Xml

[Maqrkk]

Hello,

I’ve got a small XML problem. I looked at the tutorial on the site for handling XML with ActionScript 3. My goal is to make an external file which will hold ‘maps’ for my game. I currently got it stored like this:

<Maps>
<Map LEVEL="1">
<rij>0101010101010101</rij>
<rij>0100000000000401</rij>
<rij>0101010001010101</rij>
<rij>0100000001000001</rij>
<rij>0100010101010001</rij>
<rij>0100010000000001</rij>
<rij>0103000001010201</rij>
<rij>0101010101010101</rij>
</Map>
<Map LEVEL="2">
<rij>010101010101</rij>
<rij>010400000001</rij>
<rij>010101010001</rij>
<rij>010000000001</rij>
<rij>010001000101</rij>
<rij>010301000001</rij>
<rij>010101010001</rij>
<rij>010200010001</rij>
<rij>010100000001</rij>
<rij>010101010101</rij>
</Map>
</Maps>

Now my question is the following. I want to read these data from into an array map. So far so good. Only I want to be able to seperate all the values. So i would have to take the first 2 characters of a string, and add it into an array inside the map array, so I could access it like this: map[0][0]. I think the problem is that the data is XML, not String. How can I make this happen?

Here is my ‘read the file and make an array’-code:

package
{
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    
    public class Henk extends MovieClip
    {
        private var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
        private var xmlData:XML;
        private var currLevel:int;
        private var map:Array;
        
        public function Henk()
        {
            currLevel = 2;
            xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
            xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
            xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("Levels2.xml"));
        }
        
        private function LoadXML(e:Event):void
        {
            xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
            parseMap(xmlData);
        }
        
        private function parseMap(mapInput:XML):void
        {
            var rijLijst:XMLList = mapInput.Map.(@LEVEL == currLevel).rij;
            map = new Array();
            
            for(var i:Number = 0; i < rijLijst.length(); i++)
            {
                var rijElement:XML = rijLijst*;
                var rijString:String = rijElement.toString();
                for(var j:Number = 0; j < (rijString.length / 2); j++)
                {
                    map.push(rijString.substr(j*2,2));
                }
            }
            for(i = 0; i < map.length; i++)
            {
                trace(map*);
            }
        }
    }
}

EDIT: thought i’d update the parseMap function here aswell.
