photo gallery tutorial

Hi I am playing with the tutorial from http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

I am using flash 5. I download the code for flash5, and extract the image files from flash mx, then place them under the dir animation.

I have problem with getting it to work! I am also play with the "pathToPics", make sure it point to the right dir.

Can anyone tell what is wrong with this example? or where have I done wrong? How to debug into the action code?

Thanks.

So how do I debug the code to eliminate what is support in in f5, and what is not. It would be nice if you could convert the fmx into f5 for me. My knowledge on flash is very little (just start). so please place more comments between the code, even for those you might think they are very simple.

Looks like the demo may have changed, as the images are contained within the FLA - so first try downloading the file again (looks like you may only need the Flash 5 file, as that's all I needed).

There was still a compilation error though for Flash 5:
**Error** Scene=scene1, layer=HER2-neu 1, frame=7:Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (release) {

This can be rectified by going to "scene1" frame 7, click on the image there, and change the code from ...

on (release) {
getURL('http://www.qbiogene.com/products/cytogenetics/new_products.shtml', '_self');
}

... to ...

onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
getURL('http://www.qbiogene.com/products/cytogenetics/new_products.shtml', '_self');
}

I've used Sothink Glanda 2004 to create Flash photo album in minutes. It is really great.
