i have recently made an image gallery…i made it using the action actionscript which Kuripa provides on the tutorials…(yes i’m a beginner incase you wondering, but we gotta all start somewhere)…well, i done everything right its just when i preview, test the movie, the “output” window pops up readin this: Error opening URL [file:///E:\li\ics4fla/biggie.jpg](file:///E:\li\ics4fla/biggie.jpg)
however when i check my script everything seems to be ok…
Any suggestion where i need to check or that i’ve gone wrong…
It is usually helpful on these forums to post the original FLA. Sometimes the problem you have is not encomassed in your description because you don’t know what to look for (how to debug) so if you give someone else a chance to take a look at it, we can probably pick it up quicker.
If the path you want is “E:\eli\pics4fla\biggie.jpg” than write “E:\eli\pics4fla\biggie.jpg”.
“\” is an escape character used to escape the character it trails. This is very useful if you want to have quotes inside your string as trace(“I said “blah””) would have errors, however, trace(“I said \“blah\””) would not. This means though that if you are wanting the backslash to appear in your string you need to escape it by putting a backslash in front of it.
