That got me on the right track. I have one little wrinkle to work out of this
first attempt. Here's my code:
package
{
imports here
class suchandsuch extends MovieClip
{
var pageDetails:String = new String();
var urlXMLLoader:URLLoader;
function suchandsuch()
{
XMLLoader();
Text();
}
function XMLLoader()
{
var urlXMLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest('pageDetails.xml');
urlXMLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeXMLListener);
urlXMLLoader.load(urlXMLRequest);
}
function completeXMLListener(e:Event):void
{
var xmlData:XML = XML (e.target.data);
pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString();
}
function Text()
{
more stuff here
myText.htmlText = pageDetails;
myText.htmlText += "Lorem ipsum dolor sitipsum, convallis consequat
orci.<br /><br />";
more stuff
Now, if I put a trace under this line:
myText.htmlText = pageDetails;
I get :
[object textField]
which is what I want. But it doesn't print anything to screen. If I put the
following trace under this line:
pageDetails = xmlData.DETAILS.toString();
trace(pageDetails);
it traces out what I want. No errors. Please advise.
TIA,
John
