Hi, there all
I have a script wich loads XML structured text, and one line or tag has an URL-hyperlink wich works fine… BUT I find out that instead of going to an URL when clicking this active-xml-text I need a gotoAndStop() … IS IT POSIBLE?
thanks all of you!

well, depending on how you are setting up xml doc.
````php
```php
do something like that and when you parse:
````
myframe = Number(myxml.childNodes[nodeNum].attributes.gAP);
gotoAndPlay(myframe);
```auto
```

Thanks for all your help!
I successfuly generate variables with attributes, but now the text is no longer hyperlink active (mouse does not react to it) now that I use attributes to pass variables how do I say to flash that if you click that line gotoAndStop…bla…bla…

Yeah, it’s possible. You can use the [font=courier new]asfunction[/font] protocol to call the [font=courier new]gotoAndStop()[/font] function.
That would be something along these lines:
```php
Frame 2? Go!
```
```auto
var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
my_txt.html = true;
my_txt.htmlText = this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
}
};
my_xml.load("file.xml");
```
And run a search for “asfunction” in the forum, you should find some threads about it. 😉

que onda kode…
It works fine, but now i have a nother question: instead of using a number or label to go to; how can i use a global variable wich contains the frame I want it to go to. (the value of this global comes from an attribute from the XML, I test it and it shows the exact value)
Gracias!
