      Great one Clemente, really awesome,
      what I’d like to learn… xml,xml, and more xml…
      I always wanted to c a really great tutorial about how to create professional flash portfolio, website.. It’d be really cool

      A little advice: next time increase the font size of the code, there is an option in edit > preferences for it.

      For another tuto… maybe a way to create an XML from flash (a dynamic swf able to i mean)? or maybe a way to create dinamic buttons (with dymaic functions) using info from a XML?

      Thanks!

      I am not sure if I am having a brain fart or not, but this is what I am curious about:

      Navigating the XML tree in AS3 = Simple enough.
      Loading Multiple XML files with your class = Very cool and easy enough.

      For some reason I can’t put the two together, I’m not sure if I am not thinking logically enough or not.

      My example is :

      url
      Image 1

      so lets say this is the 5th xml doc loaded in called “galleryfive” in your load array.

      I have been able to load the different XML doc’s easy enough, but retrieving the specific node information has stumped me.

    Hey man great work!!!!

    Just trying to get it to work proper though…
    getting security error #2080 when trying to access my RSS feed.

    Any help would be great

    Excellent tutorial and a great class you have there. Works perfectly.

  12. Jason says:

    terribly hard to read text in video

  13. Square says:

    Watched the vid tut, seemed to be pretty sweet. Afterwards ive tried the source, But all i get is a couple of errors with “Error opening URL … XML file … could not be loaded and skipped”

    I get that for the 4 feeds that where used in the tut, and also for costom feeds.

    Tryd for more then an hour to solve it, is it just me or am i missing something?
