hi arri,
you just have to set the the XMLObject's property "ignoreWhite" to 1:
e.g.:
on beginSprite me
flashXml = newObject("XML")
flashXml.ignoreWhite = 1
setCallback(flashXml, "onLoad", #xmlLoaded, me)
flashXml.load("http://extra.waag.org/users/arjen/xml.txt";)
end
on exitFrame me
go the frame
end
on xmlLoaded me, obj
put obj.childNodes.length
put obj.childNodes[0].childNodes.length
put obj.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes.length
put obj.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes.length
end
--> message window:
-- 1.0000
-- 1.0000
-- 1.0000
-- 10.0000
I think the problem is that with the default setting "ignoreWhite=0"
the white space AFTER your closing </control>-tag (2 unix line feeds)
is treated as new text node.
cheers,
valentin
