var thumb_spacing = 40;
// load variables object to handle loading of text
var description_lv = new LoadVars();
description_lv.onData = function(raw_text){
description_txt.text = raw_text;
}
function GeneratePortfolio(portfolio_xml){
var portfolioPictures = portfolio_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < portfolioPictures.length; i++){
var currentPicture = portfolioPictures*;

var currentThumb_mc = menu_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“thumbnail_mc”+i,i);
currentThumb_mc._x = i * thumb_spacing;

currentThumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(“thumb_container”,0);
currentThumb_mc.thumb_container.loadMovie(currentPicture.attributes.thumb);

currentThumb_mc.title = currentPicture.attributes.title;
currentThumb_mc.image = currentPicture.attributes.image;
currentThumb_mc.description = currentPicture.attributes.description;

currentThumb_mc.onRollOver = currentThumb_mc.onDragOver = function(){
info_txt.text = this.title;
}
currentThumb_mc.onRollOut = currentThumb_mc.onDragOut = function(){
info_txt.text = “”;
}
currentThumb_mc.onRelease = function(){
image_mc.loadMovie(this.image);
description_lv.load(this.description);
}
}
}
function loadTheImage (e):void {
TransitionManager.start(image_mc, {type:Wipe, direction:Transition.IN, duration:3, easing:None.easeNone, startPoint:1});
}
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE,loadTheImage);
// xml object for xml content (defines sources for selections)
var portfolio_xml = new XML();
portfolio_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
portfolio_xml.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) GeneratePortfolio(this);
else trace(“Error loading XML file”); // no success? trace error (wont be seen on web)
}
// load
portfolio_xml.load(“portfolio.xml”);

at a wild guess, Intialised is when you want it not complete

loadClip is better than loadMovie for this sort of thing as it has own listerner

huh? im not that great with xml, actually i suck, could u show me what I would have to change?

reaches for suicide pill

from the code you want a button which loads an image with a transistion effect on it

nothing to do with xml really,

as long as the images load :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

you load them with loadClip(), and when its “Int’d” you run your tween effect
