hi everyone,

I'm creating a flash movie with the objective of arrange fotos. Almost as a slider show. This .exe file will be inserted in a CD with all the photos. Now every photo in a specified album, have o figure in the bottom and only the one selected in he center, bigger.

In order to do that I tried to create, with an XML file (where photos are listed) and a for statment, a mc that contain: a Loader an a transparent button.
The button is needed to make the photo selectable. and in the loader the photo it self.

I have so the following Actionscript:

CODE

function assignsmall(){
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var xnRootNode:XMLNode = this;
nTotalButtons = xnRootNode.firstChild.childNodes.length;
        for (var i = 0; i<nTotalButtons; i++) {
            var path= xnRootNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.jpegURL;
            var numero= xnRootNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.num;
            var imgname= xnRootNode.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.imgname;
            var position= 120*i +240;
            loader= "load"+i;
            button= "btn"+i;
            trace (i+". "+path+" - "+numero+" - "+imgname+" - "+position+" - "+loader);
            loader.contentPath= path;
        }
    }
}
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.load("slides.xml");
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;

}


I have here a problem:
When I says

CODE
loader.contentPath= path;


the Actionscript will look for an mc called "button". But what I need is that it refere to the string:

CODE
loader= "load"+i;


because there will be more mc called btn1, btn2, btn3, etc..

How do I do? I tried also with setPropriety() but also with this the sintax is nameofmc.setPropriety().

If someone knows how to do that please contact is urgent..

PS: if I wrote the topic in the wrong forum, I m sorry: I didn't find any forum about flash..

10x,
bye.
