Create a Dynamic Slideshow with ActionScript 3.0 and XML: Part 2

During its first two months, Part 1 of Pierre’s slideshow screencast pulled in over 30,000 unique pageviews, making it the most frequently visited post on Flashtuts+ to date. The comments and requests came flooding in, so back by popular demand, here’s Part 2!

Create a Dynamic Slideshow with ActionScript 3.0 and XML

In this screencast I’ll show you how to create a dynamic slideshow using ActionScript 3.0 and how to grab the images from an xml file. We’ll keep the FLA empty except for the path to our Document Class and also create a custom class that will act as the engine for the slideshow. This is a file you can use over and over again, I hope you find it useful!
