Hi, I am a noob to the flash XML stuff. I have been working on a website for a local realtor and I am tring to setup a flash slide show for their listings. I got the slideshow working but I am having problems getting it to be automated with controls could someone help me please? Here is the code I have so far–
slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.load("slideshow.php");
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;
slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
//
// Show the first slide and intialize variables
function startSlideShow(success) {
if (success == true) {
rootNode = slides_xml.firstChild;
totalSlides = rootNode.childNodes.length;
firstSlideNode = rootNode.firstChild;
currentSlideNode = firstSlideNode;
currentIndex = 1;
updateSlide(firstSlideNode);
}
}
//
// Updates the current slide with new image and text
function updateSlide(newSlideNode) {
imagePath = newSlideNode.attributes.jpegURL;
slideText = newSlideNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
address = newSlideNode.attributes.address;
city = newSlideNode.attributes.city;
zip = newSlideNode.attributes.zip;
loadMovie(imagePath, targetClip);
}
//
// Event handler for 'Next slide' button
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextSlideNode = currentSlideNode.nextSibling;
if (nextSlideNode == null) {
break;
} else {
currentIndex++;
updateSlide(nextSlideNode);
currentSlideNode = nextSlideNode;
}
};
//
// Event handler for 'Previous slide' button
back_btn.onRelease = function() {
previousSlideNode = currentSlideNode.previousSibling;
if (previousSlideNode == null) {
break;
} else {
currentIndex--;
currentSlideNode = previousSlideNode;
updateSlide(previousSlideNode);
}
};
and here is the XML doc –
