Hi, I need help, i certainly spent too long on this one, now smoke is coming out of my ears and my poor restricted brain needs a break.
I’m trying -hard- to do a xml as3 gallery. I’m stuck on very basic things, my questions right now are how can I remove the movieclip “gallery” when adding a new one (for a new category, works but i can’t remove the previous gallery)?
How can I access the info of my thumbnail ,created in navig(), on.CLICK ? throws error 1009, null referene object… Please help!
here is the code:
