jQuery simple image gallery

Published on December 10, 2010 in Download, jQuery and Tutorials. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Another gallery/slideshow example with jQuery, this time we will load image after user selects one of the controls(next/prev).

We will wait until next image is loaded(main time show loading information) and  after make smooth fade in/out transition with our current and new image.
Unlike previous post, in this example we are not loading all images from the beginning, which makes this gallery perfect for using with large amount of images.

jQuery simple image fade in/out slideshow

Published on December 7, 2010 in Download, jQuery and Tutorials. 3 Comments Tags: , , , .

The fallowing example shows how to make slideshow of images with fade in/out nice smooth transition. jQuery makes everything easy.
Note that all images are defined at the start(they will load all together from the beginning) and while this will work for small amount of images it might be wrong solution for gallery of 10 images or more.
Example also uses corner jQuery plugin to round image corners.

JSFL move exported symbols to timeline

Published on November 19, 2009 in Flash, jsfl and Misc. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , .

Couple of days ago I wrote simple jsfl (my first) script to automate the process of moving library symbols with linkage id to main Timeline.
The reason: to show proper loading progress. Was doing it one by one for every project before: uncheck export in frame one, move to main timeline keyframe2.
Once all symbols are moved, using frame one for preloader and after jump to frame 3 for main movie.

as3 Scaling Image Gallery

I remember ~5-6 years ago when I decide to make my first flash components using actionscript only, scaling image slideshow was one of them.
I got lots of feedback, comments and after that I start my freelance flash development carrier.
In fact, the slideshows, galleries are the flash elements that I’m using almost in all flash projects/websites, so I think it might be useful to share some code for scaling image gallery.
