Great component but I can’t get the extra info to display for some reaon. The current variable settings are:
showDescription = true;
infoY = 400; //The Y position of the description text
Do you know what the prblem may be?
Thank you.
olivercoquelin, maybe you changed the font or embedding the font’s characters?
I was trying to use the component in CS4. For some reason the text inf doesn’t work in that one? So I did it in Flash 8 and it works. However I need to change the colour of the info text to a darker colour. Is this possible with a variable or could you direct me to the code I need to adjust please?
Thank you
Sorry for the empty message, not my fault.
To change the color of the text double click the “description_text” symbol from the Library (Ctrl L), select the empty text field on the stage, then go to Properties panel (Ctrl F3) and you’ll find different text properties in there, including the color.
Grate scripts! I bought full 1st package!
I’ve got small question. How can I change the big image link, that on release it will not go to URL from XML, but it will load next photo from the carousel?
I tried:
inner.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);
}
but it didn’t work.
thx!

Hello. Just wanted to know if the extra info or “description” could be broken into two lines. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
kreatywwwni, you will have to do the following:
Add this line at the beginning of the code:
var currentImage:Number = 0;
Under this line:
loadImage = function(i) {
add this line:
currentImage = i;
Replace getURL function with
if (currentImage == total-1) currentImage = -1;
loadImage(currentImage+1);
edsalin, to have the text on multiple lines you'll have to edit the "description" symbol from the Library and narrow the width of text field on the stage, and higher the height
Hello Snowcat!!
Your components are really awesome, I have a question, how can I set the small and the big image in the xml file for this component??
Thanks
Regards
Charles
Thank you facilwebcol, the small and the big image are one and the same. The small image is actually a reduced size of the big one.
Hi, i want to put the big image in the middle of the circle of thumbs, behind the front thumbs and in front of back thumbs.
How can i do it?
Very thanks
This is an awesome component. I’ve easily integrated with my website. The only problem I’m experiencing is changing the background color. I have attempted the following, but neither one works:
1. <param=“bgcolor” value=”#000000” />
2. <param=“wmode” value=“transparent” />
Since I do not have a copy of Flash, I cannot open the file and modify it. The background appears to be a gradient image. Is this the reason the parameters fail? In a reply in June 2008 you indicated in a post to Javier that “you can set any kind of background buy changing the document’s properties or adding a colored rectangle on the stage”.
I would appreciate your assistance with this problem.
Thanks
s.nannipieri, to have the depth of the big image in between the depths of the thumbs, you’ll have to do the following:
move this line:
createEmptyMovieClip(“thumbs”, 1);
above this line:
img = createEmptyMovieClip(“img”, 2);
and change this last line to:
img = thumbs.createEmptyMovieClip(“img”, 0);
then change this line:
thumb = thumbs.createEmptyMovieClip(“th” i, i);
to:
thumb = thumbs.createEmptyMovieClip(“th” i, i 1);
Now all you need to to is to play with these two values: img._x and img._y
roywill46, this line
<param="wmode" value="transparent" />
should be enough to have a transparent background, the only problem is that you need Flash to edit the FLA file and remove the rectangle on the stage which acts like a gradient background. If you cannot edit the FLA file, send me a private message and I’ll send you a copy without the rectangle on the stage.
Is there a settings file, similar to the Carousel Menu, that would more control such as rotational speed? Or, can FlashVars be used?
Hi, i have 2 swf files (one for 1024×768 screen and other one for higher resolution) with the same xml file and images (bigimage size 250×250).
I have to resize in the first movie the bigimage 1/2 width of second movie but i can’t do it beceuse if i change the size of the movie (of the bigimage) the image is cut and i can’t resize directly the bigimage because the second movie is ok.
What can i do?
Hi there, great script! just a question. Does it support animated swfs? my problem is that although I replaced the still images with animated swfs, it doesn’t play the animation. the swfs i’m calling are simple timeline based animations.
thanks!
Question: Instead of using static images (JPG, GIF, PNG, etc.) can they be SWF files? And is it possible instead to have the user click on the thumbnail image to change, can you change the parameters in the ActionScript to be a kind of slide show for its own?
s.nannipieri, send me a private message with what you’re trying to do, because I don’t quite understand from your description
roywill46, this one doesn’t have the required options, I’ll release a similar one in a few weeks
gothsmog, Miloman, I’m afraid SWFs are not supported
btw…if you would like to see how I’ve used your components, my website is http://www.instanceintime.com. They’ve made a big improvement in displaying my images.
fairly new to this… quick question, how do i change the font color of the image description? <—noob
ThinkProfits, you can change the font properties by editing the FLA file with at least Flash 8 and in the Library (Ctrl L) double-click the “description” symbol, then click on the empty text field on the stage and go to the Properties panel (Ctrl F3). In there you have all the properties of the description text, including font.
There is no limit for the number of images.
Hi snowcat,
how do i set the url param in the images.xml file? its only work with local html-files annd not wit?h a url?
thanx!
I really don’t understand your question. Please be more specific.
Or send me a private message.
I mean, you have the carousel with small picture.
When you click on the small picture, a big picture appear.
I want know if the big picture can be different of the small.
Thanks
