I was wondering if it is possible to specify the width and height of each image in the XML file?

Hi,
How to give links to the thumbnails to open large view in flash itself
or how to link thumbnails to open a movieclip with large view.
Can someone help with this..

xheartonfire43x, you cannot specify different widths and heights for each image as they all must have the same width and height.
The solution for this is to have the images saved as PNGs with transparent margins.
quentin, I cannot provide you with this kind of support. However, you could find this article very useful in achieving the specified behavior. Also the video tutorial above uses an example of event catching.

um.. how do I change buttonSymbol to a personal button ?
and is it possible to use mousewheel to spin the carousel instead of zoom?

bybrickjohan, to use your own button, you’ll have to create it as a symbol in the Library, right click it, select Properties, check “Export for ActionScript”, and give it a name in the Identifier text field. Then use this name for the buttonSymbol value of the Carousel (either in the Component Inspector window – Shift F7 with the Carousel component selected, either in the settings.xml file – be aware that the values in the settings.xml file override the values assigned in the Component Inspector)

I am having problems with using the carousel and the gallery on the same site. They both use the same name (inages.xml) for the xml file so the carosel ends up pulling all of the gallery photos. How do I go about changing where one of these points to? Thank you!

I really like this, it is so cool. I would like to use the lightbox with it also. I have all the files and folders in the same folder as my html but it still doesnt work. Do I need to remove the link tags or something?
Could someone email me their html code using the lightbox feature so maybe I will see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

stitchhepit1, to set a different XML file for the Carousel and a different one for the Image Gallery when using them in the same page you’ll have to do the following (normally you only need to change just one of the two): – with 3D Carousel Menu 3.0 you will have to change the parameter called imagesXML in the Component Inspector window (Shift F7) in Flash (with the instance of the Carousel component selected on the Stage) – with the Image Gallery you’ll find the following line of code in the first frame of the first layer (having the Actions panel opened – F9):
xml.load(“images.xml”);
and change images.xml with a different filename.
jeffvee, I added an example of lightbox usage in the free archive from Flash XML. Please click here to download it dirrectly

When purchasing the menu do we get the FLA file at all? I’d like to use this menu to launch some videos instead of images and I just want to make sure the menu could handle some modification before purchasing it.

shinyranger, you’ll get a FLA file containing the Carousel component, but you will not find code in it (that’s the purpose of a component, you don’t need to edit the code of the component, you could only modify its parameters). You will find here detailed instructions on how to use the component in Flash, and I’m sure you could launch anything you like from within Flash.

I got the image prob figured out. However, now the logo in the center is sometimes (random) displayed at an angle. My webpage is www.visualperfectiondetailing.com. I put an auto refresh in there because it seemed to help, but it is still acting up. Try it a few times if it is not doing it for you. Thank you,
Jason

Good morning,
I use flashCS3 (vs 9). After installing the new component in my Adobe extension manager I don’t see “FlashXMLnet” in the components-window to go on. What went wrong?
# / posted on Mar 27, 2009

Jancla, as seen in the video tutorial above, in Adobe Extension Manager you have a drop-down box where you can select the Flash version for which you can check-uncheck each component. Select Flash CS3 and check the Carousel.
Stitchthepit1, I will provide you with an update in a few more days

Ok, the problem was, I opened FlashCS3 and choosed ActionScript vs 3.0 instead of AS vs 2.0. With 2.0 it all works.
1. Is there any possibility to change the saturation of the images per AS? I don’t want to work with brightness I need a greyscale-image for roleOFF and my normal saturated image for roleOVER.
2. What else…do you know how to avoid the flash security settings by linking to an external website from images.xml?
Hopefully,
Jancla

I liked what I saw, then I buyed the component. But now I’m amazed and disapointed that there’s always a white background in transparent png or gif reflections, wich make it pretty useless as a menu.
I thought I was wrong or missing something, but now that I’ve checked carefully your icon.xml example I realize that the frame is in the example too, just disguised by the white background.
Do you plan to fix this?
Thank you

I downloaded the free version and tested it first. It works great.
I then bought the commercial version of the component and downloaded it. I noticed that you made a change in how the center logo is called – you have a new xml tag called ‘centered_photo’ instead of the parameter in the ‘carousel’ tag. I was able to set the logo just fine, but I also noticed a new parameter in the ‘centered_photo’ tag for ‘url’. I assume this is a link to open when the center logo is clicked? I set the url and then tried clicking the logo but nothing happens. I also tried the sample included with the download, and it did not work either. What’s the trick to getting the logo url working? Also, will the link open a new window, or replace the existing page? Or better yet, can you provide another parameter for setting the ‘target’?
Thanks – the component works great, but getting the new ‘url’ parameter working would make it even better.

Hello snowcat,
I need to adapt the cornerradius of the frame. Cannot find such a property in the component (only in tooltip)- could you arrange that?

Dont forget about my sideways logo issue. I REALLY need some help. Thank you

Hey Snowcat. I purchased your “all files” package (commercial version). Great stuff. One question for you
On the 3D carousel, I want to disable the zooming of the items with the mousewheel. We’re using the carousel as part of a much larger flash element, and its making page scrolling a real problem for visitors.
How could I disable this functionality?
Thanks

Hi guys, almost everything you asked for has a fix, but please allow me just a few more days to make it up to you. I had some personal problems which kept me away from the PC for a while. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi There,
I just bought the 1st Special Package but for my immediate need I just need to use the free 3D carousel xml version but without the logo in the upper left. The version with the external settings.xml file was not included with the commercial download. How can I remove the flashXMLnet logo from the upper left?
Thanks,
Mark

is there a way to start the carousel still so that the user can only rotate it with the buttons?
# / posted on Apr 05, 2009

I am thinking of purchasing also. I will also only need it to move only when the button is pushed.
Is there a way to embed the images instead of using XML. I really only need to add 5 images and would rather just put them in the fla file.
Thanks.
# / posted on Apr 06, 2009 -
Hi, I had fixed all your requests, please re-download the commercial archive.
digitart, the reflection background is fixed
roy1, now you have an url attribute, and a target attribute in the XML file for the centered image
Jancla, I added the “frameRadius” property in settings.xml file
stitch, the logo rotation issue is fixed
bpaulette, I added a new property in settings.xml file, useMouseWheel, set it to false
mtorrance, this version of the Carousel, 3.0, is not included in my “1st Special Package”, but in “All Files Package”
monckeychicken, crittle1, to rotate the Carousel using only buttons, you’ll have to set rotateOnRollOver property in settings.xml file to “buttons”, and maybe set onRollOutSpeed to “0”

Hi we really love this carousel, but is there a way to remove the ‘about 3D carousel menu’ when right clicked? We bought the commercial version so we hoped this was removed after buying this versoin. Thanks in advance!
