Happy New Year!!!
I’m creating a thumbnail gallery using the kirupa tutoral but with some modifications.
I’m pretty much done. Except, when I test it online, the thumbnails don’t load in any particular order and the order changes when I reload the page.
Is there a way to govern the order in which my thumbs load??
thanks in advance.
below is my actionscript:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
thumbnails = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“beauty.xml”);
