call function from another scope (delegate)

[whispers]

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:

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);
	}
}

So you want to run this part of the top of the code again?

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)

//

Does throwing just that above stuff into a function give you those 'undefined' problems you were talking about?

HOORAY!...someone is here...I was just about to call it quits..

I try right now...

now it does even initially run/ececute..

function intialRead() {
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("http://www.dmstudios.net/flashCart_final/prodData/products.xml"); //local version
//myProducts_xml.load("prodData/products.xml?ran="+random(999999)); //web version (cache killer)
}

//call above initialRead(); function
initialRead();
//

then the rest as usual..there has to be a way to get this to execute again....

I'd hate to have to resort to a COMPLETE page refresh...

this darn Delegate.create function has been the BANE of my exsistence since I found out about it!! LOL

I wouldnt mind sending yout he WHOLE project (if need be)...but its pretty big...and Im sure noone codes the same..and its always a task to debug others work... but I really dont know how to excute that code again.

it reside in a several time over nexted clip (frame 1)

that executes when the movie loads....

what I need to do is run that again from a button on _root. and I have seriously tried a million way sof pathing..recalling the Delegate funtion over, from different scopes...etc..etc..

Im dead in the water...

UPDATE:

ok..I had a typo... in the function name (corrected, should be initialRead() ..)

anyways...so it is NOW getting hung up on the other Delegates I believe...


as this trace fires:

function getTotalProducts(success):Void {
	trace("getTotalProducts Called");

and thats the last I see...

no products ..nothing populates still..

Dricciotti-

I loose ya? Any ideas?
