I read the excellent tutorial included on this site, but I am afraid that I am too stupid to genearalize the content and parse it to a new problem. I just don’t get it. I have tried to get it, for days and days I’ve tried. But I really don’t.
I just can’t make this work. I understand arrays in theory, but apparently not in code. Because what I am doing just isn’t working.
My xml document is pretty simple
<tool1>
<section type=“st”>
<TopHeading>Intro</TopHeading>
<subHeading>Scenario</subHeading>
<content>Twenty words</content>
<subHeading>Discussion</subHeading>
</section>
<section type=“b1”>
<TopHeading>Syntax</TopHeading>
<subHeading>Options</subHeading>
<content>Twenty words</content>
<subHeading>Discussion</subHeading>
<content>Twenty words</content>
</section>
<section type=n>
</section>
</tool>
I was able to load this file and display it, but now that I need to parse it, I can’t make anything show.
This is what I am doing, can someone, anyone tell me what is wrong?
Also, if someone can explain this array process so I can understand it, I would be very gratefull (but hey, I’m really asking too much now).
Here is the code that in my ignorance and naivety, I had so hoped would make my day. But after about seven hours (today), websites, books, and lost hair, I am as stumped now as I was when I started.
//init TextArea component
content_txt.html = true;
content_txt.wordWrap = true;
content_txt.multiline = true;
content_txt.label.condenseWhite=true;
Textarea_Instance.condenseWhite=true;
/******************************/
//load css
modStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
modStyle.load(“Mod.css”);
content_txt.styleSheet = modStyle;
/******************************/
//load in XML
modContent = new XML();
modContent.ignoreWhite = true;
modContent.load(“Mod1.xml”);
ModContent.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
var Mod1Content = this.firstChild.firstChild.nodeName;
content_exe.html = Mod1Content [0];
}else{ content_txt.text = “Error loading XML”;
}
};
//this brings no joy
