My xml Class

Hello,

I am trying to write an xml parser type class which will read in xml data.

My problem is that when I create an instance of the class and call its load function, it is not waiting for it to load before it continues. I have the code below which is my 'load' function, but i have no way of telling in my document class when it has fully loaded. Is there a way of doing this? When I call loadXML(fileName); Its continuing without waiting for a full load.

Correct answer kglad
dispatch an event from your xmlLoaded function and add a listener for that event to your loadXML instance.

How would I dispatch an event from xmlLoaded that would make the document class wait?

Can I listen for the event from a different class? As I'm running myXmlParser.loadXML(fileName); from my document class to implement the above class.

I already have an event listener in the loadXML function, but this doesn't cause the document class to wait until the xml has been loaded into the :XML object.

I can't find it in the AS3 help files and I'm really stumped on this one,,, any help will be very appreciated!

Thank you.

*Edit.....

I have tried inserting dispatcher and listener as bellow into the corresponding functions but this throws up errors 1180: call to a possibly undefined method.

It now works perfectly!

I added the dispatcher to the xmlLoader function and the listener to the constructor of the class I wanted to listen for it in.


Thank you Kglad
