Hello!
I am attempting to run the XML Photo Gallery with Thumbnails from the tutorial, but contained within an empty movie clip of another swf. I’ve been trying to rebuild my website in Flash and I was attempting to utilize this external gallery to keep the file size down.
The Test Movie of the thumbnail_initial.swf works perfectly on its own, but the thumbnails no longer scroll when I test the website.swf that I have loaded thumbnail_initial into. I created an empty movie clip (analog_mc) and placed it where I want the gallery to load. On the page containing analog_mc (timeline path is Scene1 / siteContent / analogFrame), I have tried both of the following code in the actions layer:
analog_mc.loadMovie(“thumbnail_initial.swf”);
and
loadMovie(“thumbnail_initial.swf”, analog_mc);
[FONT=monospace]
[/FONT]I get the same result with either: the gallery loads correctly where I’ve placed the analog_mc empty movie clip, the first three thumbs appear across the bottom, the Previous and Next buttons function, but the thumbnails do not scroll. I am using Flash CS3 on Vista, my AS skills are elementary as well as my XML. I did not find any previous posts with this issue, and I’d really appreciate some input as to what I could be overlooking!
