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.
View 3 RepliesCompletely 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).

so 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?
View 3 RepliesAttached is basically a recreation of the problem. What I'm basically trying to do is a tooltip window with 4 frames. Each frame has different textfields but also some the same. Like the "Weapon" frame has textfields called namebox, typebox, levelbox, and damagebox, while the "Armor" frame has namebox, typebox, levelbox, and defensebox.
In the attachment there is a Movieclip called awd on the stage. It has 2 keyframes in it called "Weapon" and "Drop" each with their own textfields but they are both called "box". I have a click event listener that makes awd go to its second frame and outputs the second child in awd, which will be the textfield. The problem is when I click the first time, awd goes to the second frame but it outputs null instead of Object TextField. When I click again it outputs Object TextField. If I trace the number of children it gives me 2. So I don't know how it can be null.
I am loading an xml file into the stage of my website. I would like to have several textfields and to each one of the assign a specific information taken from the xml file loaded.[code]...
View 0 RepliesI have a small issue, which is important for my project though. Namely my global var returns null when I need it. I have a global var class:
Code:
package {
public class Global {
public static var premiseGlobalName:String = new String();
}}
In another class I'm setting this var like so:
Code:
public function onButtonRollOver (event:MouseEvent):void {
Global.premiseGlobalName = "My home";
this.addChild(premiseMenu);
}
The second line in the method calls another class to the stage which uses the global var. I trace the global var:
Code:
public function initPremiseMenu():void {
trace("GLOBAL: " + Global.premiseGlobalName);
}
But it returns an empty value.
I want to use the global var in a textfield like so:
Code:
premiseTip.text = Global.premiseGlobalName;
In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:

I want a typewriter-effect. So that it looks like the code in the string is typed character by character (for an animation). However, I get a #1009 back. It talks about a null object reference (the error is in Dutch).My dynamic text field is in the same scene, on a different layer. codeTekst is the instance name. It is classic, dynamic text. Multiline behaviour and not embedded in a symbol. I'm using Flash CS5. Here is my code:

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.
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?

I've created an button object in flash. The button contains 2 layers. One is the background image and on top of it is a textField. The textfield is dynamic. I use the button inside a movieclip and I export it in a SWC. The I'm trying to use it in flex.
I'm trying to do this:
var myComponent:MyComponent = new MyComponent();
myComponent.button01.theTextField.text = "Caption";
I get and instance of the button(myComponent.button01 is not null in Flex debugger), but the instance of the textField(myComponent.button01.theTextField) is null and I'm not able to change the text(but the default text appears onscreen). The code is compiled correctly in flex.
I exported the in swc the button control as well. So the button is not the default SimpleButton from Flash, but an derived class generated by flash(with the same name as the symbol defined in flash). It contains theTextField memeber, which is null.
Here is the button timeline(Layer 2 contains the textfield, and the textfield instance is named theTextField):

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
