thanks for all the suggestions, y'all, this is great!
i tried reversing the order of my xml/array, but the image position in
the array determines which large image is shown in the gallery. if i
flip the array, the wrong images appear.
i'm in the midst of trying a for loop (thanks, jason, for clarifying the
backwards/forwards loops! that's one mystery solved for me.). i called
"k" from when i load the xml into flash, it's the same as "i". is there
a way to make it go up instead of down when i call it? i tried to sort
the array backwards right before thumbnails_fn, but then some of the
thumbnails show up multiple times, and some not at all. i think my
problem comes in when i use the movieClipLoader, because i'm calling
(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k) from (target_mc), right? so it's
loading the jpg's defined by the xml array one by one from the last to
the first as movieClips into thumbnail_mc instead of first to last.
learning is fun. horrifyingly, frustratingly fun. if i had the $$ i
would take a class!
i'll keep barreling forward, but in case any of you feel inspired with
more genius than me, here's the <snipped> version with (hopefully) all
the relevant info:
<snip>
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image[i] =
xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails[i] =
xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
//// here's what's being called by k
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
</snip>
<snip>
w = 0
function thumbnails_fn(k) {
thumbnail_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("t"+k,
thumbnail_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
tlistener = new Object();
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
/// place thumbs THIS IS WHAT'S MESSIN' ME UP
target_mc._x = w
w = target_mc._x + target_mc._width + 1
</snip>
<snip>
};
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k], "thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
}
</snip>
