[Flash8] looping childNodes

programming flash
1

Hey all,
I am having some troubles with my XML. What seems to be the problem to me is that when I try to get the a childNode using a like and referencing an idex, its getting that childNodes children and so on. Or so I think. I’m likely wrong though since I still can’t figure it out.

Anyways, here’s the AS:

var container_xml:XML = new XML();
 container_xml.onLoad = startXML;
 container_xml.load("container_xml.xml");
 container_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
  function startXML(success){
    if (success == true){
       rootNode = container_xml.firstChild
    }
 }
  ........
  xmlLength = rootNode.childNodes;
    for(i=0;i<xmlLength.length; i++){
       currentNode = xmlLength*;      
       
       xmlLength = rootNode.currentNode.childNodes;      
       for(ii=0;ii<xmlLength.length; ii++){         
          firstKid = xmlLength.firstChild;
          heightOffSet = parseInt(firstKid.firstChild);
          centerOffSet = parseInt(firstKid.nextSibling.firstChild);
       }   
    }

just a note I have removed the second for loop since I didn’t think it was doing anything useful.

And the XML:

<root>
    <container a="container">
       <h>10</h>
       <o>0</o>
    </container>
 </root>

That isn’t my entire AS, but just the XML parts. The rest can be posted if someone think it will help.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
