i’m using a mixture of slideshowpro, menuslide and goto()'s nice thumbnailer.
i’m trying to load an album in slideshowpro from an external thumb in a different mc. this thumb is loaded via xml.
this is some of the code from the thumbs mc
newThumb.link=root.childNodes*.attributes.link;
newThumb.albumno=root.childNodes*.attributes.albumnumber;
newThumb.cont.loadMovie(image);
newThumb.onRelease=function() {
_global.bttnLink = this.link;
_root.menuSlide(_root.contentHold[bttnLink]);
_global.albumLink = this.albumno;
_root.contentHold.content30.my_ssp.loadAlbum(xxx);
}
xxx needs to be the variable " albumnumber" loaded via the xml, not sure if i need to use the global " albumLink" or " this mc’s " albumno"
if i replace xxx with a number it works, but of course all thumbs chance to the same album… so the path is correct.
so i think it is just a case of the syntax and/or path between the brackets to load the variable ??? not sure, newbe at action script !!
i have traced both _global.albumLink and albumno from the mc with ssp in, and they show different results for each thumb.
the xml is … albumnumber=“2” etc
thanks in advance 
… this is the last but one little problem i have !!
