Hi there, I was trying to center the nav bar dots (for selecting different images) and maybe adding a pause/play function.
I'm close to switching from pause to play button (I don't use AS3 but I'm learning it slowly)
I would love to know how to center the dots based on the stage width.

e11world, I guess it's easy to use our prototypes function, centrateOn (or centerOn if the first one isn't there. We updated it's name). Check how we use it in any of our free components, it should make sense, plus you will learn a bit more AS3! :-)

Thanks for the tip. I found this

                
if(repositionFlag)	{
	this.x = Math.round((pWidth - this.width) / 2);
	this.y = Math.round((pHeight - this.height) / 2);
}

But then found this a few lines after.

                
MovieClip.prototype.centrateOn = TextField.prototype.centrateOn = function(pWidth : Number, pHeight : Number) : void
{
	if(pWidth != -1) this.x = Math.round((pWidth - this.width) / 2);
	if(pHeight != -1) this.y = Math.round((pHeight - this.height) / 2);
};

I just don't see how it's calling that movie clip to center it. I tried to insert that code in banner.as and still having a bit of a hard time trying to figure out how to call that function to center the navbar.

The positioning is inside Banner.as, in the start function. You can center the thumbs in the controller like this:

                
mcController.mcAllThumbs.centrateOn(mcController.width, -1);

The zip isn't protected in any way. Try again. :-)

I am sure someone has already asked this, but I did not find it when I was reading the comments.

The only issue I am having is I changed the app size via xml. from the origional to 406 x 238.
I also edited my photos to fit that exact same size. But it is not showing up in that size. I even
made sure that the flash prop. panel reflects the same size, so that way during preview I was
not just seeing the old swf size, but the corrected size.

So when I preview the app in flash cs4, there is a white border on the right and bottom as if
the flash prop. for the swf is bigger than the xml given size.

any suggestions?

Thanks

jasen.yhwhdesignhas, we'll add a search box for the comments with the following design update. Actually, there will be many exciting new features all over! :-)

My question is this: do you want to use this in Flash or HTML? There are two different answers based on your answer, so let me know please.

First of all, THANK YOU! This is a great resource. I had one quick question. I am implementing two occurrences of this slideshow on an html site. How can I get the second one to link to a different .xml file?
