dynamic to load text & image from XML. How ?

[Guest]

Hello,

I have the code below to display some text and image on the screen how to modify the code to make it more dynamic:

var xmlData:XML = new XML(MovieClip(this.parent).xmlDocs[3]);
// Add Title
rssNews.rss1.title1.text = xmlData.news[0].title;
rssNews.rss2.title2.text = xmlData.news[1].title;
rssNews.rss3.title3.text = xmlData.news[2].title;
rssNews.rss4.title4.text = xmlData.news[3].title;
rssNews.rss5.title5.text = xmlData.news[4].title;
rssNews.rss6.title6.text = xmlData.news[5].title;
rssNews.rss7.title7.text = xmlData.news[6].title;
rssNews.rss8.title8.text = xmlData.news[7].title;
rssNews.rss9.title9.text = xmlData.news[8].title;
rssNews.rss10.title10.text = xmlData.news[9].title;
// Add Description
rssNews.rss1.text1.text = xmlData.news[0].description;
rssNews.rss2.text2.text = xmlData.news[1].description;
rssNews.rss3.text3.text = xmlData.news[2].description;
rssNews.rss4.text4.text = xmlData.news[3].description;

rssNews.rss6.text6.text = xmlData.news[5].description;
rssNews.rss7.text7.text = xmlData.news[6].description;
rssNews.rss8.text8.text = xmlData.news[7].description;
rssNews.rss9.text9.text = xmlData.news[8].description;

i don't see where you're displaying any of the loaded images and it's not clear how you want to do that.

i display it in a MovieClip name image1 which inside another MovieClip name rss1...

Ok, I have MovieClip with a name of "rssNews" which has another multi MovieClip named from "rss1" to "rss10". each one of this MovieClips "rss1" for example have 4 MovieClips inside it the firts is "title1" to display the title, the secound "text1" to display the description, the third "info1" to NavigateToURL & the last one "image1" to display the image...

Lets start with the display titles only using For statment

var xmlList:XMLList;

var xmlData:XML = new XML(MovieClip(this.parent).xmlDocs[3]);

xmlList = xmlData.news;

for each (var grade:XML in xmlList)

{

               rssNews.rss1.title1.text = xmlData.news[0].title;

}

How to do that same with each title or i have to use add rss1 to rss10 into array with the name of rss and do the same to title...?!

use:

var xmlList:XMLList;

var xmlData:XML = new XML(MovieClip(this.parent).xmlDocs[3]);

xmlList = xmlData.news;

for(var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length();i++)

{

               rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["title"+(i+1)].text = xmlList.title;

               rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["text"+(i+1)].text = xmlList.description;

rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)].loader=new Loader();  // if the compiler complains, cast rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)] as a movieclip.  ie:  MovieClip(rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)]).loader

rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)].loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList.url));

}

Thanks kglad, the Title & the description work fine but the image does not display at all.

like i mentioned in my first message, you're not displaying any images and it's not clear how you want to display them.  but if you want to display them all, just add the loader to the display list:

var xmlList:XMLList;

var xmlData:XML = new XML(MovieClip(this.parent).xmlDocs[3]);

xmlList = xmlData.news;

for(var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length();i++)

{

               rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["title"+(i+1)].text = xmlList.title;

               rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["text"+(i+1)].text = xmlList.description;

rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)].loader=new Loader();

addChild(rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)].loader);

rssNews["rss"+(i+1)]["image"+(i+1)].loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList.url));

}
