Still working on getting the list to see the XML...maybe I'm not
doing this correctly, I assumed that I would need to parse the xml
out of my_xml into an array and populate the list like that...but now
I'm thinking I just need to provide my_XML as a dataprovider to
list??? I'm so confused...any good referance docs would be wonderful
or maybe someone has done this before?...it seems my_XML is out of
scope for the list item...thanks for looking..
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<PLAYLIST>
<FILE>
<label>test1</label>
</FILE>
<FILE>
<label>test2</label>
</FILE>
<FILE>
<label>test3</label>
</FILE>
<FILE>
<label>test4</label>
</FILE>
</PLAYLIST>
CODE:
//create urlloader and urlRequest
public function urlloader():void{
var xml_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
var xml_request:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("playlist.xml");
xml_loader.load(xml_request);
xml_loader.addEventListener("complete", onComplete);
}
//Read XML doc and load course contents
public function onComplete(event:Event): void{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
my_xml = new XML(loader.data);
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true
};
<mx:List id="list" alpha="0.0" borderStyle="none" height="278"
dataProvider="{my_xml}" selectable="true" width="188"
allowMultipleSelection="false" textRollOverColor="#0080C0"></mx:List>
