First of all - this site is the BEST flash site I have come across yet. The tutorials are not only easy to understand (especially for a beginer like me), but they are useful in all types of practical applications. Much props to this site.

That said - I’m having trouble with the photo tutorial. I currently have Flash 5 and have downloaded the flash 5 version of the tutorial plus the images. However, when I preview the movie, no images appear. Yet when I preview it as an HTML only one picture will appear and the navigation doesn’t work. I have tried to make it work but I’m not having any success.

Little help:cyclops:

Hey rynogfx,  
This tutorial is coded primarily for Flash MX. Did you download the images from the Flash MX FLA link? The images are not contained within the Flash 5 files 🙂

Cheers!  
Kirupa 😛

I’ve downloaded the images, made sure the path was correct, and I don’t get any errors. Now, so far if I change the images to swf files, the image I specify in the code to originally show up upon loading - shows up. However, the navigation doesn’t work. And yes, I have the instance name “photo” for the MC that is being relaced by the incoming images.

What code needs to be changed for it to be compatible with Flash 5?

I appreciate the help - and Kirupa, this site is kick ass and a great resource for beginners and experts alike.

Thanx:cyclops:
