Link to external URL from Kirupa Thumbnail gallery

programming flash
1

Hi all

I amusing the great Kirupa Flash gallery and have tweaked it so that I only am using the thumbnail scroll box to link to external html or asp pages.

The xml file all loads correctly, though when I pass the “link” to the getURL the output is the entire XML “link” node…

code someone please help with this, i am sure, simple error.

Thanks

Dan
