Prob w/ photo gallery

1

Hello all

Got a question regarding this tut

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

I did all the stuff…but my question is this:

Do the pics have to be resized to the size of the movie clip or will they auto resize. I am getting a blank screen when I preview. I was just wondering if that was my problem.

Thanks

Make sure the .jpgs are not progressive jpegs. Flash can only load nonprogressive jpegs.

could you explain the diff? I just saved them as jpegs out of photoshop

Click save for web, and youll see an option for progressive jpg.
Uncheck that option.

This is how progressive jpgs work:

When the user enters the page with the progressive jpg on it, the jpg will be very blurry at first. But, after one scan, it becomes sharper. And after another scan, it becomes even more sharp. It continues scanning until the jpg is completely sharp.
But Flash can’t handle this kind of jpgs.

Now you may be wondering, what does he mean with a scan ? Well, such a scan is simply a refresh of the jpg, but it becomes sharper.

Thanks. Your help was awesome, I think I actually need to resize w/ background in PS so that my pics don’t seem to shift all over the screen. But that for another day (too time consuming)

Think you could help me w/ something else? (I know, gimme gimme gimme)

I am working on loading all my pages dynamically. Before I knew I could do this, I created the entire flash doc w/ individual scenes. Each scene obviously contains the nav menu, etc. I then just del all scenes except one, saved as that page, and you know the rest. Now, my mp3 player wont start after I load another page (but that should be fixed after I do the dynamic loading thing as long as I put the action for the mp3 player on the index page right?)

Also, can I just go through all my pages and delete the nav menu and stuff that will appear on every page, and then resave?

Thnks

Now, my mp3 player wont start after I load another page (but that should be fixed after I do the dynamic loading thing as long as I put the action for the mp3 player on the index page right?)

It depends on what the code of your mp3 player is, but in general, an mp3 player on the host swf keeps working. But can you post the code of your mp3 player anyway ? Just to be sure.

Also, can I just go through all my pages and delete the nav menu and stuff that will appear on every page, and then resave?

If you put the nav on the host swf, it will stay there. There is no need to put the nav in the swf’s that are loaded into the host, since you’ll have the nav twice then.

well, since there is not yet a host swf…I haven’t done the dynamic loading thing yet…I can’t see if the mp3 code will work. It works on the index.html page that I uploaded to the server, but once I go to another page…well then no such luck

Right now, I want to get the dynamic loading swf to work. But I was wondering how the best way to do that would be. To take my current fla, delete all the info that the host “page” would contain, then resave, and use that swf as the swf that would get loaded? would that work?

I’m gonna use the technique in this tut…
