While waiting the release date of Adobe Apollo which are predicted will release by the end of 2006. The screenshot of Adobe Apollo that was presented by Luis Pollanco during the session “Building Killer RIAs? Meet: Adobe’s Next-Gen Technology” at Adobe Developer Week. Most of demo applications were build using Flex Builder. So here they are the screenshot which are taken from Ryan Stewart’s blog site

Slide Show Tween Class for dynamic Image Gallery

Last week I wrote this class for a flash site development. Since the data is dynamic then I must wrote the code for dynamic slide show gallery also and here the class that i wrote:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. // slide show tween class
  2. class janumedia.fx.tween {
  3.    
  4.     private var mc:MovieClip; // target mc
  5.     private var img1:MovieClip; // mc1
  6.     private var img2:MovieClip; // mc2
  7.     private var data:Array; // image gallery
  8.     private var speed:Number; // tween speed interval
  9.     private var cur:Number; // current play
  10.     private var tw:Boolean; // tween status
  11.     private var intervalID;
  12.    
  13.     function tween(t:MovieClip,d:Array,s:Number){ // t = movieclip target ; d = image list in array ; s = swening speed interval
  14.         mc  = t;
  15.         data    = d;
  16.         speed   = s;
  17.         cur = 0;
  18.         tw            = false;
  19.         prepared();
  20.     }
  21.     private function prepared(){
  22.         mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img1",10);
  23.         mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img2",9);
  24.         img1 = mc.img1;
  25.         img2 = mc.img2;
  26.  
  27.         loadImage(img1,nextImage());
  28.         loadImage(img2,nextImage());
  29.        
  30.     }
  31.     private function beginTween(n:MovieClip){
  32.         clearInterval(intervalID);
  33.         //trace("begin tween "+n);
  34.                                 n.owner = this; 
  35.         switch(n){
  36.             case img1 :
  37.                 //trace("img1");
  38.                 img2.onEnterFrame = function(){
  39.                     this._alpha -= self.speed;
  40.                     //trace(this._alpha);
  41.                     if(this._alpha <= 0) {
  42.                         this.swapDepths(9);
  43.                         this.owner.swapDepths(10);
  44.                         delete this.onEnterFame;
  45.                         this.owner.loadImage(this,this.owner.nextImage());
  46.                     }
  47.                 }
  48.                 break
  49.             case img2 :
  50.                 //trace("img2");
  51.                 img1.onEnterFrame = function(){
  52.                     this._alpha -= self.speed;
  53.                     if(this._alpha <= 0) {
  54.                         this.swapDepths(9);
  55.                         this.owner.img2.swapDepths(10);
  56.                         delete this.onEnterFame;
  57.                         this..owner.loadImage(this,this.owner.nextImage());
  58.                     }
  59.                 }
  60.                 break;
  61.         }
  62.     }
  63.     private function nextImage():String{
  64.         var n = cur;
  65.         cur++;
  66.         cur = cur>= data.length ? 0 : cur;
  67.         //trace("cur : "+cur+" : "+data[n]);
  68.         return data[n];
  69.     }
  70.     private function loadImage(t:MovieClip,img){
  71.         //trace("load : "+img+" to : "+t);
  72.         var self = this;
  73.         var my_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
  74.         var myListener = new Object();
  75.         myListener.onLoadComplete = function (tmc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {
  76.             tmc._alpha = 100;
  77.             if(self.tw) self.intervalID = setInterval(self,"beginTween",2000,tmc);
  78.             self.tw = true;
  79.         }
  80.         myListener.onLoadProgress = function(tmc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {
  81.             var a = Math.round((bytesLoaded/bytesTotal)*100);
  82.             trace("load progress "+a);
  83.         }
  84.         my_mcl.addListener(myListener);
  85.         my_mcl.loadClip(img, t);
  86.     }
  87. }

To use is is very simple. Make sure you copy this code and save as tween.as in folder janumedia/fx.
Then ready to use with this code:

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. var myGallery = new Array("image1.jpg","image2.jpg","image2.jpg");
  2. var myslideshow = new janumedia.fx.tween(this, myGallery, 200);

The gallery list (array data) it self can be load dynamically using xml data
