[RESOLVED] Help with loading swf with xml

[sherwoodbear79]

Hi I am new looking for pointing in the right direction.

I have built a carousel currently loading images via xml. But what I am looking to have is swf loading in each block. I need help with the syntax in flash and xml as I am having trouble finding info on web.

Hope you can help!

Many thanks in advance.

Can you post your current code here?

I am a newbie, first adventure in classes and xml for a university assignment!
Ideally I want to click the carousel zoom up to user and a swf start. Hope that make sense!
here you go - xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<images>
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
<image src="img/Layer-1.png" />
</images>

Code below all i really want is to load swf instead of images which play on user clicks. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reply i thought it maybe something to do with event target.

Just a quickie in the xml how would I link to the swf.

would it be something like <load = example.swf or 1?/>
and how would the it load to each separate swf?

Not tryed the code yet I am in work shortly.
Just need some explanation as I like to understand whats going on.

Thanks for your help, really appreciated!

[dawsonk]

Just replace the filenames for the pngs with the filenames for the swfs in the xml file.
