So instead of trying to post an .swf within an .swf I have tried just copying the 3 frames from the gallery file into one keyframe on my main movie timeline. It’s working, except for when I use the arrows to toggle through the photos. Once I hit the toggle arrows…a screen pops up that just keeps repeating NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN…obviously, it’s very annoying. When I go into the keyframe and test the gallery just within the keyframe…everything works fine…every now and then I’ll get a 0 that pops up in the same window that NaN did, but it won’t stop the gallery. I’d really like your help with this, I feel like I’m so close. The code I have for the gallery is as follows:
/*
i wrote this code, but you can use and abuse it however you like.
the methods are defined in the order which they occur to make it
easier to understand.
*/
// variables ------------------------------------------
// put the path to your pics here, include the slashes (ie. “pics/”)
// leave it blank if they’re in the same directory
this.pathToPics = “pics2/”;
// fill this array with your pics
this.pArray = [“1.jpg”, “2.jpg”, “3.jpg”, “4.jpg”, “5.jpg”, “6.jpg”, “7.jpg”, “8.jpg”, “9.jpg”];
this.fadeSpeed = 20;
this.pIndex = 0;
// MovieClip methods ----------------------------------
// d=direction; should 1 or -1 but can be any number
//loads an image automatically when you run animation
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[1], photo);
MovieClip.prototype.changePhoto = function(d) {
// make sure pIndex falls within pArray.length
this.pIndex = (this.pIndex+d)%this.pArray.length;
if (this.pIndex<0) {
this.pIndex += this.pArray.length;
}
this.onEnterFrame = fadeOut;
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeOut = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha>this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha -= this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.loadPhoto();
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPhoto = function() {
// specify the movieclip to load images into
var p = photo;
//------------------------------------------
p._alpha = 0;
p.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[this.pIndex]);
this.onEnterFrame = loadMeter;
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadMeter = function() {
var i, l, t;
l = this.photo.getBytesLoaded();
t = this.photo.getBytesTotal();
if (t>0 && t == l) {
this.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
} else {
trace(l/t);
}
};
MovieClip.prototype.fadeIn = function() {
if (this.photo._alpha<100-this.fadeSpeed) {
this.photo._alpha += this.fadeSpeed;
} else {
this.photo._alpha = 100;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
// Actions -----------------------------------------
// these aren’t necessary, just an example implementation
this.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
this.changePhoto(-1);
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
this.changePhoto(1);
}
};
Key.addListener(this);
This code was taken from a Kirupa tutorial on how to make a gallery (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm). The only part of the code I really changed was taking off “_root” from “_root.photo” in a couple of places…because it wasn’t pulling my images. After I did that, it would successfully load the first image. PLEASE help
