```auto
// 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 = "";

```

When he says leave it blank, Supra doesn’t mean that you just put nothing. You have got to declare it as an empty string, that is to say “”. Hence the code I wrote. In your code, the problem is that this.pathToPics = pArray, so everything is, well, not working.
