External image transitions - Part 2

Saturday, 17 March 2007

We received emails with requests to extend the existing files. Some of them wanted a slideshow functionality and progressbar to indicate the loading status. Now I decided to release a second version.

Here are the new features...

Hi there, this stuff is very good! but I have a question,

if I want to go to a specific image from another flash frame, say from an index of all the images, alternatively, how to make an index to the images in the same flash frame. Thank you very much!

Hi pfphoto,

first of all you can download the whole source files above so you don't have to insert the whole source code into a new clip if you don't want to.

If you'd like to paste the code anyway you should add a separate layer and lock it so that you can't add anything (like movie, graphics, ...) into it. I recommend to give it a name like "as" for ActionScript or s.th. similar. Then select the frame of this layer and open the ActionScript-editor and paste the source code.

The second part of this example requires a movie from the library which has to be available at runtime (set this via advanced settings for the movie) and name it for export as "movSmartTile".

Hope this helps!

p.s. did you notice that there is a third part of this article with more features?

OK, no problem at all. Here's your custom solution:

As you can see above the "movSmartTile" contains the following code:

...
this.attachBitmap(_root.getImage(_root.intSourceIndex),0);
...
this.attachBitmap(_root.getImage(_root.intTargetIndex),0);
...

Just change the "_root" to "_root.myMovieName" wherever you put the main code into. This should solve your problem.

Hi again:
thanks a lot. Now it works great.
I must change too this line:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movCache",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
for this:
_root.myClip.createEmptyMovieClip("movCache",_root.myClip.getNextHighestDepth());
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Teo,

just remove the components from the stage and the library and replace them with your custom buttons. You have to add an event handler which requires the following line:

TransRoot(intDirection:Number);

The "intDirection" is used to set the next image. 1 (positive) for the next and -1 (negative) for the previous image.

good work by the way

Hi Neil,

please have a look at the 3rd part of this article
http://www.unic8.com/en/news/labs/external-image-transitions-part-3-2.html
there you can find a solution for displaying random order of the images

Can you clarify how PFPPhoto managed to get this to work inside a movie clip - what lines of code need altered and what alterations are needed?

Thanks.
