XMLLoader.content returns String not XML

[Tim]

Hi guys,

I stuck with the problem that the return of my XMLLoader instance is always a String not an XML Object. I try to load a simple xml structure, without any nested LoaderMax etc. calls

I create a LoaderMax instance and append an XMLLoader instance.

In the complete Function i grab the XMLLoader by LoaderMax.getLoader("xmlDoc") , just like in the doc.

var loader:XMLLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("xmlDoc");
var xml:XML = loader.content; // throw an error: cannot convert to xml
var test:* = loader.content;
trace(typeof(test)); // string

 

Any ideas? Or is there an easier way to get the XML Object.

 

I did try to work with:

var loader:LoaderMax = LoaderMax.getLoader("mainQueue");
var xml:XML = loader.vars.rawXML; // null

 

Thanks and greatings from Berlin,

Tim

Ok, my bad.

var xml:XML = new XML(loader.content);

 

Anyways in the code hin within FlashBuilder it says:

.content @return -> depending on the Loader -> XMLLoader @return XML

Yep, the content should indeed be XML unless the file you loaded had invalid XML of course. Are you positive that your XML is valid? And you are using the latest version of LoaderMax/XMLLoader right?

Thanks Jack,

it`s all fine. The .xml had an issue.

 

Thanks!
