Photo Slideshow tutorial with XML links?

programming flash
1

Would it be possible to use the Kirupa tutorial on “Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash” and incorporate a dynamic HTML link within the XML so the photos in the slideshow were clickable using Flash MX 2004?

Something like this:

function nextImage () {
if (p < (total - 1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie (image[p], 1);
picture_num ();
slideshow ();
picture.onRelease = function() {
getURL(link[p],"_blank");
};
}
}
}

And the XML looking like this:
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>print/slide_1.swf</image>
<link>&quotehttp://www.somewebsite.com&quote</link>
</pic>

hey this is my first post. I’m trying to modify the slideshow code to include stop and start buttons and the previous and next buttons from the other kirupa tutorial (xml image galerry wit thumbs). I’ve got the stop and start buttons to work, and the previous button, but the next button just restarts the slideshow. if anyone can help that would be cool. here is the code and the file. Also, just use the images.xml file from the kirupa xml slideshow tutorial. Here is the link.

code
delay = 3000;
//-----------------------
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
/////////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {

} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
newtxt = “SLIDESHOW OFF”;
}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (p == (total-1)) {
}
prevImage();

//newtxt = “SLIDESHOW OFF”;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
};
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
}
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
slideshow();
}
}
function prevImage() {

}
function slideshow() {

function pause_slideshow() {

if (p == (total-1)) {

firstImage();
} else {
nextImage();
}
}

}
///

:d:
