Dynamic Image Gallery Issue

Question

Hello All!
I am creating a dynamic image gallery, but when my external
images load in the empty movie clip, all the images are loading in
the same size/dimension. Does anyone know how I can command the MC
to load the images in different sizes, another words - to load them
according to its own size?
here's the AS
onClipEvent (load)
function imageMove()
var _loc1 = this;
for (i = 1; i <= num_of_image; i++)
mc = _loc1["image" + i];
if (i < hit)
tempx = small * (i - 1) + 30;
temps = small - 5;
mc.useHandCursor = true;
else if (i > hit)
tempx = big + small * (i - 2) + 30;
temps = small - 5;
mc.useHandCursor = true;
else
tempx = small * (i - 1) + 150; //distance of how far out the
displayed image jumps.
temps = big - 5; //distance between the displayed image and
thumbnails.
mc.swapDepths(1000);
display = txt
mc.useHandCursor = false;
} // end else if
mc._x = mc._x + (tempx - mc._x) / 3; //number of pixals on
x-axis the displayed image moves over to right side before growing
big.
mc._width = mc._width + (temps - mc._width) / 3; //number of
pixals on x-axis the displayed image moves over to left side before
growing big.
mc._height = mc._width * 4 / 3;
if (Math.abs(mc._width - temps) <= 1)
title._x = hit < 5 ? (_loc1["image" + hit]._x + big / 2) :
(_loc1["image" + hit]._x - big / 2 - 100);
title._y = 100;
} // end if
} // end of for
} // End of the function
function loopHye()
if (hit != num_of_image)
++_global.hit;
else
_global.hit = 1;
} // end else if
} // End of the function
getURL("FSCommand:allowscale", false);
big = 300;
//Large image width (400 works best for my portfolio site)
small = 60;//Small image width (40 works well for my
portfolio site)
num_of_image = 8;//Total number of images
timeGap = none;//Speed (speed of gaptime when each image is
displayed automatically. "2000" is default of this original file.
larger the number the slower the image changes. (type in "none"
will stop automatic images from changing.
_global.hit = 0;//First displyed image number (type "0" to
stop images from growing out)
txt = [" ", "image1", "image2", "image3", "image4", "image5",
"image6", "image7", "image8"];//insert text of each images between
for (i = 1; i <= num_of_image; i++)
attachMovie("image", "image" + i, i);
loadMovie("image/" + i + ".jpg", this["image" +
i].tar);//image folder path
mc = this["image" + i];
mc._x = small * (i - 1) + 30;
mc._y = 200; //where on the axis should the displays be.
mc._width = small - 5;
mc._height = mc._width * 4 / 3;
this["image" + i].onRelease = function ()
clearInterval(interval);
_global.hit = this._name.substr(5);
interval = setInterval(loopHye, timeGap);
} // end of for
interval = setInterval(loopHye, timeGap);
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
imageMove();
check out the file

this is what the current gallery looks like

I'd appreciated if someone replies with any sort of
suggestions! thanks in advance!!!

if you google with "dynamic image gallery", you'll find a lot
of
tutorials & examples including pre-programmed solutions
if you prefer to do it yourself, you need to deal with
dynamic sites. DW
help chapters Preparing to Build Dynamic Sites, Making Pages
Dynamic &
Developing Applications Rapidly can also help to understand
in fact you don't need a database, the images can be read
from the
folder they're stored. that way to update a gallery you only
need to
remove/replace/add images. one folder for each gallery
and the application development forum is best suited for your
question
BTW, some nice photos in your page
