movie clip problems and xml variables

[norman duval]

Note: The fla is single frame multi_layer with the MoviePlayer instance on a layer. The problems I anm having are having the Movie Clip go to a frame in the movie clip and stay there: and loading the frame by a variable generated by flashframeno. This is the code I am using to extract the values and an example of the code that goes to the frame and then returns to the first frame. I am sure others have experienced this problem.



function ParseXML () {
myxml = xml1.firstChild;
if (myxml.hasChildNodes()) {
var cbtdata = myxml.childNodes;
}
for (var z = 0; z<cbtdata.length; ++z) {
if (cbtdata[z].nodeName.toLowerCase() == record) {
var cbtdata = cbtdata[z].childNodes;
for (var z = 0; z<cbtdata.length; ++z) {
if (cbtdata[z].nodeName.toLowerCase() == "flashframeno")
{
var flashframeno = cbtdata[z].firstChild.nodeValue;
}

if (cbtdata[z].nodeName.toLowerCase() == "graphicname") {
var getgraphicname = cbtdata[z].firstChild.nodeValue;
with(MoviePlayer)
loadMovie (getgraphicname, "MoviePlayer");
setProperty (MoviePlayer, _x, 0);
setProperty (MoviePlayer, _y, 0);
MoviePlayer.gotoAndStop(flashframeno) // doesn't display the frame generated by the variable in the previous "if" statement..
Change the MoviePlayer to read

MoviePlayer.gotoAndStop(3) // Displays the frame briefly and drops back to the first frame.
}

Huh? Goes to the frame then returns the first frame....

I guess I'm a little lost...

Also - why do you do this:

var cbtdata = myxml.childNodes; ???

Is there any whitespace in your XML document?? That might mess you up....

Speaking of messing you up - are you sure that the XML document is 'correct'? In other words - you're sure that you're not asking it for something that doesn't exist??
