Hi all,
I am in the early stages of creating a website for a paint and home decorating company, through the use of Flash and XML. You can view it here:
http://www.roymuir.com/clients/dulux/index.html
You can view the different images by clicking the numbers below the image. At the moment, only the red section works, so don’t worry about the iimage thumbnails. When the numbers are clicked on, they load the corresponding image from an XML file.
When I test the SWF in Flash, it works fine. The preloader pops up, the movie clip that loads the images is set to an _alpha of 0, and when the preloader is finished loading, the movie clip is faded in to 100 through a little AS. It works perfectly fine in Internet Explorer as well, just how I intended it.
However, when viewing in FireFox, things go a little awry. The initial image loads in fine. However, when you click on a number to view a different image, the dynamic text(also loading from XML), pops up before the preloader is done, and the image just pops in instead of fading in.
I think it has something to do with FF handling XML differently to IE.
If anyone has multiple browsers on their comp, could they please check out my site to see the difference. Any help would be appreciated as it looks rubbish in FF at the moment, and I want to get it to look how it does in IE.
Thanks,
