Oh, thanks guys.

Now for a tougher question. I am trying to load .png files from the XML document. I need them for the thumbnail images, which are rounded/anti-aliased on one side (hence the PNG format).

Is this possible to do? When I try it, the thumbnails donā€™t load. I just simply changed the file name in the XML document. Am I just forgetting something? It should work.

Any thoughts?

If youā€™re using versions below 8 itā€™s not possibleā€¦

Sweet! I just changed the Publish settings and it works. Thanks again.

I have yet another question. I have been working with V3_thnmbs_slideshow and am trying to get text to display on top of the image buttons that are generated. In looking below you will see that I have built a string and assigned it to ā€œth_nav.imageLabel.textā€. As you can tell, the dynamic text box is called imageLabel and is placed within the thumb_nav symbol. You will also see that I have traced the value out.

But what happens is the dynamic text box is only viewable in the first button (which is the visible one on stage in the working view) and it says image 5. I am assuming the values are all getting assigned to the text box but just flip through to quickly to see. How do I get the dynamic text box to shoup for each of the buttons drawn, not just the first?

function makeButtons() {
	tnNr = 0;
	clearInterval(delay);
	for (var i = 0; i<tArray.length; i++) {
		var thb = th_nav.thmb.duplicateMovieClip("thmb"+i, 1000+i);
		thb.id = i;
		th_nav.imageLabel.text = "image " + (thb.id + 1);
		thb._y = Math.floor(-i)*26;
		trace (th_nav.imageLabel.text);
	}
	loadButtons();
}

Have you tried

th_nav.imageLabel.text = "image " + (i + 1);

?

Oh, yeahā€¦ thatā€™ll work too. But at this point, Iā€™m still trying to figure out in what function (or at what point in a function) I should be placingā€¦ something to get this ā€œimageLabelā€ value to get drawn to the screen along with the actual thumbnail image.

In other words, I have an incrementing value (image 1 and image 2 etc.) but how do I get these to display with/ontop the buttons as they are displayed?

I added this line of code ā€œth_nav.imageLabel._y = Math.floor(-i)*26;ā€ as seen below.

Hear is what I just tried.

function makeButtons() {
	tnNr = 0;
	clearInterval(delay);
	for (var i = 0; i<tArray.length; i++) {
		var thb = th_nav.thmb.duplicateMovieClip("thmb"+i, 1000+i);
		thb.id = i;
		th_nav.imageLabel.text = "image " + (i + 1);
		// thb._x = i%3*50;
		// thb._x = i;
		// thb._y = Math.floor(i/3)*50;
		thb._y = Math.floor(-i)*26;
		th_nav.imageLabel._y = Math.floor(-i)*26;
		trace (th_nav.imageLabel.text);
	}
	loadButtons();
}

The result is one label (and only one) that gets moved to each new thumbnail button as they get drawn to the screen. I am getting closer but I need that label to stay on each button. Am I trying this in the wrong function?

Put the label inside the thumb and position it

function makeButtons() {
	tnNr = 0;
	clearInterval(delay);
	for (var i = 0; i<tArray.length; i++) {
		var thb = th_nav.thmb.duplicateMovieClip("thmb"+i, 1000+i);
		thb.id = i;
		thb.imageLabel.text = "image "+(i+1);
		thb._y = -(i*26);
	}
	loadButtons();
}

This has been a really enlightening thread. I have been able to use almost all of the code here and it has been very helpful. However, I have an issue that is totally frustrating me. I am trying to have more than one resizable border changing at the same time to show 2 different pictures at the same time when you click the same button. It seems however that the code for one cancels the other out, so that only one of the mcs resizes and loads the next image. Any ideas why this may be happening?

on your buttons

on (release) {
	loadPic("pic2.jpg", "pic3.jpg");
}

and

on(release){
	loadPic("pic1.jpg","pic4.jpg");
	
	}

remove all the code in the second layer of your main timeline
change the first layer code to

spacing = 10;
container2MC._alpha = 0;
containerMC._alpha = 0;
 function loadPic(pic1,pic2){
	 trace(pic1)
	_root.container2MC._alpha = 0;
	_root.containerMC._alpha = 0;
	containerMC.loadMovie(pic1);
	container2MC.loadMovie(pic2);
	_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
		if(containerMC._width && container2MC._width){
			var w2 = container2MC._width + spacing, h2 = container2MC._height + spacing;
			border2.resizeMe(w2, h2,container2MC);
			var w = containerMC._width + spacing, h = containerMC._height + spacing;
			border.resizeMe(w, h,containerMC);
			delete _root.onEnterFrame;
		}
	}
};
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h,clip){
	var speed = 3;
	this.onEnterFrame = function(){
		this._width += (w - this._width)/speed;
		this._height += (h - this._height)/speed;
		if( Math.abs(this._width-w)<1){
			this._width = w;
			this._height = h;
			clip._x = this._x - this._width/2 + spacing/2;
			clip._y = this._y - this._height/2 + spacing/2;
			clip._alpha = 100;
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	}
};
