I tried using the tutorial here for creating a photo gallery using a folder and flash reads them and “imports” them into the swf. however for some reason i cannot get this to work.

Is there an simplier one around anywhere for a moron like me?

Thanks, Roman

ok ok, thanks for bearing with me so far fellas,

i have it loading like half an image however only

[http://filebox.vt.edu/users/rdalicho/gallery.html](http://filebox.vt.edu/users/rdalicho/gallery.html)  
you can see what i mean.

i made the movie and clip the same size as my image, so technically shouldnt it show the whole thing? here is the code i am using:

this.pathToPics = “Pictures/Spring 2004/VDay Party/”;  
// fill this array with your pics  
this.pArray = [“IMG\_0346.JPG”, “IMG\_0347.JPG”, “IMG\_0348.JPG”, “IMG\_0349.JPG”, “IMG\_0350.JPG”, “IMG\_0351.JPG”, “IMG\_0352.JPG”, “IMG\_0353.JPG”, “IMG\_0354.JPG”, “IMG\_0355.JPG”];  
this.fadeSpeed = 20;  
this.pIndex = 0;  
// MovieClip methods ----------------------------------  
// d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number  
//loads an image automatically when you run animation  
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], this.photo);  
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {  
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length  
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;  
if (this.pIndex\<0) {  
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;  
}  
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {  
if (this.photo.\_alpha\>this.fadeSpeed) {  
this.photo.\_alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;  
} else {  
this.loadPhoto();  
}  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {  
// specify the movieclip to load images into  
var p = this.photo;  
//------------------------------------------  
p.\_alpha = 0;  
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);  
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {  
var i, l, t;  
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();  
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();  
if (t\>0 && t == l) {  
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;  
} else {  
trace(l/t);  
}  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {  
if (this.photo.\_alpha\<100-this.fadeSpeed) {  
this.photo.\_alpha += this.fadeSpeed;  
} else {  
this.photo.\_alpha = 100;  
this.onEnterFrame = null;  
}  
};  
// Actions -----------------------------------------  
// these aren’t necessary, just an example implementation  
this.onKeyDown = function() {  
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {  
this.changePhoto(-1);  
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {  
this.changePhoto(1);  
}  
};  
Key.addListener(this);

Any more insight?

Roman
