I need help what my photo gallery…here is the action script so far…
* * *
this.pathToPics = “[http://www.members.cox.net/twistedkyle/pics/](http://www.members.cox.net/twistedkyle/pics/)”;
this.pArray = [“1.JPEG”, “2.JPEG”, “3.JPEG”, “4.JPEG”, “5.JPEG”, “6.JPEG”];
this.fadeSpeed = 20;
this.pIndex = 1;
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[+1], \_root.photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
if (this.pIndex\<0) {
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.photo.\_alpha\>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo.\_alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var p = \_root.photo;
// ------------------------------------------
p.\_alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
if (t\>0 && t == l) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
} else {
trace(l/t);
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this.photo.\_alpha\<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo.\_alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.photo.\_alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
this.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
this.changePhoto(-1);
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
this.changePhoto(1);
}
};
Key.addListener(this);

maybe where you have this…
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
put:
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut();
and also do that where you have fadeIn…put the parenthesis after the name of the function.

jubb, no brackets in that case. brackets make the function execute, and we just want to point to it, not execute it.
you are pressing the arrow keys to change the pics right?
change this:
```auto
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var p = _root.photo;
// ------------------------------------------
```
to this:
```auto
var p = this.createEmptyMovieClip("photo",0);
```
and remove any clips that you’ve created by hand that may interfere.

```auto
this.pathToPics = "http://www.members.cox.net/twistedkyle/pics/";
this.pArray = ["1.JPEG", "2.JPEG", "3.JPEG", "4.JPEG", "5.JPEG", "6.JPEG"];
this.fadeSpeed = 20;
this.pIndex = 1;
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[1], _root.photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
if (this.pIndex<0) {
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
var p = this.createEmptyMovieClip("photo",0);
p._alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
if (t>0 && t == l) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
} else {
trace(l/t);
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.photo._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
this.onKeyDown = function() {
