Hi-

I’m having an issue with calling a function from an imported XML file. This is my function:

function SwitchImage(movieName) {  
this.popBox.popImage.loadMovie(movieName);  
this.popBox.popCaption = “Go Bulldogs”;  
}

This is the XML. The function works fine. It calls the function “SwitchImage” and it loads the image “1.jpg”.

\<myLife \>  
\<pagetext whatYear=“1959”\>I was born on February 4\<a href=“asfunction:\_global.shell.SwitchImage,images/1.jpg”\>change picture\</a\>\</pagetext\>  
\</myLife\>

Now I want to pass it another parameter called “popCaption”:

function SwitchImage(movieName, popCaption) {  
this.popBox.popImage.loadMovie(movieName);  
this.popBox.popCaption = (popCaption);  
}

\<myLife \>  
\<pagetext whatYear=“1959”\>I was born on February 4\<a href=“asfunction:\_global.shell.SwitchImage,images/1.jpg, my new caption”\>change picture\</a\>\</pagetext\>  
\</myLife\>

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but it must be in the XML. Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks,  
Clemente
