LoaderMax & XMLLoader

[mah1987]

Hy@all,

 

i have a little Problem with the XMLLoader

I have here an AS3-project in which I will like to take Greensock LoaderMax to two XML files and the pictures that are in the XML files to preload.

 

The XML files LoaderMax reads well, but as I am now on the contents of the XML. How can I now attribute to an instance of the XML

Records access?

 

my XML files:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

 

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

 

Here AS3 code

Code:

 

import com.greensock.loading.*;
import com.greensock.loading.display.*;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

/////////////////////////////
// XML Loader			      //
////////////////////////////

LoaderMax.activate([imageLoader, SWFLoader, DataLoader]); 
//create an XMLLoader
var areaLoader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader("../xml/area.xml", {name:"xmlArea", requireWithRoot:this.root, estimatedBytes:1400});
var contLoader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader("../xml/content.xml", {name:"xmlContent", requireWithRoot:this.root, estimatedBytes:1400});
//begin loading
areaLoader.load();
contLoader.load();
//LoadHandler for XML Loader
var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue", onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler, onError:errorHandler});
var queue2:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue", onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler, onError:errorHandler});
//append the XMLLoader and several other loaders
queue.append( areaLoader );
queue2.append( contLoader); 
//begin loading queue
queue.load();
queue2.load();

 

This is my code from completeHandler:

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
if(event.target.name == "areaXML"){
	var areaXML:XML = new XML(areaLoader.content);
	areaXML.ignoreComments = true;
	areaXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
	trace(areaXML);
	var anzahl =  areaXML.item.length();
	for(var i:int = 0;i			trace(areaXML.item[i].@id);
	}
}
}

 

I tried to put the data from getContent () into an XML object, but since then I could not drive the childs.

 

Does anyone have a tip for me or any advice?

It is a bit difficult to understand exactly what you want to do. I'm guessing English isn't your first language and that's ok.

 

When seeking help it is best to provide the least amount of code possible to get to a solution.

 

Right now the loading of 2 xml files and preloading images seems to clutter the issue of parsing attributes in the xml.

 

I've made an example of how to parse one of the xml files and access the various attributes:

 

xmlContent.xml

 

 

AS3 parsing code

 

import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;
import com.greensock.loading.XMLLoader;

var myXML:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader("xmlContent.xml", {onComplete:getXML});

myXML.load();

function getXML(e:LoaderEvent):void{
var loadedXML:XML = myXML.content as XML;

trace("this is all the xml");
trace(loadedXML);

//create an XMLList of just the content nodes
var contentXML:XMLList = loadedXML..content;



trace("\n\ncontent XMLList");
trace(contentXML);



trace("\n\nthe id of the first content")
trace(contentXML[0].@id);




trace("\n\nloop through the id and discription of all content")
for(var i:uint = 0; i		trace(contentXML[i].@id + " : " + contentXML[i].@discription);
	} 

}	

 

there is an fla and sample xml attached. When you test the swf you will see many descriptive traces

 

If you truly do intend to load an XML file and have all the images preload it would be much easier to do something like this:

also the XMLLoader documentation has sample code of loading multiple assets from xml and adding description attributes.

 

http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ ... oader.html

 

by using the rawXML (as mentioned in the link above) you can attach any amount of formatted data to your loaders

Yes, English is not my first language. I come from Germany.

OK, for the future i know it.

 

var loadedXML:XML = myXML.content as XML;

var contentXML:XMLList = loadedXML..content;

These two lines, I have sought, now i can handle the XML als an XML.object.

 

Thanks alot!
