Usage and Code Samples for Thumbnail Slider Flash Component

Thumbnail Slider Usage and Code Samples

First you have to instal the mxp file that you received and then close Flash and open it again to refresh the Component panel or just press Ctrl+F7 and press the reload button. With the ThumbnailSlider component in your Components list drag it onto the Stage.

You should have the Component Inspector(Alt+F7) or the Properties panel opened and the ThumbnailSlider selected in order to set the xmlPath parameter. You can also use the actionscrip to add the component on stage like below.

_root.attachMovie("ThumbnailSlider", "slider", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
with (_root.slider)
{
arrowsControl = "click";
border = true;
borderSize = 5;
baseUrl = "";
borderCornerRadius = 5;
tweeningSpeed = 10;
easeType = "Strong";
builtInPreloader = "bar";
preloaderColor = "0x000000";
borderColor = "0xFFFFFF";
orientation = "horizontal";
effectTimeIn = 10;
effectTimeOut = 10;
effectAmount = 50;
rollOverEffect = "colorLight";
reverseRollOverEffect = false;
spacing = 6;
xmlPath = "dataXML.xml";
resizeType = "resize";
thumbWidth = 80;
thumbHeight = 60;
}
_root.slider.setSize(600,60);

var listEvents:Object=new Object();
listEvents.onLoadComplete = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.slider.startSlideshow(5)
}
};
listEvents.onReleaseThumb = function(obj:Object, arg, index) {
_root.ldr.contentPath = obj.large;
_root.description.text = obj.description;
};
slider.addListener(listEvents)
