Gallery in Adobe Flash AS2.0

Report · Dec 29, 2012

Hello. I decided to do my portfolio in flash (based on that clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn3mDxDqQ1o) and everything went fine until I started doing gallery. I have no idea how to connect html and flash so that it is consistent. The gallery should look something like this http://www.pirolab.it/pirobox_v_1_2/. Summary: Have you any ideas how to do gallery which is one of the 4 tabs with fullscreen image preview (pirobox for example) in the simplest way? I use AS 2.0. Thanks and regards.

Maybe this will help to show what I mean.

what part of that will be flash and what part javascript?

Thumbnails and preview in java, rest in flash, but it doesn't really matter if you have better idea.

PS. Well, I added a wmode transparency to .swf and it works almost as much as wanted, but it must load separate html after clicking "portfolio"

on (release) {

getURL(''gallery.html'');

}

Is there any way to avoid loading separate html? Sorry but I'm totally newbie in scripting.

you can use:

on (release) {
getURL(''gallery.html'',"_self");
}

p.s. please mark helpful/correct responses.

I don't know why but with _self it's the same as getURL(''gallery.html''); Atleast for me...

getURL("gallery.html",'_self');

fstartlse looks like a typo.

It's weird because buttons work fine.

if the rollout and press do what you want, what's the problem?

If I upload all files on FTP then will '_self' work properly?

Report · Dec 30, 2012

yes, it will work properly. whether you're using it properly or not, i can't say and whether you're doing something else that's causing problems, i can't say.

but your comments and the code snippet i've seen indicates, you have problems and don't realize you have problems.
