extremely strange

[compuboy1010]

Hi folks. How can this be? When I click on the country movie clip(i.e "at", the partners of the the country that I clickd previously are displayed in the tPartners textfield. So the display is always on click late.
Maybe it is a stupid question but does the script wait until the function call "loadPartners(sCountry);" in the display() Function wait until that call is completed? Or does it continue? That would explain why i used the previous data.


stop();
_root.mc_breadcrumb.path.text = "Kontakt > Händler";
_root.mc_breadcrumb.maincat.text = "Kontakt";
var aPartners:Array = new Array();
var xmlPartners:XML;
var sCountry:String;
var aCountries:Array = new Array();

aCountries["at"] = "Österreich";
aCountries["nl"] = "Niederlande";


function display(sCountry:String):Void {
loadPartners(sCountry);
this.tCountry.htmlText = aCountries[sCountry];
this.tPartners.htmlText = "";
var sOutput:String = '';
for (var i = 0; i<aPartners.length; i++) {
if (aPartners[i]["url"] == '--') {
sOutput += "<b>Name:</b><br><p>"+aPartners[i]["name"]+"</p>";
} else {
sOutput += "<b>Name:</b><br><p>"+"<a href=""+aPartners[i]["url"]+"">"+aPartners[i]["name"]+"</a></p>";
}
sOutput += "<b>Adresse:</b><br><p>"+aPartners[i]["address"]+"</p>";
sOutput += "<b>Tel:</b><br><p>"+aPartners[i]["tel"]+"</p>";
sOutput += "<b>Fax:</b><br><p>"+aPartners[i]["fax"]+"</p>";
sOutput += "<b>Email:</b><br><p>"+aPartners[i]["email"]+"</p><br><br>";
}
this.tPartners.htmlText = sOutput;
}
function loadPartners(sCountry:String):Void {
xmlPartners = new XML();
xmlPartners.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlPartners.onLoad = function(bSuccess:Boolean) {
if (bSuccess) {
var xnPartners:XMLNode = xmlPartners.firstChild;
var xnPartner:XMLNode;
var xnName:XMLNode;
var xnUrl:XMLNode;
var xnAddress:XMLNode;
var xnTel:XMLNode;
var xnFax:XMLNode;
var xnEmail:XMLNode;
for (var i = 0; i<xnPartners.childNodes.length; i++) {
aPartners[i] = new Array();
xnPartner = xnPartners.childNodes[i];
xnName = xnPartner.firstChild;
aPartners[i]["name"] = xnName.firstChild.nodeValue;
aPartners[i]["country"] = xnName.attributes.country;
xnUrl = xnName.nextSibling;
aPartners[i]["url"] = xnUrl.firstChild.nodeValue;
xnAddress = xnUrl.nextSibling;
aPartners[i]["address"] = xnAddress.firstChild.nodeValue;
xnTel = xnAddress.nextSibling;
aPartners[i]["tel"] = xnTel.firstChild.nodeValue;
xnFax = xnTel.nextSibling;
aPartners[i]["fax"] = xnFax.firstChild.nodeValue;
xnEmail = xnFax.nextSibling;
aPartners[i]["email"] = xnEmail.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
} else {
this.tPartners.htmlText = "Da gibt es ein Problem.";
}
// end of else
};
//end .onload
xmlPartners.load("de/kontakt/php/partners.php?country="+sCountry);
}
// end of function

this.mcSubmenuVendors.mcPartners.mcSubItemAt.onPre ss = function() {
// Östereich
display("at");
};
this.mcSubmenuVendors.mcPartners.mcSubItemNl.onPre ss = function() {
// Niederlande
display("nl");
};

};

I am not sure but could this line cause the problems?


var sOutput:String = '';

OK here is some huge problem that i have.

A movie clip "a" event handler is calling a function "b" when "a" is clicked.
function "b" calls a function "c" which sets some global variables by loading an xml file in an xml.onLoad event handler inside c.

The big problem that i have now which prevents me from continuing my work for the last week is that function b already continues with its next operation while the successful loading of the xml file has not completed yet. How can I make the second line of code in funtion b excecute only after the onload handler in function c has finished loading the xml file. Because on each first excecution of the script b displays "nothing" because the second line in function b is already executed(displaying the data) while the onload handler hasn't got all the data yet.

What is the solution?

haven't looked in too much detail at your code, but could my answer to your other question also be the answer to this - array starts at 0, if 0 is empty it will still use that first value, hence always being late.
Please disregard if not related - a little in a rush today:)
