N003 XML question...

[Paulskii]

B4 you say it...I know I should already know this...but here goes...

How would I extract the data attribute from the following XML into an array?

<node>
<node label="catagory1">
<node label="exibitor1" data="1, 2, 3" />
<node label="exhibitor2" data="10, 20, 30" />
</node>
<node label="catagory2">
<node label="exibitor3" data="5, 7, 9" />
<node label="exhibitor4" data="100, 200, 300" />
</node>
<node label="category3">
<node label="exibitor1" data="1, 2, 3" />
<node label="exhibitor4" data="100, 200, 300" />
</node>
</node>

var newArray:Array = new Array();

array=node.attributes.data; ???

Thanks...

arr = [];
_xml = new XML();
_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_xml.load("data.xml");

_xml.onLoad = function(){
aNode = this.firstChild.childNodes;
len = aNode.length;
for(var n=0;n!=len;n++){
len2 = aNode[n].childNodes.length;
arr[n] = [];
for(var m=0;m!=len2;m++){
arr[n][m] = aNode[n].childNodes[m].attributes.data;
}
}
};

/* produces -

 _level0.arr = [object #1, class 'Array'] [
    0:[object #2, class 'Array'] [
      0:"1, 2, 3",
      1:"10, 20, 30"
    ],
    1:[object #3, class 'Array'] [
      0:"5, 7, 9",
      1:"100, 200, 300"
    ],
    2:[object #4, class 'Array'] [
      0:"1, 2, 3",
      1:"100, 200, 300"
    ]
  ]
