Hey all,
I'm parsing this xml and can't get one attribute to work as a TextFormat.
I have an app that saves XML of objects on the screen, each object has a
TextFormat attached to it so I save the XML
node with attributes for x, y, text and Textformat. Below is what is returned
to me when I load a previously saved XML.
<TemplateXML>
<TextLayer xpos="83" ypos="39" label="Wowie" format="[object TextFormat]"/>
<TextLayer xpos="16" ypos="150" label="italic text" format="[object
TextFormat]"/>
<TextLayer xpos="88" ypos="250" label="My New Album Label" format="[object
TextFormat]"/>
<TextLayer xpos="250" ypos="148" label="Side A" format="[object TextFormat]"/>
</TemplateXML>
You can see the format attribute is saved as a TextFormat object but when I
parse it I get errors saying that it is an XMLList.
Here is the method to parse the XML:
var savedXML:XMLList = custXML.TemplateXML;
for each(var lab:XML in savedXML.TextLayer){
var labelText:String = String(l...@label);
var x_pos:Number = l...@xpos;
var y_pos:Number = l...@ypos;
var savedFMT:TextFormat = l...@format as TextFormat;
trace("New Label:"+labelText+"\nx pos:"+x_pos+"\ny
pos:"+y_pos+"\nformat?"+savedFMT.font);//this throws errors
recreateLayer(labelText,x_pos,y_pos,fmt);//this creates a new
MovieClip with a textField in it and positions it on the stage.
}
Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks,
-Gerry_______________________________________________
