hi. I’m a newbie in actionscripting. And I’m trying to make a sort of menu for each item in a carousel. I need to load in xml attributes to my dynamic text inside my duplicated movieclip. My duplicated movieclip is in the second code below.
I have two main AS in my .fla. This is my first code:
//SCRIPTS
Stage.align = "left";
num = 1;
total = 0;//total numofitems
rot = 0.5001 *Math.PI;
sliding = false;
rotGoto = rot;
rotTweening = rot;
rotImageNumber = 0;//who is on
autoRotate = false;
//import libs
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
intThumb._visible = true;
diz = this;
// xml object / ignorewhite
xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
//load object for parsing
xml.onLoad = function(sucess) {
if (sucess) {
storeAll(xml);
}
};
// load XML
if(_root.xmlLocation != undefined){
xml.load(_root.xmlLocation);
}else{
xml.load("data.xml");
}
// parsing function
function storeAll(xmlDoc_xml) {
//parse settings
for (at in xmlDoc_xml.childNodes[0].attributes) {
diz[at] = int(xmlDoc_xml.childNodes[0].attributes[at]*100)/100;
}
timer = autoRotateSpeed*24;

}
//end for folders

//end function

And my second code is this with the duplicated movieclipCOLOR=#bf8040[/COLOR]. I need the duplicated movieclip to contain dynamic text, the text being loaded from my xml file.
the hierarchy of my movieclip with the dynamic text is this> _parent.btns.intNavbar.label_mc.buttText.text
how can i link this to my xml file? how do i load xmlDoc_xml.childNodes[1].childNodes[n].attributes.menuText; to my dynamic text? where do i declare this line of code?
