This one has too much invloved and the Author has not covered it all in the book (or) in the code itself.
I suggest that the Author or anyone else that is going to write a tutorial on the structure of FLASH or any other programming language to make sure that you cover what everything does and how to work with all the controls that are involved within the scripts.
This not only will get people to purchase the books more, but it will also give people a better understanding of how everything is put together and hot to use the program to do exactly what they need.

Good Luck All

My question(s) (2 of them)
#1:
I need to show thumbnails that have the dimensions of: 40w / 59h
How can I make the thumb object to take on this size as well?
I have made the actual object size the dimensions, but when you run the gallery project
It does not take it, it stays the same as the default settings which is: 185 x 104
I have assigned the [Shape] to the dimensions listed above, and it takes the size.
But the [Thumb]object, will not take.
Could someone please instruct me on this issue?
Thank You

#2:
I have removed the Rollovers and removed the [onThumbClick] for displaying the larger image.
What I need to do is to have a URL to open instead of a larger image.
So that when you click on an image in the gallery it will open up a link that is assigned in the XML for that image.
Could someone please assist me with the this as well.
Thank you.

To add to this, I have been researching and looking at other codes, but everyone’s codes that i have looked at, are all different, There are so many different ways to add in the URL and links, buttons and image clicks, but nothing that I have found relates to this code.

Thank you

I’ve finished this tutorial too, was ALMOST exactly what I was looking for… I say almost only because I am trying to get in the habit of writing external classes rather than coding on the timeline. Any word on when the modularized version of this tutorial will be released?

In either case, thank you again for your book, actionsnippets.com, and this site, they have all been great resources for learning the practical applications of as3.

function onCloseDetail(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// only allow it to be closed it itas at least 90% opaque
if (detailImage.alpha>.9){
detailImage.unload();
TweenLite.to(detail,.5, {autoAlpha:0});
detailImage.unload();
detail.visible = false;
}
}
And at:function onThumbClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(detail,.5, {autoAlpha:1});
I changed it to this:
function onThumbClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
detail.visible = true;
TweenLite.to(detail,.5, {autoAlpha:1});
The second solution is that I found an old versuon of twenlite with the folder name “gs”
and with this everything worked fine without any code change.

I have the same problem and I don’t see any answer to that

I’m also saying: Any help would be profoundly appreciated. Thanks

It was staring me right in the face. I was focused so intensely on the code that I did not look closely at my library and the Thumb_mc and Border_mc were not included in my version of the “Gallery”.
