Textarea components Help!

[redpapaelmo]

Hi to all!

I'm currently creating a flash project and I encounter a problem using the TextArea Component, I'm working with the following files:

1. pathfinder.txt - this is where the path of my file is located
sample:
path1=news/current.xml
path2=
.
.

2. current.xml - the file that should be loaded in the TextArea.

3. mycss.css - a cascading stlye sheet.

Can anybody tell me on how can I load the xml file to the TextArea?
Please

Post on a MX2004 forum... This is a MX and LOWER only forum, and the TextArea component is not available on MX only...

hello,
The TextArea can be filled like many others component by adressing the .text property.
Then to open your xml file and read it, you must create an XML object and describe how to behave when the file will be loaded, that means what to do when the file has been read with the onLoad

myObjectXML = new XML() ;
myObjectXML.ignoreWhite     = true ;
myObjectXML.onLoad  = load_XML_function ; // what to do when the file has been load 
myObjectXML.load     ('news/current.xml) ;   // that's tell where is your file and it's relative to you .swf 

So it means that you have a load_XML_function somewhere in your class in which you will extract the content to put it in your textArea.text. It's probably a loop whell you will from the top to the bot with some nextSibling.
They are different scenarios depending on the structure of your file
I hope it's helpfull !
