This is it. Really!
How does one change the location that the pics are called from?
The xml path was easy for me because there is a path type that I’m familiar with – gallery_xml.load(“whateverHERE/gallery.xml”);-- but I just can’t see where to put the path to pics. I saw a path built into the xml file example I used – <gallery path=“whateverHERE/”> – but that doesn’t seem to effect anything. As it stands, the code below requires the pic’s to be in the same folder as the .swf.
spacing = 10;
bar._visible = false;
containerMC._alpha = 0;
var pArray = new Array();
var tArray = new Array();
var t2Array = new Array();
var t3Array = new Array();
var t4Array = new Array();
var t5Array = new Array();
var t6Array = new Array();
var thumbArray = new Array();
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) {
containerMC._alpha = 0;
cur = pic;
this.loadMovie(pArray[pic]);
this._parent.onEnterFrame = function() {
var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
bar._visible = true;
percentage._visible = true;
per = Math.round((l/t)*100);
if (t != 0 && Math.round(l/t) == 1 && containerMC._width != 0) {
var w = containerMC._width+spacing, h = containerMC._height+spacing;
border.resizeMe(w, h);
bar._visible = false;
percentage._visible = false;
title.text = tArray[pic];
medium.text = t2Array[pic];
date.text = t3Array[pic];
plate.text = t4Array[pic];
series.text = t5Array[pic];
paper.text = t6Array[pic];
delete this.onEnterFrame;
} else {
bar._width = per;
percentage.text = per+" % loaded";
}
};
};
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h, pic) {
var speed = 3;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
if (Math.abs(this._width-w)<1 && Math.abs(this._height-h)<1) {
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
containerMC._x = this._x-this._width/2+spacing/2;
containerMC._y = this._y-this._height/2+spacing/2;
containerMC._alpha += 5;
if (containerMC._alpha>90) {
containerMC._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
};
var gallery_xml = new XML();
gallery_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
gallery_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var gallery = this.firstChild;
//you had here i=-1;etc it should zero, cause xml(childnodes) are like arrays zerobased

// it takes a little time before the arrays are set, so we need an interval
//to be sure that the arrays are defined

//interval for duplicating the thumbs, the id is global,
//so it can be easy reset in scrll
_global.idsetTh = setInterval(dragwindow.scrll, “setThumbs”, 100);
//interval for loading the thumb pictures
_global.idloTh = setInterval(dragwindow.scrll, “lothmb”, 100, 0);
} else {

};
//function for loading the first picture
