XML not showing in Dynamic TextField ...PLEASE HELP

programming flash
1

I came across a cool tutorial on how to make a Carousel photo gallery and I am extending the tutorial by adding links to each of the photos to take the viewers to external websites.

When I compile the .FLA I can see the XML links with a trace … but I don’t know how to place them in the dynamic textField on my stage with an instances name “links”, for some reason when i use “links.htmlText=myXML;” the dynamic textField dummy text disappears… so I know everything is hooked up … i just don’t know how to get the links in the textfield area… if that makes sense?

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it … if you need any additional info please let me know… I will continue to work on it as well.

THANKS! :stuck_out_tongue:
