Hello everyone!
I want to make a horizontal news scroller in flash.
I’m trying to load information from an XML file, namely the news title and an URL.
So, I will eventually have 10 text boxes, each with it’s own content and URL. I will then move the boxes right to left, but before that’s gonna happen, I’m having issues displaying the XML content.
Here is my code:
(t2.xml is the xml file from which I load, news is the news title and **url **is, obviously the link I want to use; nt is my text box)
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
news = [];
url = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
news* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
url* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
} else {
content = “nothing loaded”;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“t2.xml”);
nt.text = news[0];
nt.onRelease = function()
{
getURL(url[0], “_self”);
}
The result of this is nt displaying “undefined” and the link not working - I know I went wrong somewhere but don’t know where, as my AS skill aren’t quite good…
Please help me out and thanks in advance
