Hello people
I am trying to do something and have come up against a brick wall and was hoping for some help.
The tutorial named above is all about importing an image into flash using xml.
I have successfully imported one image, however I would like to have a duplicate smaller image as well.
Here is my actionscript
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
[COLOR=Red]thumb = [];[/COLOR]
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
[COLOR=Red]thumb = xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;**[/COLOR]
}
firstImage();
} else {
content = “file not loaded!”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“images.xml”);
// ///////////////////////////////////
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
}
};
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
};
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
};
// ///////////////////////////////////
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
}
}
};
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
}
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p–;
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
}
}
function firstImage() {
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1);
[COLOR=Red]thumb.loadMovie(thumb[0], 1);[/COLOR]
desc_txt.text = description[0];
picture_num();
}
}
function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
}
The red script is what I have changed since the original tutorial.
The xml is as such
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” standalone=“yes”?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>simon.jpg</image>

Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.
Please treat me like an idiot when responding, as I am not very compotent when it comes to actionscript or flash!
Thanking everyone in advance
Cameron
