Photo gallery

1

Hi guys,

Here is the problem. I have decided to build my own XML gallery. The flash loops through, checks how many images there are and duplicates a movie clip
to match the amount of photos on that page. The duplicated mc’s are given the names “hello”+z, but when trying to load the images they dont want to load(please note, I have taken the code that loads the dynamic images out).

When i trace “hello”+z, it gives me an undefined, and I believe this is where the problem is. Can anyone tell me y?

Here is the code:

//builds an array for the amount of XML nodes

function loadXML(loaded) {
	
    var	arPhoto =[]
	
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;
		caption = [];
		total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
			caption* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
			arPhoto* = caption*;
			
			}
			
						
		
		//declaring the variables for the x and y coordinates
		var movie_clip = i;
		var myX = -176.5;
		var myY = -122.2;
		
		for(z=0; z<i; z++){
			
		//modulus(%), this checks that there are only three empty movie clips in a row. Sets the position of the blocks,
	    //so they are nicely spaced.
			if(z%3 == 0){
				myX = 33.4;
				myY = myY + 144;
			}else{
				myX = myX + 209.9;
			}
			duplicateMovieClip("white_strokes","hello"+z,z);
			setProperty("hello"+z,_x,myX);
			setProperty("hello"+z,_y,myY);
			
			}
			
} else {
		content = "file not loaded!";
	}
trace(this["hello"+ String(z)].toString);	
}

xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("pictures.xml");
