Topic: How to reposition captions?

So I originally wanted to have an SV gallery with no captions enabled, and now I want them back.  I have done quite a bit of fiddling around with my personal SV gallery and can't remember the steps I need to take to make the captions work again.  Maybe they're hiding behind my images, I really don't know.  Not sure how I can find out.

I tried the simplest solution and added back the <caption> tags to the individual images, but they don't show at all...

Can anyone provide references to the code snippets I can affect that are relevant to the captions in the heart of the source files?  I'm lost. :(

Re: How to reposition captions?

adding back the caption tags should do it. Did you refresh your cache? Did you modify any of the ActionScript source files?

Yeah, I refresh my cache every time I do something different.  Also put the caption tags back just the way they were.

I believe the issue lies in the ActionScript source files, just not sure where.

Okay, I've gotten the captions to show up now... but I can't seem to move it.  It's to the bottom and to the right on my display area.

Re: How to reposition captions?

In StageManager.as, would it be something to do with this line of code affecting it?

public function setCaptionPosition(x,y,w){
        if (isNaN(x) || Options.fixedLayout) return;
        mCaption_mc.txtText._width = w;
        mCaption_mc._x = mImageArea.xpos + x;
        mCaption_mc._y = mImageArea.ypos + y + Options.captionPadding;
        mCaption_mc._visible = true;

Re: How to reposition captions?

Come to think of it, there might be a better way for me to go about this.  Suppose I could make the captions outside of the viewer.swf.  Would there be a way to get the captions to correspond with each image?
