flash image menu

[little rax]

i wanna create a flash menu with external image and text
something like this : http://indiafm.com/
all i know about this menu is , it's taking data from a external .html file
and the action used for that is

// Action script...

// [onClipEvent of sprite 30 in frame 6]
onClipEvent (load)
{
this.stop();
}

// [Action in Frame 1]
this.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if (_root.getBytesLoaded == _root.getBytesTotal)
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
nextFrame ();
}
else
{
stop ();
} // end else if
};
Stage.showMenu = false;

// [Action in Frame 2]
dataload = new LoadVars();
dataload.sendAndLoad("http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/topbanner/promo.html", dataload, "GET");
dataload.onLoad = function (success)
{
if (success)
{
if (dataload.done eq "ok")
{
promodata = dataload.promodata;
nextFrame ();

} // end if
}
else
{
dataload.sendAndLoad("http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/topbanner/promo.html", dataload, "GET");
} // end else if
};
stop ();

// [Action in Frame 3]
tempPromo = promodata.split("|");
imgPath = [];
imgTitle = [];
mainTitle = [];
info = [];
author = [];
targ = [];
urlPath = [];
for (i = 0; i < tempPromo.length; i++)
{
a = tempPromo[i].split("#");
imgPath[i] = a[0];
imgTitle[i] = a[1];
mainTitle[i] = a[2];
info[i] = a[3];
author[i] = a[4];
targ[i] = a[5];
urlPath[i] = a[6];
} // end of for
gotoAndStop("home");

// [Action in Frame 4]
function imageLoad()
{
loadMovie(imgPath[cnt], "imgHold");
this.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if (imgHold.getBytesLoaded() == imgHold.getBytesTotal() && imgHold.getBytesLoaded() > 4)
{
if (cnt < 5)
{
++cnt;
imageLoad();
}
else
{
delete this.onEnterFrame;
gotoAndPlay("home");
} // end if
} // end else if
};
} // End of the function
cnt = 0;
imageLoad();
stop ();

// [Action in Frame 6]
function nextTab()
{
info_MC.gotoAndPlay("fadeOut");
eval("tabs." + tabs.storePan).tabPanel.gotoAndStop(1);
eval("tabs.panel" + cnt).tabPanel.gotoAndStop(2);
tabs.storePan = eval("_root.tabs.panel" + cnt);
} // End of the function
var cnt = 0;

// [Action in Frame 7]
function executeCallback()
{
if (count >= maxCount)
{
if (cnt < 6)
{
++cnt;
}
else
{
cnt = 0;
} // end else if
nextTab();
image_MC.alphaRed();
clearInterval(intervalId);
nextFrame ();
} // end if
++count;
} // End of the function
var intervalId;
var count = 0;
var maxCount = 250;
var duration = 20;
intervalId = setInterval(this, "executeCallback", duration);
stop ();

// [Action in Frame 8]
stop ();

// [Action in Frame 9]
gotoAndStop("timeOut");

It's actually getting PHP from the file, not html which you won't get by decompiling the movie. (Sucks when they can tell, huh?)

Your best bet is to figure out exactly what you want, loading via XML, PHP or plain txt. Then finding a good tutorial or open source (type) .fla that you can see the entire code and know how it works.

Flashmatics has a few such players to learn from/use.
