Quickly… I am trying to come up with a catalog under the form of a slide show. The slideshow itself is in the pocket, it works great. I want to populate each slide/page with externally loaded text files and images.
Here below… I have my piece of code to load and display my external text files. Basically, you have four buttons (b1, b2, b3, b4) that each load a different html text in one same dynamic text field named html_txt.
My problem comes with the next page, where everything is repeated again! And I have 5 pages to do like that.
I seriously need some good help to tidy my code, maybe with some intelligent array thing or case statement. At this moment, arrays are my weakness but I want to learn and master. LOL
So, please HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP! If you guys can help me figure this code out, it’ll help me for a whole series of other similar things…
Here below is the code:
