Is there a way to make the slideshow a part of my own flash file? (embedding swf to fla or fla to fla?) - there has to be a way, right?!

Here you can find some documentation about integrating Imagevue in Flash: https://www.photo.gallery/190

This is an interesting question, because we havent provided any examples or documentation on integrating the slideshow into a custom Flash project. However, it is a solution I can recommend -

Generaly you can use the same general commands as referred in the link www.photo.gallery/190 , but you also need to change a few configuration settings - Importantly, you will have to use the boxstage setting to delimit the position and size of your slideshow.

You might also want to read up on this link - https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/spc/ - The configration settings required to run the slideshow in a parent SWF will be similar.

Please keep up posted in this topic if you wish to attempt to integrate it, or even contact me by email or PM.

Hi all,
first I will wish all of you a merry chrismas.
The problem I have is the same, I think.

Please take a look at my HP. http://www.team-ab.net

There I have intergrated first the slideshow and second the gallery.

There is only one problem and I can not localise it, because I am a beginner in flash and php.

If I only use the gallery it is possible to switch between the contentfolders. If I load the slideshow too, I can not switch between the contentfolder in the gallery.
Here I load the slideshow

createEmptyMovieClip("container1", _root.pag.pages.page1);
loadMovie("imagevue/slideshow.swf?globalpath=imagevue/","container1"); 
container1._x = -570;
container1._y = -290;

Here I load the gallery

createEmptyMovieClip("container", _root.pag.pages.page2);
loadMovie("imagevue/imagevue.swf?globalpath=imagevue/","container"); 
container._x = -295;
container._y = -85;

Maybe somebody can help me.

I too am trying to implement a "page component" style slideshow into a flash movie. I think BOXSTAGE is what I need to use, but there is no information on how to configure this feature. Please provide more info.

I found the solution.

I was guessing that the BOXSTAGE dims should be separated by an X. Now I have used a "," and it works perfect.

boxstage = 450,225

This limits the slideshow inside flash to operate at those dims, and in my case stops causing problems with the main movie with has scripts to align and realign based on browser window size.

Hi,
I have changed the boxstage settings as discribed.
Then I have changed background to false. The settings are helpfull because the background disappeared.

But, my masterproblem is the same as explained above.

Is there nobody else who got the same problem? When I open the gallery, I can`t change the contentfolder. That ´s only happening, when I use slideshow and gallery.

I am trying and trying, but I don ´t find a solution.

Bluesky61,

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Normally the slideshow is set to display the images from only one folder.

If you want a different content folder this is done either in the appropriate config.ini file or when you call the slideshow.

You can have two slideshows running from the same set of scripts but accessing two different content folders. I load the two slideshows by sending variables

The code to load w/standard configuration slideshow:

loadMovie("imagevue/slideshow.swf?globalpath=imagevue/", yourmovieclip);

The code to load another using a different content folder:

loadMovie("imagevue/slideshow.swf?globalpath=imagevue/&contentfolder=content2/", yourmovieclip);

You can read more about this method here -> viewtopic.php?t=666

cliffkujala,
missunderstanding!

Take a look at: http://www.team-ab.net

I`m using one slideshow.swf (page "Home") and one imagevue.swf (page "Gallery!).

Open the imagevue-gallery on page "gallery". Open the main-menu. Try to open the first content. Now try to change and open the second content. Now it disappears.

cliffkujala · 23 Jan 2007, 07:57

In your config.ini I have noticed that you callout a folder. I don't think you need to do this because in the gallery I think you want to access all folders correct.

; folder = gallery/groupfolder1/imagefolder1

I think you should change this to:

folder = false

Also it is strange that there is a ";" before some lines in the config. Are you trying to disable those lines by using the ;?

I'm not sure if it will cause problems, but your lang_german.ini file also has some special characters in it. Maybe that will be an issue too. Specifically on the following lines:

nextimagetext = Naechstes Bild >>
previousimagetext = <<Bild>>
previousthumbnailstext = <<Seite>> and << is redundant because the gallery already adds those items automatically. Notice those same lines from the original lang.ini

nextimagetext = Next Image
previousimagetext = Previous Image
nextthumbnailstext = Next Page
previousthumbnailstext = Previous Page

There also seems to be some lines missing from your lang_german.ini file as well. The following lines don't exist on the German File:

slideshowtext = View Image
downloadimage = Download Image

When I load your slideshow using the following there are no problems:

http://www.team-ab.net/imagevue/index.p ... t=lang.ini

But when I load:

http://www.team-ab.net/imagevue/index.p ... /imagevue/

It sometimes crashes my browser (something Imagevue has never done for me.)

bluesky61 · 24 Jan 2007, 14:16

Hi,
thank you for these hints.
Now I ´ve changed everything. I use the lang.ini and in config.ini I ´ve deleted all rows beginning with ";".

But nothing has changed. The problem with my gallery is the same.

cliffkujala · 24 Jan 2007, 15:34

It seams there is either a problem with the Image 006a.JPG or it's thumbnail. View this file:

www.cliffkujala.com/activity.jpg

The file is the browser activity for your site. I have never seen this "Plug-in cancelled" error before. It looks as if that image is crashing a part of flash maybe.

Remove that file from the gallery, and then see if it changes anything. Maybe thumbnails need to be rebuilt also.

bluesky61 · 26 Jan 2007, 01:43

Hi,
I ´ve deleted the thumb and the picture. Thumbs are created with adminfile.

Nothing changes. I think it nothing with the pictures.

Could it be, that the gallery when changing the content looses the position in flash?
Afew weeks ago, I ´ve build a second, seperate, folder with complete imagevue. Then I started slideshow from /imagevue1 and the gallery from /imagevue. Result: the same problem.
But, I wonder, because it only happens, when I load both. If I only load the gallery into my flash, erverything is ok.

cliffkujala · 26 Jan 2007, 10:46

Perhaps there is a bug with Flash or Imagevue that causes problems when loading both two instances. This is now a support question that either maju-maju or pain should answer.

I hope they are reading this, because I have a problem with loading two slideshows into Flash simultainiously.

bluesky61 · 26 Jan 2007, 11:23

Hi,
many thanks for your help!

I wish too, that mjau-mjau give us a help.

I can ´t imagine that we are the only with that problem.

Please post me, if you ´ll find a solution. I ´ll do the same.

Best wishes!
