Put your fla in a zip file then upload the zip file here.

Pixie, I’m not sure if you have a zip utility on your comp or not, but we’ll try this anyways. I attached a empty zip folder to this post, I want you to download it and open the folder. After that, drag your file(s) into the folder and attach it to your next post here. I hope it works. :-\

Pixie, could you tell me where you got this fla from so I can look at the original source or show me the tutorial where you got it from. It would help me solve what’s wrong here.

hey electron geek, i’m not sure what ur question is, but um i made that fla file…i followed the tutorial from this site:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.asp)

i’ve tried it soooo many times STEP BY STEP…i copy and pasted all the codes correctly (or at least i think so), but anyway, the problem that i saw, was that the pictures didn’t show up when i tested the movie. …yeah so i don’t know whats wrong with it

thanx for all ur help btw

ok i went over the tutorial and you did everything correctly. After narrowing it down, I realized that your jpgs were saved as progressive which will prevent them from loading. So I opened all your images in photoshop and resaved them, but this time I unchecked the progressive option. So now it works fine. Here’s the fla. =)
