Hey,
I’m trying to implement a photo gallery by following Kirupa’s great tutorial, except I’m trying to re-make the interface to better suit my site’s color scheme. I’ve successfully managed to recreate the dynamic text fields, which work fine with the data loaded from the XML, but I’m having trouble getting my images to load. I got rid of the preloader (for the time being, to simplify the project a bit), and simply created an empty movie clip, which is a symbol in my library. I named the instance of the movie clip “picture” in accordance with the tutorial, and specified a height and width via actionscript (using relative targeting). However, no pictures are ever visible in my movie clip. The counter/total increments and decrements correctly, and the captions load correctly as well. Also, I’ve checked and verified the XML several times, and it appears to be fine - I’m using the absolute URL (http://…) in the XML to address my pictures, and I still get no image. Does anyone have any insight or ideas on the topic? My sites URL (and the URL to my photos in the XML) is not a www address, which I thought might be part of the problem, but at this point I’m not really sure. If anyone who has successfully recreated this could tell me if there is anything special that must be done with the movie clip, or if anyone has any ideas/suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Justin
