Ilyas: I check that out… it works partially. I’m tying to keep the forward, backward function and a direct click function.

here’s the code:

–  
images\_xml = new XML();  
images\_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;  
images\_xml.load(“xml/images.xml”);  
images\_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

function startImageViewer(success) {  
if (success == true) {  
rootNode = images\_xml.firstChild;  
totalImages = rootNode.childNodes.length;  
firstImageNode = rootNode.firstChild;  
currentImageNode = firstImageNode;  
currentIndex = 1;  
updateImage(firstImageNode);  
}  
}

function updateImage(newImageNode) {  
imagePath = newImageNode.attributes.imgURL;  
targetClip.loadMovie(imagePath);  
imageCount = "Viewing image " + currentIndex + " of " + totalImages;  
}

next\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
nextImageNode = currentImageNode.nextSibling;  
if (nextImageNode == null) {  
break;  
} else {  
currentIndex++;  
updateImage(nextImageNode);  
currentImageNode = nextImageNode;  
}  
};

back\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
previousImageNode = currentImageNode.previousSibling;  
if (previousImageNode == null) {  
break;  
} else {  
currentIndex–;  
currentImageNode = previousImageNode;  
updateImage(previousImageNode);  
}  
};

button01.onRelease = function() {  
previousImageNode = imageNode01;  
if (previousImageNode == null) {  
break;  
} else {  
currentIndex–;  
currentImageNode = previousImageNode;  
updateImage(previousImageNode);  
}  
};  
button02.onRelease = function() {  
nextImageNode = currentImageNode.nextSibling;  
if (nextImageNode == null) {  
break;  
} else {  
currentIndex++;  
updateImage(nextImageNode);  
currentImageNode = nextImageNode;  
}  
};

button03.onRelease = function() {  
nextImageNode = imageNode03;  
if (nextImageNode == null) {  
break;  
} else {  
currentIndex++;  
updateImage(nextImageNode);  
currentImageNode = nextImageNode;  
}  
};
