Thank you! I am so grateful for this forum.
I was recently searching for a tutorial on how to create a photo gallery. Fortunately for me, I came across 3 on kirupa.com. My goal is to have the thumbnails scroll, just as in “Adding Thumbnails”.
I first followed the instructions in the “Create a Photo Gallery” – all went well, very well actually. I am new to ActionScript.
Then I completed the “Photo Gallery using XML and Flash” – all went well, completed and happy.
Then…I started the “Adding Thumbnails” tutorial and I can’t open the .fla source file, “Unexpected File Format”. Is it because I’m using Flash MX? I have all the files in a single folder as instructed. In the tutorial, it states that it is the exact same FLA as in the previous tutorial except for the extra space below the text fields. So… I used the FLA from the previous lesson and modified it. I increased the size to allow space for the thumbnails. When I test the movie, the large images appear with their captions and the counter works as well. However, there are no thumbnails. Should I have modified something else?
Any ideas on how I can save and open the FLA – thumbnail_initial.fla and thumbnail_final?
Or…do I need to modify something else in the xml_pg_final_mx?
Sincerely,
terryd
