X3Photo Gallery Forums

First off, nice work with your amazing Flash gallery! I really love it!

I've spent lots of time reading topics about it and testing its functionality, and now I can definitely say your work is simply amazing.

I intend to purchase a licence, but I'm afraid the gallery would prove almost useless for me if I couldn't find a way of embedding the flash file into an existing Flash site. The idea is pretty straight-forward: I need the gallery to get loaded into a blank loader movieclip, while I can still retain my main Flash website interface intact. So, here's my question:

Is it possible for the gallery to get loaded into a movieclip and still keep its functionality? I'm thinking about the MovieClip._lockroot property

Thank you for reading my post.
Cheers,
Dani

Could you please be more specific? I've searched the V2 showcase but I wasn't able to find what I am looking for
I'd like to know for sure whether it's possible or not for the gallery to retain its full functionality while being loaded into another swf. It's very important to me, so please let me know if I can achieve this.

Thank you

I've just purchased a private licence and I'm positively sure the $54 amount of money is well worth it
Now I just hope someone will point me in the right direction so I can embed the V2 Gallery into an existing Flash website. Any ideas, anyone?

I've emailed a request to Imagevuex support about my questions above (embedding the V2 gallery into an existing Flash site) and Karl (mjau-mjau, I think) answered promptly to it (thank you, Karl). However, your solution doesn't seem to work either. Here are the details:

1. My gallery link is http://www.idacas.ro/galerie/

2. The link of the main flash page, into which I intend to load the gallery, is http://www.idacas.ro/indexx.htm

3. I set the stage to align "TL", I created an empty movieclip, I placed it to the x=0, y=0 coordinates, I gave it the instance name of "loaderMc", and then added the following actionscript code to the main timeline: As you can see, the gallery swf file does load into my loaderMc movieclip, but it doesn't start, all I get is the swirling array of dots

What's wrong with my code? Can you please point me in the right direction? Karl, help me, please...

I'm still waiting for support... is there someone who can really help me?

I must tell I'm highly disappointed because of the lack of the support... Come on, people, is it such a difficult task what I'm enquiring about? Can't believe there's nobody who could effectively help me. What happened to the "complete customer satisfaction" concept?

Oooops! Did I sound unkind? It wasn't my intention was just eager to get the gallery working as soon as possible.... hmmmm.... or maybe too soon ? Anyway, if I was being rude, then I'm sorry. I guess you're kinda' right

Almost can't believe there was such a small thing that caused me so much headache

However, Karl, I'm sorry for all my complaining and I hope you'll forgive me for that
And thank you very much for your valuable support!


Now, speaking about the V2 update,

Karl, I am facing another problem now: I have no idea how could I make the V2 gallery load a specific folder or a specific image by issuing call from a button inside my main Flash menu (not V2's menu).
I tried both and with no success whatsoever
I am almost sure the trouble is related to the globalpath variable, but I can't find the glitch
I'm puzzled ... I hate it but that't the truth... I feel I'm trying to bite off more than I can chew
Please, Karl, help me once again
Thank you so much
