The AS2 and AS3 version are the same functionality, the only difference is the ActionScript version used and the Flash version, check the technical details.

Thanks again for the quick response. I added two lines of code and added a height and variable to the XML file. All photos are now dynamically sized.

Hi , I was trying to make the Description appear always not only on roll over! any useful ideas on how to do so? and one more question, How to decrease the Thickness of the Thumbnail white Border?
Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,
The always show description feature is not included in this product version. If you want to modify the file yourself to have the description always displayed you need to:
1) edit the buttonsScrollingMenu clip and go to initAutoPlayEngine() and comment both mageBox[“p0”].contentDescriptionBox._alpha = 0; lines at the bottom
2) look also for initContent(mc) method and comment the first two lines
3) edit the bigImageBox clip / go to the ReadMe layer and look for addRollOverHandler() and addRollOutHandler() methods and comment the code inside
For border look inside the config.xml file for this line:

I have everything working in the XML Image Gallery but would like to dynamically generate the XML information through a PHP script rather than generate the actual XML file from a PHP script to avoid problems when multiple users display different images.
Looking at your General Tips and Tricks tutorial, I've got question 7 ( FlashVars to specify a different XML) working but am having some issues with question 8 (specify a server side script such as PhP). Do you happen to have a more detailed example of this or perhaps a better example of what one of the true variable names sent from the html file (?var=var1) and what the PHP script file output should look like?
Thanks . . .

Hi,
The output need to be a correctly formatted xml string ( you can test this by calling your script in a browser ) having the same tags and attributes as within the xml configuration file.

OK, thanks. I've got the PHP output to look identical to the XML file. Now when I run the html file, the swf file shows up but not yet properly populated. When I define the FlashVars in HTML where I specify my PHP file, would it look like: xmlfile=myphpfile.php?useAutoPlay=useAutoPlay%26autoPlayDelay=autoPlayDelay etc?

Hi,
Use absolute paths instead relative and is not necessary to use those query string variables unless you have other particular variables you want to use in your script, basically the script call looks like this:
xmlfile=http://www.yourdomain.com/yourscript.php

That worked. Thanks again for your help!

One more question: Currently all images are downloaded prior to the first image being displayed. This can be very time consuming for many images. It looks like all images are downloaded in parallel rather than individually. The first image is not displayed until all bytes of all images have been downloaded. Any way to download images in full one at a time and then display the first image after enough images have been downloaded to fill the initial thumbnails displayed and download the remaining images in the background?

Hi FT and thanks again for the great gallery and support.
I’ve added a circle animation to the pause button to “tell” users that autoplay is resuming as otherwise, after they click the play button to resume the slideshow, nothing appears to happen. This works okay but I’d rather call the “next” button code from the play button (as well as its resume function) as this would be preferable to the above solution. Would this be possible?
Anyway, have also changed the button graphics and demoed the gallery here (this won’t be it’s final URL):
http://www.lubbdupp.com/ctl/gallery/gallery.html
However, despite everything working perfectly locally, the link above never manages to load all the images and thumbs. I’ve optimised all the images as much as is reasonable and have a 20Mbit connection so shouldn’t be a bandwidth issue. Any ideas much appreciated as unless the images show up this is a bit of a showstopper from my client’s perspective.
Thanks again.

@yboe:
This product version works that way. If you want that functionality and much more you can purchase the Advanced Gallery XML ( you have the link in the product description ).

@paul.gilbert:
Everything is possible but you need to edit the .fla file in Flash and make some custom changes to the buttons code to fit that play / next button functionality.
You can do so by editing the buttonScrollingMenu clip / ReadMe layer and look for the buttons code.
Check also question 12 from the tips & tricks area.
Also you can upgrade to a more advanced and more features product version -> Advanced Image Gallery for $9 by going to Buy Now area of the product page you’ll see the upgrade option.
Best regards,

OK, thank you. I looked at the Advanced Image Gallery and while it is nice, it does not appear to be browser friendly. At times, no images are displayed and all that is seen is a white window. When using the Google browser, after clearing the cache and restarting the program things work OK but if you cycle through the images quicker than the display, only blank images appear. Also, it appears that the advanced version does not do any pre-loading of the images at all. The pre-loader appears for each image while cycling through the gallery initially and then appears for a shorter duration during the next round because they’ve been cached previously.

The AS3 version appears to work fine with no blank images. Appears to have the same pre-load issue. Can I upgrade to the Advanced Image Gallery 3,0 from 2.0 for $9.00?

@yboe:
It works just fine with Mozilla and IE, don’t know what to say about google browser since I’m not using this but generally this is a Flash Player issue in that browser and not the application itself ( so you can check first if you have the latest Flash Player update for that specific browser installed ).
The upgrade price can be set only for the same actionscript version ( so if you purchased for example the normal as3 version gallery you can update to advanced as3 gallery ) or you can send the price difference directly to paypal [at] flashtuning.net and send us an email at contact [at] flashtuning.net after the payment is done an we’ll send you a download link to the as3 version.
Best regards,

Aha! I traced the loading problem to the fact that the client had supplied the images, which had been taken on two different cameras and one of them had generated files with .jpg extensions while the other had used .JPG so the xml was looking for all lower case and only finding half of them!
All loading fine now so thanks again.

Hi, great component. I’m looking for a XML gallery with scrolling thumbs just as this.
One question though – is the gallery easily incorporated in other .fla’s?
Simple may be as drag and drop or is extensive flash knowledge required?
