here is my .fla action script and the pictures aren’t showing up. can anyone help me as to why? i followed this tutorial (somewhat) and had a friend build me a template. all i had to do was fix some little things she added that i didn’t need. now it won’t even work!..PLEASE! i have 2 hours to get this delivered to my client!

thank you for all your help!

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  
easier to understand.  
\*/  
// variables ------------------------------------------  
// put the path to your pics here, include the slashes (ie. “pics/”)  
// leave it blank if they’re in the same directory  
this.pathToPics = “”;  
// fill this array with your pics  
this.pArray = [“image0.jpg”, “image1.jpg”, “image2.jpg”, “image3.jpg”, “image4.jpg”, “image5.jpg”, “image6.jpg”, “image7.jpg”, “image8.jpg”, “image9.jpg”, “image10.jpg”, “image11.jpg”, “image12.jpg”, “image3.jpg”, “image4.jpg”, “image15.jpg”, “image16.jpg”];  
this.fadeSpeed = 20;  
this.pIndex = 0;  
// MovieClip methods ----------------------------------  
// d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number  
//loads an image automatically when you run animation  
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], \_root.photo);  
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {  
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length  
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;  
}  
};  
// Actions -----------------------------------------  
// these aren’t necessary, just an example implementation  
this.onKeyDown = function() {  
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {  
this.changePhoto(-1);  
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {  
this.changePhoto(1);  
}  
};  
Key.addListener(this);

why don’t you zip the .fla and post it here?

May be easier to see what is (or isn’t) happening.

Did you use as standalone?  
If not, change the “\_root.photo” (there are two of it in the code) in “this.photo”  
🙂
