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!
The links for the example & source are not working….
Does such a thing exist? both example and ZIP are broken-links.
Check the links in your example – it’s pointed to localhost
yep, me feel stupid :d
anyway till I get home people can use
http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/gallery.swf?imageFolder=./images&xmlPath=./PHP/getimages.php
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
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
http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/PHP/getimages.php
@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
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.
it’s not possible with AS2 version
that’s why PHP jumps in
AS2 only knows image size when it’s loaded
You can load the images and set alpha to 0
Thanks for good stuf with php..

Thanks for a Flash gallery simple enough for me to understand and alter bits. Going acrzy looking for where to alter the size and colour of the borders around the images though… Can you point me to the right bit? cheers
thanks, its simple and just what i was looking for
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
I will probably do another gallery with few other options but built in AS3…

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!
change width /height of which image?
this gallery automatically takes width and height of image in folder and bring it through XML to Flash …
Excellent information. Finding a few such solutions has taken hours in the past.
Thank u.
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!
Never mind, it’s all solved!
This is really beautiful. Inspiration by the design literally!
Great bit of flash!
Is there away to get the php to order the images by name not date?
Also is there an engligh version of the class.get.files?
Thanks
when i wanted to run gallery .fla file,the value of xml.firstChild.childNodes.length becomes undefined.could you tell me why?
Hi Mr. Steel, I want to say thank you for this turtorial. I would like to use it, but it’s not working for me. “THE IMAGES ARE NOT SHOWING UP” I was reading some up there about the comments from :

“Check the links in your example – it’s pointed to localhost ”
Does it have something to do with my file path? I have the folder on my desktop. Please let me know,I would like to use this galerry.
Thanks in advance
Hello mr.steel!
Thanks for the post, it’s just what I’m looking for to this school project I’m doing. (one part being an autoupdating image bank)
But, I have the same problem as TiLou, I can’t see the images…
I have to say I have no experience with php, so do you have to upload the php file to a server or something?

Hi, this is AMAZING!
I have it working fine although the images overlap. They all vary in size but aren’t very big. What is the deal with numbering the image files? Is there a proper way to do it?
I figured out the overlap.
Just don’t understand the file numbering and how to get the images in a prefered order.
you would need to do sorting of files either inside of flash, or in PHP file getimages.php
or you can submit different xml in flashvars, some XML that you wrote containg same nodes as http://www.hagane.us/as/gallery/PHP/getimages.php
Excellent! Thankyou.
Also, is it hard to add a button that returns it back to the first image? I have alot of images and its tedious clicking back through
I’m really struggling with the order. I have little PHP knowledge, could you make it simpler? If thats possible!
source file is not running for me after rendering swf
output panel shows number like ’300′ but on stage nothing
How can i upload this gallery on my site plz help me….
Very nice. Lovely image galleries, these increase my workflow.
I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name Pussy Hussyfan
