Forthcoming Actionscript Image Scroller Tutorial

    image-scroller-thumbnail

    Here is a preview of a file I’m writing a tutorial for. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it deals with many normal tasks and will show my process a bit. This tutorial will show how to create a horizontally scrolling image viewer. It will cover xml loading & parsing, loading & resizing external images to fit into a scrollable container, and creating intuitive and responsive scrolling!

    Let me know what you think, and if there’s anything you want specifically mentioned/explained in it I’ll do my best! Or if you have any ideas of how this could be improved.

    Update: The article/tutorial has now been published follow the link to theTutorial to Create a Responsive Image Scroller in ActionScript 3.0

      Hi there!

      I’ve been trying to put one of these together for my portfolio for ages. Theres a few tutorials on how to go about it most are in actionscript 2 or not very helpful at all. Looks good maybe make it loop through the images so you can infinitely scroll

      I want to put this in a box or another movie so it will display within a flash movie at a specific height and width. I know I need some kind of mask and container file – do you have a tutorial on that?

      I’d like to see one that can dynamically update its file list, i.e from mysql database through php to xml. Just do not know if its possible….I eagerly await your tutorial.
