Hi I followed Lee's Creating a 3D carousel part 3.
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=34
I have constructed it as he explained. I am just trying to change one element of it. When a icon is pressed I want a larger image to be displayed instead of the current image size.
I edited the xml file:

Code:

<icon image="icon1.png" largeImage="icon1b.png" tooltip="Multi Purpose - 8'' 2108XPRO" content="LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Gnutella network. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. Limewire was the first file sharing program to support firewall-to-firewall file transfers, a feature introduced in version 4.2, which was released in November 2004.LimeWire is written in Java and therefore runs on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine installed. To facilitate installation for casual users, installation packages are available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and in the RPM format for Linux. Support for Mac OS 9 and previous versions has been dropped with LimeWire 4.0.10. The Windows version of the LimeWire installer includes a version of Sun Microsystems' Java installer which will download and install version 1.5 of the Java Runtime Environment if it detects the machine does not have a recent version of Java installed."/>

The actionscript:

This does not work as it comes up with the error opening URL undefined. My edits are highlighted in red. Any ideas how i can get this to work?
