XML Image Slideshow

AS 3 OOP Fullscreen Slideshow class extremely easy to use in custom projects. Displays images in fullscreen size with constrained aspect ratio and uses advanced image align. Settings are defined in external XML file, possibility to change various Slideshow parameters to suit your needs. Controlling (pause/resume/exit) slideshow through context menu.

Configuration
Slideshow is a custom AS3 OOP class which makes it extremely easy to use. In order to use this slideshow you'll need to do two things. First, you need to load external xml file in which slideshow configuration and images are stored. Configuration XML file looks like this:





5000
true


true
top
0x000000
5













The settings part defines slideshow properties:

5000
Number of ms between image transitions (5000ms = 5s)

true
If set to true, images will appear in random order each time they are displayed. If set to false images
will appear in order as defined in xml.

The preloader part of xml defines preloader properties, in case you want to display preloader:

true
Defines wheather preloader will be visible in slideshow or not, possible values are "true" or "false".

In case you want to use preloader with following properties you can customize it:

top
Defines preloader position, possible valuse are "top" and "bottom".

0x000000
Defines preloader's progress bar color, value is hex color value.

5
Defines preloader's progress bar height (in pixels).

The bottom part is where you put your slideshow images:



Each "image" tag consists of two attributes:

- url where you specify path to image relative to you slideshow .swf file
- align where you specify "top" or "bottom" depending how you want to align you image. Images are resized
depending on user's screen resolution and image aspect ratio is preserved. Such a resizing can cause smaller region of image to not be visible so this "align" parameter will make it easy for you to specify wheather you always want you image's upper part to be visible and resizing will cause lower part of image to possibly be lost (align="top") or you want to make sure that your bottom part of image is always visible and during resizing small portion of top part of the image could possibly be lost (align="bottom")


Control
You can control (play/pause/exit slideshow) through context menu (right mouse click), also when click on image slideshow removes and dispatch an custom "SlideshowEvent.REMOVE" event.
