Adding an auto play button to my movie
Hi all,
I'm having great difficulty with the following.
I'm using the following actionscript:
Code:
images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;
images_xml.load("xml/images.xml");
images_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
function startImageViewer(success) {
if (success == true) {
rootNode = images_xml.firstChild;
totalImages = rootNode.childNodes.length;
firstImageNode = rootNode.firstChild;
currentImageNode = firstImageNode;
currentIndex = 1;
updateImage(firstImageNode);
}
}
function updateImage(newImageNode) {
imagePath = newImageNode.attributes.jpegURL;
imageText = newImageNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
targetClip.loadMovie(imagePath);
}
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImageNode = currentImageNode.nextSibling;
if (nextImageNode == null) {
break;
} else {
currentIndex++;
updateImage(nextImageNode);
currentImageNode = nextImageNode;
}
};
back_btn.onRelease = function() {
previousImageNode = currentImageNode.previousSibling;
if (previousImageNode == null) {
break;
} else {
currentIndex--;
currentImageNode = previousImageNode;
updateImage(previousImageNode);
}
};
What i want to do is add another button called "auto_play", this button when clicked will display the image that is currently being displayed (from the xml file) for 20 seconds then move on to the next image from the xml file and display that for 20 seconds and so on until it gets to the last image in the xml file.
Also, when the "auto_play" button is clicked again it will turn this feature off and display from where it is in the xml iamge list.
Here is the xml file:
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<IMAGES>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_1.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_2.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_3.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_4.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_5.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_6.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_7.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_8.swf">
</imageNode>
<imageNode jpegURL="images/pic_9.swf">
</imageNode>
</IMAGES>
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Suzy

Hi Suzy,
This code looks like the Macromedia Image Viewer.
Just this morning I coded exactly what you wanted for someone else (added play, stop, last first).
Drop me a personal message (so I remember) and when I get home and I will send it to you. It needs a bit of cleanup design wise as I have just copied the Macromedia buttons.
Thanks
Luke

Hi Luke,
Thankyou for the reply earlier.
That would be FANTASTIC if you could send me the Image Viewer files that you created with the play, stop, last, first features etc.
Can you send them to me at micmac@ripefruit.com
I've been working on a personal website and would love to add this feature to my site.
Once again, thanks for you time.
Regards,
Suzy
