[as1] problem parsing xml through flash var

programming flash
1

Hi,

I am building a site whereby i want to pass the xml path for my content through a flash variable with swfobject. I can trace the variable in my flash movie but can’t get the xml to parse.

The xml AS is as follows:

_global.menu_xml = new XML ();
menu_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
menu_xml.onLoad = function (ok)
{

	//
	// create main menu after successful loading of XML
	if (ok)
	{
	setState();
	} else
	{
		bad_text.text = xml_URL + " traced flashvar";
	}
};
//live xml
xml_URL = _root.xmlPath

menu_xml.load (xml_URL);

And the Swf object is this:

<script type="text/javascript">
			var flashvars = {};
			flashvars.xmlPath = "http://www.domakaya.com/09/collections/xml/ss_05.xml";	
		      
			var params = {};
			var attributes = {};
			attributes.id = "flash";
			swfobject.embedSWF("http://domakaya.com/09/collections/collections.swf", "flash", "660", "504", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
		
</script>

I am completely stuck :frowning: I thought maybe it’s not recognising the variable as a string?

Tried everything i can think of, would really appreciate some help.

Thanks,
Kam
