Hello Guys!!

Just a very quick questions and request for help…

Regrading the XML & Flash photogallery on this website… is there an another way of declaring the functions for next and previous image??

the tutorial works fine, but i was just wondering if there is any other way of doing this…

can some one suggest alternative ways…

here is the code for the functions from the tutorial:

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();

Many Thanks.

E

Your question is rather vague. There are dozens of ways to solve any programming problem. What is it specifically you want to understand or do?
