I’ve been following the Photogallery using XML and Flash tutorial on kirupa (located at http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm) but I’m having some difficulty with it.
I should mention that I’m not following the tutorial directly – I wanted to use it in another project I’m doing so I tried to recreate the interface manually. So there’s a chance that my problem could be that I didn’t recreate it perfectly, but I hope you can help me to be the judge of that.
I have two specific problems (one more major than the other), both related with the thumbnail scroller:
-
The thumbnails do not scroll when I do a rollover on the left and right boundaries. I really don’t know what to make of this, as I’m pretty sure I followed the directions (step 9 - 12, page 3) correctly.
-
When I place the thumbnailMC symbol (step 7, page 3) and try previewing the file, the thumbnails appear way past the left boundary. If “x” represents the thumbnails and “|” represents the boundary, without the mask applied the thumbnails should show up as “|xxx|xxxxx”. Instead, mine shows up like “xxx|xxx|xxxxx”.
Everything else (previous/next buttons, preloader bar, actual image) works just fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what my issue is?
