    Hello Snowcat,
    I need something exactly like this image scroller (not your newdock version 3.0), but I need it to automatically slide all the way to the right and left. Can your image scroller do that?
    Thanks!

    Hi,


    This image scroller doesn’t have an “automatically slide” option. But you could achieve exactly what you need by using Dock Menu XML 3.0 (click on images2.xml and set autoScroll to true)

    Em I think this is the one i bought, can anyone tell me how to get a url link working....as the notes inside are very vague, and I'm no flash expert!

    I place a link in the xml file where it said data="http://www.mysite.com" now is this the correct format if so it's not working... if not how do I get url's to work of this thing????

    Hi, if this is indeed what you bought (although there should be a label indicating that), it would be very simply to make it work. The XML file has no “data” attribute, but a url attribute. You should simply set url=“http://www.mysite.com” for each image.

    Thanks for the great tool… I’m using it to build my website right now
    www.iflick.ca (it’s still in construction).


    I’ve been trying to incorporate a CSS blanket script with this flash image scroller, unsuccessfully.


    I’m trying to use THIS effect when I click on one of the images, but I can’t get the flash file to load anything other than a plain url.


    Any Suggestions?


    Thank you very much,


    Sean

    I see you managed to do it most probably using the instructions from flashxml.net

    Thanks

    Hello Snowcat!! your components are amazing!! I have a question, can I use flash links in each image for my flash project, for example,


    on (release) {
    gotoAndPlay(“scene 1”, 2);
    }


    How can I set that links??, in the mxl file or where??


    Thanks

    Snowcat,
    we bought the image scroller xml (as part of the imagegallery package) and I’m very happy with it all. However, I cannot figure out how to change the text color and font of the description on the scroller. Can you help?
    Thanks

    Hi lfitzmorris,


    In order to change the text color and font of the descriptions, open up the flash file – go to the library and open up the description_text movie clip – click on the dynamic text box and edit font and color.


    Just make sure you don’t change the identifier :)

    facilwebcol, sure you can, find this code

    this.onPress = function() { 
        getURL(urls[i], target); 
 }

    and replace getURL with gotoAndPlay or whathever you like


    Taz123, i don’t see any error on your website, maybe you fixed it meanwhile

    I am having trouble with this also…


    OK, first off, let me state that I don’t know Flash that well, but I’m trying to learn it. I’ve opened this file in Flash CS4 and I don’t see anything in the Component Inspector where I can change variables. Right now, all of my images are squished into a square and I need them to be in a rectangle. My images are a 7:5ratio… and are all the same size. Also, my table is 950 pixels with a solid black background. I’ve changed the bgcolor in the HTML. but the table has a distinct dark grey “box” about 500 pixels wide or so and then drops off sharply to black. I need to know how to fix this also please.


    Thanks.

    Hello Snowcat!!


    Thank you for your answer about target a frame from your component, I did what you said, I changed


    this.onPress = function() { getURL(urls[i], target); }


    to


    this.onPress = function() { gotoAndPlay(“urls[i]”, target);
    }


    But it doesn?t work, I have to change something in the xml file?, please write me an example for a xml line, or tell me how to do that, please help me, Thanks


    Regards
    Charles

    facilwebcol, you didn’t called correctly the gotoAndPlay function.
    You should use it like this:
    gotoAndPlay(Number(urls[i]));
    and in the XML file replace the url attribute with a corresponding frame number from your Flash project.
    This video could be useful understanding how to work with frames, when assigning a different AS action for each frame. (in the video, the dockmenu layer could contain instead the image scroller)


    BlaKKatMedia, this product, Image Scroller, is not a Flash component per se (as with most of the products on FlashComponents.net)
    You could find this article useful in your attempt.

    Ok. I bought this file. Now I’m trying to embed this into my current website. There is something I must be doing wrong. My site in HTML. What are the steps to include this in one of my tables?

    timrig, there are several ways to do that, one way would be using FlashVars
    But a simple solution for you would be to create different images.xml file (images1.xml, images2.xml, images3.xml and so on) and in the “image scroller.fla” file, instead of this row:

    xml.load("images.xml");

    use this code:
    xml.load("images" Math.ceil(Math.random()*10) ".xml");


    twoei22, are you trying to duplicate the AS code for two MC? what about embedding two different SWFs (representing two different Image Scrollers) in your HTML page? The first attempt would be a little tricky. Send me a private message if you still didn’t manage.

    I want to change the width of the scroller!
    How can I do that? What I have to change?

    mwwods, I didn’t understand exactly what you want to achieve, I re-uploaded the commercial archive with demo2 included if that’s what you needed (please re-download). Basically each demo is achieved by modifying the variables at the beginning of the code of the same FLA file.


    Andreas, you can change the size of the images through imageW and imageH variables, which you will find at the beginning of the code in the FLA file. If you’re not able to find the code please read this article


    aldorado, you can change the total width of the scroller by editing the FLA file and pressing Ctrl J


    I’m sorry for not being able to reply sooner.

    Hello snowcat,


    I am planning to use your script in horizontal mode. But i want to have the images to scroll only when the mouse position is on the outer reaches of the stage. E.g. when the mouse enters the frame from centerbottom or centertop of the frame there is should be no scrolling. Can you help me out on doing this? Thanks.

    bloom, I understand what you mean, but this scroller wasn’t designed to work that way, but to scroll relatively to the mouse position all the time.
    What you’re asking for needs to have the movement algorithm re-written.

    Hi, you might want to edit the “description_text” symbol from the Library and increase the height of the text field.
