Quick Question... Please Help

I want to create a gallery but on one scene, so the user would scroll down, like a web page i guess, so the images are basically on a endless page.. the scene would stop at the end of all the images.. any ideas on how to do this?

Hmmm, you woud have to load images through script so this thing doesnt come to a total hault.

I dont know much but maybe you can write up a script that detects when your original image is leaving the stage or better yet the bottom portion of it is above 0 + stage.stageHeight and at that point you load a new symbol from the library that has the x of your original image + image height.

That was probably no help

Are you trying to have a filmstrip/slot machine type effect where it looks like the images are on a scroll and not just a flick event that hops to the next frame or back to the previous?

thank you for your reply, I'm not a expert in actionscript i have managed to do everything else in the app by myself with advice from forums, i believe i have the knowledge to make a picture gallery with a swipe motion to the left and right, but i want it to go down for some reason. Is there any other way you recommend doing a gallery? im not to fixed on the down motion gallery...

Thanks

Well a really hacky way of doing it would be to have two a two image movie clip, two images stacked on top of each other, like my illustration below.

____

|img1

____

____

img2

____

When loaded you would only see img 1 on the screen, image two is below image 1 out of frame.

Then you added a swipe event and you can add any direction swipe, left, right, up and down, its in the code snippets section.

Limit it only to a an up swipe.

Then when the user swipes up the event is triggered and the movie clip housing the two images is set to play.

The play function plays through a quick timeline that moves image one up and off the screen and moves image 2 onto the stage.

And as your movie clip hits the final frame it tells the stage to go to frame 2 where you have the same thing you just had in frame one but now its image 2 on top of image 3

____

|img2

____

____

img3

You would also have to have a down swipe event which would then play a backwards movie of image two animating back to img 1.

Like I said this is a hacky way of doing it and I hope no real coders yell at me, but its easy and I guarantee it to work.

Let me know if you need me to explain it some more.
