Here is a simple set of jQuery sliders/galleries. I set up a system to view other transition effect between images. Later I will add thumbnails and captions to each image.





Papervision 3d Gallery + upload

Papervision 3d Gallery + upload

March 29, 2011 in General 4 Comments

Here is a simple upload app, that will add your image to the Papervision3d gallery below. try it yourself by uploading an image and refreshing your browsers page.

Here is the Papervision3d gallery. Displaying flash as3 moviceclips in PV3D is fairly straight forward, but this application will pull images directly from a folder on the server and dynamically display the with ‘smart’ displaying properties… the more images in the folder, the app will do its best to maintain a ‘square’ wall.

It populates the flash gallery by dynamically generating an XML file with the folder contents.

Here is the php used to create the xml file.

  1. <?php
  2. //set file type as XML
  3. header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8');
  4.  
  5. //set directory function
  6. function DirDisply($files) {      
  7.    
  8.   //set directory location for images
  9.      $getDir=opendir("../flash/uploaded_images");
  10.  
  11.   //create array for images    
  12.   $files = array();
  13.  
  14.      while ($file = readdir($getDir)){            
  15.       if ($file == "." || $file == ".."){  
  16.     }  
  17.           else {          
  18.      $files[] = $file;                
  19.            }
  20.       }  
  21.  return $files;  
  22.  }
  23.  
  24. //populate array
  25. $files = DirDisply($file);  
  26.  
  27. //set image folder location for html/xml/flash
  28. $imageSrc = 'http://www.josephmewes.com/developer/flash/uploaded_images/';
  29.  
  30.  //print HTML markup
  31.  print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';
  32.  $gallery = array();
  33.  
  34.    //use push method to loop through the array and create XML markup
  35.  for($i=0; $i<count($files); $i++){  
  36.   array_push($gallery, $files[$i]);
  37.  };
  38.   ?>
  39.       <gallery>
  40.       <?php      
  41.       foreach( $gallery as $files[$i])
  42.       {
  43.       ?>
  44.       <!– each image file img src markup –>
  45.       <image src="<?php echo $imageSrc.$files[$i] ?>"/>      
  46.       <?php
  47.       }
  48.       ?>
  49.       </gallery>

See the output

I have used AS3 BulkLoader for importing and parsing the XML generated.

flash/iPhone app – Example

flash/iPhone app – Example

March 19, 2011 in General 1 Comment

This is my first in development flash game. I have created it with the dimensions of a possible iPhone app. Flash CS5 can now port as3 movies into .ipa app files, so I felt it was a good idea to think about gameplay and UI design for the iPhone right from thi=e initial development stage (rather than trying to make it fit later).

Bouncing ball – ver 1.0 – alpha

You can control the bouncing ball with the mouse. The idea is to keep the ball heading ‘down’ while the shelves try and push it up. There is no functional scoring system yet, which I will link with time I think. And no ‘GAME OVER’ system if the ball hit the top (refresh your browser window to play again).

These updates will be implemented soon.
