I haven’t tried merging the 2 functions yet but I have a quick question, how can I re-enable maintianing the thumbnail’s aspect ratio?

un-commenting “thumb_loader.maintainAspectRatio = true;” in thumbnail_bulk.as does not work. Thanks again!

Yes, I’d definitely like to synch up the thumb and main image, once I find some time! Let me know if you come up with a solution!

Checked out this zip, FANTASTIC! Exactly what I’ve been looking for! One question tho, my project uses the same data for both the full image and thumbnail, how can i simplify (perhaps merge) the code here:

frame1 //onAllItemsLoaded()
var img:Bitmap = loader.getBitmap(“image”+i);

and

frame2 //drawSubThumbs()
var thumb_bitmap:Bitmap = loader.getBitmap(“thumb”+i);
var sub_mc:thumbnail_bulk = new thumbnail_bulk(“none”, i, thumb_bitmap, 30, 30, 0xFFFFFF, 0×201919, 0×990066, 2, 0×201919, false, true, false);

…so that flash fetches the bitmap data once, and the thumbnail class does its majic. I tried changing the third arguement in the thumbnail_bulk statement to “img” (no quotes) and that got rid of the full images. Do I need to merge the two functions or is there an easier way to do this? YOU ARE THE MAN!
