Dynamic Page Flip
Posted by Steve Palmer on July 3rd, 2005
Update: Version 2 of the dynamic page flip is now available!
I’m sure a lot of you have stumbled upon Macc at IpariGrafika’s incredible Flash page flipping engine and run into the same problem as I did - works great, but it’d be even better if pages could be set dynamically!
Well, I’ve taken Macc’s page flip source (v2.13) and set it up so that pages can be dynamically imported from external sources (i.e. JPG and SWF files) at run time. Basically, everything is set in an XML file:
- Page dimensions (width and height)
- Page file locations (absolute or relative URL)
- Whether the page can tear or not
- Whether the book has a hard cover or not
- Whether there are any transparent pages or not
If you’re not using transparent pages, it’s a good idea to specify that you’re not because there will be better performance without it.
The technique I’ve used requires that a lot of pages be loaded and “ready” on the stage at any given time, so I wouldn’t recommend using this with a lot of animated pages as there will be a significant drop in performance. However, for 20-30 static JPG or SWF files it works great.

in the org. v. when you touch the flipping edge, the animation inside the page will return to fram 1. how can i turn of this?
thanks!
July 8th, 2005 » 2:34 pm
Hi Yeti,
That was intentional. If you have an animation playing on a page, why would you want it to reset to frame 1 every time you start a page flip?
July 8th, 2005 » 3:00 pm
not reset, i want to get rid of that function… every time i touch the flippingedge the movieclip is set to frame 1, why? how can i change this?
July 9th, 2005 » 8:48 am
is there a way to speed up turing pages? i have only 20 loaded into the book.. when i turn the pages it goes so slow? why? its not heavy at all… can i speen it up? but how? im using your dynamic version..
thanks!
July 10th, 2005 » 4:36 pm
great work! I appreciate it. Anyone implemented a zoom function already?
July 11th, 2005 » 3:45 am
I think that many people will appreciate that you are sharing this dynamic version with everyone else. At least: I will! Thanks man.
July 12th, 2005 » 6:05 am
not much replies on this site :(
July 13th, 2005 » 4:16 pm
Okay… so where is the download?? When I click on the “Download the source files here” link I get the famous “The page cannot be displayed” page.
July 14th, 2005 » 12:04 pm
Hi, is it possible to setup page selector? and I notice if I use .swf with text on it it’s slow down performance of flipbook, anyway thank you so much for making it dynamically
July 15th, 2005 » 5:11 am

Thanx–

Hey used your script. thanks it’s great saves me tons of time. I have a question though; How do I get something on page 0. I want to have a message about how to turn the pages. In the static version I just loaded page 0 as start page and had my content there. I cannot find how to create a page 0 in your dynamic version. Thanks in advance for any help. Peace out!

Forgot to add my email address
July 21st, 2005 » 9:04 am
Hi Paul, because of the changes I made to the way the pages are imported it’s not as easy as it was in Macc’s original version to have a page 0 in the way that you’ve described. I’m going to work on a way around that, but in the meantime you’ll have to place the instructions on a layer below ‘pages’ in the FLA file.
August 9th, 2005 » 1:47 pm
Hi! Nice job! Hope you will have enough nrg to convert the new releases of the pageflip into dynamic:)
I don’t have yet enough time to see your source codes, but i really want to know how do you have done this version. (i have a dynamic version too, but it is’nt opensource because it was made for an order…)
Have a nice day, bye
Macc

You’ve made a great work!.
A zoom function will be fine but it will probably need refeeding images for showing better resolution…
Anyway, I’ve made an onMouseOverActiveCorners modification to get a HandCursor for PageFlip 2.13 (it works for your version too):

-Poor english description included, but it works ;)
August 14th, 2005 » 4:30 pm
1. Is there a way to input HTML text from an exteral text file? 2. Is there a way to input more than one photo on a page from external jpegs? 3. Has there been any development on a “page selector”? 4. In relation to question 1, I know there is a way to input content from a database. Can that be implemented here? …… Thanks for the great Flash application!
August 14th, 2005 » 5:42 pm
1. How do I get the SWF to work with other file formats other than the JPEGs like GIFs?
2. Is there any way you know of to make Flash work with Iframes?
Thanks again……………!
August 20th, 2005 » 12:34 pm
Is there a way to prevent pages from being cached? That would make the input of dynamic content from external files much easier…..check out the following link for a similar product:

September 7th, 2005 » 6:58 pm
Great work! Well I have one problem and I hope you guys can help me with. My frontcover page has several frames of animation, when i am loading the site for the first time, it goes thru the preloading stage…but after it loads all the pages, my animations on the firstpage doesn’t play…i think it played too early before it finished loading all the pages. and when i reload the browser it plays fine since it’s cached… hope this is clear….
September 29th, 2005 » 5:59 pm
Great work!
I’m hoping someone can point me to the place where I can add a doubleClick even to every page. I want to open a much larger popup of the page if the user double-clicks on it.
Thanks.
October 7th, 2005 » 4:42 am
Hi. Great work, Steve
I tried to display it in a web page, and the only way I got it, is putting the webpage at the same level of the swf loader. How can I put the page in root and the flash in separate folder?
October 11th, 2005 » 6:18 am
The best I’ve seen so far. One problem. I’m still waiting for the powers that be to get me Flash MX 2004…. Can you provide a Flash MX version on here or does it need to be 2004 only? Thanks!
October 14th, 2005 » 12:30 pm
Hi,
I’m loading in JPG’s with smaller dimensions than the page width and wish to centerise each one.
Within the setPages() function I am trying the following code to calculate the dimensions of the image and then to position each one:
// Actual page number we’re on
var lPg = p1;
var rPg = (lPg+1);
// Grab the left and right image dimensions for this set of pages
var lImg = eval(”pages.p1.page.pf.ph.pic.p”+lPg);
var rImg = eval(”pages.p1.page.pf.ph.pic.p”+rPg);
var xx = ((pw/2) - (rImg._width/2));
var yy = ((ph/2) - (rImg._height/2));
rImg._x=xx;
The problem is that although the calculations all work correctly, the image never actually moves on its x/y axis, it just stays exactly where it started.
Where am I going wrong?
October 18th, 2005 » 1:33 am
how to link a button so that it’ll open the page directly rather than have to flip over ? pleasee someone help me. i’m doing an assigment and stuck with this problem. much thanks..
October 19th, 2005 » 11:25 am
great work thanks heaps
October 20th, 2005 » 11:45 am
Man, great flash here. I love it.
I am trying to implement this as an intro/splash. what I want to do is set the autoFlip function correctly. So far, no luck. I’d like a fairly fast autoflip.
Anyone got some idears?
October 23rd, 2005 » 6:21 pm
I don’t know how to do it, but I think you be much better if each page was loaded individually.
Is it possible?
October 25th, 2005 » 2:40 am
Hello, it’s the best source i’ve never seen… thank you.. but, but, there is just one defect : This application is very very good but if you put this on line with a lots of page, you’ve got a loading who is too long… i would like to use your script with separate loading by page… in your script if I delete the loading, the application fail… :( could you help me please ?
October 25th, 2005 » 6:58 pm
Hello, does anyone found a way to load swf’s with dynamic content loaded?
October 26th, 2005 » 5:50 am
Hi, nice work! i need to load images, using XML, but, i wanna to let the images loading by itself, without a preloader, get it? like leave the images apper when they are loaded but not with a preloader… just apper one by one in order of itself load.

Hi, steve…
I ‘m so appreciated your flash source…
I just sent you a mail but there was no answer…
When I play my guestbook in page22 individually, it works good.
but in pageflip page, that is not work…
Could you share your special idea for me?
Thanks and have a great day~!
November 1st, 2005 » 6:20 am
Hi, Steve!!
I got your mail…
I tried what you said, but it was not work.
In Macc’s original version, that is work but
in dynamic version, some pages are not work,
for example, Form mail page , guestbook page, and some input text boxs are not show up…
Could you check it for me , please?
Thank you so much !!!
I really really love your source…

Hi Steve, neat work.
I am however trying to load external swf’s that need to load dynamic content, any idea on how to achieve that ?
Thanks!

Hi, Can anyone show me how to open this fla file in Flash Mx. Whenever I open it it says Unsupported File Format. And when I open it in Flash Mx 2004, it opens but suddenly what happens, It just closes the application saying Flash.exe Page fault error.
Pls if anyone explain why this happens, it could be great.
Thanks in advance!
flasher
November 3rd, 2005 » 9:49 pm
Hi Steve, Is this version of PageFlip compatible with Flash Mx? Becaz I might have problem with my Flash Mx 2004 intsallations. That’s why it might have given such “page fault error”. But if you can provide a Flash Mx version of the same FLA, I would be very gratefull to you. Thanks in advance! - Flasher
November 15th, 2005 » 1:00 pm
Hi Steve, What u did with Page Flip is really cool, and works fine for me…
There’s just One damn thing I can’t deal with….
The “gotopage” function… (I’d like to make a table of content)
I used exactly the same code and buttons than in the original template, but no success…
- AS code :
btn0.enabled = btn1.enabled = btn2.enabled = btn3.enabled = btn4.enabled = btn5.enabled = (_root.getPN(2)==_root.page);
trace(”page2 reset”);
(my table of content is on page2)
- AS on buttons (with name “btny”)
on(release) {
_root.gotoPage(y);
}
Thank you for your help !!!!

STEVE YOU RULE!
great piece of work, only thing is in cant open the .fla … I get a “unexpected file format” message in my Flash MX program. Does anyone have an idea what causes the problem?
Greatings!

congratulation for your work!!
BUT there are 2 problems :
- a link on page 3 is not only accessible on page 3 (it is normal) BUT also on PAGE 5 (it is not normal). Is there a solution to avoid this bug ?
- the program does not allow the importation of an image from an imported swf:
It is possible to import swf in the book but swf must contain all (text, image…). I.E. Swf can’t contain dynamic field. IS there a solution ??????
Thank you in advance.

Hey there, it looks great and works awesomely, just one thing… I know this sounds easy but I cant get my book to goto the front cover. I have a reset button on the last page and when you select it I want to go back to front page without initializing. With the function gotoPage(i,skip) the i references the left hand side page you wish to display, so i cant reference page 1, and if i try using 0 or “start” for the value of i that dosent work either. Please someone help me get back to my first page (from the last page).
Cheers

Awesome Script! it makes changing content a breeze! I have a question. How can I keep an animation from running until it’s page is actually opened. It seems all the animations on every page start running right from the beginning and are done before you get to that page. Thanks!!
February 15th, 2006 » 4:30 pm
Exellent :)
February 28th, 2006 » 4:40 am
Thanks for this awesome masterpiece!
take a look at this: http://www.mediamarkt.de/multimedia-prospekt/
They implemented something like page flip but with zoom function! Looks and works great.
March 3rd, 2006 » 8:58 am
Great work Steve. Does anyone have an answer to the first question? I have a contents page set up as page2, The contents are in a scrollable menu, if the menu has been scrolled up and then you move your mouse over the page corners the menu flicks back to it’s opening state, then when you move the mouse off the corner it flicks back to the state the menu had been scrolled to. Simple animations work fine and keep animating without any glitches. Is there a setting somewhere I can turn off? Regarding questions about loading dynamic content - the trick I’ve found (at least for adding text from an external text file and for loading an swf within an swf) is to make the path as though the root file (in this instance the root is ‘pageflip_v213_dynamic.swf’) was looking for the dynamic content and not the swf that the content is set up to load into. So, if you store your dynamic content (eg. ‘text.text’) in the ‘pages’ folder along with the swf page you want to load it into you have to specify the path as ‘pages/text.txt’ and not simply ‘text.txt’ It wont work when you test that individual movie but when you load the whole movie it’ll be there because the root is looking for it. Hope that makes sense.

How can I add in page navigation buttons?
March 26th, 2006 » 4:10 pm
Hi, really the script i was looking for weeks ago. Saved my life!
Only problem i got is that i must use it on a CD so i’m making it an EXE but it doesn’t work. I’ll poke it a few more times anyway.
Thanks for giving me my sleep back…
March 26th, 2006 » 5:00 pm
i nailed one of the problems for the EXE: it wasn’t reading the XML. EXE’s don’t read XML (or i can’t make them do it) so i put the XML into the fla in form of a text. Now the second problem i have is that it still doesn’t show anything. I’ll put some moviecliploaders just in case. It’s like the movie clips array isn’t loading anything into it. I’ll keep playing with it. Thanks.
March 29th, 2006 » 6:11 am
Hi Steve,
respectah!
someone asked about dyna text (and/or textfield components) in swfs.
do you know anything ’bout it?
if it’s not possible can you tell me where’s that point when it fininsh up one flip? (i couldn’t find it in the engine) - cos I would load up the fields only when the motions are absolutly stopped.
thx,

hi.
I have now big catalog in this script, 132 pages, almost every is 300~400k big (swf). Its going to be on cd, so i think thats not the problem. I would like to know how to modify it to not load all pages at begining, but gradually. Or what should i do to make it faster, now i have to wait about a 2 minutes to see pages. Its to long.
Any ideas ? please help, its very important to me.
thanks in advance, and sorry for my english.
April 8th, 2006 » 9:28 pm

Thank you for your work. I very much appreciate all the time and effort you have put into this. Hopefully I will not have to many problems or questions. I thank you for your kindness. I’m most grateful.

April 18th, 2006 » 2:03 am

April 26th, 2006 » 6:54 am
Brilliant coding! I’ve been fighting this one for ages.
Please tell me, how can I have a sentence or two of text below each page?
(It will come in via an XML feed and will be a relevant footnote to the page it accompanies.)
Thanks, Steve.

May 5th, 2006 » 3:49 pm
just wondering how one might have a simple form that posts to a php script from one of the pages and return results back? I can’t figure out why this will not work.
May 6th, 2006 » 8:59 pm
you guys are awesome,
quick question - i need to resize the movie to smaller than 800 x 600, but of course this cuts off the pages in the pageflip… im able to move the pages somewhat to the correct position by subtracting from the ph and pw values, but the pageflip now is acting funny (for example the shadow is a little off and there is a transparent glare on half the pageflip)…
long story short… is there an easy way to move the start positions of the pageflip?
May 15th, 2006 » 5:22 pm
Am I missing something?? Where do you specify to have the pages turn hard like cardboard instead of the curling corner, flimsy pages?
THANK YOU so much for making this dynamic version. Much appreciated.
May 16th, 2006 » 8:44 am
Tom, in the XML there’s an attribute on the tag called “hcover”. Set it to true and you’ll have cardboard-style covers (not the whole book).
May 19th, 2006 » 12:11 pm
Is it possible to do a spread-page animation? Instead of limited to one page?
May 25th, 2006 » 10:23 am
Hi Steve,
awseome code!
having one problem - the amount of jpegs i have in the source folder is variable. when i extended the xml to include more pages, the swf dies when there aren’t enough jpegs as specified in the xml.
any way of making it skip them if they aren’t there?
thanks so much for any help. I’m sure getting it do be dynamic was a bastard in the first place!
cheers,
James
May 26th, 2006 » 4:30 pm
If you’re having problems and not all of the pages are loading, make sure you have jpgs for the first two pages.
May 29th, 2006 » 10:22 am
Congratulation for your work !!
I would like to know if it’s possible to preload 2 or 4 pages at the beginning and after, when page flip, to preload the 2 or 4 next pages ?? Is it possible or not with you work.
Thanks
June 6th, 2006 » 5:22 am
Hey,
The dynamic page flip is great!
I was wondering, is it possible to load PDF into the pageflip?
Hoping for a reply,
Grtz!
June 8th, 2006 » 7:09 am
Is there sometihing wrong with the source FLA file? I tried opening ot with Flash MX but it says “Unexpected file format”
Please help. Thanks
June 12th, 2006 » 9:34 am
No you can’t load PDFs into this or any other Flash based object.
Go visiti macromedia.com to learn miore about what flash can and cannot load as external file types.
you can export from photoshop and illustrator to SWF however.
June 12th, 2006 » 4:24 pm
Does this not work with PNG files? I tried with PNG and got “loading 0 of 5 images” and nothing. Then changed the XML to look at JPG’s and it worked fine.
Thanks.
June 13th, 2006 » 2:37 am
Hi Folks,
i’ve needed a zoom function, so i built that function with a tricky workaround.
#include “mc_tween2.as”
//INIT
//slide1.txtFeld1._visible = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.html = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.wordWrap = true;
slide1.multiline = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.background = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
slide1.txtFeld1.htmlText = “Super Prämien - heute einen Kinder-Strandkorb”;
//
tb1.onRelease = function() {
slide1.slideTo(0,-400,0.2,”linear”,0);
slide1.scaleTo(200,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
tb2.onRelease = function() {
slide1.slideTo(-150,-400,0.2,”linear”,0);
slide1.scaleTo(200,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
tb3.onRelease = function() {
slide1.slideTo(-300,-400,0.2,”linear”,0);
slide1.scaleTo(200,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
slide1.onRelease = function() {
//slide1.txtFeld1._visible = false;
this.slideTo(0,0,0.2,”linear”,0);
this.scaleTo(100,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
now just put three button, movieclips whatever and on click you got your zoom.
But now my Problem - how do i display dynamic textfields
Greets the Bo
June 13th, 2006 » 8:25 am
Hi Tom - works with PNG files, but the SWF would have to be exported as Flash 8. Anything earlier than 8 doesn’t support dynamic loading of non-JPEG images.
June 13th, 2006 » 9:13 am
Hy,
i tryed to attach some buttons on the dynamic loaded pages, but it don’t works! I modified the setPages-function but the Pageflip only shows the button on the first page!!
Did you have any solution for this Problem??
Thanks very much…
Rack
June 20th, 2006 » 2:59 am
Hi Steve,
Great work.
I have a problem though. The individual flash pages run on the flash player very nicely. When I try to use create a web page from dreamweaver (insert>media>flash>(select a file)>…) the resulting html page does not show flash at all. Only the grey background is displayed.
The problem has come most probably becasue the reference for XML and other files is not proper.
I know the problem is trivial and solution is just around the corner but I am not able to find it.
Do you have a solution for this?
Thanks Steve for a great work.

June 20th, 2006 » 8:33 am
This is very interesting, but i appears that the xml loading feature attempts to load in ALL the images at once…shouldnt it load 1 then the next etc….a loop…have you thought of doing this so that the 1 of 10 2 of 10 indication will be more accurate.?
June 22nd, 2006 » 2:10 am
Hy, has somebody found out how to preload just 2 or 4 pages and then the next 2 or 4 pages when pagees flipping?? Please I need a little tip!!!
Thanks

Does somone have the same problem ?

Hi! Great work! I’ve got only one question. Your script loads one page after another but when one is loaded it doesn’t wait with animation for other pages to load. I tried to put stop(); at first frame of first page. Ok it doesn’t play. Now I wanted to put gotoAndPlay(2); action in frame of your script that puts all pages visible. Promlem is that I have no idea how to refer to exact page.
// sorry for my bad english
July 11th, 2006 » 12:15 pm
Hi there, really nice!
is it possible to make an Index page? like with thumbnails and then Autoflip to the Page?!
Would appreciate this

July 16th, 2006 » 3:55 pm
This book is great… I was wondering if anyone could help me make all the pages flip like the hardcover? I don’t want any page curling…
July 19th, 2006 » 7:04 am
I am using the dynamic page flip and would like to add a stopwatch (keeps track of time spent on page) to each loaded page (about 20 pages). When I run page1.swf by itself the timer works, but when I run the flip page swf the timer in page1 doesn’t run.
timer1 = 0;
onEnterFrame = function(){
currentTime = getTimer();

Hi,
thanks for the great script. It realy work fine. I think I can save a lot of time with it. Just on question. Do you have an idea, how to make a link on some of the pages? I want to put the links in the xml-file (like url=”http:www.abc.com”). If the page is marked with a link, the url should open when i click on the page. If the is no link in the xml-file (like url=”") nothing should happen.

Hi Steve,
Great script, love it…I’m trying to add in a zoom feature, but its proving to be very difficult. Do you (or anyone else) have any solutions?
Thanks,
Nellie

Hi. Great script! Just a question. Is it possible to add sound to a single page, like backgroudmusic. The music should also stop when turning the page. How would i do that?
October 24th, 2006 » 8:40 pm
Fredrik - hey, you can definitely add sound to a page. Just add it to the SWF for that page and the page flip will handle turning the music on and off when you flip by. There’s a sound object for each of the 6 pages on the stage and their volumes are lowered or raised as you flip to and from them.

Just a note to everybody, there is a version 2 of this script available. The one posted here is rather dated and lacks a lot of features I added for the most recent release.

Ok! Thank you steve!

Hi Folks,
i’ve needed a zoom function, so i built that function with a tricky workaround.
#include “mc_tween2.as”
//INIT
//slide1.txtFeld1._visible = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.html = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.wordWrap = true;
slide1.multiline = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.background = true;
slide1.txtFeld1.backgroundColor = 0xffffff;
slide1.txtFeld1.htmlText = “Super Prämien - heute einen Kinder-Strandkorb”;
//
tb1.onRelease = function() {
slide1.slideTo(0,-400,0.2,”linear”,0);
slide1.scaleTo(200,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
tb2.onRelease = function() {
slide1.slideTo(-150,-400,0.2,”linear”,0);
slide1.scaleTo(200,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
tb3.onRelease = function() {
slide1.slideTo(-300,-400,0.2,”linear”,0);
slide1.scaleTo(200,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
slide1.onRelease = function() {
//slide1.txtFeld1._visible = false;
this.slideTo(0,0,0.2,”linear”,0);
this.scaleTo(100,0.2,”linear”,0);
}
now just put three button, movieclips whatever and on click you got your zoom.
But now my Problem - how do i display dynamic textfields

can I referenziate a movie clip that is in page 8 ?
if yes , How ?
January 3rd, 2007 » 9:30 am
hey
great engine, only one problem.. when you export it for the second time it doesn’t work anymore.
for example, when you load the page flip into another swf, you unload and load it again it simply doesn’t turn the pages anymore.
does anybody know why?
January 21st, 2007 » 7:47 pm
How can i create a button to print a single page ?
January 27th, 2007 » 3:38 am
hi, I want to load a page after the previus page.. so it will be fast in Internet.. how would i do that??
February 16th, 2007 » 3:01 pm
How does one go about specifing sound in the xml file.
Thanks
February 17th, 2007 » 1:58 pm
Thanks for the engine, it’s works pretty well and very flexible. There is one thing in doubt. How to get pages show up on flash projector exe file, I’m trying to do so. but, it doesn’t show any pages on the stage (things are run well in .swf file).
And again, Big thanks to you Steve.
February 17th, 2007 » 11:41 pm
This is a really great script. Thanks for posting it Steve :)
Anyway, how can I specify the pages to be loaded? Example, I want to have an swf file to be loaded onto the first page. The sample script has the swf files loaded on the next couple of pages. I tried just rearranging the XML file but the script seems to load the JPEG file onto the first page by default.
Please help!
February 19th, 2007 » 1:48 pm
it IS great, However, i applied the script and unfortunately, it loads the pictures 6 times, each of them, so it eats my bandwidth a lot.
is there anybody else notice this? if yes, have you got the fix yet?
thx a lot
