XML url call

[addamtron]

hi everyone,

i'm trying to call a url from an xml file when you click a button in flash. i can't seem to get it to call the url correctly. can someone show me the correct actionscript to call the xml node, please.

EX XML:

<icons>
<icon image="icon0.JPG" theURL="http://www.google.com" content="BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" />
</icons>

i tried..
getURL(theURL, "_blank");

heh....where is the XML is it a seperate file or you created it in the flash code?
in otherWords are you talking about a flash XML object or an actuall XML file somewhere?

if its the file youll have to load it first

myXML:XML = new XML()
myXML.onLoad=function(){
trace(this)
}
myXML.load("http://www.somewhere.com/something.xml")

then
myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0]

would be
<icon image="icon0.JPG" theURL="http://www.google.com" content="BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" />

so myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0] .attributes

would be an object
object["image"]=="icon0.JPG"
object["theURL"]="http://www.google.com"
object["content"]="BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH"
