I understand many love AS3, but unfortunately relatively simple Flash Ads being sent to the larger media agencies or trafficked via Omniture, Double-Click or Yahoos Ads Network may find they only support Flash ActionScript 2 or as it’s better know AS2. So for those of you that need some quickie effects, use the component above.

Be aware, it can not be used with Extension Manager CS5. At least I couldn’t.

Holy crap this is hot!

http://flashden.net/item/site-template-xml-v5/47070

In this article I’ll be reviewing for what I’d deem a flexible, simple flash photo gallery that has options such as types of transitions between photos, multiple galleries and preferably something with an upload interface. I’ve seen many of these before so rather than bore you or myself with an elaborate explanation of what I think, I’ll instead get straight to the point because we don’t have time waste. FYI: I’m searching in Google using the keywords, “flash gallery,” in hopes of finding a Flash web application that does everything from one interface rather than having to use terrestrial applications.

This (so far from reading) is an impressive flash gallery that requires Dreamweaver, but not Flash though you should probably have Flash to further the customizations. Rather than this being a web application for easy use, it uses the Adobe Web Suite making Dreamweaver the main application that you must have.
The main listed features themselves are:

  1. Includes Flash Component that generates XML using Dreamweaver
  2. Drag and drop editor
  3. Change colors and style within DW
  4. Flash component is included for use with Flash for further customizations
  5. Automatic image scaling (but not specified if this is done in Flash or if images are affected)
  6. Thumbnail creation requires the Fireworks application

Free – “http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/”
This is the free version of their flash viewer which retains the Simple Viewer copyright. The application is fine if you are looking for something free and easy, but it requires knowledge of an XML application and does not have an upload interface. See comments below for the “Pro” version.

$45 – http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/pro/
This is the professional version, but I don’t see the ability to add multiple galleries and their documentation dictates:
“SimpleViewer-Pro uses the same XML and HTML options used by SimpleViewer. View SimpleViewer Config Options here.
To customize XML Options:

1. Create a SimpleViewer gallery 2. Edit the gallery.xml file that is in your gallery folder. 3. Reload your gallery HTML file in a browser to see your changes.” This means that again you will need to have some knowledge of XML since there isn’t an upload web interface. (Sigh…)

Add to keyframe 1's actionscript layer

MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function(alpha) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        //this._alpha=60;
        this._alpha += (alpha-this._alpha)/2;
        if (this._alpha == 0) {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
    };
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function(alpha) {
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        //this._alpha=100;
        this._alpha += (alpha-this._alpha)/2;
        if (this._alpha == 100) {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
        }
    };
};

//you call this effect by adding it to any keyframe and use:
// yourmovieclipname.fadeOut(40);
//this fades the movieclip out to 40

Here’s what I did to, using part of the solution above to make the movieclip animations work within the pages.
