Hi! i really enjoyed the tutorial about the XML slideshow! But now i’m curious how you can load al pictures at once with a preloader instead of preloading per image! Here’s my code:
delay = 3000;
// -----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = ;
description = ;
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
/////////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
};
/////////////////////////////////////
//84 & 182 derived from your shape dimensions
maxh = 84-picture._y;
maxw = 182-picture._x;
centerx = 100;
centery = 50;
p = 0;
function myfunction() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
picture._xscale = picture._yscale=100;
//trackerarray.push(clip);
var w = picture._width;
var h = picture._height;
if (picture._width>maxw) {
picture._width = maxw;
picture._height = hmaxw/w;
}
if (picture._height>maxh) {
picture._height = maxh;
picture._width = w*maxh/h;
}
picture._x = centerx-picture._width/2;
picture._y = centery-picture._height/2;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
} else {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
}
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
myfunction();
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
slideshow();
}
}
}
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p–;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
myfunction();
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
myfunction();
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
slideshow();
}
}
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
}
function slideshow() {
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);
function pause_slideshow() {
clearInterval(myInterval);
if (p == (total-1)) {
p = 0;
firstImage();
} else {
nextImage();
}
}
}
thanks in advance everyone!
