Yes, the light stays off now. Great!
I'll be checking your site with interest to see you next creative changes

b.t.w. you should put a link to your site in your signature... I'm sure more people are interested to see your changes..

This is cool, but the only problem is that it slows down imagevue animation. So everything is very slow, hovering over menu and imagebuttons. Other than that this is awsome

but only slightly, it maybe that the gallery runs more heavier and you notice only when using a computer with low ram or cpu speed.

That is a very inefficient script running there, and as grimurnet mentions, it certainly has the capacity to increase CPU usage drastically. as far as I can see, you have an event below that triggers 60 times per second, and then for each of these times, you are also triggering a Tween event. If you want to optimize this, first of all can you not execute this onSWFAddress change instead? Why enterframe? Second, if you for some reason must use enterFrame (although this should be changed to setInterval instead), then must you trigger a tween event each time? As far as I see it, this script is triggering a tween 60 times a second even as you visitor is simply viewing an image ... it should only trigger the the tween if the swfaddress has actually CHANGED from what it was last time the event checked.

this.onEnterFrame = function (){
	SWFAddress.text = SWFAddress.getValue();
	if (SWFAddress.text.indexOf(".jpg") == -1){
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 0, 1, true);
	} else{
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 80, 1, true);
	}
}

Thanks for sugestions.

Of course, my friends notice me that the site slowed down (for me is ok, but I have powerful computer), and I suspected that it has something to do with my modifications (especially onEnterFrame function)

My knowledge of AS2 is so small that I could not find a better solution for this. onSWFAddress.change works well if the link to an image is not a direct link - then just "onSWFAddress change" function not work...

I will try to look into this

Thank You,

Ok, I think it should be a bit better.

This is the start code (for linking directly to image):

My_interval = setInterval(check_URL, 2000);

function check_URL(){
	SWFAddress.getValue();
	if (SWFAddress.getValue().indexOf(".jpg") == -1){
		trace ("none");
	} else{
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 80, 1, true);
		clearInterval (My_interval);
	}
}

and after that, animations are based on "SWFAddress.onChange" function.

SWFAddress.onChange = function(){
	SWFAddress.getValue();
	if (SWFAddress.getValue().indexOf(".jpg") == -1){
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 0, 1, true);
	} else{
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 80, 1, true);
	}
}

I know, it's not perfect code, but should works much better.

Thank You,
Artur.

Yes, indeed... the thumnails and images do load a lot quicker now.

Thank You Martin, You always makes me proud of my work on site

Now should be a bit better - tween's will only execute when detect taht light is on or off.

SWFAddress.onChange = function(){
	SWFAddress.getValue();
	if (SWFAddress.getValue().indexOf(".jpg") == -1){
		Light_On();
	} else{
		Light_Off();
	}
}

function Light_Off(){
	if (black_square._alpha == 80){
		trace ("done");
	} else{
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 80, 1, true);
	}
}

function Light_On(){
	if (black_square._alpha == 0){
		trace ("done");
	} else{
		var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 0, 1, true);
	}
}

In the example which I wrote earlier, tween's was executed always when switching next/previous image.

What do You think about this code, Karl?

Yes, this looks perfect to me ... The script only executes if there is a change in the SWFAddress, which basically fixes everything. In addition, you only execute the tween if the gallery mode is in state of change, which is further correct optimizing ...

Just for the sake of coding perfection, I would optimize your codes like this:

function Light_Off(){
   if (black_square._alpha != 80){
      var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 80, 1, true);
   }
}

function Light_On(){
   if (black_square._alpha != 0){
      var myTween:Tween = new Tween(black_square, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, black_square._alpha, 0, 1, true);
   }
}

Nice1 ... You are setting this as a background I assume?

grimurnet · 20 Jun 2011, 10:43

Now it is working much smoother, thanks a lot

I'm really liking this feature. It draws the attention to the image, it's awsome

grimurnet · 20 Jun 2011, 10:56

I was wondering is it not possible to link ?language=icelandic to current page, rather than the startpage?

Thank You.
Yes, that's right, Background with "TR" aligment (so as not to infect audio-player).
Everything is explained in text file in attachment

You're welcome, I'm glad You like it. (I see, you miss buttons somewhere?)

You speak about my module?
