I am trying to move the selected image by 1 position instead of moving it to the center of navigator. I am not sure how to do it? Please help me!

I found a simple fix for this last thumbnail image flickering issue. We calculate the total width of the thumbnails by adding the individual thumbnail widths. This we do it in initializeThumbnails() method in Navigator.as class. We have to increase the total width so that if there are 5 images, the total width should be equal to 6 images. SO at the end of for loop, I have included the following.

for each( var image:ImageVO in album.images )
{
...
...
totalWidth+=navItem.width;
count = count + 1;
}
totalWidth+=navItem.width; // this is the additional line to be added to fix the last
thumbnail flickering issue.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I have created the xml locally and stored under assets directory but when I run the application I get :
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
When I close the debug message photos work fine but it doesn't work on different machines at all.

Any idea how can I solve the problem?

Thanks.

Hi, Firstly great application looks real good, I loved it so much I wanted to have a slide show in my website too, I Downloaded the source code and the project created nicely.
It compiles and everything is good. I am using Flex Builder 3.

I get an error when I try to run the VESlideshow on my PC I get a windows pop up message which states the following

"File not found: file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/shubht/My%20Documents/Flex%20Builder%203/VESlideshow/bin-debug/VESlideshow.html"

I dont know how this file is generated it was not in the zip file I downloaded.
Any pointers would be great
Thanks
Turlock

Thank you so much Shoba. I really wanted to get to this, but didn't
have the time. I will apply your patch to the project. Cheers.

I have fixed this problem. All we have to do is when loadGalleryXML (in Imagescroll.mxml) is called I check if nav is null.If its not null then I remove the nav and make it null.

public function loadGalleryXML(xml_base_url:String):void
{
if(nav!=null){
canv.removeChild(nav);
nav=null;
}
var ssp_xml_base_url:String = xml_base_url;
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(ssp_xml_base_url);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", galleryXmlLoaded);
//addEventListener(Navigator.INIT_COMPLETE, onNavInit);
}

I was trying to implement singleton pattern using static initializers to create just one instance of Navigator and using the single instance I was trying to initialize the thumbnails for different galleries but it doesn't seem to work.

Thank you very much Joel.

I think, every time I load a new gallery, a new instance of Navigator component is being created. So I think I have to make sure only one instance of Navigator is created and update it with the new gallery. I am working on it and will update you if I am able to fix it.

Once again,Thanks a lot!!!
