loadMovie action clicking a category name

[javierdealfonso]

Hello Adrian,
I have to load a swf containing a voiceover that reads the title of the category when you click on it, but I don't find a category select handler. Could you help me find where to tweak this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi again,
I've found a solution that meets my needs.
To load a swf when clicking on a category, we can use the variable "lbl" that contains the current category name.
In Playlist.as I add a line to the function that starts in line 64:

private function setLabel(lbl:String) {
function xxx() {
this.text = lbl;
}
Tweener.addTween(Title, {_alpha:0, transition:"easeInQuad", time:.3, onComplete:xxx});
Tweener.addTween(Title, {_alpha:100, transition:"easeOutQuad", time:.3, delay:.5});
//HERE STARTS THE CODE LOADING THE SWF THAT READS THE CATEGORY NAME
_root.loaderVoices.loadMovie ("voices/"+lbl+".swf");
//HERE ENDS THE CODE LOADING THE SWF THAT READS THE CATEGORY NAME
}

I hope it's useful for someone else.

Why don't you use the handler function ?
You have the sample code in the help file:

<item title="New mayor to tone down glitz" clip="clips/contact.swf" />
....
PList_mc.onItemSelect= function(n:XMLNode){ 
	your_movie_clip.loadMovie(n.attributes.clip);
 }

Simply replace your_movie_clip with the instance name of the movie clip in which you want to load the external movie clip.

Hi Adrian,
I'm sorry for the late response, I haven't connected lately.

I think the code you propose here, and that can be found in the help file, is for loading an external swf when clicking an "item" (page icon), but I needed to load an external swf containing a voiceover that reads the name of a "category" (folder icon) when clicking on it.

Anyway I have now the need to show in the textbox (result_txt) not only the name of the item clicked but the complete route (category1/category2/.../item), so I'm opening a new thread.

Thanks in advance.
