Hi, I am rather new to Flash and XML…
I have an XML file that looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<calc-growth>
<state name="california">
<location city="san_francisco">
<telephone>(555) 123-4567</telephone>
<telephone2>(555) 123-456203456</telephone2>
<fax>(555) 123-4569</fax>
<address1>1 Main St.</address1>
<address2>nothing</address2>
<email>cali email</email>
</location>
</state>
<state name="colorado">
<location city="fort_collins">
<telephone>(555) 123-4567</telephone>
<telephone2>(555) 123-4568</telephone2>
<fax>(555) 123-4569</fax>
<address1>1 Main St.</address1>
<address2></address2>
<email></email>
</location>
<location city="boulder">
<telephone>(555) 123-4567</telephone>
<telephone2>(555) 123-4568</telephone2>
<fax>(555) 123-4569</fax>
<address1>1 Main St.</address1>
<address2></address2>
<email></email>
</location>
<location city="denver">
<telephone>(555) 123-4567</telephone>
<telephone2>(555) 123-4569</telephone2>
<fax>(555) 123-4569</fax>
<address1>1 Main St.</address1>
<address2></address2>
<email></email>
</location>
</state>
<state name="connecticut">
<location city="hartford">
<telephone>(555) 123-4567</telephone>
<telephone2>(555) 123-4568</telephone2>
<fax>(555) 123-4569</fax>
<address1>1 Main St.</address1>
<address2></address2>
<email></email>
</location>
</state>
I have already been able to make an array based off of the names of the states:
xml.onLoad = function(ok) {
avAll = this.firstChild.childNodes;
avStates = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i<avAll.length; i++) {
avStates.push(avAll*.attributes.name);
}
}
BUT, what I would like to do is create a multi-dimensional array with the state name and it’s cities.
So the array should be formatted like this:
trace(avStates[0][0]); //returns san_francisco
trace(avStates[1][0]); //returns fort_collins
trace(avStates[1][0]); //returns boulder
trace(avStates[1].length); //returns 3
Im sure its possible but Ive been trying and trying for hours to no avail. I dont know if I maybe formatted the XML file wrong for this type of thing?
HELP PLEASE!!
