  Hi,

  
  

  I have bought the “All components” package from you few weeks ago.

  
  

  I am using 3D Carousel Menu (AS 2) in one of my projects and having couple of problems:

  
  

  1. I have not been able to get special characters / embedded fonts working on the menu (like ä,å,ö) thought I have done everything according given instructions. Well, this might be just my stupidity… Im using scenes within the movie, do I have to put the hiddent text field in ALL the scenes or just the beginning of the movie?

  
  

  2. Secong issue is about images.xml file and URL parameter. So, I have a movie file that contains several scenes. How the URL has to be written that moving between different scenes is possible by clicking the menu images? is it possible at all?

  For the first issue you can send me an archive with your files with what you have done so far and I’ll make it work for you.

  
  

  For the second question.

  
  

  Open your FLA file.
  Give an instance name to the carousel component that you imported in your project (for example: carousel) from the Properties window (Ctrl + P)

  
  

  Then press F9 to open the Actions panel and write the follwing code:
  Basically you catch an event (thumbReleased) which is launched when you click on a thumb. And after that write the function that treats this event.

  
  

  AS3 version:

  
  

  carousel.addEventListener("thumbReleased", onClick); 
  

  function onClick(e:Event):void
  { var id:Number = e.currentTarget.id; gotoAndPlay(id);
  }@

  
  

  AS2 version:

  
  

  carousel.addEventListener("thumbReleased", onClick); 
  

  function onClick(e:Object):Void
  { var id:Number = e.id; gotoAndPlay(id);
  }@

  
  

  id would be in fact de number of the frame to play.

  It works from 1 to n pictures.
  So make sure that all the tag are correctly closed.
  To catch the thumbnail events, look at the comment I posted just below the ocin33 user.

  the xml file is correct and the application run corectly too, but the animation give me the following error:

  
  

  AS3 – Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds

  
  

  Anyway there a method to hidden this display error (the player give an alert of the errore and asks to continue or cancel all).

  
  

  finally, i’ve just catch the thumbnail events, but i need to add movieclip into the thumbnail it self. something like this: Courosel.thumbNail[event.target.id].addChild(mc)

  Seems you supplied and index that is out of bounds (AS3 ??" Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds). The index starts from 0 to n-1 where n-1 is the number of pictures.

  
  

  The feature you require is not implemented.

  Hi,

  
  

  Here you’ll find an article that explains in detail how to use special characters with this component.

  Snowcat,

  I am using the 3D Carousel Menu program at the following two links:

  1) http://www.ravenind.com/RavenCorporate/efd/Ag/index.php
  and
  2) http://www.ravenind.com/RavenCorporate/efd/CF/index.php

  The first one loads much slower than the second but I can't figure out why. They are virtually identical. The second one even uses larger picture files. Can you help me figure out how to speed up the first one?

  Help

  
  

  I was expecting to get a workable template like the one on the demo to create a carosel and then generate the .swf file

  
  

  how can i do this?

  To customize your carousel you’ll need to use the live demo on this page.
  After choosing the desired settings, press the Generate settings.xml button on the controls panel.
  Then copy the generated xml content in your settings.xml file.

  PixelFixer,

  
  

  I don’t think is a problem from the carousel.
  For example if you check this page:
  http://www.ravenind.com/RavenCorporate/efd/Ag/carousel.swf
  and this page
  http://www.ravenind.com/RavenCorporate/efd/CF/carousel.swf

  
  

  You’ll see that both of them load at the same time.

  
  

  Try to insert the carousel in two blank html pages. See if this also happens.

  Why aren’t the menu items passing behind the logo. Seriously it will not work like it did in the demo with the purchased version. Some help here?

  Why can’t I get links to work? Why can’t I find better support?

  I want my money back this is dumb. I pay and yet when I right click it’s clearly not free of information about it. And it won’t link and didn’t render right out of the box. This is unacceptable.

  Hi,

  
  

  To disable the right click contextual menu you’ll need to write the following tag in your settings.xml file.

  
  

   <showAbout value="false" />

  
  

  Create this element in the <General_Properties> parent tag.

  
  

  What do you mean by “it won’t link and didn’t render right out of the box”.
  Could you please be more explicit?

  Hi, I posted before on FlashXML but purchased your ALL FILES package here. I am trying to use Shadowbox… or whatever will allow me to open an HTML page with links in the greyed out popwindow (rather then just an image). I tried using the response you provided Paul Tedeschi but I still cant get it to work.

  
  

  I think the small tutorial you put there still applies to images not inserting HTML... can you provide another one that will allow inserting the HTML pages. Thanks in advance, Renato

  Hi,

  
  

  To display html content try to specify something like this in your images.xml file at the url attribute:

  
  

  url="javascript:GroupDelegate('images/01.jpg','html','An html page')"

  Hi, I put in the following altered code based on your last post:

  
  

  <photo image=“images/01.jpg” bigimage=“images/01_expanded.jpg” url=“javascript:GroupDelegate(‘images/01.jpg’,‘html’,‘home01.html’)” target=”_self” lightboxInfo=“Optional description for image 1” info=“Héllo”><![CDATA[We do it faster… better]]></photo>

  
  

  But it still wont work. I am getting a page error. The carousel works but clicking on an image goes nowhere. However, I set up a regular text link to trigger a SHADOWBOX event which opens ‘home01.html’ in its window and it works fine. So the code for SHADOWBOX is working.. its jut something to do with the flash component.

  Hi,

  
  

  Could you please tell me more exactly what it’s not working?
  The AS3 version of the component or the AS2 version?
