Hello All forum members… This is my first posting in this forum.
I am working on a flash xml project and facing some problem… I need your help to solve this.
I am making a site, there is a list of buttons coming from an xml file and showing in the left side of the page. At a time I have to show only 12 buttons. there is a next and back button under the list. and on clicking on the next btn the next 12 buttons will appear.
The buttons are showing properly. but I can not restrict them in 12 at a time, I don’t know how to do the pagination properly.
I am attaching the actionscript I am using
the code in the 1st frame
var yPos = 50;
var depthCount = 1;
var linksXML = new XML();
linksXML.ignoreWhite = true;
linksXML.load("left_rings.xml");
linksXML.onLoad = checkLoading;
function checkLoading(success) {
if (success == true) {
var rootNode = linksXML.firstChild;
var total = rootNode.childNodes.length;
//var current = 12;
//Load the links Text
var tLink = rootNode.firstChild;
for (i=0;i<total;i++) {
createLink("tLink" + i, tLink);
var totalInner = tLink.childNodes.length;
var tnLink = tLink.firstChild;
for (j=0;j<totalInner; j++){
createLink("tnLink" + j + ""+ i, tnLink);
tnLink = tnLink.nextSibling;
}
tLink = tLink.nextSibling;
}
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
function createLink(newObj, aNode){
duplicateMovieClip(_root.baseLink, newObj, depthCount++);
var tcl = eval(newObj);
tcl.aLink = aNode.attributes.ref;
yPos +=15
if (aNode.nodeName == "menu"){
setName(tcl, aNode.attributes.name, 1);
tcl._x = 20;
}
else{
setName(tcl, aNode.attributes.name, 0.95);
tcl._x = 25;
}
tcl._y = yPos;
}
gotoAndStop(1);
function setName(obj, theName, Size){
obj._height = obj._height*Size;
obj._width = obj._width*Size;
obj.TextLink.BoxName.text = theName;
obj.TextLinkShadow.BoxName.text = theName;
obj.embedFonts = true;
//obj.TextLinkShadow._alpha = 20;
}
The code in the 2nd frame
stop();
duplicateMovieClip(_root.text2, "text4", 4);
//text3._x = 0;
text4._y-=50;
//text3.setName("Nada");
setName(text4, "Nada");
setName(text2, "Todo");
this is the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<links>
<menuL name=" - Paris" ref="-50"/>
<menuL name=" - Starlight" ref="-215"/><!-- -50-165*1 -->
<menuL name=" - Eternity" ref="-430"/><!-- -50-165*2 -->
<menuL name=" - Spirit" ref="-642"/><!-- -50-165*3 -->
<menuL name=" - Forever" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Royalty" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Princess" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Summer" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Lovelite" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Florence" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Moonstruc" ref=""/>

<menuL name=" - Salim" ref=""/>
<menuL name=" - Flash" ref="f"/>
<menuL name=" - XML" ref=""/>
