Actionscript 3: Need help loading slideshows 10-14 from an array. Slideshows 1-9 work fine.

[deborahbevilacqua]

Here is the code for the slideshow. I feel like the answer is in the function below but I don't know how to rewrite the code. I do not work in Flash very much except as a designer.

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import caurina.transitions.*;

import flash.display.Loader;

// General Set up items

var presModeSlides : Boolean = true;// shows slides or pictures when jumping to pres template

var currentSlideNumber : int = 0;

var slides : Array = [{numSlides:11 , directory:"01_Barcellos", title: "Welcome and Introductions", speaker:"Speaker: Michael Barcellos", university : "Bio-Rad Laboratories - USA" },

  {numSlides:35 , directory:"02_Davis", title: "BioPlex® 2200 WW-Program: Past, Present and Future", speaker:"Speaker: Tamara Davis", university : "Bio-Rad Laboratories - USA" },

function doSlides(e:Event) {

    currentSlideNumber = int(e.currentTarget.name.substr(1,1))-1;// Holds which set of slide to show

    presModeSlides = true;// We're showing slides instead of pictures so set this to true

    gotoAndStop("Pres Template");

}

What is the point of asking this in the Adobe Reader forum?  I'm sure the experts in the ActionScript 3 forum could answer this much better...

I apologize beforehand because I am an ignorant in programing, but it seems to me that your question refers to Flash, not to the free Reader. This is the Reader forum; the Flash one is here:

Sorry folks this is my first time asking a question and I was at one point on the Flash page but somehow got diverted. Sorry for the confusion.

Problem is here:

currentSlideNumber = int(e.currentTarget.name.substr(1,1))-1

//with this function you only reach slideshows with one digit (1-9)

//example; slide "10_Yip..." will be reduced to 0 and subtracting from that gives you a negative number

it should be

currentSlideNumber = int(e.currentTarget.name.substr(0,2))-1

//example; slide "10_Yip..." will be reduced to 10 and subtracting from that gives you 9

//example; slide "09_..." will be first reduced to "09", casting it as int will remove the 0 from the beginning and leave 9 subtracting 1 will result in 8

Thank you so much! That did it! I knew the answer was in that line and the count was wrong but I did not kow how to rewrite it. You are a lifesaver!
