Hello i am workin atm at a flash file that must extract xml data from a .xml file.
It works only it shows only the last one in the textfield.
How can i show the other ones to?
Here is the code:

Code: [ Select ]
controleID = setInterval(interval, 5000);
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("info.xml");
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        var myImage = myXML.firstChild.childNodes;
        //var myTextField = ("tLabel" + i);
        for (i=0; i<myImage.length; i++) {
            var h = 40;
            var imageNumber = i+1;
            var old = 10;
            var imageName =         myImage[i].attributes.merk;
            var imagesdescription = myImage[i].attributes.sdescription;
            var imageldescription = myImage[i].attributes.ldescription;
            var imageprijs =     myImage[i].attributes.prijs;
            //Create Text Field
            createTextField("tLabel"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),10,i*h,400,old += 40);
            tLabel2.html = true;
            tLabel2.htmlText = imageName+" "+imagesdescription+" "+imageldescription+" "+imageprijs;
            tLabel2.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);
            trace(myImage[i]);
            //Text Format
            var tfFormatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            tfFormatter.font = "Arial";
            tfFormatter.size = 14;
        }
    }
};
  1. controleID = setInterval(interval, 5000);
  2. var myXML:XML = new XML();
  3. myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
  4. myXML.load("info.xml");
  5. myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
  6.     if (success) {
  7.         var myImage = myXML.firstChild.childNodes;
  8.         //var myTextField = ("tLabel" + i);
  9.         for (i=0; i<myImage.length; i++) {
  10.             var h = 40;
  11.             var imageNumber = i+1;
  12.             var old = 10;
  13.             var imageName =         myImage[i].attributes.merk;
  14.             var imagesdescription = myImage[i].attributes.sdescription;
  15.             var imageldescription = myImage[i].attributes.ldescription;
  16.             var imageprijs =     myImage[i].attributes.prijs;
  17.             //Create Text Field
  18.             createTextField("tLabel"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),10,i*h,400,old += 40);
  19.             tLabel2.html = true;
  20.             tLabel2.htmlText = imageName+" "+imagesdescription+" "+imageldescription+" "+imageprijs;
  21.             tLabel2.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);
  22.             trace(myImage[i]);
  23.             //Text Format
  24.             var tfFormatter:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  25.             tfFormatter.font = "Arial";
  26.             tfFormatter.size = 14;
  27.         }
  28.     }
  29. };

can you post your XML too? I think you have a malformed tag in your XML causing flash to ignore something.
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!

Sure here it is:
Code: [ Select ]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root-node>
<Auto merk="Berlingo" sdescription="Dit is geen, nee echt geen test" ldescription="Dit is een langere test" prijs="123"> </Auto>
<Auto merk="Toyota" sdescription="Dit is een test2" ldescription="Dit is een langere test2" prijs="1232"> </Auto>
<Auto merk="Vrachtwagen" sdescription="krte tst" ldescription="Laaaaaaaaaaaaaangge test" prijs="9999"> </Auto>

</root-node>
  1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
  2. <root-node>
  3. <Auto merk="Berlingo" sdescription="Dit is geen, nee echt geen test" ldescription="Dit is een langere test" prijs="123"> </Auto>
  4. <Auto merk="Toyota" sdescription="Dit is een test2" ldescription="Dit is een langere test2" prijs="1232"> </Auto>
  5. <Auto merk="Vrachtwagen" sdescription="krte tst" ldescription="Laaaaaaaaaaaaaangge test" prijs="9999"> </Auto>
  7. </root-node>


Just to be sure, i want to automaticly create textfields for each "<auto>"

hmm and your only getting the last item? Every thing here looks correct. Could it be that flash is building all the text fields, but stacking them on top of each other so all you ever see is the last one? You could try placing them at different x/y locations per iteration of the loop.

wait here's your issue. Your hard coding a text field into the loop so it only shows the last loop.

Code: [ Select ]
createTextField("tLabel"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),10,i*h,400,old += 40);
tLabel2.html = true;
tLabel2.htmlText = imageName+" "+imagesdescription+" "+imageldescription+" "+imageprijs;
tLabel2.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);
  1. createTextField("tLabel"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),10,i*h,400,old += 40);
  2. tLabel2.html = true;
  3. tLabel2.htmlText = imageName+" "+imagesdescription+" "+imageldescription+" "+imageprijs;
  4. tLabel2.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);
should be

Code: [ Select ]
var myTxt = createTextField("tLabel"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),10,i*h,400,old += 40);
myTxt.html = true;
myTxt.htmlText = imageName+" "+imagesdescription+" "+imageldescription+" "+imageprijs;
myTxt.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);
  1. var myTxt = createTextField("tLabel"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),10,i*h,400,old += 40);
  2. myTxt.html = true;
  3. myTxt.htmlText = imageName+" "+imagesdescription+" "+imageldescription+" "+imageprijs;
  4. myTxt.setTextFormat(tfFormatter);


so I set a variable name for the text field (each loop) called myTxt and then instead of referring to tLabel2 I refer to myTxt to set attributes.
