Hi all!

I am new to animate cc.

How to display a specific XML elements from as3 in a dynamic text box through button.

 

I have a XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<details>
<studentname="john" rollno="101201" totalmarks="100"  obtainedmarks="85"><stage="1"/>

<studentname="roy" rollno="223254" totalmarks="100"  obtainedmarks="80"><stage="1"/>

<studentname="harry" rollno="101388" totalmarks="100"  obtainedmarks="75"><stage="1"/>

</details>

 

If you have any example .FLA please provide

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

    ActionScript uses a thing called E4X. It's a way of accessing XML that makes things a lot easier. But, that doesn't mean it's easy to explain.

    See if you can make sense of this article:

    I changed your XML to make it more correct. You can copy and paste this into Actions in a new AS3 FLA, then test movie, to see what results it gives.

     

    var xml:XML = new XML('<details><student studentname="john" rollno="101201" totalmarks="100" obtainedmarks="85" stage="1"/><student studentname="roy" rollno="223254" totalmarks="100" obtainedmarks="80" stage="1"/><student studentname="harry" rollno="101388" totalmarks="100" obtainedmarks="75" stage="1"/></details>');
var studentdetails:XMLList = xml..student;
trace(studentdetails[2].@studentname)
