[Flashcoders] XML Document and Navigation
Hello Everyone, I run into a problem, something that probably a lot of people here knows how to solve. But after sitting for 2 days building nestes for loops, i can't see the light by the end of the tunnel :-) So, here is a problem: I have to build an xml based navigation, so far, quite simple and clear. Made it already a few times, but, now, this is a bit more complicated, because i got a much deeper nested sub levels, and i really don't know how to efficient traverse the document and build the navigation out of it :| The most complex navigation i made had 2 levels, so it wasn't really hard to imagine the code for this task: 2 for loops done the nav creation and that's it, but i got now, an undefined deep, and i don't know how to bite the code that will build the nav, that goes a bit deeper then one- sub level. Do you guys got any examples or thoughts on how to solve the task? Im pretty sure that i got an logical error in my approach, since i will use some nested for loops, but i can't think the formula since i don't know how deep each of the nodes goes, and this task gives me headaches. any kind of help and pinpointing to right direction would be VERY appreciated cheers, Patrick -- fancy skills to pay the bills www.jankun.org Phone: +43 660 96 969 - 01 web:jankun.org mail: p[at]jankun.org ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Sounds like a job for recursion. Here's a tutorial I found: http://www.cs.umd.edu/class/spring2002/cmsc214/Tutorial/recursion.html I don't recommend the wikipedia page for recursion since it's very dense and isn't designed to teach the basic concept. -jonathan On Sun, Sep 7, 2008 at 11:52 AM, Patrick J.
