Hi all
I could use a little help internalizing an XML file... I have found some
examples of how to do this but they all seem to be for AS1.0 and they don't
work in AS2.0 or at least not in my AS2.0 :D

So I have started here with your typical loading of an external XML file.

I hope this makes sense... If not let me know and I will try to clear it up...

Thanks in advance
Scott

[CODE]
/***** LOAD XML ****/
var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ();
this.timeLineXMLConn.ignoreWhite = true;
this.timeLineXMLConn.load ("02.xml");
this.timeLineXMLConn.trigger ();
trace ("this is = " + this);
this.timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
//trace("this is Loaded = "+this);
eval ("entry_clip" + i).entry_text.text = timeLineXMLConn;
this.timelineXML.onload = processXML ();
} else {
trace ("error loading XML file");
}
};
[/CODE]

And here is where I have ended up:
[CODE]

//var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ();

[/CODE]


But this keeps giving me an error of:
[COLOR="Red"]**Error** Symbol=scrollClip, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 54: ')'
or ',' expected[/COLOR]

So I have tried many different things to fix this such as:
[CODE]
var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"

var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"

var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ("'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"

var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ('"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"

var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ('/"<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"

var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ("'/<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"
[/CODE]
Do I need to escape my XML or is it even possible to Load an internal XML file
in AS2.0?

I also have tried to put the XML into a separate variable and then calling
that variable from my var:
[CODE]
timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML (myxml);
myxml = '<someXMLHere>';
[/CODE]
And:
[CODE]
timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML (myxml);
myxml =('<someXMLHere>');
[/CODE]

Hi,

there are various issues in that codes: the XML class has no trigger(), the
line
this.timelineXML.onload = processXML ()
is totally wrong (in the context of the posted code). But this shouldn't
affect the loading, so the problem should be
eval ("entry_clip" + i).entry_text.text = timeLineXMLConn;
eval() shouldn't be used this way, so better use dot or array syntax here:
_root.entry_clipX.entry_text.text
or
_root.entry_text.text
Make sure the path is right and that 'i' is defined. Also don't do
(...).text = timeLineXMLConn;
but rather
(...).text = timeLineXMLConn.toString().
This is the whole loading code:
--
var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML();
this.timeLineXMLConn.ignoreWhite = true;
this.timeLineXMLConn.load("02.xml");
trace("this is = "+this);
this.timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
//trace("this is Loaded = "+this);
_root.entry_text.text = this.toString();
} else {
trace("error loading XML file");
}
};
--

For the xml creating: the parameter for the XML constructor is a string
surrounded by " ", but it contains also string signs ("), so you have to decide
which sort (simple ' or double ") defines which strings: if the xml string is
surrounded by " ", you can use ' ' inside it, or you use the other way around
(it doesn't matter which way you use, it just has to be clear). E.g.:
var xml = new XML ( "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1' ?><root><entry
id='entry1' /></root>" );
To mask the signs, when you want to use the same sort inside the string as
surrounding, use a backslash before it, so it won't get interpreted as end of
the string:
var xml = new XML ( "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\" ?> ..." );

But if you want to test your code using this string, you shouldn't call load()
after you created the xml, it will replace the just created content.

hth,
blemmo

Ok well I have traced the problem down to the

this.timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void { }

When I trace ("timeLineXMLConn = " + timeLineXMLConn); out side of the onLoad
function it shows an output. But when I do the same trace ("timeLineXMLConn = "
+ timeLineXMLConn); inside of my timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function I get
nothing....

I don't think this: this.timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function
(success:Boolean):Void is getting called...
it might be something to do with the way the var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML
(); is being triggered this.timeLineXMLConn.trigger ();

Thanks
Scott

onLoad can't get called now, because you don't use XML.load(). Delete the
trigger action; the XML class has no trigger function. A call to XML.load()
starts loading, which triggers the onLoad event when it's finished. Inside
onLoad, you can use "this" to reference to the XML object:
trace("the xml = "+this);

Hi blemmo,
Thanks for the reply,

I'm posting the entire code... I'm no longer useing the eval ("entry_clip" +
i) chunk of code. Im now useing this.

I think this.timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void is
not being called or the this.timeLineXMLConn.trigger (); is workingt right....

when I trace ("timeLineXMLConn = " + timeLineXMLConn); in side the onLoad
function() { I get nothing. But if I trace ("timeLineXMLConn = " +
timeLineXMLConn); outside the onLoad function() { I get my XML back....

Take a look...

Thanks
Scott

Please read more carefully, I now write it for the 3rd time: there is no
XML.trigger() function. Calling this won't do anything. Hit F1 inside Flash and
look up the XML class and its methods, you won't find "trigger()". While you're
there, check the entry for XML.load().

If you want to call "processXML" when the loading finished successfully, just
call it inside onLoad:
this.timeLineXMLConn.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
trace("this is Loaded = "+this);
trace ("timeLineXMLConn = " + timeLineXMLConn);
processXML ();
} else {
trace ("error loading XML file");
}
};

onLoad can only be executed when load() was called. To test processXML with
the xml string created in Flash, just call processXML() after the XML object
was created (and don't call load() in between).

Ok.... So All I need to do is:

var timeLineXMLConn:XML = new XML ("<XML HERE>");
this.timeLineXMLConn.ignoreWhite = true;
processXML ();

Or am I a complete dumb @!#$ :)

by the way if I haven't said it yet. thanks for taking the time to explain
this to me...
