RE: Load dynamically created xml into Flash

[Jim Schell]

I am just checking to see if this has been resolved as I get the same error
as Alan did. I actually get the cf code and not data returned too the flash
object.

Also I would like to know if the xml.Load(xxx.cfm) part could actually be a
cfc method

Here is my cfm, this actually works and returns an xml structure.

<cfquery name="GetRules" datasource="MFRRules">
SELECT a.tab, b.subtab, b.caption, b.rulekey, b.zipname, b.licensee,
b.source, b.reason, b.comments
from rules a, rules b
where a.tab=b.tab 
order by a.tab, b.subtab, b.caption
</cfquery>

<cfxml variable="xmlDoc">
        <node label="Tabs">
                <cfoutput query="GetRules"  group="tab">

                        <node label="#tab#">
                                <cfoutput group="subtab">               
                                        <node label="#subtab#">
                                                <cfoutput group="caption">
                                                        <node 
        
label="#XMLFormat(caption)#" 
        
Rulekey="#rulekey#"
        
URL="http://www.myfirerules.com/downloads/rules/#zipname#";
        
zipname="#zipname#"
        
licensee="#licensee#"
        
rulecaption="#XMLFormat(caption)#"
        
rulesource="#source#"
        
reason="#XMLFormat(reason)#"
        
comments="#XMLFormat(comments)#"
                                                        />
                                                </cfoutput>
                                        </node> 
                                </cfoutput>
                        </node>
                </cfoutput>
        </node> 
</cfxml>


Here is the action script 2.0 stuff

var testXML:XML = new XML();
testXML.ignoreWhite = true;

testXML.onLoad = function(success){
        if(success){
                textXML.text = this; //display the xml in a dynamic text box
on the stage
        }else{
                //throw error
                trace("file not found");
        }
}//end onLoad function


//path to the cf script file
testXML.load("xmlTree.cfm");


myTreeDataProvider = new XML(); 
// ignore whitespace in XML (important)
myTreeDataProvider.ignoreWhite = true; 
// load external XML file
myTreeDataProvider.load("xmlTree.cfm"); 
// onLoad handler for XML data 

myTreeDataProvider.onLoad = function()
{ tree_control.dataProvider = myTreeDataProvider;
}


The first part returns the xml to a dynamic text box. All I see is the
<cfxml> code from the cfm page

I tried to put this into a flash tree component and I get some bizarre
problem of [type Function], [type Function] etc

It some what works in that the tree has some data but it is not formatted
correctly. It stops at the caption part of the cfm page with regards to
results returned.

I am thinking that this could be a white space issue. But I am too new to
know better.

Thanks 

Jim

Could this be a cfc method as well?

I've only used the tree component a little, but I think that would work
fine. You don't need to do anything in Flash but change the path/filename of
the xml file it's using to be the coldfusion page which will output the xml
dynamically. The Coldfusion file will follow the loose code that Alan
outlined in the first post.
