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  
for (var i = 0; i\<gallery.childNodes.length; i++) {  
tArray.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.title);  
t2Array.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.medium);  
t3Array.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.date);  
t4Array.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.plate);  
t5Array.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.series);  
t6Array.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.paper);  
pArray.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.source);  
thumbArray.push(gallery.childNodes\*.attributes.thumb);  
}  
// 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 loading the first picture  
delay = setInterval(loadFirst, 100);  
//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 {  
persentage.text = “Error!”;  
}  
};  
//function for loading the first picture  
function loadFirst() {  
clearInterval(delay);  
//0 is the first pic in the array  
containerMC.loadPic(0);  
}  
gallery\_xml.load(“barcelona/gallery.xml”);  
prevb.onRelease = function() {  
//cur == 0 ;-))  
if (cur == 0) {  
containerMC.loadPic(pArray.length-1);  
} else {  
containerMC.loadPic(cur-1);  
}  
};  
nextb.onRelease = function() {  
if (cur == pArray.length-1) {  
//loadPic(0)!!! ;-)))  
containerMC.loadPic(0);  
} else {  
containerMC.loadPic(cur+1);  
}

Needed another variable, ie “pathTO”, then added that to the loadMovie function.

stop();  
spacing = 10;  
bar.\_visible = false;  
pathTo = ‘images/barcelona/’;  
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();  
var curArray = new Array();  
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) {  
containerMC.\_alpha = 0;  
cur = pic;

```
this.loadMovie(pathTo+pArray[pic]);
```

Hey invisiable7 could you possibly post the fla for that…im having truble understanding it, cause im in need of a gallery aswell but nothing seems to work, i want to make something dynamic, just add photos to a folder and tell flash to just take each on in the folder and load them each in their respected places on the main movie…?

this is the thread that should answer most questions+ a variety of prototype downloads, but if you want your images to load in diff. places all at once your going to need to do something else. What I’ve got is a gallery page that has a click through and a thumbnail scroller to select images.
