XML Gallery Help (code fix)

Hey Nate...

It ended up being just some missed function closing tags. If you'll notice, the onRelease function within the loop isn't closed.

Here is the fixed version:

Code:

---

myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
var count:Number = 0; // Variable that counts how many movieclips have rendered thus far
var yPos:Number = 0;  // Initial _y coordinate of the first row
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
        //portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
        numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
        spacing = 70;
        for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
                this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes[i];
                this.thumbHolder = thumbnails.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
                this.thumbLoader = this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
                this.thumbLoader.loadMovie(this.picHolder.attributes.thmb);
                this.thumbHolder.title = this.picHolder.attributes.title;
                this.thumbHolder.main = this.picHolder.attributes.main;
                this.thumbHolder.onRelease = function() {
                        loader.loadMovie(this.main);
                        title_txt.text = this.title;
                }
                if (count == 4) {  // if count = 4, we're at the end of the row
                        count = -1;  // reset count to 0
                        yPos = yPos + 100;  // incease the _y coordinate for the next row (100 = height of element plus padding)
                }
               
                this.thumbHolder._x = count*spacing // set _x coordinate
                this.thumbHolder._y = yPos;  // set _y coordinate
                count++; // increase count by 1
        };
};
myPhoto.load("xmlphoto.xml");

Medyman,

Thanks for taking the time and sticking with my post, your work helped me fix the issue I was having. Also your description lines made it easy for me to understand what the functions do and how to use them.

I had to change a few variables to space out the thuumbs and to run the lines vertically instead of horizontal. But the code was easy to understand and took seconds to change.

Thanks a million!

Awesome. Glad you got it working.
