Hi all,
I have a project that I have spec'ed for developing in Flash MX 04 (or Flash
8) along with Director MX 04. The project has a large amount of data that
will be read into the program. I'm trying to determine whether there are any
practical limitations to using XML with Flash. The data lends itself
beautifully to XML, and would be an easy conversion to XML from the source
documents provided by my client. However, there is a considerable amount of
data, consisting of 5000 records in a structure with nodes nested 7-10
levels deep, such as:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ family
+ subgroup (1 to n levels of subgroups, varies by family)
+ subgroup
+ subgroup
+ subgroup
+ part-type
+ part
x part-number
x part-description
+ item
x item-type
x item-filename
x item-label
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ NODE (0 or more of each) x TBD: ELEMENT or ATTR of parent element
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The data will not require sorting. Data will be presented in the sequence
contained in the XML file. In addition, searching will only be done by
*part-number* with optional filtering by *item-type*.
So, I have approx. 5000 *item* records and prefer to do this with XML. The
project is CD-based, not an online application. Is it practical to
read/parse that much XML into a single XML object in a Flash application
running from CD?
