Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me out. I’ve been searching how to do this but haven’t got it to work yet.
All I want to do is have flash call my php page which is putting together an xml string as a variable. I want to take that xmlstring in flash and parse it into my array.
I know how to do everything except load that XML string and parse it. I know how to parse an xml file, but a string is new to me. Also, for some reason when I try to get the XML string from PHP it comes back undefined.
Here is my Flash Actionscript:
// Call PHP and load XML string
loadVariablesNum(“http://domain/recentimages.php","”);
//My PHP file spits out the string as $recentxml, and it works fine. But when I try to trace that same string in Flash I get undefined.
//Here is the loop I’ve created to wait until the xml has been generated.
if (recentxml == undefined){
gotoAndPlay(“loop”);
} else if (recentxml != undefined){
gotoAndStop("finished");
}
//And here is the parsing method.
var myPhoto:XML = new XML();
myPhoto.parseXML(recentxml);
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
Can anyone help? I would really appreciate any advice, I’ve been struggling with this for a while now and it’s probably something easy.
Thanks, Matt
