I can't have more than 3 image loaders?

Hi all

I'm busy building myself an online folio. I have an array of 12 thumbnails on
each page, but for some reason, only the first 3 of them load. It's not a
problem with the filenames of the images they load because I've tried switching
the content paths of the loaders to different images and it works, but I still
can't get more than 3 loaders laoding images at the same time.

Can someone please help? This is a huge turd on my lawn. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea... I'm planning on doing just like that here soon so I hope I don't run into any problems...

Can we see some of your code? That might have something to do with it...

This is my progress so far. Please excuse the aliasing, I haven't set the
scaling properly yet. If you go to the 3D section, you'll see that only the
first 3 thumbnails have loaded. They're raw image loaders with the following
code on them:

on (press) {
getURL("3D/3D#.jpg","_blank");
}

# being the number of the image. When I enclose all the loaders into movie
clips it works fine, but that's a hassle and eventually I'll have a library of
like 100 movie clips just for thumbnails which is rediculous. I really need to
get this sorted out so can someone please help me?

Hmm... I'm guessing everybody's stumped. Me too.

Flash is just one of those programs in which 1+1 doesn't quite equal 2. F*ck
knows what's going on under the hood. You assign a javascript function in
Dreamweaver, refer to it in Flash, but it's still a no show. As far as I can
see, Flash must have some serious problems under the hood because logic just
isn't checking out with it (and never has as memory serves me). Now that Adobe
is in control, maybe we'll some improvements?
