Tutorial Problems: 'Photo Gallery using XML and Flash'

programming flash
1

Hi,

Im trying to create a photo gallery using XML and Flash MX 2004 (on a Mac OS 10.3.7).

I’ve followed the tutorial -

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/xml_flash_photogallery.htm

  • and have created the gallery though none of my pictures are visible in the gallery. I’ve created the XML file in ‘Simpletext’ which looks like this:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>http://www.yetiintelligence.com/photos/one.jpg</image>
<caption>no picture?</caption>
</pic>
<pic>

<caption>???</caption>

<caption>Stata Center</caption>

<caption>The Dome</caption>
</pic>

<caption>Structure</caption>
</pic>
</images>

(Notice only the first two images in the XML file have been changed to my own pictures, these are the only two that don’t work?!) I have the jpg’s saved in a folder on my ftp server called ‘photos’… you can test they work by just typing the url directly into a browser:

http://www.yetiintelligence.com/photos/one.jpg

But they don’t seem to load up in the gallery?

Any ideas what im doing wrong???

Thanks,
