        swf = [];
        name = [];
        link = [];
        total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
        for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
            swf* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            name* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
            link* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
        }
        firstImage();
    } else {
        display_txt.text = "Error loading XML!";
        display_txt._y = 380;
    }
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("swfs.xml");

I have this problem too, I think it has to do with the naming of the images in the .xml file. For example I have “landscape01.jpg” instead it should be “http://www.yoursite.com/foldername/landscape01.jpg”.

I tried this but it too did not work. Can anybody help?

alot of FTP programs capitalize extensions, e.g: “filename.jpg” gets uploaded as “filename.JPG”

That has been changed as well and still no luck.

As a test I downloaded the tutorial and put it back online and it works.
But in an HTML page the xml is not loading.

Alright here is the link for my version that is inside an html page.

Here is the same files & folders, but NOT in an html page (excuse flash for stretching it to fit the screen)

This is the Flash code

_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“mcImageHolder”,1);
mcImageHolder._x = 19;
mcImageHolder._y = 20;

var allPhotos:XMLNode = new XMLNode();
var currentPhoto:XMLNode = new XMLNode();

var photosXML:XML = new XML();
photosXML.ignoreWhite = true; //don’t look at empty space in the XML file
photosXML.onLoad = function(ok:Boolean)
{
if(ok == true)
{
allPhotos = photosXML.firstChild;
currentPhoto = allPhotos.firstChild;
displayPhoto(currentPhoto);
}
else
{
txtCaption.text = “Error loading XML.”;
}
}

photosXML.load(“photos.xml”);

displayPhoto = function(photoData:XMLNode)
{
//display caption
var captionNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode();
var captionTextNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode();
captionNode = photoData.firstChild;
captionTextNode = captionNode.firstChild;
txtCaption.text = captionTextNode.nodeValue;
//display image
var imageNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode();
var imageTextNode:XMLNode = new XMLNode();
imageNode = captionNode.nextSibling;
imageTextNode = imageNode.firstChild;
mcImageHolder.loadMovie(imageTextNode.nodeValue);
}

btnForward.onRelease = function()
{
if (currentPhoto.nextSibling != null)
{
currentPhoto = currentPhoto.nextSibling;
displayPhoto(currentPhoto);
}
}

btnBack.onRelease = function()
{
if (currentPhoto.previousSibling != null)
{
currentPhoto = currentPhoto.previousSibling;
displayPhoto(currentPhoto);
}
}

I am curious as to whether or not DOCTYPE line in the HTML has anything to do with it, so here is the top part of the HTML:

<!DOCTYPE XHTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD xhtml 1.0 transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>

So it must have something to do with the xml fiole not loading into a flash file in an HTML file but the only place I thought that would fix it was xhtml in the doctype. Any help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks
