Problem: Launching javascript window from XML file

programming flash
1

Hello!

I have a thumbnail gallery that I’d love it so that when the user clicks on a thumb, it launches an HTML page of a news clipping. I’ve tried altering the code for it to do that, but it doesn’t work and I wasn’t sure how the actionscript could recognize the javascript code for the window size.

My code currently is:

mask_mc._visible = false;
menu_mc.setMask(mask_mc);
portfolioInfo = new XML();
portfolioInfo.ignoreWhite = true;
timeline = this;
portfolioInfo.onLoad = function() {
        portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
        count = portfolioTag.childNodes.length;
        for (i=0; i<count; i++) {
                currentPicture = portfolioTag.childNodes*;
                currentThumb = menu_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
                currentThumb._x = i*40;
                image = currentThumb.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
                image.loadMovie(currentPicture.attributes.THUMB);
                currentThumb.NAME = currentPicture.attributes.NAME;
                currentThumb.IMAGE = currentPicture.attributes.IMAGE;
                currentThumb.onPress = currentThumb.onDragOver=function () {
                        _getURL(this.IMAGE,"_blank" );
                };
        }
};
portfolioInfo.load("portfolio.xml");

My XML file looks like:

  <?xml version="1.0" ?> 
- <portfolio>
  <picture thumb="portfolio_images/thumbs/plug.jpg" image="test.htm" /> 
  </portfolio>

What is wrong with this?? Nothing happens when you select a thumbnail. Can you help? I’ll attach my progress to this post!
