Completely at a loss for words...it is there in the xml file. The XML throws no errors. And yet when I try to access the CDATA section it says that its null. What does that mean? Here is my test source, and the link to the location of the XML doc (its a hard coded link in the AS).

I read Senocular's tutorial on XML and found it really useful. But I still have a problem: When I try to get some text from a node into a textfield by using .nodeValue I get 'null'. When I use nodeType on that node the result is "1". I understand that a textnode should result in value "3". But how come this isn't the case here? My xml looks like:

i am having with xml being displayed in flash mx.the tutorial on this site works fine, but when i write my own xml file and modify the as, i encounter the problems. ideally, i wolud like to be able to load text files and urls of images to be loaded into flash, flash recognises the xml file fine and actually loads it, however, when i try to use the nodeValue action, i am always given the value "null." this is because flash thinks the node is an element rather than a text node (type 1 rather than 3, when you use nodeType.) i don't know why it does this when it is obviously a text node.

I'm trying to include some JavaScript (JSON 2, to be precise)in with some ActionScript 3 classes. I'm using the inline XML method (E4X) of declaring the data. It looks like this:
public static var JSON_2:XML = <data><![CDATA[
if (!this.JSON) {
JSON = function () {[code]....
Actually, this is only about a quarter of what I need to include but this is where it breaks down. Right after the second slash in the last line, Flash reports: TypeError: Error #1091: XML parser failure: Unterminated CDATA section.
In fact, as you can see this is a perfectly valid CDATA section and isn't being terminated anywhere (there is no instance of "]]>" anywhere in the data). Unfortunately, Flash doesn't think so and seems to think that the backslash is an XML node directive. how to effectively deal with this? The JSON source code has *many* backslashes so not having to convert them would be *very* useful.
I have created an XML list that feeds a TreeView component, with AS2 I am able to get to this point:
This is my XML statement :
Code:
<menulist>
<node label="Products">
<node label="Tryout">

At this point I when I run the movie I get the index which is basically a number, but I want the label associated with that number.
In the XML file, there's an attribute called data, I want the segment2.swf to load when the user selects the option. I have a loader component also on stage, I just want the user selection to be as input to the content path of the loader.

View 0 Repliesso i have ignoreWhite set to true and am trying to get textual data out of an xml node. my node looks like so:<description>this is a description</description>so i navigated to the node with the following variable:var descriptionNode:String = newsXML.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2];and it gives me the output when i trace it with the node and the description in it. but i don't need the node, i need the text only, so i tried to add a nodeValue at the end of that and it output as null. why am i brainfarting right now and can't figure out how to output just the text and not the text AND the node?

the script i wrote is working fine. but the script attached to the flash player which i have no control over is throwing a script error (im using IE8).how can i fix this? if i run it locally there is no error.
'null' is null or not an object
try { document.getElementById("").SetReturnValue(__flash__toXML(function() { return document.location.hostname; }()) ); } catch (e) { document.getElementById("").SetReturnValue("<undefined/>"); }
but this is from flash script and i dont have control over it. it just say JScript - script block.

This is the structure of my XML, and I tried in some ways, but I can't able to get Character DATA as XML data. Is this any way to convert CDATA into XML in AS3?
So i stand corrected. the <a href is screwing up my XML data.If I plop a CDATA tag in the XML obviously it works fine. But is there any other options to keep that tag out of the XML file?If I can somehow include it in Flash (which logically doesn't make sense) that would be great. The XML is generated server side and I can't get them to mod it.

View 4 RepliesWhen you cast null to an object using Object(null), the result is an object.When you cast undefined to an object using Object(undefined), the result is an object.But saying null as Object or undefined as Object remains null.Why is this? I can't find anything in the documentation about this.
The objects that result from these casts can have properties set on and read from them. It's as if the cast created information, or removed whatever special information the null and undefined values have. But there's no indication in the AS3 documentation that the null and undefined special types are actually objects.
