Re: [Flashcoders] another stupid XML question
for me i'd parse the entire xml in one go when the swf is loading. In parsing, save each subsection of the xml data into an array. When the button needs it, simply access the array. this is not a stupid question because I've seen similar scenarios in which the xml was completely reloaded only to target the desired subsection of the xml.

This is very odd, but... if you want to replace xml with another xml:
my_xml = new XML();
function loadXML1 (){
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.onLoad = loadXML1_loaded;
my_xml.load(data1.xml);
}
function loadXML2 (){
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.onLoad = loadXML2_loaded;
my_xml.load(data2.xml);
}
function loadXML1_loaded ( success ){
{
if (success)trace(this);
}
function loadXML2_loaded ( success )
{
if (success)trace(this);
}
//
// USING XPATH

But maybe you want to load a single xml and query parts of it - enter XPath.

I think Attila is right in saying you need to not worry about changing the
xml, but rather how you use the data. In order for you to do that, you need
to convert ( parse ) the xml into a useable object. Then get the information
you need from that object.
Start by making an object that is like the xml;
obj = {
concept: [ {path: images/a1.jpg, br:413, ho:550,
thumbpath:thumbnails/a1.jpg, thumbwidth:56,thumbheight:75 },
{path: images/vue.jpg, br:550, ho:309,
thumbpath:thumbnails/vue.jpg, thumbwidth:56,thumbheight:75 } ],
details: [ {path: images/a1.jpg, br:413, ho:550,
thumbpath:thumbnails/a1.jpg, thumbwidth:56,thumbheight:75 },
{path: images/a2.jpg, br:550, ho:413,
thumbpath:thumbnails/a2.jpg, thumbwidth:56,thumbheight:75 } ]
}
Then access parts of your information when needed;
var array = obj.concept;
for ( var i = 0; i array.length; i++ ){
var thumbData = array [i];
var path = thumbData.path;
trace( 'concept path: ' + path );
}
var array = obj.details;
for ( var i = 0; i array.length; i++ ){
var thumbData = array [i];
var path = thumbData.path;
trace( 'details path: ' + path );
}
Once you get your thumbnails working, you can go back to the xml and work on
parsing it into that object above. You can try your own parser, or the handy
XML2Object - everything after this is just logic.
