written by sbeener (suprabeener)
Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 21: Syntax error.
falls within pArray.length this.pIndex =
Error Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 30: Syntax error.
to load images into var p = _root.photo;
Total ActionScript Errors: 3 Reported Errors: 3
The code i got from KIRUPA site:
//Code
written by sbeener (suprabeener)
/* i wrote this code, but you can use and abuse it however you like.
the methods are defined in the order which they occur to make it easier
to understand.
*/
// variables ------------------------------------------
// put the path to your pics here, include the slashes (ie. “pics/”)
// leave it blank if they’re in the same directory
this.pathToPics = “pictures/”;
// fill this array with your pics
this.pArray = [“image0.jpg”, “image1.jpg”, “image2.jpg”, “image3.jpg”,
“image4.jpg”, “image5.jpg”, “image6.jpg”, “image7.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], _root.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

};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() { // specify the movieclip

*******Everything (Pictures and flash file) are in the same folder called (pictures).
Thanks
