Hi, I found a script from developphp.com, what it does is to make a button menu with elements from a external xml file. the fla has nothing no stage besides as3 script. It creates a 'rect' with as3 and then load the 'text' and 'link' into it from xml file.

What I want to change is instead of creating the 'rect', it input an image from the xml file, and turn it to a button the same way like how the 'rect' was like.

This is the as3 script, it's working.

Thank yo for helping

Correct answer teeronline

I think i forgot to mention my script does run and images work as button just fine, but when I click them it gave that error

"ReferenceError: Error #1069: 在 flash.display.Loader cannot find ccc，no value

    at MethodInfo-4()."

I checked line by line with the original script for hours I don't find what original script has that I don't cause the difference.


problem solved, .. I change the 'e.target.ccc' to 'e.currentTarget.ccc', i still don't understand why target.ccc work for original but not mine, but the buttons work now.

function clipClick(e:Event):void {

                    trace(e.target.ccc);       

                      var targetURL:String = e.currentTarget.ccc;  << -- change from 'e.target.ccc' to 'e.currentTarget.ccc'

                      var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(targetURL);

                      navigateToURL(urlRequest);

             }

I modified the code, this is what I got so far, and this is where I got stuck, it gave me error:

"ReferenceError: Error #1069: 在 flash.display.Loader cannot find ccc，no value

    at MethodInfo-4()."

but then I traced 'ccc' and it shows the correct the links that I have on xml.
