OK I have been going down one road for this and have taken a few wrong turns.
A few things about what we are looking at:
I am using Flash CS3 but I am using Action Script 1.0/2.0 for compatability purposes.
What I have been able to do so far is create random instances of a movie clip to appear over a set amount of time but I need to go a bit further. The web application needs to be updated regularly and the best way I can think of doing that is with keeping all the variables in an XML. The problem is I am not sure how to format the XML properly to get Flash to read it and load the variables.
I am creating an online version of a vision screening tool we use. The test is graphically simple just a collection of a few primitives on a dark background. There are basically two objects a fixation point and a stimulus. What I need to be able to do is this.
Display either movieclip at (x,y) for (z)ms where x,y,& z are all variables loaded from an xml. I have asked questions along this line before but this is a different scope in case anyone wants to claim I double posted, this is quite different than they way I was doing it before.
Any help with the XML or even any actionscript suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
