flash xml help
Hi guys, I need some help please. I made a carousel in flash with the help of a friend and he made me the xml file to load the icons for the carousel. Well my friend is now gone to back packing and im stuck on what to do because i need to hand in this coursework for thursday.

Basicly i wanted to know how would i get the xml file to call .sfw files instead of .png files.

I got the code for loading the .png files

Code:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

<icons>

<icon image="icon1.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon2.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon3.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon4.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon5.png" tootip=""

<icon image="icon6.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon7.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon8.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon9.png" tooltip=""

<icon image="icon10.png" tooltip=""
</icons>


So how would i tell it to load .sfw's would be as simple as telling it to load flash.sfw instead of icon1.png

Try it and see.  If it doesn't work, the answer is no.

Oh, and the XML syntax is wrong...

RE: flash xml help
do you want the code for the carousel then it might become clearer what the carousel does? I will try and explain it now though, basicly when you click on the image in the carousel it fades out the carousel and loads the info related to that image. So in the xml file it has all the info as you know. But how would i get it to load a .sfw because right now its now? would i have to code that in the actionscript or xml?
