Flash and XML having problems Undefined

1

I am trying to understand how to use XML with flash and I am trying to make this random quote generator work. Here is the code in the first key frame and on the stage is a textbox titled quotebox. I don’t get any errors with the code but when I export the movie the flash side seems to work, but it’s not loading the xml file, it states UNDEFINED in the swf.

I am thinking it’s the xml file but i am not sure. Additionally, I would like the quote to stay at alpha 100 for an interval of time, but i think i am missing something for that to take place. And would this work if i put it inside of a movie clip or does it have to be on the main timeline.

I would really appreciate any help, thank you.

trace(escape(‘" '’));
xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.load(‘quotes.xml’);
xml.onLoad = function() {
quotes = new Array();
copyQuotes = new Array();
trace(xml.firstChild);
for (q=0; q<xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; q++) {
trace(xml.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes.join(‘’));
quotes = unescape(xml.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes.join(‘’).split(’
‘).join(’
‘).split(’‘).join.split(’'‘).join(’'));
}
copyQuotes = copyQuotes.concat(quotes);
fmt = new TextFormat();
fmt.font = ‘myFont’;
quotebox.setNewTextFormat(fmt);
quotebox.embedFonts = true;
quotebox.multiline = true;
quotebox.wordWrap = true;
quotebox.autoSize = ‘center’;
quotebox._alpha = 0;
quotebox.dir = 1;
quotebox.speed = 0;
quotebox.qnum = random(copyQuotes.length);
function fla() {
quotebox.text = quotes[quotebox.qnum];
quotebox._alpha += ((quotebox.speed += .1)*quotebox.dir);
if (quotebox._alpha>=100) {
quotebox._alpha = 100;
quotebox.speed = 1;
quotebox.dir = -1;
} else if (quotebox._alpha<=-100) {
copyQuote.splice(quotebox.qnum, 1);
quotebox.qnum = random(copyQuotes.length);
quotebox._alpha = 0;
quotebox.speed = 0;
quotebox.dir = 1;
}
if (copyQuotes.length == 0) {
copyQuotes = copyQuotes.concat(quotes);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
setInterval(fla,25);
};

Here is the code inside of the XML file.

<?xml version=“1.0”?>

<quotes>
<fquotes>Test 1</fquotes>
<fquotes>Test2</fquotes>
</quotes>

Thanks again, any help would be appreciated. :wink:
