AS3 & Xml positioning of images

programming flash
1

Hi all

I have been trying to make changes within some AS3 script that reads in XML images. I have a rotating menu that reads in images from xml. I can’t seem to make the radius, the circle larger so the images are more spread out.

with the images now being control by thye xml do I need add something to the xml ?

many thanks for any help:!:

here is the actionscript;

// Use URLLoader to load XML

xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;

xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLComplete);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“data.xml”));

item.txt.text = 'Menu Item ' + (i + 1);
item.txt.mouseEnabled = false;
item.buttonMode = true;
item.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, onMenuItemClick );

circleMenu.addChild( item );

}

circleMenu.currentIndex = 4;*/
