    A Simple XML-Based Searchable Database - The Button Scripts


    (Page 5 of 5 )

    The Name Buttons

    The script is simple. We execute the function showModels and specify the arguments as shown here for one button.


    on (release) {
      showModel("monica","fmodels.xml");
    }


    The Submit Search Button

    We execute the search function.


    on (release) {
      searchModel();
    }

     
    Conclusion

    I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and get interested in Flash - XML applications. I myself am at a beginner´s stage and I want to learn more. If you have any clues to cut down the script or to extend to new areas such as incorporating links and so on, let me know. I hope there will be more tutorials in the future. One of the reasons why I made this tutorial is because there is very limited literature about Flash and XML. Happy flashml!
