Author: Joachim Schnier | Website: http://www.cancerinform.net/ |

Actionscript: frame 1, Loading thumbnails and function to load slides

The next two functions are to load the thumbnails and to make the thumbnail buttons functional (function showSlide).

//function to load the thumbnails
function preView (firstSlide,lastSlide,nailName) {
 clearEverything();
 //loading the thumbnails
 while (firstSlide <= lastSlide) {
 _root["nailHolder_" + firstSlide].loadMovie(nailName + firstSlide +".jpg");
 firstSlide++;
 }
 unloadMovie(slideHolder);
 // load text for preview
 loadVarsText = new loadVars();
 loadVarsText.load("preview.txt");
 loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
 if(success) {
 headline.html = true;
 headline.htmlText = this.headText;
 }else{
 trace("text not loaded");
 }
 }
}
//function for each thumbnail button to load slide into slideholder.
//This function is attached to thumbnail buttons. Each slidenumber has
//to be set individually. See the invbox actions for details.
function showSlide (slideNumber,slideName,slideText,lastSlide) {
 clearEverything();
 _root.slideHolder.unloadMovie();
 _root.slideHolder.loadMovie(slideName + slideNumber + ".jpg");
 newText = (slideText + slideNumber + ".txt");
 loadVarsText = new loadVars();
 loadVarsText.load(newText);
 loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
 if(success) {
 scroller.html = true;
 scroller.htmlText = this.myText;
 }else{
 trace("not loaded");
 }
 }
 //This is to hide the slideshow right and left buttons.
 _root.rightBut._visible = false;
 _root.leftBut._visible = false;
