Hello Guys!
Well my question i think its very simple for someone who works fine using flash and xml to show images and text… This code i downloaded for free and what it does it that, it creates buttons dynamically by the number of entries in the XML file, well thats what i understand of this script… it’s a banner rotator with a time interval using transition effects… my question is that every banner has its own button with a NUMBER LABEL on it, it is possible to add an entry in the XML file like “picture 1” and that instead of the number on the button, shows that entry from the XML… I hope you can understand me, i dont want the code to generates the number and label the button what i want is to type what ever text i want and flash show it on the button!!
Here’s the AS2 code:
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import mx.transitions.*;
_root.imageNum = 1;//know the position of an image at a moment
//menu coordinates

var xmlFile:XML = new XML();

}
};

}
}
