 I need simply code to learn how the data are loaded and display from xml to flash.
The tutorial you'll find in google  are for expert.

take a look at Macromedia Help guide, about the XML object but i think your question is elementary, dont be afraid to ask more about your own practice and your doubts.

The FAQ is really simple, so begin there.
Le'ts see a Google Seach for : "Xml flash tutorial"
Second entry: http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/intermediate/XML/index.shtml
Oh, Jesse stratford explain with an XML ... with one node, well, and after that, two nodes.
Titles: What is XML?, Why and when to use XML?, Loading XML into Flash,  Data from XML within Flash ... uff, lot of stuff
Is this too much complicated?
After hate things, take some time to search.

thanks. But this like many example I founfd shows how to load...but How to display  the data?
for exampla i:
in this case "trace" if I check by ALT+enter the data are loaded but doesn't showed:
tuteInfo_xml = new XML();

tuteInfo_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
tuteInfo_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
   if (success) {
      trace('Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+this.toString());
   }
};

tuteInfo_xml.load('author.xml');


Ihow to display it?
thanks.

Hello Joseph!


Les say your xmlis like:

<node>
   blablabla
</node>
and if you are loading xml in the xml object say: myXml
the way your trace out data by using the statment:
      trace('Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+myXml.toString());

you can use instead:

   myVariableName ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();
   trace(myVariableName);

Now you can use this variable anywhere to display the data. Be it a text field or any other thing.

thank but does't work.
II created the txt dynamic called: ":   myVariableName "

And I put in the AS script this:
tuteInfo_xml = new XML();
tuteInfo_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
tuteInfo_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
   if (success) {
      myVariableName ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();   trace(myVariableName);
   }
};


the txt dynamic  had been ib the same photogram of the script but doesn't work..

[papachan]

try:
   if (success) {
      _root.myVariableName ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();   trace(myVariableName);
   }

or
   if (success) {
      _root.myVariableName.text ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();   trace(myVariableName);
   }

[..:: Mazhar Hasan ::..]

tuteInfo_xml = new XML();
tuteInfo_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
tuteInfo_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
   if (success) {
      myVariableName ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString(); trace(myVariableName);
   }
};


the txt dynamic had been ib the same photogram of the script but doesn't work..

Just for confirming, are you using the load keyword for loading xml data, such as: tuteInfo_xml.load("somfile.xml");

And are you using myVariableName as the instance name of  your dynamic text field or the variable name of your dynamic text field (as the two are very different, you assign instance name in the left side field in the property inspector and the var name in the bottom right part of the property inspector of a dynamic textfield)

If you are using myVariableName as the instance name, then instead of writng the line::
myVariableName ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();

write:

myVariableName.text ='Author.xml loaded. Contents are: '+ myXml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();

[abbatg]

but flash gives this:

Author.xml loaded. Contents are: undefined

Hi,

I have created the following xml file.

Code: [Select]

<names>
 <nodes>savneet</nodes>
 <nodes>Amit</nodes>
</names>
and in flash

Code: [Select]

var qb_xml:XML=new XML();
qb_xml.ignoreWhite=true;
var displayName:String;

qb_xml.onLoad=function(success)
{
if(success)
{
displayName="My xml file content "+qb_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.toString();
trace(displayName);
}
}
qb_xml.load("test.xml");and the outp is  My xml file content savneet

regards,
savneet

[abbatg]

sorry, nyt what is the name of field dynamictext?
whitout dybamic   text  allows to show the data...
regards

[savneet]

Hi,
make the displayName as dynamic text field.

Regards,
savneet

[abbatg]

this is incorrect I think:
names>
<nodes>savneet</nodes>
<nodes>Amit</nodes>
</names>

However it doesn't work.
I tested by ctrl+enter....undefinite


bho...
 
bye
