Ok so I’ve been using kirupa’s slideshow tutorial ( http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm ) and I’ve run into a small hassle.
Since I’m sticking my gallery on a portfolio cd, and not the web, I had to change the <image> tag in the XML to <src> in order for it to find the pic on my drive instead of on the web. Everything works 100% except for when it reaches pic 7 (JPG is not progressive) of 13, it just doesnt show it and carries on fine from pic 8. Now the original XML file from the tutorial only had 7 pics and I’m thinking this has something to do with it. I looked through the code to see if I could find something, but didnt see anything.
Any ideas?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<pic>
<src>animation\page1.jpg</src>
<caption>whatever</caption>
</pic>
<pic>
<src>animation\page2.jpg</src>
