Question

Dynamic image and text slideshow

Asked by: pmelkebeke

I give double points to the accepted solution!!

Can anyone help me out with creating a vertical slideshow with images from a database which would need to have to following specs:
- database driven (ASP if possible or combination with other script)
- vertically show 3 images, top and bottom faded slightly and the middle one highlighted some way
- the middle one also should be clickable to link to a detail page (ASP)
- next to the middle image I'd like to see a brief description of the image (text from database as well)

This may be a commercial solution as well (if not too expensive)

I give double points to the accepted solution!!

woow, very fast response.

i'll post the code here to make every body get use of it.

database:
=======

create an access database file. name it Images.mdb

creat a table called Image and fill in these data.

ImgID      ImgLoc      ImgDesc
1      1.jpg      one
2      2.jpg      two
3      3.jpg      three
4      4.jpg      four
5      5.jpg      five
6      6.jpg      six
7      7.jpg      seven
8      8.jpg      eight
9      9.jpg      nine
10      10.jpg      ten

the asp file should look like:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0">
</head>
<body>

<%
            Response.Write("&")
            set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
      
            conn.Open "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=CDW2P-HIT8065;UID=sa;PWD=;DATABASE=kanary"
            If conn.errors.count = 0 Then
                  'Response.Write "Connected OK"
            End If
            set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
            rs.Open "SELECT UserName,value1,value2 FROM Users;", conn
            counter=1
            do until rs.EOF
                  
                  for each x in rs.Fields
                  Response.Write(x.name)&counter                  
                  Response.Write("=")
                  Response.Write(x.value)
                  Response.Write("&")
                  
                  next
                  
            counter=counter+1
            rs.MoveNext
            loop

            rs.close
            conn.close
            if Request.Form("test") <>"" then            
                  Response.Write "test2="&Request.Form("test")
                  
            end if
            Response.Write "&"
%>

</body>
</html>


and the flash should look like:

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.source = "http://localhost/500Points/ASPImage.asp";
myData.onLoad = function() {
      ImageCounter = this.ImgCount;
      ImageLocs = new Array();
      ImageDesc = new Array();
      for (k=1; k<=this.ImgCount; k++) {
            ImageLocs[k] = this["ImgLoc"+k];
            ImageDesc[k] = this["ImgDesc"+k];
      }
};
myData.load(myData.source);
