call function from another scope (delegate)
I am having trouble trying to call this whole routine (again) once a 'save button' is clicked (basically want to re-populate to reflect changes)
this already gets called ONCE (intitally) on the movie/project Load...
1.) I have tried to wrap the whole thing (routine) in a function, but then it stops working as it should (doesnt populate correctly, everything becomes 'undefined')
2.) I have tried pathing to the specific functions from my save button (located on _root)...but no go...(failed load)
here is the code (all of it) I need to 're-call' and run, when the save button is clicked.
thanks for anything I am missing:
Code:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
//
var rootNode:XMLNode;
var productsNode:Array;
var totalProducts:Number;
var myProducts_xml = new XML();
//
myProducts_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
myProducts_xml.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, getTotalProducts);
myProducts_xml.load("prodData/products.xml"); //local version
//myProducts_xml.load("prodData/products.xml?ran="+random(999999)); //web version (cache killer)
//
function getTotalProducts(success):Void {
if (success == true) {
rootNode = myProducts_xml.firstChild;
productsNode = rootNode.childNodes;
totalProducts = rootNode.childNodes.length;
createProducts();
this.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this, function() {
populateAll();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}//end Function
); //end Delegate
}else {
trace("INIITIAL Load Failed");
}
}
//
function createProducts():Void {
//Define how many columns
var columns:Number = 1;
//Define the item vSpacing;
var vSpacing:Number = 10;
//Define the item hSpacing;
var hSpacing:Number = 0;
for (i=0; i<totalProducts; i++) {
var attachProduct:MovieClip = attachMovie("productEntry", "product"+i, i);
attachProduct._x += 10;
attachProduct._y += 0;
attachProduct._y += i * 45;
//attachProduct._y = Math.floor(i / columns) * hSpacing; //only used with multiple columns
//attachProduct._x = Math.floor(i % columns) * vSpacing; //only used with multiple columns
}
}
//populate
function populateAll():Void {
for (i = 0; i < totalProducts; i++) {
var totalQuantity:Number =productsNode[i].childNodes[7].childNodes.length;
//random data
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.prodNum = i; //declaring what product (node) this is
//currentImage
var prodImage:String = productsNode[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.currentImage = prodImage;
//obj.currentImage = obj.currentImage.toUpperCase();
obj.currentImage = obj.currentImage.toLowerCase();
//name
var prodName:String = productsNode[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.name_txt.text = prodName +i;
obj.name_txt.text = obj.name_txt.text.toUpperCase();
//price
var prodPrice:Number = productsNode[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.selectedPrice = ["$"+prodPrice];
obj.price_txt.text = obj.selectedPrice;
//trace("PRICE :"+obj.selectedPrice);
//description
var prodDesc:String = productsNode[i].childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.descriptionVar = prodDesc;
obj.descriptionVar = obj.descriptionVar.toUpperCase();
//obj.descriptionVar = obj.descriptionVar.toLowerCase();
//colors
var colorLength:Number =productsNode[i].childNodes[4].childNodes.length;
trace("Total Colors: "+colorLength);
for (z = 0; z < colorLength; z++) {
var totalColors:Array =productsNode[i].childNodes[4].childNodes[z].firstChild.nodeValue;
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.colorChoices.push(totalColors);
}
//sizes
var sizeLength:Number =productsNode[i].childNodes[3].childNodes.length;
trace("Total Sizes: "+sizeLength);
for (y = 0; y < sizeLength; y++) {
var totalSizes:Array =productsNode[i].childNodes[3].childNodes[y].firstChild.nodeValue;
var obj = this["product" + i];
obj.sizeChoices.push(totalSizes);
}
trace("Color Array: "+obj.colorChoices);
trace("Size Array: "+obj.sizeChoices);
trace(newline);
}
}
