flash (macromedia):
Does anyone know if there is a way to load transparent png's or gif's via XML?
I have done it with non-progresive jpeg's, however when using transparent
images it does not work.
I understand that the Flash Player 8 is supposed to support transparency,
which I have tested on the beta version successfully.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
AB
P.S. Here is the AS I'm using:
stop ();
function loadXML (loaded)
{
if (loaded)
{
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
description2 = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i = 0; i < total; i++)
{
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
description2[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
firstImage ();
}
else
{
content = "file not loaded!";
}
}
xmlData = new XML ();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load ("images.xml");

}
};
Key.addListener (listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function ()
{
prevImage ();
};
next_btn.onRelease = function ()
{

}

{

{

}
}
};
function nextImage ()
