Hi,
I’m really struggling here. I’m trying to create a AS3 file that will import an xml file, that has an file path node, and an image name node. I want and swf imported to be displayed on my first page, then have previous and next buttons that will load the next node/slide with another swf. I’m thinking it should be simple enough. I can’t seen to figure out how to pull the path name out og the xml file and put in the next button function. I’m guessing I should pull all of the file locations into an array, but I’m struggling to grasp how to do this. Any help you could provide, would be greatly appreciated. I’ll paste what I currently have.
xml file would be something like this…but eventually much larger.
