XML loading and scope problem

>>btw, when I understood using "this" is a wrong way, i decided to assign it
to a variable. But I could not understand why I cant use "this" instead of
assigning it to a variable? could you tell me why if it is possible


Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. In your orignal code,
assigning 'this' to MC didn't help as it was still undefined inside
choicesLoaded. Calling it with a delegate allows you to call it in whatever
scope you like. In your example, you wouldn't even need to use MC after
using the delegate, because 'this' would then be in the scope you wanted -
the class, and not the XML object.

"You are storing a reference to the class itself. I usually call this
classRef." you are absolutaly right. and i see that is really funny :) i
mean using MC variable name :). actually when I since i have started to use
OOP and ActionScript that word has became a habit of me. I put it
automaticly untill you say that . thankyou very much

>MC = this;

Good to store a reference like this, but I see you're calling it MC,
probably for MovieClip - which it is not. You are storing a reference to the
class itself. I usually call this classRef.

Inside your choicesLoaded method MC is undefined because this method is
called in the scope of the XML object. That's where using a Delegate solves
your problem - which by your next email looks like you've already done. If
you need help, just say...

hi,

when XML file loaded, i dont understand onloaded function scope and i =
cant use scope what I want.
code below:=20

class VoteChoicesGroup extends MovieClip
{
private var choicesXML : XML;
function VoteChoicesGroup ()
{
MC =3D this;
choicesXML =3D new XML ();
choicesXML.onLoad =3D choicesLoaded;
choicesXML.ignoreWhite =3D true;
choicesXML.load ("XML/mainPageVoteChoices.xml");
}
=
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////=
//////
function choicesLoaded (success : Boolean) : Void
{
var choices : XMLNode =3D this ["childNodes"][0];
if (success)
{
MC.item0.assignTitle (choices.childNodes [0].firstChild)
trace ('MC: ' + MC)// this return as "undefined"

}
}
}

how can I reach top scope? I mean how can I see MC?

Note: I thought using AddEventListener...but i cant use it on XML =
class :)

regards
