Hello all,
I am working on an image gallery and I have 2 questions.
#1
Whether I use createMovieClipLoader or just a MovieClipLoader I have been unable to center my images.
I have 12 thumbnails which are loaded dynamically via the loader component. Each of these thumbnail images have an onRelease function which then loads a larger image into a larger movie clip on the same stage to the side. I used to use the loader component for this image as well, but have since added a progress bar and I couldn’t make it work with that. So the problem is that I have not been able to get the larger images to center when I release the thumbnail.
I used the tutorial from Kirupa that shows how to make a progress bar for my needs [COLOR=#cc6600]http://www.kirupa.com/developer/act…ecliploader.htm[/COLOR], but it uses one image size. I am useing both landscape and portrait images for the big movie clip. This tutorial works with *createMovieClipLoader. *This is fine except, if I set the x & y coordinates the image opens from those coordinates and the portrait images are then off center.
I then manipulated the code from the previous tutorial to work with just *MovieClipLoader *which I created on the stage so that I could use the convert to symbol for access to the registration position. Athough I was able to change the registration position, I was still left with the same senario as the images were off center.
Does anyone know how to center landscape and portrait shaped images into a movie clip?

I also would like to kow if anyone knows how to make text a button for previous and next buttons? I just want text and no image or outline, mayb a drop shadow.
Thanks for your time, ~Ernie
