Hey everybody,

Can someone please help me to add the ability to make the images loaded by xml in this flash to link to url’s and to dynamically enter those url’s into the same xml file being used to load the images.

Here is what I’ve got - it is from the xml slide show

//////////////////////////////////////  
delay = 12000;  
//-----------------------  
function loadXML(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
xmlNode = this.firstChild;  
image = [];  
description = [];  
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;  
for (i=0; i\<total; i++) {  
image\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;  
description\* = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;  
}  
firstImage();  
} else {  
content = “file not loaded!”;  
}  
}  
xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;  
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);  
/////////////////////////////////////  
listen = new Object();  
listen.onKeyDown = function() {  
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {  
prevImage();

nextImage();  
}  
};  
Key.addListener(listen);  
previous\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
prevImage();  
};  
next\_btn.onRelease = function() {  
nextImage();  
};  
p = 0;  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();  
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();  
preloader.\_visible = true;  
if (loaded != filesize) {  
preloader.preload\_bar.\_xscale = 100\*loaded/filesize;  
} else {  
preloader.\_visible = false;  
if (picture.\_alpha\<100) {  
picture.\_alpha += 10;  
}  
}  
};  
function nextImage() {  
if (p\<(total-1)) {  
p++;  
if (loaded == filesize) {  
picture.\_alpha = 0;  
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);  
desc\_txt.text = description[p];

picture\_num();  
slideshow();  
}  
}  
function picture\_num() {  
current\_pos = p+1;  
pos\_txt.text = current\_pos+" / "+total;  
}  
function slideshow() {  
myInterval = setInterval(pause\_slideshow, delay);  
function pause\_slideshow() {  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
if (p == (total-1)) {  
p = 0;  
firstImage();  
} else {  
nextImage();

}
