needHelp.please {

i am trying to create a player that s something like this one. It will take jpg images of strips from local folder and play.  
[http://highimpact.com/interactive-presentations/digistrip/DGS00965/](http://highimpact.com/interactive-presentations/digistrip/DGS00965/)

one like that has been created here before my time. here is the code for strips…

1. is there a way to not make it so complicated?
2. can anyone find a mistake here, it does not load strips properly…

* * *

function loadUp () {  
\_root.nav.\_x = -(\_root.clipWidth);  
\_root.butts.\_x = 0;  
duplicateMovieClip(“butn”, “butn0”, 1);  
setProperty(“butn0”, \_x, 0);  
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + “strips/strip0.jpg”, “butn0”);  
duplicateMovieClip(“butn”, “butn1”, 2);  
setProperty(“butn1”, \_x, \_root.clipWidth);  
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + “strips/strip1.jpg”, “butn1”);  
duplicateMovieClip(“butn”, “butn2”, 3);  
setProperty(“butn2”, \_x, (2 \* \_root.clipWidth));  
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + “strips/strip2.jpg”, “butn2”);  
\_root.clipNum = -(\_root.clipWidth \* 1.5)  
\_root.count = 0;  
}  
loadUp();

function mover () {  
//set up three clips  
n = \_root.count + 3;  
dup = “butn” + n;  
duper = “butn” + (n-1);  
getAway = “butn” + \_root.count;  
//if we’re not out of strips or on the first strip  
stillStrips = (n \<= \_root.tmi);  
if (stillStrips) {  
//add strip to right  
duplicateMovieClip(“butn”, dup, n +1);  
newPos = Number(getProperty(duper, \_x))+ \_root.clipWidth;  
setProperty(dup, \_x, newPos);  
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + “strips/strip” + n + “.jpg”, dup)  
}  
//remove strip to left  
removeMovieClip(getAway);  
\_root.clipNum = \_root.clipNum - \_root.clipWidth;  
\_root.count ++;  
}

function quickMover () {  
navX = getProperty(\_root.slider,\_x);  
//remove clips  
rem = \_root.count  
removeMovieClip(“butn” + rem);  
removeMovieClip(“butn” + (rem + 1));  
removeMovieClip(“butn” + (rem + 2));

```
//what percent is slider at
_root.sliderPercent = (navX - _root.sliderX)/687;
//which strip of nav
_root.tempCount = (_root.sliderPercent * _root.totalLength)/_root.clipWidth;
//move nav to new pos
_root.count = Math.floor(_root.tempCount);
_root.nav._x =((_root.sliderPercent * _root.totalLength) + _root.clipWidth) * (-1);
_root.butts._x = _root.nav._x + (_root.clipWidth - 37.2);

//set up three clips
abc = _root.count;
dup = "butn" + abc;
duplicateMovieClip("butn", dup, abc);
newPos = (abc * _root.clipWidth);
setProperty(dup, _x, newPos);
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + "strips/strip" + abc + ".jpg", dup);

abc++;
dup2 = "butn" + abc;
duplicateMovieClip("butn", dup2, abc);
newPos2 = (abc * _root.clipWidth);
setProperty(dup2, _x, newPos2);
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + "strips/strip" + abc + ".jpg", dup2);

abc++;
if (abc &lt;= _root.tmi) {
dup3 = "butn" + abc;
duplicateMovieClip("butn", dup3, abc);
newPos3 = (abc * _root.clipWidth);
setProperty(dup3, _x, newPos3);
loadMovie(mdm.Application.path + "strips/strip" + abc + ".jpg", dup3);
}
_root.clipNum = -((_root.count * _root.clipWidth) + (1.5 * _root.clipWidth));
_root.totalNavXPos = _root.nav._x;
_root.totalButXPos = _root.butts._x;
_root.nav.slider();

```

}

function slider() {  
//set slider pos  
\_root.navPosPercent = -(( \_root.nav.\_x + \_root.clipWidth)/\_root.totalLength);  
\_root.slidePos = (\_root.navPosPercent \* 687) + \_root.sliderX;  
setProperty(\_root.slider,\_x,\_root.slidePos);  
if(\_root.isCreated) {  
mdm.Forms.Controller.callFunction(“moveSlider”,\_root.slidePos,"|");  
}  
}
