Hey!
I''ve got an swf that loads an external ASP file that responds by writing out an XML. (It's a flash guestbook, so users add text to text fields, and calls the ASP page to add it to the database. And then the ASP page responds by printing out all entries so that the swf can load them up to show them.) One problem though. If the ASP prints onto the browser screen something like <gb>...<entry><name>somename</name><body>somecomment</body></entry>...........[r epeat]...</gb> (so via using ">" and "<" when using Response.Write), the Flash doesn't recognise the "<" and ">" so it doesn't work. If the ASP Response.Write doesn't use the ">" but uses ">" instead, then those < and > signs don't pring onto the browser, but it's present if you do View Source. In this case, the Flash seems to recognise the "<" and ">" but only ONE 'entry' is fed into the swf...... so even tho there are many <entry>.....</entry>, it only sees one of them, then the </gb> tag..... Am I meant to use ">" of ">"?How do i make it see all of them? ?? (Please tell me if I haven't explained this problem well enuff...)
Are you saying when you do this:
myReply_xml.onLoad(success) { trace (this) // or trace (myReply_xml) } you do not see the full XML you send from ASP? -- Lon Hosford www.lonhosford.com May many happy bits flow your way!

Yes, that's correct!
Instead of <gb> <entry><name>NAME1</name><body>BODY1></body></entry> <entry><name>NAME2</name><body>BODY2></body></entry> <entry><name>NAME3</name><body>BODY3></body></entry> </gb> I only see <gb> <entry><name>NAME1</name><body>BODY1></body></entry> </gb>
<body>BODY1></body>
<body>BODY2></body> <body>BODY3></body> There are too many > in these tag nodes. This would lead to malformed XML and Flash would probably parse incompletely. Here is a stripped ASP file (I used Javascript but it should work with VBScript) that returns the XML you posted. I used it in a Flash movie and all entry nodes are returned. <%@ language = "JScript" %> <% /*---------------------------------------------------------------------- Define response data as xml ---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Response.ContentType = "text/xml"; /*---------------------------------------------------------------------- Build XML in a variable ---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ returnXML = "<gb>"; returnXML += "<entry><name>NAME1</name><body>BODY1</body></entry>"; returnXML += "<entry><name>NAME2</name><body>BODY2</body></entry>"; returnXML += "<entry><name>NAME3</name><body>BODY3</body></entry>"; returnXML += "</gb>"; Response.write(returnXML); /*---------------------------------------------------------------------- Force all data responses back ---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Response.flush(); /*---------------------------------------------------------------------- Terminate any further responses ---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Response.end(); %> -- Lon Hosford www.lonhosford.com May many happy bits flow your way!

Thanks, Motion Maker,
Yes, sorry, that was my typo when I was typing the post (then using copy paste... :-( ) I don't have the ">" right after the BODYs. This is what I have in my ASP code... <% '---------------This file is the showEntries.file------------------------- '----Start Declaring all variables Dim DBConn, strDB, strInsertSQL '----Give the Database Connection String strDB = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/kkodesign/database/gb.mdb") & ";DefaultDir=" & Server.MapPath(".") & ";DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=512;PageTimeout=5" '----Open the database and insert the data Set DBConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") DBConn.Open strDB 'response.write "iSuccess=1" 'Send a success response to Flash Response.Write"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>" Response.Write"<gb>" Dim sqltext sqltext = "SELECT * FROM guestbook" set RS = DBConn.Execute(sqltext) While NOT RS.EOF Response.Write"<entry>" Response.Write"<name>" Response.Write RS("name") Response.Write"</name>" Response.Write"<date>" Response.Write RS("date") Response.Write"</date>" Response.Write"<comment>" Response.Write RS("body") Response.Write"</comments>" Response.Write"</entry>" RS.MoveNext WEND Response.Write"</gb>" '-----Close the database connection DBConn.close Set DBConn=Nothing %>
I think I just found my error!!!!!! =)
Response.Write"<comment>" Response.Write RS("body") Response.Write"</comments>"
Great! Generally malformed XML is the place to look when all the XML tags or
data do not appear in Flash. -- Lon Hosford www.lonhosford.com May many happy bits flow your way!

Response.Write"<comment>" Response.Write RS("body") Response.Write"</comments>" The tag names were different!
