Hello. I recently found this site while working on a website and its come in handy. The tutorials are great and work like a charm.
That said, I would like to alter some of the code to allow the thumbnail scrollbar to begin scrolling once the page has loaded.
Here is what the code looks like as it is right now. If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated!
cliparray = [];
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
thumbnails = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");

Thanks to all who have posted on the site, it makes finding answers to questions a lot easier.
Cheers!
