Hi

Based on tutorial for building dynamic image and text loader I have built a step by step demonstration... only trouble is it doesnt work. I have been pulling my hair out here for days and wondered if someone could take a look - perhpas see what it is I am missing

The counter doesnt work and the images dont load... attached is zip file and fla (mx 2004)

Please any help would be appreciated

thanks

i can understand why your pulling your hair. Using xml with the fistNode and child way is to my opinion way to complicated.. Their is a standard call xPath that is much more easier to work with... I have built a class that let you use xPath and im not the only one to have done so...

You can find my xPath engine there

www.benoitmeunier.com under mx2004

but if you plan to use this one i have fix a problem that is not online yet so email me and i<ll send you the new .as to replace. [email protected]

It is much more easier to use xml with xPathing. Sory i could not really help you with your file but really the way xml is use in flash make me sick. And i dont want to pull my hair on this since there is a better solution.

Hi

Thanks for your reply...

I have solved the problem and the movie now works really well

And the problem - the Jpegs were saved from photoshop with the 'Progressive' checkbox ticked...!

For some reason and perhaps someone here knows why..? loading Jpegs using this method does not work if the Jpegs are saved using a progressive format.

I know the progressive format is used for larger images to help with down load times by loading a worse to better version of your photo - perhaps this is why it doesnt work..

Anyway - perhpas this informaion might be useful to someone else - basiscally this step by step slide show works now..
