Using attachMovie you can set the instance name of the movie attached to Stage (second parameter of attachMovie)

in this case:

if (success) {

testo3.text=this.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            
        }

How i put  attachMovie?
consider this:
nome clip movie= nero

thanks

If this->this.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild; resolve to the string "hero", could be:

name = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
_root.attachMovie(name, name, 100, {_x:100, _y:100})

In the library should be a MovieClip with linkahe name hero

doesn't work...
the xml tag is:
<colore>mero</colore>

it is about the node for "nero"

Jorge

in the library there is a istance (movieclip) called "nero"
I put this in the flash code:


_root.nero = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild;
_root.attachMovie(nero,nero, 100, {_x:100, _y:100})

but the movie clip called "nero"  but it doesn't diplay

[Jorge Solis]

Ok, first step: read flash help about attachMovie.Second: this is not the code I have posted. For further check (using my code):

name = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
trace(name) //should output-> hero
_root.attachMovie(name, name, 100, {_x:100, _y:100})


If the trace is not showing "hero", the node in the XML have another value.

the nero mc isa small rectanhle black..

Have a linkage name?

Rigth click the MC on library, select linkage, Mark export for ActionScript and export in firts frame, write nero as the name. Then try again

doesn't work.
I select the Mc in the library. In the prprerty i  marked "export for as" and I marked "insert in the first frame". I  gave the name "nero" .nut don't appear nothing. the image doesn't show!

I don't know...

[abbatg]

remember the sml...
maybe is here the error?


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xmlstyle.xsl"?>

<maglietta>
<codice>123A01</codice>
<colore>nero</colore>
<taglia>42</taglia>
 </maglietta>


look at the colore tag--->nero


What do you think about?

Joseph

[Jorge Solis]

Should be:

this.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild

That's because I have added the trace, if it doesn't output-> nero, it will not work

Jorge

[abbatg]

I'm sorry:
the output workd and gave nero
but do not show the mc back
 if (success) {
                testo.text =this.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild;
    name = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild

trace(name) //should output-> hero
_root.attachMovie(name, name, 100, {_x:100, _y:100})


            testo3.text =this.childNodes[0].childNodes[2].firstChild;
            
        }
};


I repeat: the output (ctrl+emter( gave a bero /word) but doesn't show the image.


Joseph

[Jorge Solis]

Nero, not bero
Ok, recheck the attachMovie command in Flash help and try harder, enough info.
