I have an SWF on my website that reads an XML file and displeys the text on the site. I have it set to refresh every 2 seconds because the XML file is constantly updated. I have built the fla file using active script 2.0. When I test movie in flash it works. However, when I embed the swf on the website, it will not autorefresh. I don’t know what to do to get it to work on the website. If I close the browser, then reopen it, the correct info is displayed. It will not change if I leave the page open. I’m new to flash. Any info anyone has would be appreciated.
Here is the code
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {_root.event = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.field1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.field2 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;}
else
{trace(“file not loaded!”);; }
if (_root.event == “STUFF”) {field1_txt.text = _root.field1;
field2_txt.text = _root.field2;} else {field1_txt.text = “Nothing New”;
title_txt.text = " ";}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load(“http://www.mydomain.com/rds/mylist.xml”);
System.security.allowDomain(“mydomain.com”, “www.mydomain.com”);
function updateData():Void
{
xmlData.load (“http://www.mydomain.com/rds/mylist.xml”); // Reload xml data
}
var checkID:Number = setInterval(this, “updateData”, 2000); // Set the refresh duration to suit your needs.
