Heya! I was hoping someone will help me with my problem… i have posted on this forums trying to change a gallery that reads xml file to one that reads txt files and that also has a preloader and centrally resizes automatically. since i got no replies i tried and finally after a few months managed to get it to read txt files. unfortunately, i have realised that i require the gallery to read data from a php file and not a txt file because i dont have the permissions to create a txt file and edit it on the server. so could anyone help me convert my actionscript so it reads from a php file? here are my codes:
spacing = 10;
//photo._alpha = 0;
pArray = new Array();
loadArray = new LoadVars();
loadArray.load("imageList.txt");
loadArray.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
pArray = this.myImages.split(",");
changePhoto(0);//added this one
}
};

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.fadeSpeed = 20;
this.pIndex = 0;

Key.addListener(this);
and my text file has this:
myImages=image0.jpg,image1.jpg,image2.jpg,image3.jpg,image4.jpg,image5.jpg,image6.jpg,image7.jpg,image8.jpg,image9.jpg,image10.jpg
hope you can help… i really need this badly and any advice would go a long way.
thanks in advance:beer:
