Topic: Gallery XML not loaded the first time viewing a page

Hi all,

Having a problem that I can't seem to resolve on my own.

http://www.uboodu.com/v8/

The first time the page loads, the XML file doesn't seem to load and so the gallery doesn't. If I refresh the page, all is well.

Anyone have any experience with this problem? I'm using the code from the multiple galleries example and loading it all not on the first frame because I have a preloader. I think the problem lies in there. I created a function to just load the xml on the first frame, but that doesn't seem to do the trick either.

// preload xml

function preloadXML(){
    load1.loadClip("gallery1.xml",_root);
}

preloadXML();



I'd be eternally grateful for any help,

Re: Gallery XML not loaded the first time viewing a page

apparently this is the correct way to load the xml:

// preload xml


var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(success){
    if (success){
        trace(this);
    }
}
my_xml.load("gallery1.xml");

i still have the same problem though :(

Re: Gallery XML not loaded the first time viewing a page

it seems that even though i'm telling it to load gallery1.xml, it is defaulting to gallery.xml

i've copied gallery1.xml to gallery.xml and will just have to duplicate it when i make updates.

this is an irritating solution, but at least it works.

:(

Re: Gallery XML not loaded the first time viewing a page

By default, SimpleViewer will look for 'gallery.xml' for the XML file.

If you want to change that you can edit the code in the main timeline of the 'preloader' symbol in the FLA library. This is the place to edit the default path to the 'gallery.xml' file.
