   Hi FlashOtaku,

   I’m still a newbie to action script and this is a great component.
   Can I use the hand cursor on both slideshow for slides which have the urlPath set and the thumbnail scroller?
   And also how to make auto-plying slideshow with timer, and also allow user to click thumbnail scroller. Only the selected thumbnail border is visible while all the other thumbnail borders are invisible, and also highlight the current thumbnail in slideshow auto playing mode, like what you did in the example in gallery_ex6_as3.zip?
   However, can all these be done in action script 2?

   Sorry for asking so many question.

   Thanks

   Try this code:

   var slideInitObj:Object = new Object();
slideInitObj.onSlideInit = function(event:Object)
{
if (urlPathArray[event.target.id]!=undefined)
{
event.target.useHandCursor = true;
}
else
{
event.target.useHandCursor = false;
}
}
mySlideshow.addEventListener(”onSlideInit”, slideInitObj);

   Yes, seems like the above code didn’t work.

   Here’s an example that works: http://flashotaku.com/files/gallery_ex8_as2.zip

   I’ve just added the cursor thing to the gallery_ex6_as2.

    Hi again,

    When i uploaded online, using the publish html file, my image can’t open in new window.
    Instead it opened in the same window and i need to click the back button in order to return to the prev swf.

    Is there any code i can add to let my images inside the slideshow to open in new windows when using the publish html file.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Set the second parameter of the getURL function to “_blank”.

    Hi,

    This is wat i type:

    import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

    var pathArray:Array = new Array();
    var xmlFile:XML = new XML();
    var releaseObj:Object = new Object();
    var level = this;
    var pathArray2:Array = new Array();
    var titleArray:Array = new Array();
    var descriptionArray:Array = new Array();
    var slideInitObj:Object = new Object();

    myScroller.addEventListener(”release”, releaseObj);

    releaseObj.release = function(event:Object){
    mySlideshow.loadImage(event.target.id);
    }

    mySlideshow.addEventListener(”release”, releaseObj2);

    releaseObj2.release = function(event:Object){
    getURL(level.pathArray[event.target.id], “_blank”);
    }

    xmlFile.load(”imagesi.xml”);
    xmlFile.ignoreWhite = true;
    xmlFile.onLoad = function(succes:Boolean){
    if(succes){
    for(var i=0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++){
    if(this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.title != undefined){
    level.titleArray.push(this.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.title);
    }

    }
    }
    }
    .
    .
    .
    It still doesn’t open in new window.
    Is there smthg else need to be added?

    Thanks

    That’s strange because even if you don’t set the second parameter, the default is “_blank”, so the page should open in a new window/tab.
    Test the application with different browsers to see if it’s not a browser problem.

    Hi there,

    Nice looking scroller. I’ve been trying to get it to work with no luck :-(

    I know nothing about Actionscript and wanted to get the thumbnails to link to pages on my site PLUS I wanted the thumbnails to have the handcurser when you mouse over them.

    I found this file here: gallery_ex8_as2.zip which has the hand curser. I also found this example: scroller_as2.zip that has the URL linking.

    Is it possible to have an example where both are combined?

    Thanks very much!

    Good work

    Hi,

    The hand cursor can be set in the Component Inspector.
    First you need to download and install the scroller component.
    Then, you should use scroller_as2.zip but replace the component from the stage with an instance of the installed component and in the Component Inspector set the hand cursor property to true. This property was added later, so the scroller version used in scroller_as2.zip, being an older example, doesn’t have this property.
