Adding description for each slide

(2007-10-01 - views: 1562)

Q: Can I add a Dynamic text box with the slide description from xml, and how to do it (as)...thanks
A: Yes you can. All you have to do is to add the description parameter inside your xml file as I did <item itemEvents='true' contentPath='images/jmp01.jpg' description="this is the description for slide 1"/> , then place a dynamic textfield on stage set it's instanceName to "desc" and use the on change listener as below:
myEventListener = new Object(); 
myEventListener.change = function(args){ 
    descr.text = args.item.description; 

Attached are the example files.

Adding description for each slide

Inside the xml file add another parameter for the image title as below:
(I've used the files attached to this item...so you can edit the example files provided for this item)
<item itemEvents='true' contentPath='images/jmp01.jpg' description="this is the description for slide 1" imageTitle="this is the image title"/>

Inside the fla file you must add another dynamic textfield for image's title, set an instance name for it let's say "imgTitle" and the actionscript should look like below:
myEventListener = new Object();
myEventListener.change = function(args){
descr.text = args.item.description;
imgTitle.text=args.item.imageTitle
}
It very intuitive if you already have the example files available for this item.
Description moving with images
posted by jumpin on 2008-01-28

Hi
nice tool.
I'm curious if the component can also move the descriptions along with the images when sliding.
I hope is clear what i ask :)
I mean if scrolling is setup automatic, every image moves with it's descriptions, from right to left.

Thanks

I've posted an item in the Knowledge base to show you how to add the description inside the slides so they will move together:

The second text field should be added the same way as the first one, via ActionScript code.

Thank you :) So you say I can buy this and will be able to add and position extra textfield very easy right? I'm not a geek in AS but I hope it won't be difficult to customize. Thanx
