xml/as2 list of text and images

Hi all,

I've been searching all over but can't find out how to do this. Maybe some one knows a tutorial they could point me to?

I'd like to have a scrollable list of text, an image to the left of each item and I'd like to do this with xml.

I've been searching round but I can only find out how to import one or the other not both in one scrolling element.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Just t know if it's possible would be great.

If you're talking the built in components, I'm inclined to say no. I've never come across it before, at least.

You can always create your own ;)

in a nutshell:

XML:
create an xml with your image, text pairing, either like:

Code:

---

<myItem image="myImage.jpg" text="some text here" />
...

---

or:

Code:

---

<myItem>
  <image>MyImage.jpg</image>
  <text>Some text here</text>
</myItem>

---

AS3:
* load your xml
* parse it and split out your info - maybe hold in in objects or your own class
* create a holder movieclip
* for each pairing, create a movieclip inside the holder movieclip
* create a textfield instead this movieclip, set it to the text of the object
* create a loader and load your image - when it's loaded, add it as a child to this movieclip
* make it scroll by moving the y value (or x for horizontal) of your holder movieclip and hiding the excess with a mask or something
* if you want to create scrollbars etc - the math's not hard
