Hi,

I read this great tutorial [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm) (thanks!!) and wanted to modify a bit. I wanted to add a link to the text for each image.

What I understand is that I need to add a link field in the XML file

```php
	<pic>
		<image>http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/pg/kresge.jpg</image>
		<caption>Kresge</caption>
		<link>http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_slideshow.htm</link>
	</pic>

```

and in the flash’s action layer add the link

```php
image = []; description = [];url = [];

```

After this, I kinda get lost. I understand that, I have to add another line right after

```php
desc_txt.text = description[p];

```

which would be something like

```php
desc_txt.text = url[p];

```

But I am not too sure. Also how can I make that (aqua colored) bar clickable with target \_self.

I would really appreciate if someone could guide me to a tutorial or similar code. Thanks in adavance.

PS - I _did_ search and looked in the 11 pages of this forum, but couldn’t find anything similar to what I am looking.
