I’m developing a project using the Kirupa xml gallery tutorial, but the spec has complicated a little so I am looking to get some further functionality developed by someone experienced with flash/xml integration, as I don’t have time to try & figure it out.
Basically, the structure of the xml has been changed to allow for gallery images to be categorised by client - so each client would have several slideshow images, each with a text description.
This is all built already, but I’m having trouble counting & updating the number of gallery images for each client, as different clients are browsed.
Additionally, there will be an optional link for each individual gallery image to have some extra images assiciated with it - selected by another button. Not all of the gallery images will have this though, so it somehow needs to detect whether this data is present in the xml. I haven’t started developing this aspect at all yet.
The code hopefully clarifies the structure:
<data>
<client>
<clientname>Name</clientname>
<project>
<image>Image path</image>
<description>Text Description</description>
</project>
<project>
<image>Image path</image>
<description>Text Description</description>
<extraimages>
<image>Image path</image>
<image>Image path</image>
</extraimages>
</project>
</client>
<client>
<clientname>Name</clientname>
<project>
<image>Image path</image>
<description>Text Description</description>
</project>
</client>
</data>
The main structure of the movie is built and mostly works well. I just need a developer to go through these additional features of the xml and hook them up correctly. Ideally I would like to get this knocked over by the start of next week.
I can provide the source files & go through in more detail for those interested and cost it from there. Please email tim[@]timdenton.co.uk
Thanks
Tim
