flash actionscript: Hi all,

I am in the process of learning about XML & I like to find out how can i
access the XML Tree as shown
http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashXMLNewsExample/images/this_node.gif

Appreciate any help rendered that will help aid my learning process,thanks...
:smile;

Yeah, i did read that and I did set up a breakpoint at the line but to no
avail,nothing comes up on the debugger...
Is it inserted it at the wrong line?

function processXMLData(success) <------- [b]BREAKPOINT HERE[/b]
{
if (success)
{
var rootNode=this.firstChild;

var headerNode=findNode(rootNode, "header");
header=getValue(headerNode);

var contentNode=findNode(rootNode, "content");
content=getValue(contentNode);

var authorNode=findNode(rootNode, "author");
author=getValue(authorNode);


/*
var newsNode=this.firstChild;
var headerNode=newsNode.childNodes[0];
var contentNode=newsNode.childNodes[1];
var infoNode=newsNode.childNodes[2];
var authorNode=infoNode.childNodes[1];

header=headerNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
content=contentNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
author=authorNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
*/
}
else
{
content="Today's news is not found";
}
}

function getValue(node)
{
if (node && node.firstChild)
return node.firstChild.nodeValue;
return "";
}

Much Thanks...

hello non-nelson, do you know what this long piece of code above does?

Hi,
very briefly, this piece of code is only a segment of what needs to be done
in the case client "mess" up the node in the .xml files and is a function
performed after .xml is loaded. Me too am in the process of learning about
xml, look http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashXMLNewsExample/ for more!

x Still trying to find out how to use breakpoint to view XML TREE x

Breakpoint looks like it's in the right place, just do Control > Debug Movie,
hit play, then it will break on that code and you can click the Variables tab,
and it should show you the XML tree in there somewhere.
