Hi
Think I’m pretty close to success here…
Using an AS2 Carousel type menu with XML powered icons - and I’m trying to use the icons to load URLs within the main movie - in other words, load SWFs into the movie as opposed to external links.
Someone here (thirdCherry) was kind enough provide this for internal loading targeting a movieClip:
[FONT=Courier New]//on release function[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]function released()[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]{[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]getURL(this._parent.url);[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]target_mc.loadMovie(nodes*.attributes.url);[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]}[/FONT]
HOWEVER: my XML file looks like this:
<icons>
<icon image=“icon1.png” url=“facts1.swf” />
<icon image=“icon2.png” url=“facts2.swf” />
<icon image=“icon3.png” url=“facts3.swf” />
<icon image=“icon4.png” url=“facts4.swf” />
<icon image=“icon5.png” url=“facts5.swf”/>
</icons>
…and I’m thinking - is this still configured for an external URL? How do I adjust this to have my swf load into my target_mc movieClip instead of in an external browser window?
Thanks VERY much for any help - I’m doing well with AS3 - not so hot with AS2 / XML yet!
