Hi I will add tonight the option to add the path to the xml file in the embed code.
Write to me at [email protected] so that I know where to send it once is done.
New feature added.
In the HTML embed code you can pass the path to the configurable XML file and this way you can have multiple instances of the gallery with a single .swf file, there is an example and basic documentation in the download sources.
It works, thank you !
For this to work you must change the permissions (CHMOD) file index.swf to 664
Hello –
Excellent component!
I was wondering if it was possible to make the main image clickable – like an image map- to direct to another page.
Thanks,
Vincent
This can be done only if the code is changed but is not a simple thing to add because the pattern for this components was already made.
Hello –
I am having trouble increasing the thumbs size.
Is this correct:
In the ThumbsController.as change the
private var _thumbW:Number=50;//thumb widht
private var _thumbH:Number=50;//thumb height
to the new size?
Yes it is but you will have to increase the size of the MovieClip that is holding the loaded image also, is not enough to change just that.
Hello,
Thank you very much for this awesome gallery!
I’m using it on my new website and it works really well!
I have 1 question however! I am pretty crap at flash and all things flash related… I cant work out how to change the time it takes for the thumbnails and info to disappear after you roll off the staging area (It only takes up a small part of my site).
I’d like to set it up so that the thumbnails and text drop away after more like 1 second, instead of the standard 3 or so seconds.
Any help you can give me here would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
wook
Open images.xml file and you will see this tag at line 9
This means that the thumbs and description will hide after 5 seconds, increase the number of seconds like this.
Now the thumbs and description will hide after 10 seconds.
Make sure you save the xml file after you make the changes.
Thanks for the quick response!
I’ve changed this to 1 but it does not seem to affect the time that it takes for the thumbnails to disappear. It only seems to relate to how long each image displays when playing the slideshow…
Hello again!
I found what I was after in the thumbscontroller.as file. I think it was line #468 (It was right near the bottom). If anyone else needs to alter the time it takes for the controls to go away, change the value of “5000”. I wanted 1 second, so I changed it to “1000”.
Hope this can help someone else in future!
:)
Its me once again!
I am wondering how hard it is to remove the fullscreen button? I don’t really have a use for it, and its actually not working for me. So in the interests of keeping things clean, I think I’d like to remove it!
Is this at all possible? If its too much work I will look in to making the button function instead
Also, I am trying to change the border colours for the thumbnails, but that small triangle (“playArrow”), is proving to be quite the pain! I want to make it the same colour as the thumbnails border, but when I do, it also changes the colour of the arrow on the buttons (which looks terrible in this instance!). I’ve also tried removing it but then the entire thumbnail section stops working!
If you can help me out at all with these problems it would be excellent!
Sorry for being a difficult customer!
Hello –
Thanks for being so attentive to al the requests of your excellent component.
Perfect support.
I have one last question:
How do I change the large image so it doesn’t display behind the thumb controller?
I would like the image to be viewed in full, and the text box and thumbs above and below.
Which symbol do I alter?
Thanks!
Hi, I guess I am a real newbie here, but how do I go about putting my images into the slideshow? Can I import to library in Flash or put the files into the folder that the original images are in now? I have made slideshows in Flash before, but I think this goes a bit over my head, any help would be very appreciated!
Thank you!
This gallery uses a xml file to load the images. Is not necessary to have the images in the original folder but if you have difficulties setting it up is best to leave it there.
So add all your images in the original folders then open the “load/images.xml”, in there you can add the images paths, take a careful look at the xml file once you opened it is really easy to understand, also read the help.txt to see what each tags mean.
Hello –
Is it possible to rsize the large image so the description field and thumbs do not cover the image?
Please reply.
Thanks.
Error: PLEASE CHECK YOUR PATH FOR THE THUMB IMAGE AT POSITION: [object MovieClip] at MethodInfo-182()
I get this error evertime I load it. Sometimes it works when I click continue and sometimes it doesn’t.
any ideas?
Yes.
That error is triggered when the path for your images is not found, this means that it can’t find the image, you have some problems in the xml file.
Note that the server is case sensitive so MyImage.jpg is not the same with myimage.jpg , this will work if you will test it local on your computer but not on the server the images names in the xml file need to be identical with the actual image names including character case.
Also make sure that you are not using spaces or special characters in you images names.
I just figured out that it had spaces. Thanks for the quick response!
New update! The gallery can be loaded in flash… Example included.
Those who already bought this and need this features download again the .zip file.
hi i am really Confused whick to select from these galleries and templates each one have something greater than other ( slide show – categories – info )
but i did not see a teblate that allow u to show any category as slid show right?
about this one when u click the play to play the slide show it will work fine but if u click the right arrow to scroll the thumb images the slide show will pause and the slide show button still working
by the way it will be great if there is a timer for the slide show like what u did here in the loading bar at the top
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component/landing_xml_resizable_gallery.html
All my templates will have a slide show button soon but I don’t have time for that now and is not an easy thing to code after all is done.
Hi,
I posted this question in the wrong forum I guess, so reposting it here.
I just purchased this component and I have a few questions:
1. I am not able to make the embedded swf run fullscreen. What do i need to do for that? (Running in Google Chrome)
2. How can I make the slideshow run automatically on load.
3. After I click any of the thumbnail, the slideshow stops. Is there any code which I can change so that the slideshow is always running (like the Flickr gallery).
Thanks and Regards
I have no idea how to embed stuff in chrome I never used it but this is a normal swf file so if you google it I’m sure you will find out what is missing.
About the slide show I have a version that runs automatically , write to me at [email protected] and I will send it to you.
For the thumbs stuff I will fix it at the next update …
Hi,
I already resolved the first two issues.
The third one still remain:
- On clicking any thumbnail, the slideshow stops.
The behaviour I would expect is, If the slideshow is in Play State, clicking any thumbnail will still keep the slideshow in play state.
If the slideshow is in Pause State, it will stay in Pause state always.
If you can point me to the right code, I can try to make the changes myself.
Thanks again.
