Question about the tutorial "Loading data into Flash" By: Jorge Solis

programming flash

Hi

I’ve already posted this in AS2 but I think its AS3

I followed a tutorial about loading data into Flash using xml. Everything works perfectly but I would like to add hyper links to the images.

Any ideas?

I’m new to this and trying to work it out. I’m presuming I need to add:

this.ref[" …something here… "+i].getURL(subnodes[2].firstChild.toString())

but its out of my zone at the moment.

Here is the ActionScript

//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML()
myXML.ignoreWhite = true
//Load XML file
myXML.load(“anastasio.xml”)
//Make a reference to current timeline
myXML.ref = this
// Parse XML and fetch
myXML.onLoad = function(succes){
if(succes){
var root = this.firstChild
nodes = root.childNodes
for(var i=0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
this.ref[“Title_txt”+i].text = nodes*.attributes.name
subnodes = nodes*.childNodes
this.ref[“Comments_txt”+i].text = subnodes[0].firstChild.toString()
this.ref[“holder_mc”+i].loadMovie(subnodes[1].firstChild.toString())

}
} else trace(“Error loading XML document”)
}
stop()

and the xml

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE data[
<!ELEMENT title (comments, image)>
<!ATTLIST title name CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT comments (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT image (#PCDATA)>
]>
<data>
