Picture or object gallery
Author: Ricardo Espirtio Santo
Steps to create a good Photo Gallery in flash
The idea is to create a web gallery that can load and show pictures. This is not a beginner’s tutorial so I shall assume that you know how to create buttons and all of the other basic stuff. I will not tell you where to create your image loaders or stuff like that because I want you to come up with something of your own instead of a copy of my work with different colours.
- Kiss (keep it simple and stupid)
It is advisable to have a shot timeline and use the flash ability to create objects inside other objects inside other object and so on. But bare in mind that it is good to group objects and others that are related.
- Create the arrays
It is advisable to create arrays for pictures or objects being loaded. So depending on how many you are going to use come up with the number of arrays that you will be using.
- Create an empty movie clip and specify where on stage will it be loaded.
By doing this you will be assigning some “space” for the pictures to load into. And If they eventually show up where will that be.
_root.createEmptyMovieClip
("name of the empty movie clip",1)
name of the empty movie clip._x=
name of the empty movie clip._y=
After the equal sign specify by coordinates where do you want it ( info window could became in a hand while doing this)
