[F6!!!] Array w. XML issue

**ChaseNYC** · 12-22-2006, 05:24 AM

i'm not sure if this is a problem with the version of Flash(Flash 6) I'm using or just poor coding... but check out what the values are returning... it seems I cannot differentiate between myArray[0] and myArray[1] once [1] is assigned [0] gets all the attributes of [1]... please someone help me! here is the code:

Code:

//declare our xml object
myXML = new XML();
//ignore any whitespace found 
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
var temp = new Object();
var myArray = new Array;
//setup an event to track the data coming in
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
//data loaded....lets begin

for (var i=0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
temp.Title=this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
temp.Body=this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
temp.Keywords=this.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
myArray[i]=temp;

}
};

myXML.load("samples.xml");

function displayMember(){

txtTitle.text=myArray[0].Title; 
txtBody.text=myArray[0].Body
txtKeywords.text=myArray[0].Keywords;
}

btnNext.onPress=function(){
	displayMember();
	trace(myArray[0].Title + " and " + myArray[1].Title);
// RETURNS:Sample Practice Two and Sample Practice Two
	//
	temp.Title="test title";
	temp.Body="test body";
	trace(myArray[0].Body + " and " + myArray[2].Body);
//RETURNS: test body and 
	myArray[2]=temp;
//RETURNS: test body and test body
trace(myArray[0].Body + " and " + myArray[2].Body);
}
stop();

edit: here is the xml incase it will help understand:

Code:

<samples>

<sample>
<title>Sample Practice One</title>
<body>Fox in the whole went round and round!</body>
<keywords>corporate espionage, privacy, hr</keywords>
</sample>


<sample>
<title>Sample Practice Two</title>
<body>Dog jumped over the merry fox!</body>
<keywords>privacy, hr, laptops</keywords>
</sample>

</samples>

if i'm missing any info needed to help, just let me know... Thanks in advance,

Move where you define 'temp' like to in the loop:
for (var i=0, temp=new Object(); i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
...

Code:

myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("samples.xml");
var myArray = new Array;

myXML.onLoad = function(){
for (var i=0; i<this.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++){
temp = new Object();
aNode = this.firstChild.childNodes[i];
temp.Title = aNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
temp.Body = aNode.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
temp.Keywords = aNode.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
myArray[i] = temp;
}
};

// List Variables shows --

/*
_level0.myArray = [object #2, class 'Array'] [
    0:[object #3, class 'Object'] {
      Title:"Sample Practice One",
      Body:"Fox in the whole went round and round!",
      Keywords:"corporate espionage, privacy, hr"
    },
    1:[object #4, class 'Object'] {
      Title:"Sample Practice Two",
      Body:"Dog jumped over the merry fox!",
      Keywords:"privacy, hr, laptops"
    }
  ]
*/
