I've dumbed this down to a page that does nothing more than attempt to
get this aspect working, stripped everything else out:
http://74.121.128.139:8500/dataflow/bin/dataflow.html
VS is enabled.
I figure my real task to to ensure whenever you load into the page
with the Current Gallery and Main Image, you are doing that FROM
somewhere - in my case from a link to a specific image; from the main
page directly to the Galleries Page, or from the Newest Images
scroller as a sub-page of my Home page.
The problem I am having right now is that I figured this means I need
to pass variables to the service, but in switching from a mechanism
that was set up to read E4X to one that didn't (i.e., I am use Ted on
Flex's Flickr Scroller locally) I can't get even a creationComplete to
work, just as a way of getting it started so I can eventually get rid
of the hard code to value-based entry. Here's what I have, if anyone
can help me out on this part, or 2 parts, the first being what am I
doing: wrong with the failure to connect even the hard code to the
Current Gallery scroller, and second, am I approaching the need
correctly, i.e., creationComplete function that loads the service with
a value passed from the link, or newest iamges scroller, or a direct
button to the gallery. Here's the real problem right now - the
disconnect between the code I'm writing and the scroller itself
(Current Gallery):
<mx:Application
...
xmlns:fx="com.fusiox.ui.*"
xmlns:ns1="*"
initialize="loadCurrentGallery();"
...>
Then:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function loadCurrentGallery():void {
this.mainthumbXMLsrv.url="model/gal_green.xml";
this.mainthumbXMLsrv.send();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
Then:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<photos page="1" pages="5" perpage="100" total="500">
<photo id="441043591"
thumb="green1_th"
image="green1"
smalltitle="Green 1"
title="Green 1 text. This is a green photo. Blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah "
/>
<mx:HTTPService id="mainthumbXMLsrv" url="model/gal_blue.xml"
useProxy="false" resultFormat="xml"/>
Then:
<fx:Scroller
id="scroller"
itemRenderer="mainthumb"
dataProvider="{mainthumbXMLsrv.lastResult.rsp.photos.photo}"
width="75%" height="100" verticalCenter="0" right="20"/>
Where:
mainthumb.mxml states:
<mx:Image
id="thumb"
source="images/{data.thumb}.jpg"
//click="loadBigImage(event)"
toolTip="{data.title}"
completeEffect="Fade"
horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/>
</mx:Canvas>
I hope I'm getting there! But I don't know how to switch from original
code that was not E4X to code that is.
The (hardcoded for now) XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<photos page="1" pages="5" perpage="100" total="500">
<photo id="441043591"
thumb="green1_th"
image="green1"
smalltitle="Green 1"
title="Green 1 text. This is a green photo. Blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah "
/>
...etc...
Sorry I keep coming back to this, but I can't do anything without it.
I'll pay someone to help me with this if they want. But I want it open
sourced for all when its done. I have NO commercial interest in this.
I am a photographer and want an amazing site that working just how I
want, and want to be able to offer it to anyone else who wants it.
