XML _blank URL Linkage.... [MX04]

**mistercheezit** · 04-16-2007, 02:45 PM

Hello,
My flash file pulls in some XML info to make hyperlinks. However, I can't seem to figure out how to make the links come up in new (_blank) windows.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Brian

XML code:

<broadcast>
<story>
<lead>Project Title</lead>
<body>Description of project goes here.</body>
<URL>http://www.mylink.com</URL>
</story>
</broadcast>

AS:

// The first step is to activate the XML object
headlineXML = new XML();
/*
With the XML Object now active you must now load an XML foramtted document.
Any DTD or XLS formatting will be ignored.
*/
headlineXML.onLoad = myLoad;
headlineXML.load("headlines.xml");
// Before proceeding to far into the program, make sure the XML document has loaded
// Extract information from the XML file
function myLoad(ok) {
if (ok == true) {
Publish(this.firstChild);
}
}

function Publish(HeadlineXMLNode) {
if (HeadlineXMLNode.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BROADCAST") {
content = "";
story = HeadlineXMLNode.firstChild;
while (story != null) {
if (story.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "STORY") {
lead = "";
body = "";
URL = "";
element = story.firstChild;
while (element != null) {
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "LEAD") {
lead = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BODY") {
body = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "URL") {
URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
element = element.nextSibling;
}
content += "<a href='"+URL+"'>"+lead+"</a> "+body+" ";
txt.htmltext=content;
}
story = story.nextSibling;
}
}
}

Code:

content += "<font size='+2' color='#ffffff'><a href='asfunction:myFunction,"+Url+"'>"+lead+"</a></font><br>"+body+"<br><br>";
txt.htmlText=content;

function myFunction(param){
trace(param);
getURL(param, "_blank");
};
