control _x and _y of dynamic thumbnails

[storm80y]

Help with basic AS please - dynamic image placement

I am having trouble with a script that was purchased for a clients site, it draws thumbnails within a scroller component. I

need the images to be aligned x and y axis differently based on whether they are portrait (29px H) or landscape (122px H). As

all of the loaded images conform to a naming convention based on whether they are portrait or landscape I figure you should

be able to test the current image name and display it as necessary eg. LE_BEA_PL_001.jpg will always contain "PL" Panoramic

Landscape and LE_BEA_PP_001.jpg will always contain "PP" for Panoramic Portrait. So I tried:

                  curMCsize = curMC.substr(7,8);
		if (curMCsize =="PP"){
		curMC._x=myCol*(curMC._width+50);
		curMC._y=myRow*(curMC._height+80);
		}else{
		curMC._x=myCol*(curMC._width+1);
		curMC._y=myRow*(curMC._height+1);
		}

Where the as that alters the x and y of the thumbnails is:

curMC._x=myCol*(curMC._width+50);
curMC._y=myRow*(curMC._height+80);

in the following script (which is part of a larger movie):

	function createClip(i){
		skin = "0";
		var attachWhat:String = (useThumbnails=="true") ? "skin"+skin+"_thumbnail" : "skin"+skin+"_galItem";
		thumbLoader.content.attachMovie(attachWhat,"gal"+i,i);
		var curMC:MovieClip = thumbLoader.content["gal"+i];
		curMC._alpha=0;
		if(useThumbnails=="true"){
			var imageStuff:Array = String(myArray[i][0]).split("/");
			var myThumb:String = curGalDir+"/thumbs/"+(imageStuff[imageStuff.length - 1]);
			curMC.image_mc.loadMovie(myThumb);
			var tmpMC:MovieClip = curMC._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("tmp"+i, i+10000);
			tmpMC.onEnterFrame=function(){
				

if((curMC.image_mc.getBytesLoaded()==curMC.image_mc.getBytesTotal())&&curMC.image_mc.getBytesTotal()>50){
					curMC.image_mc._x-=(curMC.image_mc._width/2);
					curMC.image_mc._y-=(curMC.image_mc._height/2);
					delete this.onEnterFrame;
				}
			}
		}
		curMC.current_mc._alpha=0;
		curMC.i = i;
		animateIn(curMC, 100, "_alpha", 30);
		curMC.myImage=myArray[i][0];
		curMC.i=i;
		curMC._x=myCol*(curMC._width+50);
		curMC._y=myRow*(curMC._height+80);
		var colMax:Number =  (useThumbnails=="true") ?  columns_thumbs : columns_no_thumbs ;
		if(myCol==colMax)myRow++;
		myCol=(myCol<colMax)? myCol+1 : 0;
		curMC.onRollOver=function() {
			if(galEnabled!=0)animateIn(this.btn1_mc, 15, "frame", 15);
		}

I can post the .fla if necessary, I would love to see the end of this one as I've been toying with it on and off for weeks.
