Image viewer

Ok,
everybody has seen those fancy image galleries that preload and show thumbnails and smoothly autoresize depending on the picture’s size.

I’ve tried to search here and there on the forum but I can’t find some kind of step by step lesson… Or at least a simple simple FLA that I can, after learning from it, recreate and make better with animations & co.

what I’d love to know:

-how to make single thumbnail image have a preload (for example 20 thumbnails shown and everyone has its indipendent thumbnail preload, how can I do it?)

-how to interface smartly images/folders with Flash through XML (that’s quite easy but I’m still confused with strings in flash :frowning: )

-how then to preload the opened image (quite similar to point one)

if anyone has some “lesson” or would like to discuss about these things on this page it would be nice.
Thanks,

b°k
