how to call url from xml into getURL in actionscript

[manoj382]

*******************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
<pic>
<image>2.jpg</image>
<link>

http://www.google.com</link>

</pic>
</images>

*******************

I have this simple XML document with one image and a corresponding link and would like to be able to click the image and have the user directed to the url in the link.

If I use getURL("

http://www.google.com")

it will obviously work, but I want to use a variable there instead of the actual URL so I can easily update it through the XML document. What's the syntax for this? Or am I missing something altogether?

Many thanks,
Manoj

called your xml file link.xml

code in frame 1 of the movie

url_xml = new XML();
url_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
url_xml.onLoad = function() {
	image = url_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
	link = url_xml.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
	images(image, link);
};
url_xml.load('link.xml');
function images(pic, url) {
	this.createEmptyMovieClip("_mc", 1);
	mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
	ear = new Object();
	ear.onLoadComplete = function(target) {
		target.onRelease = function() {
			getURL(url);
		};
	};
	mcl.addListener(ear);
	mcl.loadClip(pic, _mc);
}
