I am new to AS3, and I am learning to load images from an xml file. I want to load them into an array for use in an image gallery, but I’m having trouble doing so. Here’s my xml file:
[COLOR=Navy]<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?>
<images>
<image ypos=“100” xpos=“40” cap=“IMAGE ONE”>1.jpg</image>
<image ypos=“100” xpos=“40” cap=“IMAGE TWO”>2.jpg</image>
<image ypos=“100” xpos=“40” cap=“IMAGE THREE”>3.jpg</image>
</images>[/COLOR]
and here’s my fla code:
[COLOR=Navy]import caurina.transitions.Tweener
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“images.xml”);
xmlLoader.load(xmlRequest);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataOK)
function dataOK(myEvent:Event):void{
var myXML:XML=new XML(xmlLoader.data);
var imageOneRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myXML.image[2]);
var oneLoader:Loader = new Loader();
oneLoader.load(imageOneRequest);
oneLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, oneLoaded);
this.addChild(oneLoader);
function oneLoaded(event:Event):void {
oneLoader.alpha=0;
Tweener.addTween(oneLoader, {alpha:1, time:1, transition:“easeOutExpo”});
Tweener.addTween(oneLoader, {y:myXML.image[2].@ypos, x:myXML.image[2].@xpos, time:1, delay:3, transition:“easeOutExpo”});
};
captionOne.text = myXML.image[2].@cap;
var total = myXML.child.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i<total.length; i++){
var all:Array = new Array(myXML*);
};
};
[COLOR=Black]The first image is loading fine, the event.COMPLETE function is working, but I can’t figure out how to get the images into an array that I can loop through. I’m not getting errors on the above code, just not sure if this is the right direction. Also, in a related question, how do you load images from an array in as3 when it seems like you have to make a new Loader object for each one of them? Would you just append the loader name with * so it has a unique name every time? Sorry for the long post, any help is much appreciated.
