In my FLA i’m loading and XML file into a xmlconnector --> into a dataset --> into a datagrid.
At the moment I just have one scene and i want to add another scene. I added a scene before the original scene. I didn’t think this would work properly as I have imported tween class etc. on the first frame of the original scene. I tested and it didnt work- as in it just skipped loading the xml into the datagrid. Then i removed the scene and tested again, it worked as normal. I decided to add the scene after the original scene so i did this and tested. It didn’t work again and i don’t understand why. (i removed the added scene again and re-tested and it worked as normal).
Here’s the code on the first frame of original scene (it’s probably not very neat from a coders point of view but iv’e only just started so any suggestions on improving flow of code would be appreciated):
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
//Set datagrid styles
items_dg.setStyle(“backgroundColor”, 0xE2F2F6);
items_dg.setStyle(“headerColor”, 0x266FA6);
items_dg.setStyle(“headerColor”, 0x266FA6);
//Trigger xml load
items_xmlcon.trigger();
//Get table names for iTable
function getTabNames(){
//Get number of rows and cols from XML attributes
var rows = items_xmlcon.results.firstChild.attributes.rows;
var cols = items_xmlcon.results.firstChild.attributes.cols;
//Defines array to store col and row names for X-tab data
var colValues:Array = new Array();
var rowValues:Array = new Array();
//Array of experimental data catagory names
var colName:Array = items_dg.columnNames;
//Fill the row and col names from first data set items
for (i=0;i!=rows;i++){
var temp = items_dg.getItemAt(i);
this[“iTable.row”+i] = eval(“temp.” + colName[1]);
