Help!

[samba_7]

I have a combination of Flash goodies.

1. My main site is index.swf - has 2 buttons, one of the buttons (Annuals) loads another flash file (annuals.swf) into the main *.swf file.

2. My secondary flash file (I used tutorials "Photo Gallery " from the site) loads pictures (image0.jpg) from a folder named “annuals”. The gallery should have 10 images and 2 buttons to scroll forward and back.

The problem?

Open up “annuals.swf” on it’s own and the whole dynamic loading works fine. Now, open up the “index.swf”, press the “annuals” button and it only loads “image0.jpg” - The buttons don’t appear?

Please see the files attached… because it baffles me!

Thanks.
Sam.

I’m not gaining much from your attachment, there could be some thing wrong with your layers, or your action script. It would help us to help you if you supply the .fla’s.

Sorry guys… I was up late last night and early this morning…

Here are the ‘correct files’…

I’m thinking that the problem is obviously the actionscript when loading the pictures…

Because the 2nd *.swf file is… placed within the 1st and main file… the references to the second file might be conflicting?

Either way… it needs to be sorted… I will continue reading…

So how much do i send for technical support? And to what account… ?

You should have a Donation/Paypal account… and everytime you help someone, they can offer to donate $2/3 - they all add up in the end.

Solving the problem and helping others in need is all the reward that i need, lol.

Heres the code in the main timeline:

this.pathToPics = “annuals/”;
// 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”];
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
photo.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0]);
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 = 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);
stop();

And then the two buttons:

left button:

on (release) {
changePhoto(-1);
}

right button:

on (release) {
changePhoto(1);
}
