About three months ago life circustances forced me to learn CSS/HTML code so I can design and create our website from scratch. I credit you and about 10 other css teachers for making it possible for me, a 62-yr grandma, to experience the beauty of creating with css within my lifetime. Thank you.
Mate rather than take your tutorials for granted and complain about why i cant get something to work, i just want to say a big thank you! for your help. I cant believe you know all these programs so well. Im going to your website now. Cheers!!
Yeah dude, absolutely. This was awesome. I am a comeplete noob and I basically took an hour and a half to go through this three time...just listening to the audio and doing my own thing in CS4. I now know how to do it and feel comfortable doing it on my own without instruction. I appreciate it. Davegas: patience my man. It's a virtue.
Hey thanks so much for posting this! The speaker was very thorough and patient, and YES, I did follow along the entire way. (I had 10 photos to use, so yes this process was quite tedious, but it worked!)
Thank you, excellent tutorial - it's a bit long but I understand why....I'm an intermediate with Flash and got this tutorial to work the very first time....Thank You!
What a great tutorial! The actions can be a little tedious for something more than five images, but nevertheless, it's easy and best of all, IT WORKS~ Great work here.
I'm not kidding...this just took me an entire day to figure! I was just about to give up, feeling pretty pissed off with an entire day wasted, but just on the offchance I decided to change the "Photosmc" labels i had been using to "photosMC", and everything miraculously started working... I've done it now..but still..WTF!
Cheers for thhe tutorial. changed some things around, i used flash cs4 using AS2, thing i found for anyone doing it in CS4 is that when you click the "motion tween" to make it fade to whole, in cs4 this is called "classic tween" the motion tween on cs4 will not work idk why but classic tween does the same thing. cheers for the video, keep em coming
Thank You! I was just able to successfully build this album on my very first time opening Flash MX! I have no code writing or animating experience whatsoever. Cheers!
Excellent tut' dude!! simple yet stunning results. Thanks you :) My fav is the AS that lets you click on LRG image to roll over/alpha to next img. Sweet!!
i figured it out, well I don't know if its the right way to fix it but it worked for me so you Don't have to start over, just go to your Properties> Publish: Setting> ActionScript Version: 2.0 and click okay. I was having problems with actionscript 3.0 so if you are having that same problem just switch of the version and this may help. =)
There's a couple of ways to do it. One way is to have those pictures as individual frames and under each keyframe, have the arrows navigate between the previous keyframes. A little lengthy if you have such a huge selection of images, but it'll still get the job done none the less.
Gr8 tutorial. Thanks. It took me 3 or 4 hours to do everything. :s For anyone that gets the #1119 error, change the ActionScript from 3.0 to 2.0. I was blocked for half an hour because of that xS
That's awesome. I've used all your tutorials to help me with my Web Dev class. Aweeeesoommmeee. Thanks a lot. Do you do these 'just because', or do you answer questions on how to go about doing something?
Hey, well im doing a project and i also needed to ask the same reason.. as far as i know, if ur using AS 2.0, You should continue workings with it. well.. try using publish settings if ur not using that much resources from CS4 Flash AS 3.0 (Note, if u have used the 3d objects, deco tool or bone tool you cannot change it again)
This tutorial is outstanding...I can't wait to get the results. I have a similar problem. (on img2) I put the alpha to 0 and create the tween but I get the dashed line instead of the solid line for the tween and it doesn't work. Also, maybe related, it seems I have to hide all other layers (images 2-5) in order to select image 1,2..and so on. I can't get past image1 in the tween portion of the tutorial...the first tween worked perfectly! Any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?
@mbwinther I'm using cs5 and I use the 'classic tween' instead. Haven't quite managed to make the rest work, but that bit looks ok from the preview... Good luck!
good video for a basic gallery. unfortunately it's a bit inefficient, especially if your gallery has hundreds of photos. I can't imagine the file size of that! I'd love to see an xml tutorial though, that's most likely the best way to create flash galleries.
Greaat tutorial! One question, though: What if i need to put more images in the photo gallery? (I have zero background in Flash, and I'm totally depending on your video)
hi, i have followed through ur tutorial very carefully and to the point with every code and etc. however i am havin a problem with the main (large image) appearing when it comes to selecting the thumbnail (btw the thumbnail works). i am using macromedia flash 8 proffessional.
Excellent! Is there away you can add a slideshow where it automatically goes to the next image. I am working on one right now I but it loads everything causing it to take a long time to start the website.--It seems I have to abandon slideshow because it loads all the image in that time line.
@Christopher1290 hello, I answer your question. Flash version he uses is the number 8. is a bit old, but I'm sure this is the Action Script version 2.0. all the codes you see are from this version.
Thanks for the tutorial. Is there anyway to add an actionscript or something to give the desciption or title of the image using the filename? Example if the image filename is John sitting on the stoop.jpg I would like the filename be used to create a title above the image.
great tutorial. i would like to know how to make the exact same gallery, however I would like for there to be an image on the gallery when it loads (instead of being blank with just thumbnails). can anybody help me?
I got everything to work except for at the end. I cannot get the thumbnails to bring up the images they are supposed to point to. I do a preview and all I see is img1 and all the thumbnails...clicking either of the thumbnails changes nothing...img1 just stays there...any ideas?? Anybody? Im using AS 2.0 Thanks!!!
ok well the actionscipt was causing so many problems!! If you got so far using AS 3 - START OVER... It'll take a lot shorter time to do it over then to try and figure out how to do it with actionscript 3, as it does not work in the same way at all and you will probably have to read at least 5 tutorials on how to code functions for buttons using AS3...so start over, it's alot quicker the 2nd time around anyway...AND WORTH IT!
this tutorial in very helpfull, bur if you'd have mentioned that in fact is in AS2.....some of us can't tell de diference between AS2 and AS3...anyway, great tutorial...thanks
I have the same question, I want to make the thumbnails w/ mouse control buttons to open large images like this one... I have tried a few different things and I know there are two sets of buttons, but i cant get them to work together..
Yeah. Not sure if this was asked already or not, but how come the alpha scrip only works with AS2? I'm completely noob to flash, and I'm just curious. I get errors when I export with as3, but exporting with as2 it works fine.
AS2 if you are having problems with roll over action, use this code inside of each thumbnail's AS: (make sure to change thumb1 to each thumb#) on(rollOver){ thumb1._alpha = 100; } on(rollOut){ thumb1._alpha = 60; }
Hey there Im trying to put the slide gallery in to my web that I have already made in ac3 would I still able to use the as2 to get it to work in my gallery page?
hey awesome video. this is only the first time ive had a go at flash and im understanding it all but im useless with scripts. im up to the 14min mark in the video and when i go to preview the rollover action i get this error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOver through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. ive got flash cs3 and ive heard a nasty rumour the commands for rollover etc are all different for actionscript3? any ideas? can anyone help?
I did this tutorial already and it worked well...but I did a second one and for some reason my buttons and main images do not mesh up. I checked and rechecked the code. Also, when I press the same button it will show up different main images.
I can seem to attach the on mouseover go to and play command to the individual buttons. Everytme i clock on the button the actionscript window says that there cannot be any actions applied. How do I work around this?
I'm running Dreamweaver CS5 and when I try to get the script to run the roller I get an error: Symbol 'masterclipMC', Layer 'thumbs', Frame 1, Line 1 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOver through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. Symbol 'masterclipMC', Layer 'thumbs', Frame 1, Line 4 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOut through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. I'm sure I followed it pretty closely, help?
can't toggle between master-clip and new photo layer after I delete green box then photos disappear when i drag the onto the stage. please help does it matter if this is action script 2 or 3 in Flash CS3? thank you

ive watched all your photoshop, dreamweaver and flash videos, and you have made life a whole lot easier
THANKYOU! There are loads of gallery tutorials I had to go through till I found this one, and it worked beautifully. Nice one.
This is an EXCELLENT tutorial. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this!
Hey thanks so much for posting this! The speaker was very thorough and patient, and YES, I did follow along the entire way. (I had 10 photos to use, so yes this process was quite tedious, but it worked!)
Fantastic tutorial! Great explanations and attention to detail/clarity really made this a comfortable learning experience. Thanks a ton!
EXCELLENT TUT. You Just made it easy to understand even more than my teacher in college. thanks so much.
Thank you, excellent tutorial - it's a bit long but I understand why....I'm an intermediate with Flash and got this tutorial to work the very first time....Thank You!
You ROCK!!!! This is the first time I use Flash & got me through it PER FECT LY!!!! Thanks & keep up the awesome job!!!
What a great tutorial! The actions can be a little tedious for something more than five images, but nevertheless, it's easy and best of all, IT WORKS~

cheers for the video, keep em coming
Thankyou! This is so simple (after struggling for half an hour because I wrote aphla instead of alpha xD ) and it comes out so nice!
I had this same problem too. In newer versions of Flash , choose "Classic Tween" instead of "Motion Tween". That fixed it for me.
Thank You! I was just able to successfully build this album on my very first time opening Flash MX! I have no code writing or animating experience whatsoever. Cheers!
Great tutorial. Just what I needed to help me get started on a project. Thanks.
Excellent tut' dude!! simple yet stunning results. Thanks you :) My fav is the AS that lets you click on LRG image to roll over/alpha to next img. Sweet!!
Than you, you are very good at explaining, by far the best tutorial I've seen
thanx man, this tutorial is great, you saved my life, i had to do this and I didnt remember how it was, thanx a lot dude, i really appreciate it.
Man it worked, i didnt believe it, THANKS no words i m speechless THANKS again i hope to create more too.
Hey dude you are AMAZING!! Thank you very very much you helped me finish my school project gallery :) big respect
You have to place a stop action on the 2nd last frame of the actions layer and for the turn around the gotoAndPlay on the very last frame.
Thank you so much!
I followed your tutorials and they definitely add a great deal to my websites.
thanks again!
Outstanding videos and tutorials from you. I have been learning a lot. Thanks. Designer

(I have zero background in Flash, and I'm totally depending on your video)

hi,
i have followed through ur tutorial very carefully and to the point with every code and etc. however i am havin a problem with the main (large image) appearing when it comes to selecting the thumbnail (btw the thumbnail works). i am using macromedia flash 8 proffessional.
it`s great tutorial thanks it has helped me very much
Thanks! It helped me a lot!
Yes, and i followed his image names and actionscript exactly, but the source for the error was in the actionscript. And yea the image was named thumb1
Thanx so much... it's really help me for my final project... ^^
Ah thanks dude, ill try that!
Excellent! Is there away you can add a slideshow where it automatically goes to the next image. I am working on one right now I but it loads everything causing it to take a long time to start the website.--It seems I have to abandon slideshow because it loads all the image in that time line.

I LEARN A LOT THANKS

yeha i had the same problem, when you start the file make sure you go to Flash doc (Actionscript 2.0)
:)
MY GOOOOOD, even I can understand this...
Thank you Tutvid.... thank you very fucking much
great tutorial. i would like to know how to make the exact same gallery, however I would like for there to be an image on the gallery when it loads (instead of being blank with just thumbnails). can anybody help me?

I do a preview and all I see is img1 and all the thumbnails...clicking either of the thumbnails changes nothing...img1 just stays there...any ideas?? Anybody? Im using AS 2.0 Thanks!!!
Great Tut ! But,i think you should tell us,that this Actionscript only works in AS2. :D
Need to get this updated with some actionscript 3.0
ok well the actionscipt was causing so many problems!! If you got so far using AS 3 - START OVER... It'll take a lot shorter time to do it over then to try and figure out how to do it with actionscript 3, as it does not work in the same way at all and you will probably have to read at least 5 tutorials on how to code functions for buttons using AS3...so start over, it's alot quicker the 2nd time around anyway...AND WORTH IT!

Thank you so much!! :)
Fantastic!
Question: What if you have over 100+ photos...? You have to add the motion tween thing to each picture? No easier way?
AS2 if you are having problems with roll over action, use this code inside of each thumbnail's AS: (make sure to change thumb1 to each thumb#)
on(rollOver){
thumb1._alpha = 100;
}
on(rollOut){
thumb1._alpha = 60;
}
Hey there Im trying to put the slide gallery in to my web that I have already made in ac3 would I still able to use the as2 to get it to work in my gallery page?
hey awesome video. this is only the first time ive had a go at flash and im understanding it all but im useless with scripts. im up to the 14min mark in the video and when i go to preview the rollover action i get this error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOver through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
ive got flash cs3 and ive heard a nasty rumour the commands for rollover etc are all different for actionscript3?
any ideas? can anyone help?
@minhmeo1209 did you change the opacity to 50% before changing it to 100%?!
I did this tutorial already and it worked well...but I did a second one and for some reason my buttons and main images do not mesh up. I checked and rechecked the code. Also, when I press the same button it will show up different main images.
I can seem to attach the on mouseover go to and play command to the individual buttons. Everytme i clock on the button the actionscript window says that there cannot be any actions applied. How do I work around this?
This tutorial is for AS2 if you want to use it, click on the setting button and change the scripting language to AS2
I'm running Dreamweaver CS5 and when I try to get the script to run the roller I get an error:
Symbol 'masterclipMC', Layer 'thumbs', Frame 1, Line 1 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOver through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Symbol 'masterclipMC', Layer 'thumbs', Frame 1, Line 4 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onRollOut through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
I'm sure I followed it pretty closely, help?
good tutorial, a bit long but functional. its actionscript 2 but still good enough
thanks man ! a little bit confuse :)
thanks great Tutorial
can't toggle between master-clip and new photo layer after I delete green box then photos disappear when i drag the onto the stage. please help does it matter if this is action script 2 or 3 in Flash CS3? thank you
when you drew your box, was it the color green?
cool. I got my working Thanks
all you have to do is change from actionscript 3.0 to actionscript 2.0 then it'll work.
