I am very new to flash and trying to learn to read and parse XML files.
it seems to work really elegantly except I have an issue with what seems to be caching that makes it hard to check my work.
this works fine to load and trace the list.xml file on my server, however, if i edit list.xml, and then hit ctrl-enter to rerun the swf, the changes are not reflected in the program. in fact, i can delete list.xml off the server and it keeps tracing the the file that was originally loaded.Code:var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xmlData:XML = new XML(); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML); xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.somedomain.com/flashtest/list.xml")); function LoadXML(e:Event):void { xmlData = new XML(e.target.data); trace(xmlData); }
i have to actually close out my .fla file and reopen it to get it to update.
i am sure there is something silly i am missing but i have been messing with it for hours.
thanks for any help
