Hello
The code below is my code for a image gallery. The code is implemented inside a mc, called gallery. When I attach this mc on stage, it will show thumbnails dynamicly loaded from the image arrays. To load the gallery mc, I use: _root.galleryMc.attachMovie(“gallery”,“galleryAttached”,1);
I want to create a preloader for this, and I’m not sure how to do it in the best way. I want to have another mc showing (the preloader) as long as all images hasn’t loaded. I wonder how I am going to hide this gallery as long as I need. Should I make an external mc for loading and then use *gallery._visible = true *when all images has loaded?
It would be smooth if I could have the gallery and it’s preloader in the same mc though…
//image arrays, contains the imagefolder and each image in that folder
imgArray = _root.getCurrentArray();
imgFolder = _root.getCurrentImgFolder();
size = imgArray.length - 1;
_root.setImageScrollSize(size);
//load all images
loadThumb();
//load thumbnail------------------------------------
function loadThumb() {
for (i=0; i<size; i++) {
var thumb = this.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
thumb.holder = thumb.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
thumb._x = i*50;
thumb.pic = imgFolder+imgArray*;
makeThumb(thumb.holder, thumb.pic, i);
thumb.onRelease = function() {
trace("thumb "+imgArray*+" pressed");
};
}
}
function makeThumb(th, pic, depth) {
th.loadMovie(pic);
var temp = this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 999+depth);
temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (th._width>0 && th._height>0 && th.getBytesLoaded()==th.getBytesTotal()) {
//layer 'preloader'
imgLoaded("add");
th._width = 50;
th._height = 50;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}
regards, henxon
