How to control a buttons link using xml

[whispers]

you would just use the value in that particular node as the value of the VAR in the getURL method.

example:

button1.onPress = function() {
    getURL(xmlDocument.childNode[0].firstChild.nodeValue);
}

or wherever the node really is.

heres a quick example: (although Im not sure HOW your link is going to be set up..here I just used a textField to not only DISPLAY the value of the NODE.but use that value AS the URL to go to:

example:

var myXML:XML = new XML("<Details><Username>(ip) R o l i e (ip) ~ (#)</Username><PSM>http://www.nike.com</PSM><Status>Online</Status></Details>");

trace("WHOLE XML: "+myXML);
/////
trace(newline);
////
//username node
trace("Full User Node: "+myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0]);
trace("User Node Name: "+myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0].nodeName);
trace("User Value: "+myXML.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);
/////
trace(newline);
////
//psm node
trace("Full PSM Node: "+myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1]);
trace("PSM Node Name: "+myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].nodeName);
trace("PSM Value: "+myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue);
linkField_txt.text = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
var myformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myformat.url = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
linkField_txt.setTextFormat(myformat);
