[SIZE=“1”]hey! sorry to be a hump…should have posted my problems earlier…  
i’ve gotten pretty far already with stalkin` and learning from other peoples posts  
on [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) and [gotoandlearn.com](http://gotoandlearn.com) (thanks!)…

for the past 2 months i’ve been trying to setup my **portfolio page** with my work…  
so i can i try to get a **design job in tokyo** … **to stay with the gf**

//trace (“sappy international love story”);🔗

but i finally ran into a dinger that’s been kickin` me in the face for the past few days…:crying:

**what i have:**

left side:  
[LIST]  
[COLOR=“SeaGreen”]  
[_]buttons looped randomly in a “rain” like motion in a for loop…  
[_]the button is a single movieClip with multiple frames inside that hold a different button…  
so with a Math.ceil (Math.random … etc) function… it picks a different button to throw in the for loop…  
[_]i’m using a hitTEST method to pass the press event to load the pic with the button…because the main button MC on the timeline also has it’s own onPress…onRollOver etc events…[/COLOR]  
[/LIST]  
 right side:  
[LIST]  
[COLOR=“Purple”][_]container resizing to display my work…similar to senoc’s tutorial on the photo gallery…  
but with added tweens…[/COLOR]  
[/LIST]

**ok i’ll just list the problems:**  
[/SIZE]  
[LIST=1]  
[SIZE=“1”][COLOR=“Red”]  
[\*]this as an external SWF movie…won’t load on my main page…

[\*]i tried to switch the \_root’s…to this…or this.\_parent…but it’s not working properly

[\*]i’m afraid my onEnterFrames are conflicting and it’s causing this stutter in the animation

[\*]it’s either that…or my FUSE doTween setup is conflicting…where the tweens  
in the for loop…and the tweens in the resizeMe and loadPic prototypes are fighting each other…

[\*]i suck at XML…and i saw so many versions of this in different threads as an XML photo gallery…but when i loaded it on the mainPage…errors pop up in the output window…[/SIZE][/COLOR]

can someone look through my code/file and school me on how to better pass code…my targeting…and how to use MovieClipLoader effectively? i’d just like to be cleaner and more efficient with my flash process…because i’m a design nerd…and a complete freak about efficiency…:sen:

plus i just want to start seeing some results and hosting this bad boy so i can have something to show! :rambo:[/SIZE]

here’s the file! [http://www.superpowerups.com/myFLA/myRainTestUpload2.fla](http://www.superpowerups.com/myFLA/myRainTestUpload2.fla)

hope someone can enlighten me like SCOTTY and SENOCULAR does…  
like it’s christmas on an episode on FAMILY MATTERS!
