    Help me please, button with a link from xml file
    « on: 01/27/10, 06:10 »
    Hi all, first of all I'm using Flash MX and it's first time I use xml, and I'm preparing two buttons in flash getting url from a xml file... Doesn't work, of course... Can you help me please?

    That's the xml file code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <menu>
    <url>http://www.myebsite.it/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=212&I temid=262</url>
    <url>http://www.mywebsite.it/web/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=212&I temid=262</url>
    </menu>

    Here the script in flash:

    myXML     = new XML();
    myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (!    success) {
    trace("XMLfailed to load");
    } else {
    trace("load was good");
    link1 = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    link2 = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
    }
    };

    And of course the buttons have:

    on     (press) {
           getURL(link1, "_self");
    }

    on (press) {
          getURL(link2, "_self");
    }

    I really apreciate any kind of help, I'm doing it for a friend website but I'm not a pro and I'm gettin' mad!
    Thanks a lot!!!

    I dont see you are loading the xml file.

    Did you check, if the values are received ok by flash?

    do you receive an error?

    where does the file reside?
    where is the swf?

    do you use a server?
