[Flep]

FlepStudio has created a new free utility CS3/CS4/CS5 Flash and Actionscript 3.0.

It 's a gallery of images and events slideshow rotation.

Loads data from an external XML configuration and has an easy menu of the events to the right.

The menu scrolls vertically, and this Flash script may contain an infinite number of images / events.

Requirements

Flash Player 9.

Included files

• main.fla


• package com/flepstudio


• package caurina


• xml/config.xml


• images folder

Actionscript variables

• Main.as: XML_URL ( If needed change the path or absolute url that points to xml/config.xml file )

XML variables

If necessary, enter the path or absolute URL that points to the images folder (line 2) and set the speed (in seconds) to transition between images.

<slideshow imagesFolder="images" speed="5">

To add an image or event, simply add a node "item":

<item image="pic_0.jpg" link="http://google.com/" target="_parent">PIC 1: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</item>

List attributes of the item node:

• image: the image path or url


• link: link to click the mouse on the image

• value of the node: description picture / event

Installation

1. Open main.fla and com / FlepStudio / Main.as and if necessary change the variable XML_URL with an absolute URL or path pointing to the xml / config.xml file
   


2. re-create main.swf by main.fla
   


3. Upload to web server main.swf, xml / config.xml and the images folder
   

Other customizations

You can customize everything else working in the library of main.fla.

Nice work, but i think there should be a timer reset when you click on a section to the right, because as it is now if you do that just before the (speed) transition timer is done (atm 5 sec), it will go to the one after the one you want to see.

I Can an image to a url?

[zerrantoss]

When I click on the image, it does not link to the URL.

I tried it with the example above in the first post. It doesn't link either.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks!
