Im gonna make an image gallery that loads thumbnails 1.jpg, 2.jpg 3.jpg…etc… into thumbnail mc’s it creates, and when it gets to a number of a file that doesnt exist i want it to stop making thumbnail mc’s. What AS could i use. As of right now it trys to load the jpg that doesnt exist and the preloader keeps going forever.
