe or include or require) from the content that is decided on by a previous user choice. Even though the page it's pulling from is actually in http://www.mysite.com/conent/'insertuse ... /home.html
  
  and...
  
  In order for that content to be dynamic further.... I'm pointing to a separate folder that is somewhere else in the same site...
  
  So when a person is on http://www.mysite.com/home.html they are (say iframe or include or require) actually pointing somewhere else from the get go. Say they are pointing to gotoandlearn.com, it still considers all links as relative to where it started... http://www.mysite.com
  This is a bad example as it is a different url, but if it was the same I should still be able to use relative links instead of full paths to the xml file.

  Hi Snowcat,
  
  I'd like to know whether I can randomly show a big image at the beginning, instead of showing a big empty space.
  Thanks.

  Hi, excellent job on this, I love it.
  I would like to show some Transparent pings, but when I put it into a vertical menu, they come up with a white background. Anything I need to change in the script for this? Thanks, c

  chiuian: I just re-uploaded a new version (see demo2) where you can set these two variables: showFirstImage (=true/false) and firstImage (can be set from 1 to total number of images)
  
  stiglet: are you sure you're referring to this gallery? or is it the "3D Carousel Image Menu XML"? other product of mine
  
  flashuser101: sorry mate, I'm really confused, sorry I can't help you

  "belvis06" My question is how to get the big image to unload when I click on the next thumb to make that image big.
  
  
  yep, that's my question as well!
  great work Mr Cat!

  Hi,
  
  If you're using PNG's delete the code under this line:
  //inner2 is for adding the second mask
  but keep the last accolade
  
  and change these two lines:
  indd = ind-2;
  inddd = ind-3;
  into:
  indd = ind;
  
  
  Regards,
  Snowcat

  I love this flash component. Unfortunatelly i am as ignorant on the application of flash as Bush is with running this Country or even making sense in his speaches. Anyway, I have a couple of questions.
  1. Can this carousel be set up without that grey background? I have a typical html page with tables and layers, and I would like to add this component as a center peace, if possible.
  2. Can it handle ANY type of image? GIF, JPG, PNG, etc?
  3. Lastly how large (downloading purposes) is this component?
  Thanks for your time assisting my inquery.
  
  Sincerely,
  Janvier

  ocwarts: to deactivate the big image appearance you'll need to edit the onPress event, by removing all it's contents and adding getURL or whatever you want to do when clicking each image
  
  janvier:
  1. you can set any kind of background buy changing the document's properties or adding a colored rectangle on the stage
  2. yes, all mentioned types of images are supported
  3. the published size of the swf is around 15kb; add to that the size of your images
