Re: [Flashcoders] Quickie for xml dynamic text loader in flash

2007-10-22 Thread Radley Marx



Unless there's a significant reason for needing separate XML files  
for each... keyframe(?)... you can put them all together much more  
easily and load everything from the beginning into an array of  
objects. This way you only have to refer to local storage and not  
have to call to the server over and over for each... uh... keyframe...

Not sure why you're using keyframes for each. You can keep the same  
textFields, and just update them.


Last tip: your news articles in the XML don't need to be news1,  
news2, news3. If you put them in an array you'll have news_array 
[0].title, news_array[1].title and so on.

What I need to do is use the same xml file on numerous keyframes

So could I do this?

Also I am thinking I will need something in each keyframe to call

In the beginning I had/have a dynamic text box on each keframe and

calling a seperate xml doc.
this way I will have only ONE xml file to edit for all the

Hope someone can help.
