Since it doesn't allow me to edit my own post here's an update:
Here's what I have so far, this is from a tutorial:
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
var imageArray:Array = new Array();
var painterArray:Array = new Array();
var titleArray:Array = new Array();
var dateArray:Array = new Array();
//Loader event for the XML
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
var xml:XML;
loader.load(new URLRequest("mday.xml"));
function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
//load XML
xml=new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList=xml.images;
listLength=il.length();
//fill up the array from XML
populateArray();
}
function populateArray():void {
//takes the properties defined in the XML and stores them into arrays
var i:Number;
for (i = 0; i < listLength; i++) {
imageArray[i]=xml.images[i].pic;
titleArray[i]=xml.images[i].title;
painterArray[i]=xml.images[i].painter;
dateArray[i]=xml.images[i].date;
}
}
The AS is attached to a keyframe, not in its separate class.
Thanks.
