xml with title and description

[itgranny]

I was hoping that example 3 was xml driven. (the one with the title and description). Is this possible? will the component bring in the xml for the text?

[David]

Yes, it's possible.

Just use this XML:

Code: Select all

<images>
   <image source="images/image1.jpg" title="Image 1" description="This is the 1st image."/>
   <image source="images/image2.jpg" title="Image 2" description="This is the 2nd image."/>
   <image source="images/image3.jpg" title="Image 3" description="This is the 3rd image."/>
   <image source="images/image4.jpg" title="Image 4" description="This is the 4th image."/>
   <image source="images/image5.jpg" title="Image 5" description="This is the 5th image."/>
   <image source="images/image6.jpg" title="Image 6" description="This is the 6th image."/>
   <image source="images/image7.jpg" title="Image 7" description="This is the 7th image."/>
   <image source="images/image8.jpg" title="Image 8" description="This is the 8th image."/>
   <image source="images/image9.jpg" title="Image 9" description="This is the 9th image."/>
   <image source="images/image10.jpg" title="Image 10" description="This is the 10th image."/>
</images>

and then use this code to display the title and description:

Code: Select all

mySlideshow.addEventListener(SlideshowEvent.ITEM_COMPLETE, itemCompleteHandler);

function itemCompleteHandler(event:SlideshowEvent):void
{
   title.text = event.data.title;
   description.text = event.data.description;
}

You can also take a look at dataSlideshow.fla which takes the title and description from the images_data.xml file.

I'm sorry. I shoudl have looked everything over more carefully. Thank you. this works beautifully.

[David]

No problem. Let me know whenever you have a question.

I am having similar problems with bringing in a title and description.

This is the error I have getting. I used example 4, and selected all the code given by you, David.

1119: Access of possibly undefined property data through a reference with static type com.flashotaku.slideshow.events:SlideshowEvent.

You can email me the files (contact [at] flashotaku [dot] com) and I'll take a look.
