Good Programing, MC.prototype, photoAlbum

(I’m working in flash 6 due to some constraints but if what I’m doing could REALLY be optimized by going to 7 then feel free to yell at me - OH, and feel free to yell at me because there is a bunch of pink - I haven’t worked on the actual layout because I’m waiting for the colors-font-realImages)

I will save space here and just post the link to the dir, swf, and fla…

Synopsis:
Images Folder and Thumbs folder directories, are read with php, passed to flash, split, and used to create loops that creates a thumbnail list and assigns button functions to load the external full size images into a movie clip.

Problems:

  1. My ‘createThumbs’ function is not part of the PhotoAlbum prototype, and I think it should be, but everytime I try and make it so, everything breaks.

2)I cannot seem to encapsulate the MC that loads the full size image into a parent clip so it can fade and whatnot. In the prototype to make the image fade in after it’s fully loaded, or slide in, or any other effect.

Thanks for any help in advance, and feel free, if you like any of my horrible code, to use it on your own.
