my first post - just found this great site!

like many others here i’ve done a photo gallery follwing [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm) and called it “g2002newyork g02.swf”. everything works perfectly as long as i run the file alone. now once i load “g2002newyork g02.swf” into the main movie (v612.swf) it keeps returning a continuous “NaN” error (“not a number”). all i see are the “next” and “previous” buttons which seem to be working ok. it just doesnt seem to load the images.

if you wanna have a look at it, i have the thing running on [www.schilt.net/indextest.htm](http://www.schilt.net/indextest.htm) (click on “theworldthroughmyeyes” \> “the adventures of” \> “new york” (button no. 7 from the left). with your mouse roll over the area underneath the buttons and you will see the roll over effect for the “next”/“previous” buttons.

i’ve read many threads to similar problems, but none of them would solve this one. i’m lost. i just dont get why those images wouldnt load… :h: thanks for any help!

here’s the code i have on the main timeline of the main movie:

b7.onRelease = function () {  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”, 1);  
loadMovie(“g2002newyork/g2002newyork g02.swf”, “container”);  
container.\_x = 332 ;  
container.\_y = 98 ;  
}

and this is the code i have in the gallery movie:

//Code written by sbeener (suprabeener)

i wrote this code, but you can use and abuse it however you like.  
the methods are defined in the order which they occur to make it
