[RESOLVED] AS2 - Arrays to textbox

[kumba]

I need to pull data from an xml array, then have it alternate listing the data in the same text box.

Here is the how I'm loading the XML:

// LOAD XML
loadXML = function (loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;				
		contentBorder = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Border);
		contentWidth = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Width);
		contentHeight = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Height);
		txt_mc.txthead.htmlText = xmlNode.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		txt_mc.txt.htmlText = datecom + xmlNode.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;						
		headerName.text = xmlNode.attributes.Name;

}
	} else {
		trace("Error loading XML");
	}
};
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
if (_root.toLoad == undefined) {
    _root.toLoad = "dailylog.xml";	
}
xmlData.load(_root.toLoad);

Here is my conceptual approach (but to no success):

// LOAD XML
loadXML = function (loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;				
		contentBorder = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Border);
		contentWidth = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Width);
		contentHeight = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Height);
		txt_mc.txthead.htmlText = xmlNode.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
    headline[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
    copy_full[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
txt_mc.txt.htmlText = datecom + headline[i]+"\n"+copy_full[i];
}
}
	} else {
		trace("Error loading XML");
	}
};
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
if (_root.toLoad == undefined) {
    _root.toLoad = "dailylog.xml";	
}
xmlData.load(_root.toLoad);

Here is the result I need displayed in the texbox:

FLASHBACK - OBAMA ON AIG BONUSES --- (headline[0])

Obama talks about the executive bonues at AIG. He talks about how they are in financial distress due to greed.
(021010OLDOBAMA01) Q… greed Time ¬ 16 seconds --- (copy_full[0])

He talks about how it’s hard to understand how AIG awarded these bonues and how can they justify this to the taxypayers.
(021010OLDOBAMA02) Q… afloat Time ¬ 18 seconds --- (copy_full[0])

Obama then says he is asking Sect. Geitherner to use every single possible way to block the bonuses.
(021010OLDOBAMA03) Q… applause Time ¬ 18 seconds --- (copy_full[0])

BIDEN GAFFE - IRISH PM'S MOTHER --- (headline[1])

ETC. --- (headline[2])

ETC. --- (copy_full[2])

ETC. --- (headline[3])

ETC. --- (copy_full[3])

Here is a condensed version of the xml being loaded:

headline = new Array();
copy_full = new Array();

loadXML = function (loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        xmlNode = this.firstChild;              
        childNodes = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
        contentBorder = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Border);
        contentWidth = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Width);
        contentHeight = Number(xmlNode.childNodes[0].attributes.Height);
        txt_mc.txthead.htmlText = xmlNode.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
        for (i=0; i<childNodes; i++) {
            headline[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            copy_full[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;
        }
        trace(copy_full[0]);
        txt_mc.txt.htmlText = "";

Hi Nig 13,

What you wrote gave me enough foundation to accomplish what I needed, thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it.

Also, I have tried multiple times to delete my first post using the "edit" button but there is nowhere on the page to delete the entire post. Am I missing something?

Thanks, again!

No problem, and forget about deleting your post

( because only mods can do that, I think )
