Photo Gallery + preloader

programming flash
1

Hi,

first of all i would like to thank to **sbeener for his “photo gallery” **tutorial. I found it very useful. Now I have question for **sbeener: **is it posibble to put preloader for each photo, so if photos are little bit biger, user can see how much to load (in bytes or progress bar). I’m working on my photo gallery and I have bigger photos (50-100K). u can see demo at: www.studioconex.hr/lena.

thnx.

u load photo as external file or within the same fla? if u load it from external, why not build a preloader for the photo? if not, u might have to wait for someone else to tell u those code stuff, i just could not get my head on actionscript.

Look in the code for this line:

 loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.pArray[0], this.photo);

and remove it. (this one is loading the first picture outside all your prototypes)
Now add (at the bottom of your code):

changePhoto(0)

Now you’re calling your prototypes and the preloader;)
