xml based dynamic text field with huge swf file
I'm trying to make an xml based tracklist for a music mix on a website. The code loads the info from the XML file, and displays it in the text field, and I have a UIScrollbar component as well. When I test movie, everything seems to be working fine. However, the swf file is 14.1 MB. The .FLA is only 690kb... so where the hell is the size coming from? I only have text in the xml file, and the code is pretty compact. Why is the swf so big? Here is my code:
Code:
var showX:XML;
var showList:XMLList;
var output:String = "";
var style:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.load(new URLRequest("The_Fixx_DJ_Little_Fever_Show8.xml"));
function onComplete(e:Event):void
{
showX = new XML(loader.data);
showList = showX.song;
for(var i:uint = 0; i<showList.length(); i++)
{
var track:Number = (i + 1);
if(i<9) {
output += "0" + track + ". " + showList[i].number + " " + showList[i].artist + " - " + showList[i].title + "<br>"; }
else {
output += track + ". " + showList[i].number + " " + showList[i].artist + " - " + showList[i].title + "<br>"; }
}
show_txt.htmlText = output;
}
I also need to make up about 30 of these... and short of creating 30 copies of this playlist file, is there a way i can call on the xml file in the html code? I know this is possible with mp3 players... an example of which is here:
Code:
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0','width','400','height','275','src','playlist_player?xml_path=66011.xml','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','playlist_player?xml_path=66011.xml' );
If anyone knows how this could be done so I can create one shell swf file, and load the xml file in the html/php code. Thanks!!
