Hi i am brand new to any actionscript coding! so i dont no much from either. So far i have learnt how to load nodes and attributes from an XML file. (you will see my comment notation)
The trace part will as you guys know, output the report name from my XML.
But…how do i output any of this into a list box?
Ultimately i need a list box component, which - when any of the report names are clicked/hovered over, the description (desc) will show in a separate text component.
import fl.controls.List;
import flash.text.TextField;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“report2.xml”));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void
{
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
//get all report descriptions
var desc:String = xmlData.reportdetails.desc.text();
//how to get attribute name for first array
var rportname:String =xmlData.reportdetails.attributes()[0];
//how to get attributes name for all arrays
var rportname2:String =xmlData.reportdetails.@name;
//output all report descriptions
trace(rportname2);
}
this is my XML file:
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?>
<reports lastupdate=“9/14/2005” dir="">
<reportdetails name=“Product Installations and Removals”>
<desc>The report focuses provides visability of installations and removals down to account level. these reports include any product additions and removals on accounts based upon the install date and removal date of the product.</desc>
</reportdetails>
<reportdetails name=“Product price variation report”>
<desc>The report provides visability of discounts or promotions applied to accounts at product level</desc>
</reportdetails>
<reportdetails name=“Product Snapshot”>
<desc>This report allows you to look at the latests promotion on the number of products by services type and also by customer type inclusive of status and the associated reportdetailsal rental.</desc>
</reportdetails>
</reports>
THANK YOU ANYBODY I WILL BE GRATEFUL TO LEARN FROM YOU
