Okay, so, I’m pretty new to Flash, and I’ve been trying to fool around with a website template and I tried to add a photo gallery to it using the thumbnails tutorial. I browsed around the forum for a few minutes looking for anything related to this, but I didn’t see anything specifically related. Granted, I didn’t look very hard, but, here goes anyway.
I started off by heading to the movie clip that I wanted the gallery to appear inside (it’s a rather complex template) and creating a new clip inside it, calling it Thumbnails_layer (despite it not, in fact, being a layer…).
Once I did that, I went into the new movie clip and copied and pasted all of the layers and code from the FLA that the tutorial had just helped me make. I deleted the colored backgrounds of some things, but nothing else.
The completed .fla from the tutorial worked perfectly, but when I tried to move everything into my other file, everything but the scrolling worked.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
I tried simply putting “thumbnail_mc._x += scroll_speed” outside of any conditionals in the scroller function, and it moved over every time I hovered on a picture, so I think that rules out naming conflicts…
I tried putting while()s containing “thumbnail_mc._x += 10” within on(mouseOver)s within the hit_left and hit_right clips’ actions.
I tried putting “thumbnail_mc._x += 10” within new buttons created in the same layer as thumbnail_mc.
Ideas? Help?
