Hi Gustavo,
You will need to either create a button at run time, or attach one from the
library.
Since each image will need to be with an assosiated button, you might as
well load them both into a container MovieClip and then assign that
container a variable with the link address to it so that the button can
reference it.
<?xml version"1.0"?>
<pic link="linkname.com"> model1.jpg</pic>
<pic ...
//AS code
dataArray = [];
for (var i in XMLoader.childNodes) {
dataArray[i] = {};
if (XMLoader.childNodes[i].nodeName == "pic") {
dataArray[i].img =XMLoader.childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue;
dataArray[i].link= XMLoader.childNodes[i].attributes.link;
}
}
you can now reference any ellement in the array.
for each ellement in the array, create a unique named container MovieClip
and then assign it a button and an image.
to assosiate the links, just make the unique created parent MovieClip have
the property dataArray[i].link.
The button simply calls the link in it's parent 'link' property.
Hopefully you can figure out this second half of the code yourself.
:-)
Good luck,
seb.

Hi I found this quite interesting do you mind to explain this in more
detail. Actually I'm looking to create a pictures menu and viewer
base on the xml file,
a loop to assign this
the xml.
<?xml version"1.0"?>
<pic> model1.jpg</pic>
<pic> model2.jpg</pic>
<pic> model3.jpg</pic>
<pic> model1.jpg</pic>
and in the as2, well I'm not sure about how to do it. but I'll need a
loop to read each child in a mc and then add to them an onRelease
behaviour in order to have them as buttons,
would you help me Seb?
