Forums: Flash:

Well crap! I was about to post an XML/Flash-based gallery question but I guess I don't need to.

However, the source FLA appears to be offline now. Anyone?

xdud,

pm me, i've got that

Hi craftymind,
love the code, everything looks fine, I just have couple of questions:
1) what are checking with:
if (this.t == 7)

and
if (this.t == 6) {
?

2) I've been trying to have a next and previous button, where previous should reverse the stack, it works if I duplicate the coe for cover and change
this.swapDepths(depth--);
to
this.swapDepths(depth++);
however it doesn't work smoothly as it waits for the stack to dinish and only then, with a bit of confusion, start reverting the order,
any suggestions? have you tried that before?

Any ideas why the source code will only work when exported to flash player 6???

welcome to the barrel. I found an fla on the first page and had a v.quick look at the code, is that the source you refer to?

The movieclip loading is a bit of a work round hack but may still work, and may even work better than the Movie clip loader, but if your in AS3 I think the loading approach is really much cleaner I can sort out an example if you need.

I found a reference to Math.easeOutQuad, I did not spot where easeOutQuad was defined I prob missed an include of penner equations or something, but if you go to robertpenner.com you will find that early tween equations may have been placed on the Math class but now that is illegal in flash so you have to create your own object to place them on ie MyMath={} and then define the functions on thier or have them as standalone functions. So at first glance it looks like Math abuse is the cause

I've been trying to get this to work with files in subdirectories and was driving myself insane. To avert that for all you future users of this, here is my revised gallery.php code.

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0"?'.'>';

$filepath = "path_to_directory";

$handle = opendir($filepath);
while (false != ($file = readdir($handle))) {	 
	$pic = @getimagesize($filepath."/".$file);
	if($pic != false && $pic[2] == 2){
		$xml .= '<img src="'.$filepath.'/'.$file.'" width="'.$pic[0].'" height="'.$pic[1].'" />';
	} 
}

echo $xml;
closedir($handle);

?>

champion mate, That's a handy piece of code !

Question, I'm not an expert and I'm using swish to develop my site.

Anyone know how do you load or embed this into Swish?

loadMovie but I expect you will need to flare the current swf and rewrite the actionscript as swishscript. Alternatively here are some links that relate to swish that might help.

And code that may or may not need work, the php is from here or adapted from 12stone.

<?php
   
   $filename=$_POST['myPath'];
   if(substr($filename,-4)==".txt"){
       //only allow writing to text files
       $str=$_POST['content'];
       $fp=fopen($filename,"w");
       if(!$fp) die("status=cannot open  ".$filename );
       $fw = fwrite($fp, $str);
       fclose($fp);
       if ($fw)
       {
           echo "status=success";
       }
       else
       {
           echo "status=failure to write to ".$filename." ".$str;
       }    
       
   } else {
   
       echo "status=Sorry you can only write 'txt' files";
       
   }    
?>

function update(name){
    l = new LoadVars();
    l.myPath = "/"+dir.path+name;
 
 l.content=  updateView_txt.text;
    l.onLoad = function(ok){
         if(ok){
              if(this.status == "success"){
                  updateView_txt.text="Data written to text file";
              }else{
                   updateView_txt.text=this.status;
              }
         }
    }
    l.sendAndLoad("/myphpwritescript.php", l, "POST")
}

holy crap, 4 years old and still alive
I think its time I published the as3 version of this gallery that I'm using in eBay Desktop

I have to admit having a bit of fun with it over the years - modding it, hacking it to try various other things and would like to take the opportunity to say thanks for firstly posting it originally, and secondly for keeping it hosted. I have upgraded 'puters over time and somewhere along the way lost the files so it was always good to re-download them.
You're a champion crafty, and it's also good to see you back again!

Good to see you back here crafty

Hi,

Tried to get the stack working, but I can't manage it. When I add new images, only the default one are displayed. How to add more images to the stack?

hello!
is it possible to attach a navigation like this:

var tl = this;
var clicked;

for (var i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
	this["mc" + i].onRollOver = function () {
		if (this != tl.clicked) {
			this.gotoAndPlay ("s1");
		}
	};
	this["mc" + i].onRollOut = this["mc" + i].onReleaseOutside = function () {
		if (this != tl.clicked) {
			this.gotoAndPlay ("s2");
		}
	};
	this["mc" + i].onRelease = function () {
		if (this != tl.clicked) {
			this.myNum = this._name.substr(2);
			_root.content.gotoAndPlay("page" + this.myNum); //attached movieclip
			this.gotoAndStop (20);
			tl.clicked.gotoAndPlay("s2");
			tl.clicked.useHandCursor = true;
			tl.clicked = this;
			this.useHandCursor = false;
		}
	};
}

how is it possible to create a thumbnail view like on Andrew Berg's homepage: andrewberg.com/photobrowser/

can anybody help me?

I am trying to make separate photostacks on separate pages, but only works when the swfs are in the root directory. I made separate xml files and php files for each of the catagories in subdirectories, but it only works when the photos are in the root folder.

this is what I have:
home.html
gallery1.html, gallery1.swf, gallery1.php, gallery2.xml, and the gallery1.jpgs....
gallery2.html, gallery2.swf, gallery2.php, gallery2.xml, and the gallery2.jpgs....
gallery3.html, gallery3.swf, gallery3.php, gallery3.xml, and the gallery3.jpgs....

I was hoping it would work if I put them in separate ( /gallery1) directories and have the php find the sub-d

Is it possible to do this or should I find another photostack that will do this?

I am a little slow huh,... the php code I needed was a few posts right above mine.

So thanks to Tha.Riddla. you have saved me hours of headaches due to my inability to code or understand php.

thanks again!!!

Hi Craftymind. Im new here, but i have downloaded the "flash gallery" that you have here, and i cant use it correctly. I open the ".fla" and run it, but the gallery appears on the corner, with all photos centered on the top left corner. WHY? How i can use into another .fla?

I need some help. Please.

Thanks a lot.

Hello, this setup works very well but I'm a video guy and I'd like to add some flv files to the mix. Ideally, photos and videos would be great! I've got little to no idea what to do but I believe it has something to do with the gallery.php code. In theory I would believe an if else statement would need to be made to load a player so that when the file comes up in the stack, it would be able to play.

Though, I may just be taking sh--t.

Sorry for resurrecting of an old thread.

Hi! I'm trying to include the gallery in a custom php file. It's work into dreamweaver activating the Live Data but doesn't work when I upload it into my server. Anyone?
Thanks!
