[Flashcoders] Local XML parsing?
Is it possible to parse through a local XML document using a standalone player? I have a project that calls for a 'dynamic' way to load in images and descriptions based on the contents of a CDrom. I've always used a php document that acts as XML to do this on the net. However i'm seeing that Flash's security features prohibit it from parsing through a local doc. Any input would be amazing. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Flash's security when running in a standaline projector .exe does not restrict you from loading in a local XML doc as far as I know. Are you publishing as a standalone projector .exe from Flash? No PHP required. Even on the .net, no PHP required to read XML.

Re: [Flashcoders] Local XML parsing?
i had the same problem, so i used php to write a txt file instead. made the extension on the file .xml instead of .txt and it worked great. tony On Mar 14, 2007, at 11:57 AM, Shaun Aunchman wrote: Is it possible to parse through a local XML document using a standalone player?

There should be no problem loading a local file with the standalone player... /John 14 mar 2007 kl. 16.57 skrev Shaun Aunchman: Is it possible to parse through a local XML document using a standalone player?

Actually, he didn't ask about writing out XML, just reading it.

Re: [Flashcoders] Local XML parsing?
Thanks jason for the reply, I believe i've figured out why my project wasn't working properly. I was using an onRelease handler for a movie clip to trigger the loading of an XML doc. It seems the onLoad handler for my xml instance wan't getting triggered as a result. All i had to do was put xml.load() outside of that handler. worked like a charm. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
