Re: [SPAM] Re: [flexcoders] Loading XML
All requests to load resources are HTTP requests in Flex.flex is not the best at returning you the exact HTTP status codes in these situations(which will tell you the true reason for the error). Try using an HTTP traffic monitor like http://www.charlesproxy.com/ It will tell you exactly what causes the error. you can post the HTTP traffic dump which we could analyze. I believe flex 4 also has a network monitor which can be used during development time.

Re: [flexcoders] Loading XML in preloader/ before application onComplete
Extend the DownloadProgressBar Class (name it e.g myPreloader) and
override the preloader:
override public function set preloader(value:Sprite):void
{
value.addEventListener(FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE,
FlexInitComplete); // I added my download function to the
INIT_COMPLETE event
}
Write sometihing like this as the event handler:
private function FlexInitComplete(event:Event):void
{
Security.loadPolicyFile([you'll need a policy file I guess]);
var getXMLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(http://
[whatever].xml);
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
securityErrorHandler);
try {
xmlLoader.load(getXMLReq);
} catch (error:Error) {
trace(Unable to load requested document.);
Alert.show(Security error + error.errorID.toString());
}
}
Then sth. like this ...
private function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
var theXML:XML = new XML(loader.data);
}
Check the DownloadProgressBar doc for some more events to complete the
process
In the Application tag set your preloader
Application
.
.
preloader=myPreloader
.
. /
Hope that helps somehow ... for me it works.

Re: [flexcoders] Loading XML in preloader/ before application onComplete
Wow, that is pretty descriptive... thank you very much Rico...!
umm.. so Extending the downloadprogressbar class is the way...
I will try it out in sometime. Thank you very much for your help..

Re: [flexcoders] loading xml
Looks like you need to use the mxmlc compiler argument '-use-
network=false' when compiling your application.
Flex livedocs entry on this topic: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/
flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?
context=LiveDocs_Partsfile=1500.html
You're code also looks a bit odd to me. I don't believe it will
compile because the URLLoader constructors requires a URLRequest and
won't accept a string value. I'm guessing you meant
myLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);

Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access

Do i need to do something different for local files? I would think
it would be the same as how you load from a URL...
thanks.

Re: [flexcoders] loading xml
Aaron,there is a space in the filename " menu.xml" and i also think it might be in the resources directory - try "resources/menu.xml" - when you go and publish this you need to be aware that the relative path is from the root of the webserver - not the path of the flash file.I have a nice utility library which does this and also loads jpgs etc in a queue fashion if you are interested.RegardsSamuelOn 13 Aug 2006, at 02:45, aaron smith wrote:how do I load local XML?

RE: [flexcoders] loading xml
I use a function like this:
private
function loadXml(aXmlFileName:String, aResultCallBack:Function):void
{
var
xmlLoader:HTTPService;
xmlLoader
= new HTTPService();
xmlLoader.resultFormat
= e4x;
xmlLoader.url
= "">
xmlLoader.addEventListener(fault,
Application.application.handleFault);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(result,
aResultCallBack);
xmlLoader.send();
}
The URL aXmlFileName follows
the format config/MasterData.xml for example, where config is a
directory in the folder where the Flex application has been downloaded from.
In your callback function, you can deal
with the XML as follows:
private
function handleMasterDataXmlLoaded(aEvent:ResultEvent):void
{
var masterDataXml:XML;
masterDataXml
= aEvent.result as XML;
}

Re: [flexcoders] loading xml
Ok question about using the -use-network switch.why do you have to use that to access local files. That just seems like a pain. why would you have to switch back and forth depending on you're build type. DEV sv LIVE. What if in some cases you're DEV version needs to access network for remoting or wsdls? Or services other vendor's provide..
Is this absolutely neccessary to use in order to access local file system?thanks.On 8/13/06, Samuel Colak

Re: [flexcoders] loading xml
I had the same questions and I did some testing today.
If you are using URLLoader.load you don't have to use the use-network
compiler switch.
Assuming you are using relative URLs, as in URLLoader.load(new
URLRequest(data.file)), you will be able to load from local to local
(when testing your app in FlashBuilder) and remote to remote (when you
deploy).
I think the compiler switch is for (remote ?) applications that use
local data files (so they can either use only local data files or only
remote data files)
