XML Photo Gallery - Thumbnails remain visible always

programming flash
1

Hey,

Am using the XML Photo Gallery tutorial (with grid thumbnails) - it was a slight modification by a Kirupa user here:

I have a problem though. I have several sections that you visit from the main page, and one of these is the photo gallery. However, when I visit this page and then goto any other section of the site, the thumbnails remain visible.

For example…
Normal:

Thumbs still visible when going to other sections:

My guess is that the actionscript needs to say somewhere - hide or get rid off thumbnails when moving out of the gallery?

Here’s the code:

cliparray = ;
columns = 3;
spacex =50
spacey=50
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = ;
description = ;
thumbnails = ;
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
sload()
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
function drawSquare(clip, depth, colour, x, y, w, h) {
var mc = clip.createEmptyMovieClip(“clip”+depth, depth);
mc._x = x;
mc._y = y;
mc.lineStyle();
mc.beginFill(colour);
mc.lineTo(w, 0);
mc.lineTo(w, h);
mc.lineTo(0, h);
mc.endFill();
return mc;
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
