Ok I have some code that I created awhile back to load images for a website. It has since become very tedious and I’m having to restructure the site and rename hundreds of files to fit my code…
I would like to know if there is a way to read the contents of a directory and grab the names of the files and load a gallery …but I want to structure it around the following code:
But I’ve Attached the FLA.
picNamesA = ["pic1","pic2","pic3","pic4","pic5","pic6"];
picNamesB = ["pic7","pic8","pic9","pic10","pic11","pic12"];
picNamesC = ["pic13","pic14","pic15","pic16","pic17","pic18"];
picNamesD = ["pic19","pic20","pic21","pic22","pic23","pic24"];
picNamesE = ["pic25","pic26","pic27","pic28","pic29","pic30"];
picNamesF = ["pic31","pic32","pic33","pic34","pic35","pic36"];
picNamesG = ["pic37","pic38","pic39","pic40","pic41","pic42"];
picNamesH = ["pic43","pic44","pic45","pic46","pic47","pic48"];
picNamesI = ["pic49","pic50","pic51","pic52","pic53"];
picsDir = "pics/chevy/";
picsThumb = "thumbs/chevy/";
pic1();
pic2();
pic3();
pic4();
pic5();
pic6();
fbutton();
unloadMovie("_root.picholder");
function pic1() {
for(i=0; i<picNamesA.length; i++) {
mc = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container"+i, i);
trace(mc.getDepth());
mc._y = 20;
mc._x = i*55+30;
loadMovie(picsThumb+"sm_"+picNamesA*+".jpg", "container"+i);
}
for(i=0; i<picNamesA.length; i++) {
mcbutton = this.attachMovie("hidden", "hidden"+i, i+picNamesA.length);
//trace(mcbutton.getDepth());
mcbutton._y = 20;
mcbutton._x = i*55+30;
mcbutton.i = i;
mcbutton.onRelease = function() {
//trace(_root.picNamesA[this.i]);

}
}
