Help with Array?

Hey all,

I have a question about setting up an image array from an external source. I have the following action script and would like to edit it so that it reads from an external file. Either TXT or XML. Just not too familiar on how to edit the array action. Thanks in advance. :slight_smile:

CODE:

spacing = 10;
image_array = [“image01.jpg”, “image02.jpg”, “image03.jpg”, “image04.jpg”, “image05.jpg”, “image06.jpg”, “image07.jpg”, “image08.jpg”, “image09.jpg”, “image10.jpg”, “image11.jpg”, “image12.jpg”, “image13.jpg”, “image14.jpg”, “image15.jpg”];
containerMC._alpha = 0;
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) {
_root.containerMC._alpha = 0;
this.loadMovie(pic);
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
var t = containerMC.getBytesTotal(), l = containerMC.getBytesLoaded();
if (t != 0 && Math.round(l/t) == 1) {
var w = containerMC._width+spacing, h = containerMC._height+spacing;
border.resizeMe(w, h);
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
}
};
};
MovieClip.prototype.resizeMe = function(w, h) {
var speed = 3;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._width += (w-this._width)/speed;
this._height += (h-this._height)/speed;
if (Math.abs(this._width-w)<1) {
this._width = w;
this._height = h;
_root.containerMC._x = this._x-this._width/2+spacing/2;
_root.containerMC._y = this._y-this._height/2+spacing/2;
_root.containerMC._alpha += 5;
if (_root.containerMC._alpha>90) {
_root.containerMC._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
};
};
