XML Gallery Help (code fix)

[Medyman]

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:

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!
