Flash Help! =[
hey,
I've been working on this News Headline box for sometime now I'm using actionscript 2 on it, and i've got to a point where i need help.
http://www.urbanreel.com/headlinesbox.swf <-- thats what i have so far.
http://www.urbanreel.com/home <-- if your curious enough to see it in action.
Basically, I want the 'Read More' button to be a link to the article/tutorial/whatever. But I can't get the button to work - I'm loading all the data via XML.
Now, I've got everything else working minus the button. I'll be honest i don't have the faintest idea how to add the button into my code.Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <images> <pic> <image>http://img1.urbanreel.com/flashslide/slideOne.jpg</image> <caption>How to ollie</caption> <body>In the first ever tutorial on UrbanReel, Ash teaches you how to ollie on a skate board. So what you waiting for come check it out!</body> <link>http://urbanreel.com/photos/all</link> </pic> etc etc... </images>
The AS Code:
Code:function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild; image = []; description = []; body = []; linkurl = []; total = xmlNode.childNodes.length; for (i=0; i<total; i++) { image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue; description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue; body[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue; linkurl[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue; } 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]; body_txt.text = body[p]; picture_num(); } } } function prevImage() { if (p>0) { p--; picture._alpha = 0; picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1); desc_txt.text = description[p]; body_txt.text = body[p]; picture_num(); } } function firstImage() { if (loaded == filesize) { picture._alpha = 0; picture.loadMovie(image[0], 1); desc_txt.text = description[0]; body_txt.text = body[0]; picture_num(); } } function picture_num() { current_pos = p+1; pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total; }
So if anyone can offer a solution to my problem I will be very grateful!
