I am loading a menu consisting of a library of items, based on my XML file into a combo box. I have menu working correctly. When I click on an library item in the combo box, it’s supposed to load the items into my scrollPane called “thumbs”. Now what is happening is, the appropriate number of items are getting loaded to the scrollPane in the form of a movieClip called appropriately “thumbs_mc”, but the actual swf doesn’t get loaded. I can’t seem to figure out whats going on.
Any help appriciated.
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
libraryList_ar = new Array();
combo_list.dataProvider = libraryList_ar;
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//trace(this);
var libraries = this.firstChild;
var dValue = this.firstChild.attributes.name;
//trace(dValue);
combo_list.textField.label.text = "Library";
var libCount = libraries.childNodes.length;
trace(libCount);
var libItems = libraries.firstChild.childNodes.length;
//trace(libItems);
for (var i = 0; i<libCount; i++) {
//libraryList_ar* = libraries.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
libraryList_ar* = new Object();
libraryList_ar*.label = libraries.childNodes*.attributes.Text;
libraryList_ar*.data = libraries.childNodes*;
//save reference here
}
}
