Let me see if I can explain this.
I have an xml gallery that I’m making for my photo business, and I’m having a problem with the order of events firing off here.
Right now when I test my flash, there is a brief moment where I see the image resize from big to the resized format… and the fader does not work anymore.
I want for everytime I open the gallery or click on an image for the resize event to happen, have the image loaded, so that the fading I have in function checkerF can begin…
Pretty much like this:
Open gallery
Resized image fades in…
I can’t quite figure out what I’m doing wrong here…? I’m new to this and any help would be much appreciated.
Below is the full actionscript code of the Fla. file.
