Array push not working??

[flashpipe1]

I've got the following code loading some xml, creating dynamic arrays and pushing the data into the array...

I pulled some pieces out because it seems like each push overwrites the previous entry and I'm not sure why it's not working?! I posted the xml and code (without the trace statements) below, and also attached the fla and xml files in a zip...if anyone has an idea what I've got wrong that would be GREAT!!!

var counties:XML = new XML();
counties.ignoreWhite = true;
counties.onLoad = function(success) {
	xN = counties.firstChild.firstChild;
	do {
		currID = xN.attributes.ID;
		var countyID:Array = new Array();
		_root["arr"+currID] = countyID;
		loadLocs();
		xN = xN.nextSibling;
	} while (xN.firstChild != null);
};
// Load the XML
counties.load("locsName.xml");
loadLocs = function () {
	nextN = xN.firstChild.firstChild;
	var tmp:Object = new Object();
	do {
		tmp.Name1 = nextN.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];		
		_root["arr"+currID].push(tmp);
		nextN = nextN.nextSibling;
	} while (nextN.firstChild != null);
};

and the xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<Counties>	
	<County Name="Cook" ID="031" eRegion="1">
		<Locs>
			<Loc>
				<Name1>Air Cycle Corporation</Name1>				
			</Loc>
			<Loc>
				<Name1>Assistive Technology Exchange Network</Name1>			
			</Loc>
			<Loc>
				<Name1>Chicago Coalition for Information Access Community</Name1>
			</Loc>				
		</Locs>
	</County>
	<County Name="Crawford" ID="033" eRegion="8">
		<Locs>
			<Loc>
				<Name1>Crawford test</Name1>				
			</Loc>
		</Locs>
	</County>
	<County Name="DuPage" ID="043" eRegion="1">
		<Locs>
			<Loc>
				<Name1>Com2 Computers and Technology</Name1>
			</Loc>
			<Loc>
				<Name1>Fortune Plastic and Metal, Inc.</Name1> 
			</Loc>
		</Locs>
	</County>

Thanks!!

Try initializing the tmp variable inside the do, while loop...

counties.load("locsName.xml");
loadLocs = function () {
	nextN = xN.firstChild.firstChild;
	do {
		var tmp:Object = new Object();
		tmp.Name1 = nextN.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
		_root["arr" + currID].push(tmp);
		nextN = nextN.nextSibling;
	} while (nextN.firstChild != null);
};

PS. Did you get the file I emailed to you last night?

[flashpipe1]

Yeah, unfortunately, that clears the array out each time (since it creates a new array each time it goes through the loop) and I only end up with the final value instead of each value...

And, yes, I did get the file...THANKS!! I replied to your email and forwarded it on to my client...haven't heard from him yet, which is usually a good thing...

Thanks!!

Okay.
This is what I tried...

var counties:XML = new XML();
counties.ignoreWhite = true;
counties.onLoad = function(success) {
	xN = counties.firstChild.firstChild;
	do {
		currID = xN.attributes.ID;
		var countyID:Array = new Array();
		_root["arr" + currID] = countyID;
		loadLocs();
		xN = xN.nextSibling;
	} while (xN.firstChild != null);
	trace(" ---------------- ")
	for ( i in _root["arr031"]){
		trace(i + " " + _root["arr031"][i])
		for ( j in _root["arr031"][i]){
			trace(j + " " + _root["arr031"][i][j])
		}
	}
	trace(" ---------------- ")
	trace(_root["arr031"][0].Name1)
};
// Load the XML
counties.load("locsName.xml");
loadLocs = function () {
	nextN = xN.firstChild.firstChild;
	do {
		var tmp:Object = new Object();
		tmp.Name1 = nextN.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
		_root["arr" + currID].push(tmp);
		nextN = nextN.nextSibling;
	} while (nextN.firstChild != null);
};

And it traces out the values, weird?

[flashpipe1]

ah, in the first do loop...cool...let me try that...

[flashpipe1]

SWEET!! That did it!! Thank you!! I think the key was to declare the object within the second do...while.

Whew! I thought I was going to have to pull all my hair out...



Thanks!!
