flash 8 - using the link from XML

[ashokknandha]

hello friends,

i have been trying to link xml and the button.

when the button is clicked, it should open the website specified in the xml document.
i have attached the code, could anyone say how to correct it.


function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
link1 = this.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

trace("xml loaded");
}
else{
trace("error in loading!!");
stop();
}
}

stop();
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("links.xml");
stop();

-------
data in xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<links>
<link1>http://www.yahoo.com</link1>
</links
-------

for button:

on(release){
getURL(this.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

}

-----


this is not working.
please help me in sorting out..

thanks in advance.

mike.

if you only have one link in the xml file -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<links>
<link1>http://www.yahoo.com</link1>
</links

link1 = this.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes.toString();

// on the button -
on(release){
getURL(link1, "_blank"); // Fails silently due to FlashPlayer security requirements - so upload and test online
} 

if you plan to add more links to the xml file -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<links>
<link>http://www.yahoo.com</link>
<link>http://www.yell.com</link>
<link>http://www.yellow.com</link>
</links

xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.load("links.xml");

xmlData.onLoad = function(){
linksArray = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var n=0;n!=linksArray.length;n++){
trace("linksArray["+n+"] - "+linksArray[n].childNodes);
}
};

ButtonInstanceName1.onRelease = function(){
trace(linksArray[1].childNodes);
getURL(linksArray[1].childNodes, "_blank");
}
