I’ve had some help building this image viewer in flash. it uses xml to manage the images and caption text.

The problem i’m having is I need to make the (download pdf) a working link, at the moment it is just text. the guy that helped me is on holiday so I’m stuck!

you can see it working at: [http://www.danielatkinson.com/test/](http://www.danielatkinson.com/test/)

thanks.

the xml file is as follows…(x20 lines)  
\<images\>  
\<image img=“images/large/test\_1.jpg” thumb=“images/sml/test\_t1.jpg” caption=“download pdf”/\>

the action script in frame 1 looks like this…

stop();  
var stageWidth:Number = Stage.width+320;  
var preloadNum = Math.round(Math.floor(stageWidth/84))  
var loadArray:Array = new Array()  
var listArray:Array = new Array()  
var numImages:Number  
var menuWidth:Number  
var init:Boolean = false;  
var currentLoad:Number = 0  
\_global.selectDisabled = true;

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“images”,10);  
images.\_y = 132;  
images.\_x = 335;  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“menu”,20);  
menu.\_y = 564;  
menu.\_x = 0;  
menu.createEmptyMovieClip(“menu1”,1);  
menu.menu1.\_x = 593;  
menu.createEmptyMovieClip(“menu2”,2);

myXML = new XML();  
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;  
myXML.onLoad = function(success)  
{  
if(success)  
{  
var xPos = 0;  
numImages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;  
menuWidth = numImages\*84;

```
    for(x=0;x&lt;this.firstChild.childNodes.length;x++)
    {
        listArray.push(x);

    }
    
    for(x=0;x&lt;this.firstChild.childNodes.length;x++)

        if(x%2)
        {
            loadArray.push(listArray[listArray.length-1]);
            listArray.pop();
        }
        else
        {
            loadArray.push(listArray[0]);
            listArray.splice(0,1)
        }
    }
     
    for(x=0;x&lt;this.firstChild.childNodes.length;x++)
    {

        menu.menu1.attachMovie("thumb","thumb"+x,x+1);

        menu.menu2["thumb"+x].iPos = x;
        xPos += 84;
    }
    
    
    loadImage()
