loader action script help needed !

[patch999]

hi there .
I've setup a flash movie with a very simple loader and a set of buttons which on rollover set the content path of the loader. This is done using actionscript attached to the buttons.

on(rollOver) {
portfolio_loader.contentPath = "Page_00.jpg";
}

very simple !

Anyways I now want a button which functions as an "enlarge view" button. I need some script which will do a getURL depending on the currently loaded image in the loader.

So i.e. when contentPath = "Page_00.jpg" then getURL("Page_00_Large.jpg")

But i would need it to be able to do that with up to 30 different variables. Any help will be most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

You can create the String "Page_00_Large.jpg" from "Page_00.jpg" dynamically:

trace(portfolio_loader.contentPath.split(".")[0]+"_Large.jpg");

So you won't need to write 30 different scripts - you can do it with just one script.
