First of all, I thought Flashkit was the bomb - I was wrong KIRUPA is the shiznit (BOMB DIGITY) the best forum. ok wooo had to get that out.
Following on Tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm
I love it i was able to figure it out, but I realized something. The counter and getting back and forth through the gallery. Say I have 200 pics and I hit next all the way to see the last pic; Instead of clicking prev all the way to number one. I was trying to add another button - that would take me all the way to 1/200.
//This code added by Pixelone to to jump right to 1/200.
function frontImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
if (p>0) {
p–;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie (image [0], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
}
The buitton works and it takes to the first image in the set, but the counter remains unchanged. So I will be at the front and the counter will say 5/200 still for thats how far I had scroll to.
Not sure if it is making sense.
Here is the entire Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
