I’ve been designing the ol’ flash gallery with xml and all that good stuff. Actionscript is eating me alive at times. Would it be best to make an mc on stage and organize there, with textfields and input textfields for ordering, and then have it be usable in the library, then load the thumbnails into that? Or to do it all in actionscript?
And then page navigation is another one. Do I make the template that each page will use on the stage and then put it in the library so it’s available in AS, or do I just do it all in AS?
It seems to me it would be easier to do by using a library of MCs and then loading them instead of doing it all in actionscript. I guess I just wanted to force myself to learn a lot of AS, but now it’s getting a little overwhelming now that page navigation and the such needs to take place (kirupa used premade swf for his tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm , so I’m thinking this is the way to go. Although my stuff is a little more dynamic than this.)
Any advise would be appreciated, before I grind my teeth away. Thanks everyone.
