[RESOLVED] [F8] Calendar Problem

[jamesloacher]

You should put your load function after the onload function.

myxml.onload// Put first

myxml.load//Put after your on load function and it should work just fine

I have a function populateEventDates();

inside this function it calls a function loadEventXML();

this is my XML function:

loadEventXML = function(month:Number){
	var events_xml = new XML(); 
	events_xml.ignoreWhite = true; 
	events_xml.onLoad = function(success){ 
		
		if (success) {
			for (var i:Number = 1; i <= events_xml.childNodes.length; i++){
				var eventDate = events_xml.childNodes[i-1].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
				var eventName = events_xml.childNodes[i-1].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
				var eventText = events_xml.childNodes[i-1].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
				_root.eventData[i*3-3] = eventDate;
				_root.eventData[i*3-2] = eventName;
				_root.eventData[i*3-1] = eventText;
			}
			trace("XML Data for " + monthNames[month] + " loaded");
		}else{
			trace("Error loading XML file for " + monthNames[month]); 
		}
	} 
events_xml.load("xml/" + (month+1)+".xml");
}

Later in teh populateDates() fucntion it calls a fuunction that uses the XML data now saved to eventData.

checkForEvent = function(dateCheck:Number){
	trace("Checking For Event");
	for (var index:Number = 0; index<=_root.eventData.length; index++){
		trace("Looking for event");
		if (_root.eventData[index] == dateCheck){
			trace("Return Event " + _root.eventData[i+1]);
			return _root.eventData[i+1];
		}
	}
	trace("No Event Found");
	return "";
}

Even though checkForEvent is loaded after loadEventXML, ,in teh trace window I still get "Looking for event" traced once for every check and at teh end I get "Data for " + monthNames[month] + " loaded". Why is the XML not loaded by now?

Finally figured it out.

Put the coad that requirest teh XML data inside the onLoad function. I dont know why it was calling it in the wrong order to begin wiht, but this fixed it and it all works YEAH!! www.zetapsioshawa.org hit the events button. WOOT!
