When i have a picture load i want to have a caption associated with that picture, but i’m not sure how to do that, without making my code hideously long
You mean you are loading images dynamically? Or simply loading with the loadMovie action (loadMovie(“picture.jpeg”, _root.pictureHolder)
Three things I can suggest:
-
Add your caption to the picture file
-
Make movieclips of all your captions and tell each one to become visible when the image loads. Set their _visible property to false until you select the funtion that loads the image.
-
Make your images .swfs and use the loadMovie action. Insert your caption into the swf where you have dumped the picture.
