I would like to do this exact item but I am not very good with AS3 at the moment.

What would the exact code be please?

Hi guys, I have tried to do "How do you make Thumbgrid dissapear when SSP Gallery is Open?" with my Gallery and thumgrid...but I'm doing something wrong and its not working.
Is it possible someone could show me how it's done with my fla. Much appreciated. And i can learn from what has been done. Yes I'm a newbie.

Having Thumbgrid disappear when the gallery is open is exactly what I want. (It makes no sense to me that it should be showing thumbs from the last opened album.) Hopefully this option will be *built into* the next versions of TG and SSP.

I have NO ActionScript experience and when I look at the links and solutions listed in this thread I might as well be reading Greek. Help, please!

What I tried:
Opened the Actions window. Put the focus on the stage rather than the SSP or TG component. Copied and pasted the code listed by crittle1 into the empty Actions - Frame, and made the modification listed by ptlx.

What happend:
When publishing the slideshow there are 9 compile errors all of which are one of the following.
* 1120: Access of undefined property holder.
* 1120: Access of undefined property thumbgrid.

Where & how do I define these? And what should they be?

TIA!

Can anyone help, I was soo close I copied the scrip and changed the variables as instructed but I get 2 issues - first when I publish the swf is black - nothing is shown and second I get this error

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: TGRequestEvent.

No I played around and at one stage was able to get the gallery & album visible but every time I click my mouse on a thumb it would take me back to the gallery view.  So after playing around I started again, and thats where I am now.  When I publish I get a white square with no content and the error above.

Heres my script if it helps:m I should also say Im very new to this - this is my first time trying to alter any type of script so I have probably screwed it up myself - but any help is so greatly appreciated

import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import net.slideshowpro.grid.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

my_ssp.visible = false;
grid.visible = false;


//my_ssp.addEventListener(TGRequestEvent.LOAD_THUMB, onRequestEvent);

//nextGroup_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, NextGroup);

//prevGroup_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, PreviousGroup);

my_ssp..addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Gallery);

//nextImage_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, NextImage);

//previousImage_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, PreviousImage);

my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPGalleryStateEvent.GALLERY_CLOSING, onGalleryStateEvent);

/*function NextGroup(event:MouseEvent) {
   my_tg.nextThumbGroup();
}

function PreviousGroup(event:MouseEvent) {
   my_tg.previousThumbGroup();
}*/

function Gallery(event:MouseEvent) {
    my_ssp.visible = false;

    grid.visible = false;
    my_ssp.toggleGallery();
}

/*function NextImage(event:MouseEvent) {
   my_ssp.nextImage();
}

function PreviousImage(event:MouseEvent) {
   my_ssp.previousImage();
}*/

function onGalleryStateEvent(event:SSPGalleryStateEvent) {
   trace('yes');
   my_ssp.visible = true;
   grid.visible = true;
}

function onRequestEvent(event:TGRequestEvent) {
    my_ssp.visible = false;
    grid.visible = false;
}

There's probably some downside to my method, but I eventually got it to function right, using this...

import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
function onGalleryStateEvent(event:SSPGalleryStateEvent):void { my_tg.visible = true; }
my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPGalleryStateEvent.GALLERY_CLOSED, onGalleryStateEvent);
my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPGalleryStateEvent.GALLERY_CLOSING, onGalleryStateEvent);
my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPGalleryStateEvent.GALLERY_HIDDEN, onGalleryStateEvent);
function onGalleryStateEvent2(event:SSPGalleryStateEvent):void { my_tg.visible = false; }
my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPGalleryStateEvent.GALLERY_OPEN, onGalleryStateEvent2);
my_ssp.addEventListener(SSPGalleryStateEvent.GALLERY_OPENING, onGalleryStateEvent2);

FYI, when you get those errors that say "* 1120: Access of undefined property", that simply means that you have something in your code that's referencing an object that's not there or isn't named. For example, in the code I posted, I refer to my_ssp and my_tg, which are what I named SSP and TG, but if I had forgotten to actually name the components that, or if they weren't on the stage at all, it would be throwing that error. You have to name each component before ActionScript can affect it--that's at the top of the Properties panel that appears when you click on the component.
