Hello all,
I am pretty new to ActionScript, and have done some coding in the past in .asp \ .aspx, but it is not my primary forte. I am working on a site that has a page for project photo galleries, and have been following a lot of the tutorials from this site. I have a directory structure as follows:
root folder (containing projects.swf) --> projects directory --> project1 directory(containing image files, thumbnail images, and images.xml)
For testing purposes, in projects.fla, and resulting projects.swf, I have:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“projects/projects1/images.xml”);
But when I run the file, I get the following:
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/thumb1.jpg”
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/thumb2.jpg”
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/thumb3.jpg”
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/thumb4.jpg”
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/thumb5.jpg”
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/thumb6.jpg”
Error opening URL “file:///C|/Inetpub/wwwroot/Aquarius/picture1.jpg”
I need some help \ advice on how to code projects.fla with the correct path to the .xml file in the <root>\projects\project1 directory, and ideally, a way to make it dynamic so I can pass the path to the projects.swf file using a variable, and be able to direct the movie to use the intended xml file, thumbnails, and images based on the press of a button contained in a projects menu. Unless I have missed something, all of the tutorials I saw had the images and .xml file in the same directory as the .swf. Any and all help on how to get this taken care of is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks much,
Russ
