Hi guys and Gals,
I am new to this forum and not very experienced with forums in general.
i have tried doing this a few different ways but run into problems each time.
The main issue is that half the photo’s are portrait and half are landscape.
as i have noticed most galleries I have found online only have a fixed size images and pre sized thumbnails…
the main image on the page , i can sort of manage.the code is too specific to change for 25 differen timages at the same time and calls functions that can only be accessed once. which is a problem, as …
now i want to add thumbnails , and importantly want them to be dynamic also .
this is where it get’s tricky…
as they are still a mix of portrait and landscape. so
so for the thumbnails i need to…
- import each image into an imageholder
- resize each 1
[COLOR=Red]- find the width of each imageholder - give an x and y to each imageholder that is relative to it’s center(.width/2)[/COLOR]
- then the rest should be easy
[COLOR=Red]the red writting is where i am having trouble…[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]i have tried adding listeners and trace but they all seem to say imageHolder is Zero width and Zero height[/COLOR]. no matter where i place it.
here is the code!!! just for the thumbnails part…
images would all be contained in a folder “[COLOR=Blue]1/image01.jpg[/COLOR]” ,image02… image25
all images have at least one side that is 400 pixels in length.
ie. [COLOR=Blue](266 x 400) or (400 x 266) or (400 x 400)[/COLOR]

so anyone who can help it would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
