I have abbreviated some of the xml entries as I am sure that you get the general idea, but I receive a few error codes that I can’t figure out - as the same code has worked well before for me.
Firstly, I get;
1083: Syntax error: var is unexpected.
in reference to.
var xmlFrame:int = placesXML.*.(@name == e.currentTarget.name).frame
and secondly I get 4 instances (!) of;
1100: Syntax error: XML does not have matching begin and end tags.
in relation to one line of code;
var i:int = nameBtn.length;
while(i){
i--
}
nameBtn*.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showData);
function showData(e:MouseEvent):void{
var xmlFrame:int = placesXML.*.(@name == e.currentTarget.name).frame
var xmlData:XMLList = placesXML.*.(@name == e.currentTarget.name).Data
gotoAndStop(xmlFrame)
myMarker_mc.myText.htmlText = xmlData.toString()
trace(xmlData)
}
function removeMarker(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndStop(61)
}
myMarker_mc.bt_remove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, removeMarker);
function scrollUp (Event:MouseEvent):void {
myMarker_mc.myText.scrollV -= 1
}
function scrollDown (Event:MouseEvent):void {
myMarker_mc.myText.scrollV += 1
**}** //All in relation to this one right curly brace?!
myMarker_mc.bt_up.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,scrollUp);
myMarker_mc.bt_dn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, scrollDown)
Why that curly brace has anything to do with the xml I don’t know?
Thanks for helping out an eager novice!
