Editing font properties with XML

programming flash
1

Hello all!

I’m having a major issue with a script I’m not familiar with (I came into a job, having to edit another designer’s code, so I have no clue what he did or hot to edit it)

So the thing i can’t figure out is how to edit the font attribures of this flash movie, I tried goihng in and editing the xml but that didn’t do anything. I’ll post the xml and actionscript. Please help! :frowning: (note i’m not sure how to make a window thing for code so I’ll just copy paste it if that’s ok.

Actionscript

// Create a TextFormat object.

var item_spacing = 16;
var item_count = 0;
var plan1_space = 0;
var plan2_space = 0;
var speed:Number = 3;

function addDates(xml_example) {

var plan = xml_example.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
var plan2 = xml_example.firstChild.lastChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i<plan.length; i++) {


    var date_mc = _root.attachMovie("date_item", "date"+item_count, item_count);


    date_mc._y = 70+(plan1_space*item_spacing);
    date_mc._x = -40;
    date_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
        xtarget = 100;
        xdistance = xtarget-this._x;
        this._x+=xdistance/speed;
    };
    item_count++;
    plan1_space++;
    date_mc.date_txt.text = plan*.childNodes;


}
for (var i = 0; i<plan2.length; i++) {


    var date_mc = _root.attachMovie("date_item", "date"+item_count, item_count);

    date_mc._y = 70+(plan2_space*item_spacing);
    date_mc._x = 564;
    date_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
        xtarget = 270;
        xdistance = this._x-xtarget;
        this._x-=xdistance/speed;
    };
    item_count++;
    plan2_space++;
    date_mc.date_txt.text = plan2*.childNodes;



}

}

// manage XML
// create new XML object instance, remembering to ignore white space
var xml_example = new XML();
xml_example.ignoreWhite = true;
// define an onLoad to create our location menu when the XML has successfully loaded.
xml_example.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
addDates(this);
} else {
trace(“Error loading XML file”);
}// no success? trace error (wont be seen on web)
};
// load the xml file!
xml_example.load("xml_example.xml

XML

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?>

<!-- NO MORE THAN 6 DATES for either category. Any more, and there will have to be spacing changes in the FLA file–>

<!-- ALSO, you must modify the psd file (infobox_template.psd) and its jpegs that appear if no flash is present.–>
