I want to import images into my .swf using an external xml file. I have found many tutorials regarding this but they are for creating image galleries. I dont want an image gallery, I just want to learn how to import an image via XML without all the extra hub-bub. I have my xml file set up like so:
Code: [ Select ]
<images>
  <pic>
    <image>images/newyorknights.jpg</image>
    <caption>People crossing the street on West 3rd.</caption>
  </pic>
 </images>
  1. <images>
  2.   <pic>
  3.     <image>images/newyorknights.jpg</image>
  4.     <caption>People crossing the street on West 3rd.</caption>
  5.   </pic>
  6.  </images>


Thank you in advance.

its called loading ...
and what happens is you dont actually import anything , the XML file has the location of the jpegs which then you should write a script that has an array to store all the data ...

just like the image gallery tutorials ...


need help with that ?
