Unless there's a significant reason for needing separate XML files
for each... keyframe(?)... you can put them all together much more
easily and load everything from the beginning into an array of
objects. This way you only have to refer to local storage and not
have to call to the server over and over for each... uh... keyframe...

Not sure why you're using keyframes for each. You can keep the same
textFields, and just update them.
Last tip: your news articles in the XML don't need to be news1,
news2, news3. If you put them in an array you'll have news_array
[0].title, news_array[1].title and so on.

Hello All,
Quick question about an xml file I am loading into a dynamic text box.
K, I have a dynamic text box/area that loads a simple xml file
using the
following:
var RootNode:XMLNode;
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = loadNews;
myXML.load("xmlnews1/newsData.xml");
function loadNews(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
RootNode = this.firstChild;
var content_str:String = ""+RootNode.childNodes[1].firstChild;
content_str +=" ("+RootNode.childNodes[0].firstChild;
content_str += ")" + RootNode.childNodes[2].firstChild;
news_txt.text = content_str;
}
}
OK, That works splendidly. Below is the xml file.

What I need to do is use the same xml file on numerous keyframes
but have each frame contain different text.
So could I do this?

*added to xml file for second keyframe
<news1 xmlns="http://www.#.com";><newsDate xmlns="">June 31,
2008</newsDate><newsTitle1 xmlns="">Second Story
Title</newsTitle><newsContent1 xmlns="">Here is the second story full
text</newsContent1>
</news1>
*added to xml file for third keyframe
<news2 xmlns="http://www.#.com";><newsDate xmlns="">June 32,
2008</newsDate><newsTitle2 xmlns="">Third Story
Title</newsTitle><newsContent2 xmlns="">Here is the third story full
text</newsContent1>
</news2>
Also I am thinking I will need something in each keyframe to call
the specific text section of the xml file.
*Note*
In the beginning I had/have a dynamic text box on each keframe and
each was
calling a seperate xml doc.
this way I will have only ONE xml file to edit for all the
keyframes instead
of 80! I am really enjoying the
difficulty of this task.
Hope someone can help.
Much love,
