hi,
i have this gallery and its pulling from an xml file with this setup
<config>
<galleries>
<folder name="details ">
<gallery name="something " bydefault="true">
<img src="anne10blur.jpg" width="576" height="384" infotext="whatever this image is" infotext="Some photo" />
</gallery></folder></galleries></config
on the _root i have a movieclip for the caption itself, first frame of that movieclip has this
//tf.background = true;
//tf.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
var showthreadid = 0;
function showthread(){
_x += Math.round((_root._xmouse - _x + 10)*0.3);
_y += Math.round((_root._ymouse + 20 - _y)*0.3);
}
function _show(_text){
if(_text==undefined or _text==null or _text==""){
_text = "[No information about this picture has been provided]";
}
this._x = _root._xmouse;
this._y = _root._ymouse;
tf.text = "";
tf._width = 1;
tf._height = 100;
tf.text = _text;
tf._x = 5;
tf._width = Math.min(tf.textWidth + 10, 180);
tf._height = tf.textHeight + 5;
back._x = 0;
back._y = 0;
back._width = tf._width + tf._x;
back._height = tf._height + tf._y;
if(showthreadid==0){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha += 15;
if(this._alpha >= 100){
this._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
}
showthreadid = setInterval(showthread, 20);
}
}
function _hide(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha -= 10;
if(this._alpha <= 0){
this._alpha = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
}
clearInterval(showthreadid);
showthreadid = 0;
}
function _hide2(){
}
this._alpha = 0;
_hide();
stop();
now Im trying to get it so that when the viewer hovers their mouse over the image it shows that caption movie clip. my movie is set up like:
on the root is the caption movieclip and then another movieclip called siteblock for the rest of the movie. inside the siteblock i have basically everything to run the gallery, thumbsmovieclip, imageholder, menu, and so on.
within the imageholder movieclip I put this on the first frame:
this.onRollOver = function(){
_root.hintmov._show(_root.siteblock.thumbsmov._infotext);
}
this.onRollOut = function(){
_root.hintmov._hide();
}
i’m kind of reappropriating this script from another flash file i found. instead of _root.siteblock.thumbsmov they had this._parent.infotext.
that aside. so im trying to have the imagemovie show the hintmovie(hintmovie = caption movieclip). inside the thumbsmov I had inserted this script in with the other scripts loading the xml file:
itemmov._infotext = curnode.attributes.infotext;
so it looks like this
if (curnode.nodeName == "img") {
srcthumb.duplicateMovieClip("item"+count, count);
itemmov = eval("me.item"+count);
itemmov.w = curnode.attributes.width;
itemmov.h = curnode.attributes.height;
itemmov._caption = curnode.attributes.caption;
itemmov._infotext = curnode.attributes.infotext;
itemmov.me = itemmov;
itemmov.onPress = function() {
this.goahead1 = function() {
// trace("goahead1() : " + me);
_parent.resizeto(this.w, this.h, this);
_parent.tfscroller._hide();
};
this.goahead2 = function() {
// trace("goahead2() : " + _parent.imageholder);
// trace(this + " " + this._caption);
this._parent.setphotocaption(this._caption);
_parent.imageholder.loadimage("images/"+this.src);
};
this._parent._parent.imageholder.removeimage(this);
};
now with all that done. the caption movieclip plays when you put your mouse over the image, but I get the error text, that no information is provided. I’m not sure if this has to do with the code applied to the imageholder itself or what. maybe its just a linking issue. If this makes any sense to anyone. I would appreciate any input. I can post the fla file if needed. I know this probably isnt enough to go off of, but I’ve everything and im stumped.
