Timing issue when using onLoad and XML

[Chieffan]

I am loading an XML file and when I run a trace inside the onLoad event the results show. When I put the same trace outside that event, the trace returns undefined because it runs before the XML is Loaded.

I don't know how to assign the results of the XML to a variable being used outside the XML unless I call that through another event.

For example. I want to preload some images if the user has been to the movie before. I call XML which has the image array. But I can't tap into that array because my function is outside the XML Load event and my function is not tied to an event.

Hope that made sense.

Can you check and use the 'onData' event handler instead of 'onLoad'... I am not sure about this, but you can check from the Flash documentation!

var xmlArray=new Array();
var myxml=new XML();
myxml.onLoad=function(success){
if(success){
xmlArray.push(your_node_value); // or whatever
}
}
myxml.load("xmlfile.xml");
trace(xmlArray); // should work
