hi, i’m trying to add some previous and next buttons to a gallery flash file i modified. i’d like to add buttons to the right and left of the large images so the user can advance the images without having to use the thumbnail bar. any help would be appreciated! the website is http://jameegidwitz.com. here’s my current actionscript:
//set stage background color
myColor = new Color(bgColor);
myColor.setRGB(“0xffffff”);
bg._alpha=0;
//The following is for general settings:
_root.originThumbnailX = mc_thumbnail._x;
var generalXML:XML = new XML();
generalXML.ignoreWhite = true;
generalXML.load(“general.xml”);
generalXML.onLoad = loadGeneralXML;
function loadGeneralXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
theRootNode = this.firstChild;
_root.largeImageEffect = theRootNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
var backgroundImage:String = theRootNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
if (backgroundImage.toUpperCase() == “ON”) {
bg._alpha=100;
}
var backgroundColor:String = theRootNode.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
//set stage background color
myColor = new Color(bgColor);
myColor.setRGB(“0x”+backgroundColor);
}
}
// The following is for the categories:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load(“category.xml”);
myXML.onLoad = loadXML;
var catBtns:Array = Array();
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
rootNode = this.firstChild;
_root.numberOfItem = rootNode.firstChild.childNodes.length;
verticalDistance = rootNode.lastChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
for (var i = 0; i<_root.numberOfItem; i++) {
menuList.categoryAll.m_category.btn.duplicateMovieClip(“btn”+i, i);
_root.main.menuList.categoryAll.m_category[“btn”+i].theText = rootNode.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
