Another strange problem

OK, I have another problem with my XML driven gallery (non-Kirupa).

I have an AttachMovie line that then attaches a line of code to open up a window with the picture taken from the XML file.

Here’s my code:

// initialize variables and arrays
_root.imagesFilename = new Array();
_root.currentImage = 0;
// define functions
function pushArray() {
 _root.totalImages = objXML.firstChild.childNodes.length;
 for (var count = 0; count < _root.totalImages; count++) {
  nodeObj = objXML.firstChild.childNodes[count];
  _root.imagesFilename[count] = nodeObj.attributes.imageFilename;
  _root.imagesWidth[count] = nodeObj.attributes.imageWidth;
  _root.imagesHeight[count] = nodeObj.attributes.imageHeight;
 }
}
function loadXML(success) {
 if (success) {
  pushArray();
  showNextPics();
  _root.prevButton._visible = false;
 } else {
 }
}
function showNextPics() {
 _root.prevButton._visible = true;
 for (i=0; i < 999; i++) {
  _root["image"+i].removeMovieClip();
 }
 xpos = 0;
 ypos = 0;
 for (i=_root.currentImage; i < _root.currentImage+6; i++) {
  if (i < _root.totalImages) {
   _root.attachMovie("pictureClip","image"+i,i);
   _root["image"+i].pictureFrame.loadMovie(_root.imagesFilename*);
   _root["image"+i].pictureFrame.picNumber.text = i;
   trace(i);
   _root["image"+i].onRelease = function() {
	getURL ("JavaScript:openWin('"+_root.imagesFilename*+"','800','300')");
   }
   _root["image"+i]._x = xpos;
   _root["image"+i]._y = ypos;
   xpos += 160;
   if (xpos > 160) {
	xpos = 0;
	ypos += 110;
   }
  } else {
   _root.nextButton._visible = false;
  }
 }
 _root.currentImage += 6;
 if (i >= _root.totalImages) {
  _root.nextButton._visible = false;
 }
}
function showPrevPics() {
 _root.nextButton._visible = true;
 for (i=0; i < 999; i++) {
  _root["image"+i].removeMovieClip();
 }
 xpos = 0;
 ypos = 0;
 for (i=_root.currentImage-12; i < _root.currentImage-6; i++) {
  _root.attachMovie("pictureClip","image"+i,i);
  _root["image"+i].pictureFrame.loadMovie(_root.imagesFilename*);
  _root["image"+i].pictureFrame.picNumber.text = i;
  _root["image"+i].onRelease = function() {
	  getURL ("JavaScript:openWin('"+_root.imagesFilename*+"','800','300')");
  }
  _root["image"+i]._x = xpos;
  _root["image"+i]._y = ypos;
  xpos += 160;
  if (xpos > 160) {
   xpos = 0;
   ypos += 110;
  }
  if (i == 0) {
  _root.prevButton._visible = false;
  }
 }
 _root.currentImage -= 6;
 if (i < -1) {
  _root.prevButton._visible = false;
 }
}
// load XML doc
objXML = new XML();
objXML.onLoad = loadXML;
objXML.ignoreWhite = true;
objXML.load("imageList.xml");

The problem is, I can click on any of the pictures from the first page of six pictures and the window comes up fine with the picture but when I go to the next page (using showNextPics()), the next set of pictures come up but when I click on them, I get the old “undefined” error like it can’t find the picturename.

Has anyone got any ideas on this?

Many thanks in advance,
Dave

Anyone? This is still a big problem for me…
