arg, i’ve been trying to figure this out since last night, and i’m stumped, so if anyone can help, i would really appreciate it!
here’s the digs. i have a movie that loads some XML (created with a php script) and displays a nice scrolling dynamic text box with links to an asfunction. this all works very well. (thank you senocular for your excellent XML/Flash tutorial!!!) when the asfunction runs, it loads a movie into a container on the screen using the attachMovie function. this works fine also. but when the movie appears, not only are the dynamic text boxes blank, but the text that is supposed to be displayed in the “close” button i created (which is static text, not dynamic) does not show up. go here:
www.dresdensky.com/dresdensky.html and click touring, then choose a show to see what i mean. here’s my load function:
function loadShow(showNum) {
var this_show = _root.tour[showNum].childNodes;
var show_mc = container.attachMovie("showDetails","Show",101);
show_mc.showDate.text = this_show[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
show_mc.showVenue.text = this_show[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
show_mc.showDetails.html = true;
show_mc.showDetails.wordWrap = true;
show_mc.showDetails.htmlText = "";
show_mc.showDetails.htmlText = this_show[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
is there some kind of depth thing i’m missing? i know the XML for this_show[4].firstChild.nodeValue works, because i previously used this to replace the text in the dynamic scrolling box. but why is the close button text also not displaying?
i’ve searched all over and can’t find anything on this and i’m going crazy right now, so any insight would be truly helpful.
thanks everyone!!!
