>Is there anyone who knows how to embed Director 8 with XML...
Yep (raises right hand, waves energetically).
It sounds like you need to have a clearer understanding of XML, though. You
cannot embed Director 8 with XML, simply because XML is not a programming
language.
Here's the scoop.
The crucial point with XML is that it separates data from processing. XML
is data, period. No processing allowed.
You can massage XML data in many ways--with Director (there's an Xtra),
C++, JavaScript--anything that will read a text file. Most common, though,
is the programming language XSL, or the subset XSLT.
You can use XSL to read your data, manipulate it, write it out again as
HTML, add JavaScript, write it as an RTF file--just about anything you want
to do with it. The T in XSLT stands for Transformation, which is what you
do with XSLT--you transform XML data from one form to another.
More than that may be beyond the mandate of this List. I'd sign up for a
good XSL mailing list--you'll find some real experts there. There are a few
who lurk around here, too, like Rob Koberg, but I'd still look for a list
more specific to XSL. Unless, of course, you're talking about importing XML
data into Director.
Cordially,
