Hi all,

I'm currently working on our company website.

I have to add a portfolio to the site.

i've been checking online & found aload of flash slideshows. but they all have too much going on.

All I want is a large window and below it a list of numbers. When you click on the number an image appears in the large box above.

Does anyone have any idea where I could find something like this?

Thanks in advance.

I use flash relief thumb gallery _ you have the option of showing thumbnail images or just numbers and can also position to the left or right of the large image or above or below.

It's very easy to set up and use. you can play around with it here

Hello

What dimensions do you want the movie to be/max photo size?
Do you have an image to show how you want it to look?Font?Color?

I can try and knock something up later.

Hello

The attachment shows a way of doing this using flash + xml -

<photos pname="images/pic1.jpg" />

You add more pictures by adding more photos tags to photolist.xml <photos pname="someFolder/somePicture.jpg" />

The action script is set up to work with any sized stage, but you will need to position the previous/next text boxes because the script uses them to position the numbers. They are postioned 10px from the bottom + side edges. The next text box needs to be in that position because the script needs to know what space is available for the numbers. The next text box will be repositioned in the script.

For the height of your movie, I would have 10px(border) + maxPhoto height + 10px + height of font + 10px.

On line 20( var minSpace:Number = 8;) a value is set, which is the largest space that is allowed between the numbers. Change this alter the number spacing - If you are using a lot of photos, the space between the numbers will automatically get smaller.

You can adjust the font style/size/color by double clicking on numberLink/previous/next in the Library->double click the textbox + adjust it in the properties panel. After any adjustment click on Align vertical centre in the Align panel.

The preloader is just a simple movieClip that is removed when the pictures have loaded. To replace this movieclip with a fancy one - delete the movieclip from the preloader layer -> add the new movieclip + give it the instance name of pre_mc in the properties panel.

Let us know if you need anything changed/explained.

personally i would use css litebox or similar. Then you are not going to run into problems if people do not have flash installed as it is js based if my memory serves me correct

Hi Rob,

Thanks for our expertise!!
as with all these kind of things I have a problem, when I try to put different images into the sldieshow, it works fine for 2/3 images but when I add a fourth all i get is the loader symbol which keeps going round and round without the images everloading in.

The file sizes are all around the 30KB mark.

That sounds like an xml problem - make sure all your images are linked correctly & that there are no entries in the xml to images that don't exist. Also make sure that the photolist tag is closed </photolist> and that the photos tag is closed
<photos />


<photoslist>
<photos pname="images/pic1.jpg" />
</photolist>

In the above case the images folder is in the same folder as your html that the flash movie is embedded in + pic1.jpg is in the images folder.

If you open up the fla in Flash after checking the xml + select Control-> Test Movie. Let me know what errors you get. You can also use Test Movie to simulate a download - at the top of the Flash Player click on View -> Simulate DownLoad. You can also choose Download settings from the View menu.

If your having no luck, you can post or PM me what youv'e got so far.
