Hi, I’m new at using XML with flash, and I cannot understand why the XML isn’t being displayed in the file I’m working with!!! Can anyone help???!!
The actionscript:
headlineXML = new XML();
headlineXML.onLoad = myLoad;
headlineXML.load("headlines.xml");
function myLoad(ok) {
if (ok == true) {
Publish(this.firstChild);
}
}
function Publish(HeadlineXMLNode) {
if (HeadlineXMLNode.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BROADCAST") {
content = "";
story = HeadlineXMLNode.firstChild;
while (story != null) {
if (story.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "STORY") {
lead = "";
body = "";
URL = "";
element = story.firstChild;
while (element != null) {
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "LEAD") {
lead = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BODY") {
body = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "URL") {
URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
element = element.nextSibling;
}
content += "<font size='+2' color='#3366cc'><a href='"+URL+"'>"+lead+"</a></font><br>"+body+"<br><br>";
txt.htmltext=content;
}
story = story.nextSibling;
}
}
}
The XML:
<broadcast>
<story>
<lead>This is Headline 1</lead>
<body>This is where you can add content that will appear under the first headline</body>
<URL>http://www.communitymx.com/</URL>
</story>
<story>
<lead>This is Headline 2</lead>
<body>This is content that can appear under the second headline.</body>
<URL>http://www.flash-remoting.com/</URL></story>
<story>
<lead>This is Headline 3</lead>
<body>This is content that can appear under the third headline.</body>
<URL>http://www.macromedia.com/</URL>
</story>
</broadcast>
I’ve also attached the files, thanks in advance.
