I need some help. I am creating a slideshow using RSS and I am having trouble incrementing the childNode* once I click on the “next button” Within the RSS there is a link to a story and a title for the heading of the picture. The pictures are being brought in through a URL outside of the RSS.
Below is the code…(i stands for the starting childNode* after you get past all the other stuff that an RSS feed brings in. I just don’t know how to increment i once I click the next button)
stop();
// set the pic number and total pics in the lead
picNum = 1;
i=6;
totalPics = 5;

heading = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
link = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
