Loading XML into SWF with FlashVars
I really need help here. I hope someone can show me where I am going wrong.
I have a SWF which I embed in a html page with flashvars (see attached txt file)
I have three .as files from which I try to take the flashVars and use to pick up an XML file and colour in symbols on the SWF file plus show some text.
None of it works after spending days trawling through sites to find solutions.
Can someone help?
Below id the complete code. I'm running CS4/AS 3.0.
