Dynamically loaded links

[Medyman]

It should work.

Are you sure that the string is like this:

getURL(xml variable, "main")

It should work.

getURL(xml variable, "main")

All works now. I just read in another thread somewhere that you shouldnt put the " around it. Is that why the _self didnt work either?

getURL(xml variable, _self)

or

getURL(xml variable, "_self")

Well it works very well now. Thank you so much again.

Problem solved...

[Medyman]

I'm not sure what you mean...

On your example page, I'm seeing your tooltips. The problem seems to be that you're not setting up the XML right (i.e. it's linking to "undefined").

[andy1]

Ok, so how do I fix that?

[Medyman]

Ok, so that is your problem.

I was just checking because it sounded like you were saying that the entire tooltip dissappeared.

I downloaded your source files and according to your XML file, your link is located here:

xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.link

where i is the index of the image being clicked.


So, to add a link to each item in your carousel, add the following bit to your xml.onLoad function:

t.m_mc.id = i
t.m_mc.onRelease = function() {
    trace (xml.firstChild.childNodes[this.id].attributes.link)
}

You can also get rid of the "released" function.

Thanks alot!

How do I open the windows resized, centered and without navigationbar? I'm really crappy with java...

The code for just opening the window:

t.m_mc.id = i
t.m_mc.onRelease = function() {
getURL (xml.firstChild.childNodes[this.id].attributes.link)
}

1. I forgot to mention that the "trace" function is just for testing purposes.

If you want it to open the link, you'll have to use the getURL method with the same string as I used in the trace.


2. To get it to open in another window, use:

getURL(xml.firstchild.childNodes[this.id].attributes.link, _blank);

3. I think what you're referring to is a chromeless window. Instructions are here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...chromeless.htm.

However, these don't work with new tabbed browsers (i.e. Firefox, IE7).
