dynmaic gallery / resizing

[mucho]

Hi All,

I'm almost certain this was down with dynmaiclally with AS http://www.softbimage.com/sbpics . I've searching the forum and several other sites to figure out ho that was done, without success.

Do you guys have ideas?

thanks for considering,

m.

seticus,

I just PM'd you (sorry for that) couldn't really get a hold of how the dynmaic cont. would work...

[Seticus]

you could place all the url's in an array and then load the images into a mc (using loadmovie)

[mucho]

you lost me ... well I get it kind of, but not really.

ps. would I have to insert the dimension of each ind./ picture as well (into the .xml file)?

[Seticus]

place all the url's in your xml-file and then load them in flash and the use loadmovie to load the picture in a mc

you can write a script to get the dimensions of the picture, but in the example of yours (softbimage) they have inserted all the dimensions in the xml-file

[mucho]

this is how i adjusted the script..but something tells me it something is royaly wrong. plus i think it would be better to insert a script that determines the dimensions, no ?!
