Lyrics from XML

[Woodpeckersam]

Hi there people how ya doing?

I am in need of a bit of help here.. i have asked on other forums for this sort of help, but noone seems to care or help.. and hope they can here :).

What i need is where a song is loaded, load lyrics into a text box.

Where you see the ///////////////// on the first code is the text box i want to load the lyrics..
problem is, when i try to load it.. it actually comes up with "Lyrics/FFRazor.txt" can someone help me figure out how to make this work.

The second code is the XML

The third code is the external class called "Song.as"

NOTE: earl actually means URL 😛 jus copied it from a tut.

Please help :)

thanks.

ps. Here is what it looks like

Is there supposed to be a "lyric" attribute in your XML file? You seem to be pushing it's value in to the array named "sa".

Your application is actually working correctly, not just how you want it to!

What's happening is you are trying to populate the lyrics text field with the text contained in the external file, but your xml attribute contains the ADDRESS of the file, not the CONTENTS of that file. The address of the file is being displayed.

You need to load the contents of the file each time you loop in your playsong() function. Here is a new version of that function below. I haven't tested it but if it doesn't work hopefully there is enough of a pointer for you to try a different direction!
