Dynamic Photo Gallery Wierd Bug

I’ve developed a Dynamic Flash Photo Gallery. I used Flash MX 2004 and published the movie to Flash Player 6 AS 1. I tested it in my local machince running Win XP SP1 IE6 and Firefox and it worked fine in both. Now my client said that there are problems with it.

When a user clicks on a thumbnail it loads that thumbnail’s main image. When the user clicks on another thumbnail it shows the preloader but doesn’t load the image. When the user clicks another thumbnail it loads that thumbnail’s main image. So basically the the main image loads only during every other click.

This is the summary of the tests:

  • Windows XP - latest IE works, Netscape no
  • 3 users - Windows 2000 Pro - latest IE no, Netscape yes
  • 1 user - Windows 2000 - latest IE no, Netscape yes

I can’t figure out how to fix this problem!

Here’s the structure of my script:

  • function is called to load an array of thumbnail filenames
  • if successful another function is called to load the thumbnails one-by-one
  • when a thumbnail is click 2 functions are called simultaneously
  • one function loads the main image based on the filename of the thumbnail clicked
  • another function to retrieve that details of that image based on it’s ID number

Someone experienced this problem before? Please
help I’m really bugged!
