Well, obviously the code can’t be right… but it looks right to me…
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k, thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) { trace (k);
target_mc._x = hit_left._x + (eval("thumbnail_mc.t" + k)._width);
trace (target_mc._x);
trace(eval("thumbnail_mc.t" + k));
//target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(eval("thumbnail_mc.t"+k)._width+5)*k;
this is just a piece of the code… but this is where the error is happening…
If I remove :
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) { trace (k);
and I trace(k)… it comes out 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6… which it should… but when I have that code in it, the numbers out come out all random…
The problem is here:
target_mc._x = hit_left._x + (eval("thumbnail_mc.t" + k)._width);
it creates new thumbnail_mc’s on load according to how many are in the XML file its reading them from. they are like thumbnail_mc.t1, t2, t3 etc… k represents the numbers.
Anyway… that code should mean
target_mc._x = 0 + width of the first image…
When i trace the (eval(“thumbnail_mc.t” + k)._width) … the width is definitely correct for each thumbnail… but the target_mc._x doesn’t put it there for some reason??
they all become jumbled up in around the same spot…
Anyone know why?
