Removing previous Portfolio Item Image (RemoveChild)

[ollwoll]

Hi there
I have a portfolio item which has images of varying heights. On click, the previous image is not removed, it loads in on top.
e.g. Image 1 is 540px wide, 600px high; Image 2 is 540px wide, 400px high.

When you click on image 1, image 2 loads on top and because of the 200px difference, the bottom of image 1 is still visible.

Can you tell me how to alter the code to remove the previous image. (I'm guessing its a case of altering the RemoveChildAt function in PotfolioItem.as??) I have some AS knowledge so would be confident of editing as you instruct.

Many thanks in advance

Hello. You should be able to achieve that by adding the following code below line 571 in "PortfolioItem.as":

_images.removeChildAt(0);

Hope that helps.

I am experimenting the same problem. I've tried editing the file just as just said, but it does nothing. In fact, anything I do (even removing it) in the whole "scr" file makes no difference at all. What am I doing wrong? Am I editing the wrong files or...?

Hello. You need to republish the FLA files after making changes to the AS files. Hope that helps.

I can't open/edit the .FLA file using Macromedia FLash 8. Am I using the wrong program or?

Hello. You will need Adobe Flash CS3 or later if you want to customize the source files.

Ok, Now I can edit the .FLA files. After I edit the line you said in the PortfolioItem.as (NOT editing anything else) and save it, and then go to the .FLA and publish it, I get this error:

Would you know how to fix it? As I said I haven't touched the Main.as file

That's because you are republishing without having the correct font on your system. Search the board for more info on changing the fonts. I'm really not able to provide any support for source code customizations unfortunately.

Honestly I think you should fix this or atleast help me with it, because it's not really a code modification but a bug. I'm a photographer and I need to display different orientated pictures (vertical and horizontal) and I can't because of this bug...

It's not a bug. It was designed with the fade effect to have each set of images be the same size.
