Hi,
The solution is to replace the entire code inside the onEnterFrame = function() { from line 105 with xpos = 0;
Hi im wanting to replace some of the images in the XML gallery with .swf files how would i go about this? Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thanks

I bought the full package earlier today and I am having problem using this component. I cannot get it to allow other layers to show on top (front) even if I set z-index and wmode.
What must I do to accomplish this?
Also, can I call a JS script instead of a URL??? Have not tried it but figure I ask.
Thanks,
I just confirmed
1) It does call JS functions
2) The movie does shows behind layer in IE, not FF
One more question:
How can I change the color for the box where the caption is shown?
I have set both bgcolor arguments to #006600 but the block where caption is shown still shows charcole like, not green.
Thanks!
OK – I just figured out that FF needs to have wmode set within the <embed> tag and IE as a <param …>. Having added wmode=“transparent” within the <embed …> tag, FF now shows the movie behind my other layer.
I will be very happy if you could help me with the caption box question …
Thanks!
fpgroups, I’m not sure what color you want to change exactly, but to modify the caption you’ll have to edit the FLA file and change the properties of the dynamic text inside the ‘description_text’ from the Library (Ctrl+L)
Hi
I purchased your package and am having trouble integrating this scroller in to my flash site. I need it displayed in a small portion of a flash movie but it is bugging out. Can i send you the fla to explain.
My email is reactivesolutions@gmail.com if possible pls email me back asap
thanks
ilanchico, unfortunately I cannot help you with particular customizations. I have provided basic instructions on how to use and modify my files at this address
Hi Snowcat,
Love the scroller and I think it will work quite nicely on my page. Here is a TEST page of it: http://signedpage.com/test/index.html
As you can see, the book covers are just dark enough fade into the black background I want. Not good. I’d like to put a gradient running downward from black to a gray to black again to help the covers stand out, but I can’t figure out how to add such a gradient with Flash.
Any ideas? I obviously know how to change solid covers, as I changed your original background to black. But the gradient is beyond me, I am afraid.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
That is in fact pretty simple. Just draw a rectangle on the stage with the Rectangle Tool® (there is already a rectangle drawn on the stage in the FLA file from the commercial archive), then select it with the Selection Tool (V), then go to Color panel (Shift+F9) and select Linear or Radial for type and use your own colors.
not sure if this was covered somewhere else, but i need to change the color of the info text to black or something dark
also while i have your attention … is there any way to have it scrolling when it loads or does it have to be moused over before it starts moving?
Hi, you’ll have do double-click the “description_text” symbol in the Library (Ctrl+L), select the empty text field on the Stage, and then go to Properties window (Ctrl+F3). In there you will find all the properties of the text, including color.
The second request cannot yet be accomplished, as the specified functionality is not yet implemented. I’m working on a new Image Scroller with many other options, to which you’ll have the possibility to upgrade.
Hi Snowcat. I’ve just purchased your great script and it all works fine when it’s standalone, but I am trying to incorporate it into an SWF using loadMovie function and of course, the entire set of images appears because the movie clip is set to the stage width of the parent. Tried masking the MC holder clip but then the scrolling doesn’t work. Any ideas please?
i just bought image scroller xml…... how do i put a graphic on another layer on top of the thumnail images? Why isnt the graphic on the layer on top showing up? need help asap.
tHANKS,

Does this component come with any documentation? I just bought it and there is not even a “read me” file.
adangio,
Try to put all the items of the component into a movieclip and after that put it on the stage.
dj_ndub,
Put all the items of the component into a movieclip.
And then load it into a layer with a lower depth.
skoosha,
You find more informations at this article
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to have it scroll automatically on page load? currently there must be user interaction in order for the it to scroll.
To make it scroll automatically it would need a lot of modifications of the AS2 code which is found in the main FLA.
But I want to say that in 2-3 days we’ll realease a fresh new version of Image Scroller (created with AS3), more exactly a FX version which comes with a lot of customizable properties and new features.
Thanks for your reply to the auto scroll issue. You’d mentioned you’d be coming out with a new version in 2-3 days, will this be a new product or an upgrade… given the fact I just bought this a few days ago, would I be able to exchange it for the newer version or do I need to purchase it again?
It will be an update. We will take in consideration the fact that you bought the Image Scroller XML, so if you decide to buy the new Image Scroller that we’ll release all you’ll have to pay is the update price.
Also I want to mention that you can achieve the automatic scroll effect with Dock Menu FX.
For example if you go to this link and choose images2.xml from properties and set the value of autoScroll to true you’ll see that you have this effect.
So you decide if you want to pay the difference for the update that will come for Image Scroller or buy the Dock Menu FX.
I tried what was recommended to lay a graphic over the scroller but it isn’t working. It shows for a second before the photos load then is covered. Help please.
Create a new Symbol (Ctrl + F8). At the name write for example “imgScroller”. Make sure that the type is Movie Clip. If not chose it from the drop down list.
Next create a second layer. The first layer would be the one you use to put something that will appear above the scroller.
In the second layer select the first frame and drag&drop the MovieClip you created it (“imgGall”). Then give it an instance name for example “scroller”.
After that press F9 and write the follwing line of code.
loadMovie(“image scroller xml.swf”, scroller);
Thank you for sharing. I noticed your sample has large images how do I maintain the size of the images? At the moment the become reduced.
What will be the upgrade price for the new Image Scroller? please advise once its out and I’ll take a look thanks.
The price for the new Image Scroller would be $12. So if you are interested to buy it you’ll need to pay the upgrade price (difference price – in other words $7).
Please allow us a few days to make some adjuments in order to make sure that everything works.
We’ll send you an mail once it’s published.
