Preloading images from XML into Flash
- by tykebikemike
I know this has been asked to death, but I cant seem to find the answer i'm looking for...
I've put together a simple Flash/XML image gallery and I would like to preload the images - Simple process.
Get the XML data
Preload the images
When all images are preloaded, go to next frame
Here is my code thus far:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("xmltest.xml");
myXML.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
var myImage = myXML.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<myImage.length; i++){
var imageNumber = i+1;
var imageName = myImage[i].attributes.name;
var imageURL = myImage[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
trace('image #: ' + imageNumber);
trace('image name: ' + imageName);
trace('image url: ' + imageURL + '\n');
}
}
}
