XML image scroller - help desperately needed

programming flash
1

Hi

I’m using XML for a dynamic continuous image scroller - I’m basically duplicating the images that come in from an XML file into two identical movieclips in a horizontal line and scolls across - then when the container gets halfway across it jumps back to the beginning.

Problem is that the images seem to be loading in a different order within the two movieclips everytime. I think it must be a loading/timing/cache issue.

Can anyone help as the deadline is 25mins over!!!


var xmlPath:String = "logos.xml";

var myGalleryXML = new XML();
myGalleryXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myGalleryXML.load(xmlPath);

_global.lastpos = 0;
_global.lastpos2 = 0;
var imagenumber = 0;
var imagenumber2 = 0;

myGalleryXML.onLoad = function() {

    _root.gallery_width = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.width;
    _root.gallery_height = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.height;
    _root.gallery_y = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.y;

    _root.spacing = myGalleryXML.firstChild.attributes.spacing;

    _root.myImages = myGalleryXML.firstChild.childNodes;
    _root.myImagesTotal = _root.myImages.length;

    createContainer();
    callImages();
    masking();
    //mover();

};

function createContainer() {
    _root.myGallery_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("myGallery_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
    _root.myGallery_mc._y = _root.gallery_y;
    _root.myGallery_mc._x = 0;


}

function callImages() {

    _root.myImages_mc = _root.myGallery_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("myImages_mc", _root.myGallery_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

            imagenumber++
            if(imagenumber==_root.myImagesTotal){
            //_root.myImages_mc._width=(_root.myImages_mc._width + int(_root.spacing));
            }
