display XML data

[mmdguru]

Hi flashers,

I have an XML response that goes like this:

<vervelst>
> <vervet>
> <id>10456</id>
> <fornavn></fornavn>
> <etternavn></etternavn>
> <epost>[email protected]</epost>
> <mobil>[email protected]</mobil>
> <samtykkeepost>0</samtykkeepost>
> <samtykkekonkurranse>0</samtykkekonkurranse>
> <status>2</status>
> </vervet>
> <vervet>
> <id>10464</id>
> <fornavn>Rune</fornavn>
> <etternavn>Helge</etternavn>
> <epost>[email protected]</epost>
> <mobil>[email protected]</mobil>
> <samtykkeepost>0</samtykkeepost>
> <samtykkekonkurranse>1</samtykkekonkurranse>
> <status>1</status>
> </vervet>
> </vervelst>


With my code I can trace out what is important to me, that's the status and epost nodes!

I want to load this data into a movieclip with two textfields(status and epost) in flash. The problem is that I need to add movieclips dynamically equal to the length of my XML file. The XML can contain hundreds of <vervet> nodes! This is being added from a database through asp=)

Any ideas guys?? All help is greatly appreciated!

My Code so far:

package {

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;

public class Status extends Sprite {


public var qs:QueryString = new QueryString();
public var id:int=10007;//qs.parameters.id;


public function Status() {


var scriptURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://connectorretail.com/dn/fame/hentstatus.asp");
scriptURL.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;

var postVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
postVars.id=id;
scriptURL.data=postVars;

var scriptLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
scriptLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, scriptDoneLoading);
scriptLoader.load(scriptURL);


}


function scriptDoneLoading(evt:Event):void {

var responseXML:XML=new XML(evt.target.data);
parseData(responseXML);

}

function parseData(xmlOutput:XML):void {

trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");
trace(xmlOutput.vervet.epost);
trace(xmlOutput.vervet.status)

}

}
}



As you can see, I can trace the "epost" and "status"! I just need to represent this data into flash=)

Not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish.

Don't you just want to traverse the XML graph (see http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary827.html) and create a new MovieClip object for each record??

I just want to display my xml data in flash! load the "epost" and "status" into dynamic textfields...

These textfields can be inside a movieclip. So I want to add a movieclip for each xml node.

Any ideas??

Ive managed to create the amount of movieclips that are equal to the length of my epost node in my xml document...the moveclip is called statusMC!

I need to load the epost node inside a text field in my movieclip...

How do I do that?? Please help?

All help is greatly appreciated!!

My code:

package {

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;

public class Status extends Sprite {

private var statusMC:StatusMC;
public var qs:QueryString=new QueryString ;
public var id:int=10007;//qs.parameters.id;



public function Status() {


var scriptURL:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://connectorretail.com/dn/fame/hentstatus.asp");
scriptURL.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;

var postVars:URLVariables=new URLVariables ;
postVars.id=id;
scriptURL.data=postVars;

var scriptLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader ;
scriptLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,scrip tDoneLoading);
scriptLoader.load(scriptURL);


}


function scriptDoneLoading(evt:Event):void {

var responseXML:XML=new XML(evt.target.data);
parseData(responseXML);

}

function parseData(xmlOutput:XML):void {

trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");
trace(xmlOutput.vervet.epost);
trace(xmlOutput.vervet.status);

var epostList:XMLList=xmlOutput.vervet.epost;


for (var i:int=0; i<epostList.length(); i++) {

var epostElement:XML=epostList[i];

statusMC = new StatusMC();
statusMC.x = 40;
statusMC.y = 60+(i*50);
addChild(statusMC);

trace(epostElement);

}

}

}
}
