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

  for (i=0; i<total; i++) {  
   thumbnails* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
   link* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
   thumbnails_fn(i);
