Hi There,

I am currently setting up a simple photo gallery using the Loader component with Flash 8, it works fine if I run the code from a button but if I try to use the code on a MovieClip nothing happens. I was hoping there was a really easy solution to this that I must be overlooking. If someone could look at my code and give me any pointers that would be awesome.

Here it goes:

[COLOR=navy]on (rollOver) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(“mouse\_over”);  
}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy] on (rollOut) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(“mouse\_out”);  
}[/COLOR]

[COLOR=navy]on (release) {  
myLoader.contentPath = “Images/lrg/TTC-Hillcrest02.jpg”;  
}[/COLOR]

Thanks again for any help  
Red

Boy do I feel stupid - I knew it was something simple - I needed to point to the root timeline where myLoader is:

[COLOR=navy]on (release) {  
[COLOR=red]\_root.[/COLOR]myLoader.contentPath = “Images/lrg/TTC-Hillcrest02.jpg”;  
}[/COLOR]
