Hi!

I´m trying to give each icon of the carousel a link to a different swf file, but because it is dynamicly download from an external .xml file ....I don´t how to make the icons links in xml or how to refer to each icon in Action Script 2.0 and make them buttons with links.

This is my code in Action Script...
Code: [ Select ]

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function()
{
    var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
    numOfItems = nodes.length;
    for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
    {
        var t = home.attachMovie("item","item"+i,i+1);
        t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
        t.onEnterFrame = mover;
        t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
        t.content = nodes[i].attributes.content;
        t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
        t.r.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
        t.icon.onRollOver = over;
        t.icon.onRollOut = out;
        t.icon.onRelease = released;
    }
}

function released()
{
    //BONUS Section
    var sou:Sound = new Sound();
    sou.attachSound("sdown");
    sou.start();
    
    home.tooltip._alpha = 0;
    for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
    {
        var t:MovieClip = home["item"+i];
        t.xPos = t._x;
        t.yPos = t._y;
        t.theScale = t._xscale;
        delete t.icon.onRollOver;
        delete t.icon.onRollOut;
        delete t.icon.onRelease;
        delete t.onEnterFrame;
        if(t != this._parent)
        {
            var tw:Tween = new Tween(t,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,t._xscale,0,1,true);
            var tw2:Tween = new Tween(t,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,t._yscale,0,1,true);
            var tw3:Tween = new Tween(t,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,0,1,true);
        }
        else
        {
            var tw:Tween = new Tween(t,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,t._xscale,100,1,true);
            var tw2:Tween = new Tween(t,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,t._yscale,100,1,true);
            var tw3:Tween = new Tween(t,"_x",Strong.easeOut,t._x,200,1,true);
            var tw4:Tween = new Tween(t,"_y",Strong.easeOut,t._y,320,1,true);
            var tw5:Tween = new Tween(theText,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,100,1,true);
            theText.text = t.content;
            var s:Object = this;
            tw.onMotionStopped = function()
            {
                s.onRelease = unReleased;
            }
        }
    }
}
  2. var xml:XML = new XML();
  3. xml.ignoreWhite = true;
  5. xml.onLoad = function()
  6. {
  7.     var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
  8.     numOfItems = nodes.length;
  9.     for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)

  12.         t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/numOfItems);
  13.         t.onEnterFrame = mover;
  14.         t.toolText = nodes[i].attributes.tooltip;
  15.         t.content = nodes[i].attributes.content;
  16.         t.icon.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
  17.         t.r.inner.loadMovie(nodes[i].attributes.image);
  18.         t.icon.onRollOver = over;
  19.         t.icon.onRollOut = out;
  20.         t.icon.onRelease = released;
  21.     }
  22. }
  24. function released()
  25. {
  26.     //BONUS Section
  27.     var sou:Sound = new Sound();
  28.     sou.attachSound("sdown");
  29.     sou.start();
  30.     
  31.     home.tooltip._alpha = 0;
  32.     for(var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)
  33.     {
  34.         var t:MovieClip = home["item"+i];
  35.         t.xPos = t._x;
  36.         t.yPos = t._y;
  37.         t.theScale = t._xscale;
  38.         delete t.icon.onRollOver;
  39.         delete t.icon.onRollOut;
  40.         delete t.icon.onRelease;
  41.         delete t.onEnterFrame;
  42.         if(t != this._parent)
  43.         {
  44.             var tw:Tween = new Tween(t,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,t._xscale,0,1,true);
  45.             var tw2:Tween = new Tween(t,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,t._yscale,0,1,true);
  46.             var tw3:Tween = new Tween(t,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,100,0,1,true);
  47.         }
  48.         else
  49.         {
  50.             var tw:Tween = new Tween(t,"_xscale",Strong.easeOut,t._xscale,100,1,true);
  51.             var tw2:Tween = new Tween(t,"_yscale",Strong.easeOut,t._yscale,100,1,true);
  52.             var tw3:Tween = new Tween(t,"_x",Strong.easeOut,t._x,200,1,true);
  53.             var tw4:Tween = new Tween(t,"_y",Strong.easeOut,t._y,320,1,true);
  54.             var tw5:Tween = new Tween(theText,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,100,1,true);
  55.             theText.text = t.content;
  56.             var s:Object = this;
  57.             tw.onMotionStopped = function()
  58.             {
  59.                 s.onRelease = unReleased;
  60.             }
  61.         }
  62.     }
  63. }

same way you do an image... just make a fla of each icon, publish it as a swf and replace the "icon1.png, icon2.png," etc with icon1.swf, etc.
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!
