I'm not really a beginner (more of a novice, been coding in actionscript on and off since as1, also in vb, c#/wpf, javascript, and php), but I believe in sharing what I know if it helps others.

Hello

Hey, i'm new to this so all keep it short and sweet. I'm a first timer with the action scripts and at the moment i have download a flash template but i am running into trouble when i'm trying to alter the location from where it retrieves it's images from. i would like to change this to a local folder in order for me to test it and then make the necessary alterations.


here are the lines that i think need to be changed



var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.free-flash-templates.biz/data/pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var xmlList:XMLList;
myXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fileLoad ed);
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);

thankz in advance

regards

Dear Jay,

Check the XML file you have in 'http://www.free-flash-templates.biz/data/pics.xml' it contains all the paths that app will fetch images for e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<galleries>
<gallery id="1" name="nature">
<image width="121" height="161" image="_nature_01.jpg"/>
<image width="221" height="161" image="_nature_02.jpg"/>
....

and if you want to change the path of the XML fine you have to edit that URL and keep the file on localhost for e.g.

new URLRequest("web folder/data/pics.xml");

Good Luck.

Hey everyone, Im kinda new to actionscript all together, Ive been studying it now for about 3 months and love everything about it so far. I have been doing web design/ photoshop graphics for about 6 years now and i am looking to move towards developing websites and programs in as3. I feel I will bring more questions than answers to the table. But I will try to help the best I can.

Greetings!

I've been working with AS2 since 2003 and just started working with AS3 this year. I'm working on a couple of video projects up at work and am working on a game at home.
