I’m trying to build a Flash gallery that would load a variable amount of images and create a scrolling gallery, with pop-up previews of each image. Essentially, something like this (left/right scrolling arrows, hovering popup preview) but I want it to be AS3 as that’s what I’m focusing on learning. I’m quite new to this and not from a coding background, so pardon my question if it’s redundant but I’ve searched for something non-XML based and couldn’t find it. If someone could explain to me why XML-based dynamic galleries are better then perhaps I could convince my web-developer coworkers, but for now they’ve requested a stand-alone Flash app. We need a generic gallery we can use on various sections of our site.
I really appreciate your help. If the pop-up preview and the dynamic loading are 2 different tutorials, fine by me, I just don’t feel I have the knowledge or resources to pull this off on my own yet.
