Hullo, sorry for being another nub who needs help with something that will (hopefully) be simple to everyone else.
I’ve created a photo gallery by following the tutorial on this site but I need it to be nested in another movie. I’ve sucessfully gotten the images to show up, and an external button to “open” the gallery. However, I can’t get the buttons to work. If I put them in the movie clip that now holds the gallery, as in a movie clip that contains the movie clip for the images, the buttons don’t show up.
I’ve also tried putting them in an entirely seperate movie clip, as I’ve had to do this to get a surrounding background box to show up for the pictures, and just getting the button that opens the gallery to tell all three clips (the background movie clip, the buttons movie clip, and the picture movie clip that contains the photo movie clip) to go to the appropriate frames. This works well since everything shows up however I can’t seem to get the code in the buttons to work now.
I’ve tried:
on (release) {
_root.pic.changePhoto(-1);
}
but that doesn’t seem to do it. Can anyone tell me what the code should be for the buttons, or even give me a clue as to why none of the other layers in the movie clip labelled “pic” show up?
This is one of the last things I’m trying to get working in a large flash site and I’d rather avoid having to post the files, only because its a big mess at this point and the file size will probably be big. If necessary I will but hopefully I’ve described it well enough… thanks in advance.
Adrienne
