Hi all, new here, after numerous hours googling I came across this forum and it looks as if someone may be abl to help me.
I'm Trying to add the Lightbox effect to my Flash movie but I just keep hitting a brick wall (metaphorically speaking, things haven't got that bad...yet)
Anyway to cut to the chase here's how my site works, brace yourselves
my_xml_data.xml >loads into> my_flash_portfolio.swf >loads into> my_dynamic_php_content.inc loads into>mywebsite.php
I think he .inc file can be ignored really as a stumbling block as it just contains the .swf's which I have working fine.
Here's the current build:- http://proofing.freeline-gfx.co.uk/p...ures_print.php ignore the silly button lol
What I'd like to add is the lightbox function when people click on the main image. I've read a few posts here explaining how to go about this but i'm still not able to get it working... well to be honest I'm not really sure how to implement it into my code.
Here's my Actionscript:- (well action script I purchased, jigged around to suit my design so it's probably a right mess, but it works!) Followed by my xml & php
Code:
// The following is for the thumbnails and big image
var myXML2:XML = new XML();
myXML2.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML2.load("portfolio.xml");
