Using xml to hold and display info of some photo MC's???

[leonard_770]

Hi,

I'm creating a movie where a photo appears ramdomly on the stage every couple of moments, (all the photos are movie clips from the library and are not external).
When you rollover this photo MC a description box pops up with a few lines of text.

Is it possible to use xml to import these descriptions texts, so that I can say that if the image name is 'image01', then to import the text in the xml file called 'info01', and then '02', '03', etc…?

I've very limited knowledge of flash & xml and I've looked at the slideshow tutorials using xml and they seem very complicated.

I'd like something simple so that it's easy to update the descriptions later on as there's 100 of them.

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Lenny.

your in the xml forum, so heres an xml answer

make it all xml:

< images >
___< image file="image1.jpg" title="first image" desc="whatever" / >
___< image file="image2.jpg" title="second image" desc="more" / >
< / images >

create a class, i know, it sounds hard but here it is
function anImage()
{
___this.file="";
___this.title="";
___this.desc="";
}

now, read the xml, make a new anImage for each node
push each anImage into an array
load the images when ever you want

good luck
