Hi there, here is my second XML problem for the day.
here is the actionscript:
function populateNews(news_xml){
var items = news_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes
for(var i=0; i<items.length; i++){
if(items*.attributes.head == "Storyheadline"){
var headline = items*.firstChild;
var item_mc = attachMovie("headline_mc","headline_mc"+z, this.getNextHighestDepth());
item_mc._x = 137.9;
item_mc._y = 281.1;
item_mc.heading1.text = headline.nodeValue;
trace(headline);
}
}
}
var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) populateNews(this)
else trace("Error loading file");
}
my_xml.load("news.xml");
and here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<news>
<newsarticles>
<article head = "Storyheadline">
<articlehead>This is the first story</articlehead>
<article1>
<![CDATA[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore

</article1>
</article>
</newsarticles>
</news>
Problem is my text box in the item_mc instance gives me a null. When I trace the headline variable I get <articlehead>This is the first story</articlehead>, which is correct, but I cant seem to parse the nodevalue from the XML?
