this is simple gallery example for AS2
gallery is nothing special, ease to use and implement
interesting thing about this example is that you pass a folder, and PHP side gathers image list from a folder and returns it to the Flash in XML form together with images widths and height which makes it more easier to implement this sort of galleries like I’ve made
so from this example you can see :
- PHP serving XML to Flash
- PHP getting image size (width and height)
- Flash loading XML
- Flash creating elements on stage using library
- loading external images
- and more…
this example is for beginner level
example : http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/
ZIP : http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/gallery.zip
if you have any questions about PHP or Flash side please post it here
EDIT: sorry for wrong links and config. Everything is corrected now and fully functional
thanks people who noted me about errors!

Does such a thing exist? both example and ZIP are broken-links.

Check the links in your example – it’s pointed to localhost

Wow thanks! I’ve been displaying my images in a very similar way but this is a much easier to build and maintain a site. What would the be the simplest way to ad a link to the top of the page? Link on top of my current site.

MrSteel,
I really like this gallery. Unfortunately my server does not have PHP. Can you please help me to provide the XML version only? Can you please give me ahint for the xml file structure for the start?
Thanks a lot
mrsteel // January 10, 2008 at 2:32 pm |
Yes, You can create XML by yourself
and pass xmlPath parameter through flashvars in index.html (as I pass php location)
structure of XML you can see at

mrsteel // January 10, 2008 at 2:36 pm |
@David and all :
yes you’re site could definitly use this gallery
you can add anything you want into the FLA file (logos, contant links …) and recompile it and use it on your site
Beebs // January 10, 2008 at 9:36 pm |
Thanks a lot for repply Mr.Steel. I really appreciate it.
I have further question/request :
With the XML version, How possible to check the width and the height through Actionscript dynamically – so that the width and height property does not need to be listed in the XML file?
Thanks again.
mrsteel // January 11, 2008 at 2:38 am |
it’s not possible with AS2 version
that’s why PHP jumps in
AS2 only knows image size when it’s loaded

I have implemented your flash on my site. Just wonder what other options that I can use. I am looking for options to load the image, starting from the left instead of the center. Also, want to see if there is an option to show file name. Thx

Please, help me.
How I can change the width/height of the image?
I need to do this in a site, but I don’t know AS very well.
If someone explains to me, shows an example too.
Thank you a lot!
mrsteel // June 16, 2009 at 3:22 pm |
change width /height of which image?
this gallery automatically takes width and height of image in folder and bring it through XML to Flash …
Reiki // July 1, 2009 at 5:18 pm |
Excellent information. Finding a few such solutions has taken hours in the past.
Thank u.
Philip // August 7, 2009 at 2:28 am |
Mr Steel, this is awesome! I just have one problem; When i place this inside a movieclip TempMC seem to get the right width and height but it does not load the images. Do you have a solution to this? I would realy appreciate it!
