XML Menu

I learnt today about making one movie talk to another within the same html page. I knew this could be done just never experimented with it. Now I need help finding a basic xml based vertical menu to load so I can make one talk to my pan viewer to play virtual tours.

Example:

[URL=“http://#”]Exterior Front
Exterior Back
Kitchen

etc…

The xml list would only need the link and name of the link title. I have search and there are plenty to buy, but none are what I am looking for plain basic. If you know of a script please post a response.

hey…youre working on a virtual tour too? anyway - your ‘example’ makes no sense - what do you want to do?

are you saying you want a navigation swf, seperate from the virtual tour swf, that loads its data from an xml, and when you click on a link in the navigation swf, it sends a command to the virtual tour swf, telling it to load a specific image?

I am in the process of making my entire page load virtual tours, and a slideshow without reloading the entiring page each time one of those functions accessed. Functions are Panoramics or the Slide Show.

In the process of doing this I found out about passing variables from one movie to another.

This is what I got so far, I have a flash movie that loads the default main photo, and to its right is the menu that lists the panoramic scenes. Both of these are 2 seperate flash files.

mainphoto.swf, and getpans.swf I now need to get the getpans.swf to talk to mainphoto.swf and based on the Panoramic clicked on will load the panoramic scene and replace the mainphoto.swf with pans.swf.

I did manage to get the menu I spoke of earlier to work. The getpans.swf loads an xml page and builds the menu. I attached the file to view.

My next task is to now work with the 360PanViewerPro from FlashLoaded.com to play the pans.
