You don't need any code inside the clip, I think you're approaching this the wrong way around. Why have the XML node based on the frame's label? You already know it's going to "intro" since you have to tell the MovieClip to go there. Do something like this instead:
var destination:String = "intro"; myClip.gotoAndPlay(destination); myClip.myTextField.text = myXML.myNode.(@destination); Hope that helps, Jason Merrill Bank of America Global Learning Shared Services Solutions Development Monthly meetings on making the most of the Adobe Flash Platform - presented by bank associates, Adobe engineers, and outside experts in the borader multimedia community - join the Bank of America Flash Platform Community (note: this is for Bank of America employees only) -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Isaac Alves Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 8:17 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] help with frame navigation and xml Hi, I'd like to have a function that tells a MovieClip to go to a specific frame and then in this frame, look for a scpecific tag in an XML file, based on the frame's label, and then take some text (a bunch of actually) that is in the XML node and put it on a TextField. For example, clicking on a "Next Frame" button it will go to the next frame (which has a label "intro") of the movieclip and then search "content.xml" for the tag that contains the attribute name equal to "intro" and then put the content of the "....@text" node into an empty TextField that is already positioned in this "intro" frame. Am I obligated to have the code in this specfic frame? I'm doing it because if I have too much text within textfields in an FLA file it becomes incredibly lagged and therefore impossible to work. I've tried to use the event ENTER.FRAME to do that but it rendered the SWF lagged and consomming way too much memory... Help !! Thanks in advance!!
