View 3 RepliesI bought an xml flash template and i am trying to modify it.In main.fla file there is a layer named functions. At this layer there is actionscript code where i saw this part:[code]When i push the image gallery from the main menu, then the image_gallery.swf loads. There, i have 2 categories with photos, each of whom loads title and description of images from website_xml_imagegallery_xml/category1.xml and website_ xml_ imagegallery_ xml/category2.xml. My problem is that whether i open a photo from one category or from the second category, the title and the description remain the same as the first category's. I figured out that the title and the descrption of the first photo of the second category is the same as the title and the description of the first photo of the first category and this depends of what i am using at the last line of the attached code:images.load ("website_xml_imagegallery_xml/category1.xml");So, if i write category2.xml instead of category1.xml, then the first photo of the first category will have the same title and same description as the first photo of the second category.It seems like each category cannot read from its category.xml. Look at the xml files as well.

View 2 RepliesWhat I have: A scrolling thumbnail portfolio page that is linked to external xml file so the client can add pictures as needed by adding to the xml file. (actionscript from within Flash is enclosed just in a .txt document, along with the .xml file)
What I need: To add a description to each image, so when you click on the thumbnail, it loads the larger picture, along with the description. I have a mc called description_txt where I would like the description to load for each image, but don't know how to set it up to associate with each image. I have seen XML files that call to a different .txt document for each image, with the descriptions in it, but I'm not sure of the mechanics of it. . . how I should set up the .txt file, how I can call to it, and how to revise my actionscript to retrieve it.
I have an .xml file which is one I downloaded and modified. I'm trying to get flash to read the Title and display it in txt field inside a movie clip.
Here is my xml code:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery path="Portfolio: Music/">
<image title="1 - Thomas Spencer-Wortley Concert 28-11-2008"

View 2 RepliesI am trying to load 2 arrays. The first array is a dynamic navigation menu (linkName). The second array is the corresponding title that is loaded in a dynamic textfield. For example if link1 is clicked I want the dynamic textfield to display title1 from the array if link2 is click display title2 and so on. As of right now the dynamic navigation loads fine I just cant seem to figure out a good way to do this without writing a bunch of if statements. I would like it if the programming assumed the that the length of the title array is always going to be the same length as the link array and it finds the corresponding index.
var linkName:Array=["link1","link2","link3","link4"];
var pageTitles:Array=["title1","title2","title3","title4"];
var menuHolder:Sprite = new Sprite;
addChild(menuHolder);
// loading the navigation bar

I'm trying to edit a Flash file, that get it's data from and XML file.Now when you click on one of the menu items, the page + page title should change, but somehow the page title remains the same. (at least for the first 3 menu items) But when you go to the last menu item and then back to one of the first 3 menu items, the correct page title is shown.I'm no flash / AS expert, so I can't really find out what the problem is, but it seems like it has something to do with this function

_root.getCurrentText(thisText0, _parent.num);

I have created a main "site.swf" file that loads a "default.swf" file into a container after a preloader. On this default.swf file I have buttons that needs to load new external SWF files in its place in the container. All of the external SWFs contain buttons and navigations that will also call up other external SWFs into this container. So, I would like to know how to program each button (some are movieclips as buttons) to unload itself and load the respective SWF into the container (eg. AboutUsButton to call up aboutus.swf into the container). I do not have a main navigation on the site.swf file bacause the navigation changes on each SWF that needs to be loaded into the container.
