I’ve recently been trying to adapt a Flash Flickr API gallery to suit my own needs but my code is not working as was intended.
I keep hitting a brick wall with the code - it is working to a degree but the calculations on how many thumbs to load into a ‘next’ set of pages isn’t working properly. The ‘next’ page is loading the container while taking one loaded photo away (in this example).
For example: i’ve set the below code to create 5 thumbs (column) by 2 rows (rows * columns = 10 thumbs per page). There are 12 images in total, which then creates a 2nd page. This is where the problem unfolds; when on the 2nd page, the 11th photo is being dynamically created but not the 12th…
If anyone can spot what i am doing wrong i would be very grateful…i’ve started to get coding blindness and knowing i’m just looking past the problem, i think a fresh set of eyes would be cool.
