Hi
i was modifying some of the actionscript from the kirupa xml flash gallery tutorial and was hoping someone may know how to be able to create another node which would be a text box just like the caption text seen in the tutorial but could be used to display a url. I tried adding it in but having problems getting it to read the html code that gets loaded from the xml file.
heres what the actionscript looks like:
Key.removeListener(listen);
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
thumbnails = [];
caption = [];
url = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
caption* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
url* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("webgallery.xml");

Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {

and the xml
