Hi i hope someone can shed some light on by novice AS writers block.
I am creating a photogallery with thumbnails that reads all the data from XML, this is based on the excellent Kirupa tutorial.
What i want to happen is that the text only appears when you mouseOver the image.
I thought it would be a simple using an if statement but can not get it to work.
you can view the page at http://www.bru-ha.com/roza-flash/art_7.swf
below is the actionscript for the file & the FLA.
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
media = [];
credit = [];
thumbnails = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
media* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
credit* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
thumbnails_fn(i);
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load('xml/art_7.xml');
