Ok so i’ve try to use this tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml\_flash\_photogallery.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm)

I first change the layout, dimension and color of the flash file. I also edited the image.xml pointing my own picture. Then :

- when I’m in Flash and i’m hitting Ctrl-Enter (Test movie) every things fine.
- when I’m in the folder of the file and I double-click on my “gallery.swf” evety things fine.

The problem is when i try my flash from a html file. I have all the layout but no picture display. The preloader bar seems to not moving.

Is there anything I did wrong ?

my .XML files

> 

\<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?\>  
\<images\>  
\<pic\>  
\<image\>\camion\img\_0217.jpg\</image\>

\<caption\>Construction\</caption\>

my flash code:

> 

function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
image = ;  
description = ;  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {  
image\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
description\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
}  
firstImage();  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“camion.xml”);  
// ///////////////////////////////////  
listen = new Object();  
listen.onKeyDown = function() {  
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {  
prevImage();  
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {  
nextImage();  
}  
};  
Key.addListener(listen);  
previous\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
prevImage();  
};  
next\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
nextImage();  
};  
// ///////////////////////////////////  
p = 0;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();  
preloader.\_visible = true;  
if (loaded != filesize) {  
preloader.preload\_bar.\_xscale = 100\*loaded/filesize;  
} else {  
preloader.\_visible = false;  
if (picture.\_alpha\<100) {  
picture.\_alpha += 10;  
}  
}  
};  
function nextImage() {  
if (p\<(total-1)) {  
p++;  
if (loaded == filesize) {  
picture.\_alpha = 0;  
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);  
desc\_txt.text = description[p];  
picture\_num();  
}  
}  
}  
function prevImage() {  
if (p\>0) {  
p–;  
picture.\_alpha = 0;  
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);  
desc\_txt.text = description[p];  
picture\_num();  
}  
}  
function firstImage() {  
if (loaded == filesize) {  
picture.\_alpha = 0;  
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);  
desc\_txt.text = description[0];  
picture\_num();  
}  
}  
function picture\_num() {  
current\_pos = p+1;  
pos\_txt.text = current\_pos+" / "+total;  
}

just a guess but this: “\<image\>\*_\*camion_\*\*img\_0217.jpg\</image\>“  
should probably look like this”\<image\>camion/img\_0217.jpg\</image\>”

no problem 🙂 that’s the kind of thing where it’s nice to get another pair of eyes looking at it. sometimes hard to spot the obvious. 😉
