Load Specific Node

[Highlander]

Hi all,

I want to load the contents of a specific node from an XML document on a button click event.

Basically I've got a world map, and when you click on the button for say South Africa, I want to load the address for our branch in South Africa into the flash Movie.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm currently loading my XML document into a text area component using this:

myContent = new XML();
myContent.ignoreWhite = true;
myContent.load("Licensees.xml");
myContent.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
myText.text = myContent;
}
}

And my XML document follows this structure:

<Licensee id="2">
<Continent>Africa</Continent>
<CompanyName>Probike South Africa (Pty) Limited</CompanyName>
<Address1>PO Box 2712</Address1>
<Address2>North End</Address2>
<Address3>Port Elizabeth</Address3>
<Address4></Address4>
<PostCode>6056</PostCode>
<Country>South Africa</Country>
<Telephone>+27 (041) 487 1713</Telephone>
<Fax>+27 (041) 404 8500</Fax>
<Web>http://www.raleigh.co.za</Web>
</Licensee>

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Highlander

Sussed it.

I instantiate the xml object using this

function loadFranchisee(IDNO) {
	myIDNO = IDNO;
	var myXML:XML = new XML();
	myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
	myXML.onLoad = processXML;
	myXML.load("Licensees.xml");
}

Then tell the textfield which node to display using this:

function processXML(success:Boolean):Void {
	if (success) {
		//trace(this.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild);
		//txtAddress.text = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[ID].childNodes[FIELD].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[1].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[2].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[3].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[4].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[5].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[6].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[7].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[8].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[9].childNodes[0];		
		txtAddress.text = txtAddress.text + this.childNodes[0].childNodes[myIDNO].childNodes[10].childNodes[0];		
	
	} else {
		trace("Error loading xml file.");
	}
}

for targetting specific nodes you can also use xPath
