After loading and parsing external xml, has any one ever been able to make a function that returns your XMLList? I’m asking because I’m trying to change to scope of the data into a global variable for use.
var pngloader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var pngxml:XML;
var thumbslist:XMLList;
pngloader.load(new URLRequest(“slideshow.xml”));
pngloader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, pngLoadXML);
function pngLoadXML(evt:Event):void {
pngxml=new XML(evt.target.data);
pngParseXML(pngxml);
}
function pngParseXML(myxml:XML):XMLList {
thumbslist=myxml.pngparent;
return thumbslist;
}
trace(thumbslist.length()); //this line would work if this was possible
