Quick question about dynamic images...

[Klashe]

Okay, here's the setup:

i want to make a dynamic slideshow, each slide gets it's own layer with about 5 slides per pass before I do another update.

Each of the slides are blank and are loaded at frame 1.

The update happens on frame 1 of the first layer (which is dedicated to the actions).

it seems to load ALL of the images at once (and ends up at the last one and only shows that) and doesn't move onto frame2.

Here's the actions of Frame1.

loadMovie(".\\jpg1.jpg", slide1);
loadMovie(".\\jpg2.jpg", slide2);
loadMovie(".\\jpg3.jpg", slide3);
play();

I've tried it with gotoAndPlay(2), but that doesn't work either.

Here's a quick screen shot to get an idea of my setup (excuse the gif):



Why won't it go past frame 1? Is their a problem with levels (something that i admittedly don't fully understand)?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

hello Klashe,

1. if slide1, slide2, slide3 are your movile clips and
jpg1.jpg, jpg2.jpg, jpg3.jpg are in same folder where your .fla file is,
then the code for frame1 should be
--------------------------------
loadMovie("jpg1.jpg", "slide1");
loadMovie("jpg2.jpg", "slide2");
loadMovie("jpg3.jpg", "slide3");
--------------------------------

thanks for the reply sid. The jpgs ARE in the same folder. But with my code, it was loading the jpgs and showing them, just not moving past frame 2.

With your code, it goes thru the loop but doesn't load the images.

Any ideas for the happy medium?
