I was wondering how I could add sound to a gallery that is driven by xml.
I have a gallery that loads the picture, Title and description. the gallery is downloadable here. http://www.flashmo.com/prev...o_133_fisheye
The regular gallery loads a web page when the picture is clicked. I am trying to make each picture load a different mp3.
I have the general Idea of how it would be done but I don’t know how put it to actionscript.
I figured you would basically create a sound object that loads the specific mp3 from the xml file when the picture is clicked from the gallery.
Can Anyone help me with this?
I think I might have some what of the idea right but I get an error everytime I load the swf file.
“ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound.
at flash.media::Sound/play()
at MethodInfo-6()”
If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
Here is the actionscript.
