Hello All
I have been working on the XML slide show with cross fading with links on each picture for about a week. I need to put the button’s for Next or Previous Image on top of the fading in images. I have an idea to make the process of auto fading pause on rollover with a clear button and display the next/prev button’s themselves but when i try the button’s just stay behind the images coming in :(. any suggestions on how to better do this would be awsome. I’m a neewbie to actionscripting but I’m very excited to learn more. here is the code i have been using.
var id, current;
var k = 0, p = 0;
var slide = 1;
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
link = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
link* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
id = setInterval(preloadPic, 100);
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images_links.xml”);
function preloadPic() {
clearInterval(id);
var con = picture.duplicateMovieClip(“con”+k, 9984+k);
con.loadMovie(image[p]);
preloader._visible = true;
con._alpha = 0;
var temp = _root.createEmptyMovieClip(“temp”+k, 99+k);
k++;
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
var total = con.getBytesTotal();
var loaded = con.getBytesLoaded();
percent = Math.round(loaded/total*100);
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = percent;
if (con._width) {
preloader._visible = false;
con.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
if (slide) {
id = setInterval(nextImage, 7500);
}
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this._alpha<100) {
current._alpha -= 2;
this._alpha += 2;
} else {
current._visible = 0;
current = this;
this.onRelease = function() {
getURL(link[p], “_blank”);
};
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
picture.onRelease = function() {
getURL(link[p], “_blank”);
};
};
function nextImage() {
p<total-1 ? p++ : p=0;
preloadPic();
}
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
}
preloadPic();
