I would love to make a wheel of fortune puzzleboard.

How can I make one? Should I use a text file or XML?

// the exact parsing depends on the structure of the loaded xml file.

I used the code above. Next I tried to use the URLLoader code, but when I tried it, nothing showed up.

Am I doing something wrong?

This is the code I'm using now...

var myXML:XML = new XML();
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("puzzle1.xml");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);

var myAnswers:Sprite = new Sprite;
myAnswers.name = "answers";
answers_mc.addChild(myAnswers);

var answers:XMLList = myXML.children();
var numAnswers:int = answers.length();
var i:int = 0;

for(i=0; i<numAnswers; i++){
var myAns:Answer = new Answer();
myAns.answer_txt = answers.attributes("name");
}
}

you probably want:

 

var myXML:XML = new XML();
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("puzzle1.xml");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{
myXML = XML(myLoader.data);

var myAnswers:Sprite = new Sprite;
myAnswers.name = "answers";
answers_mc.addChild(myAnswers);

var answers:XMLList = myXML.children()[0].children();
var numAnswers:int = answers.length();
var i:int = 0;

for(i=0; i<numAnswers; i++){
var myAns:Answer = new Answer();
myAns.answer_txt = answers[i]);
}
}

Now it's saying "A term is undefined and has no properties."

I think it has something to do with the XML document. What should I do now?

 

var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("puzzle.xml");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
var puzzle:XML;
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{
puzzle = XML(myLoader.data);

var myAnswers:Sprite = new Sprite;
myAnswers.name = "letters";
answers_mc.addChild(myAnswers);

var letters:XMLList = puzzle.children();
var numAnswers:int = letters.length();
var i:int = 0;

for(i=0; i<numAnswers; i++){
var myAns:Answer = new Answer();
myAns.answer_txt.text += letters[i].toString();
}
}

Well, I finally figured out a formula. How can I do the addChild effect?

 

var xmlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("puzzle.xml");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
var puzzle:XML;
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void{
puzzle = XML(e.target.data);
letter_txt.text = puzzle.item.answers.answer[0];
trace("Data loaded.");
}

 by the "addChild effect", do you mean you want to display all your answers in a separate textfield?:

do you have those textfields on stage or are you going to create them dynamically (by having a textfield in a movieclip and that movieclip has a linkage id)?

create a new movieclip with a textfield tf.  assign class name TF_MC.

 

var myXML: XML = new XML();
var myXMLURL: URLRequest = new URLRequest("puzzle1.xml");
var myLoader: URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(e: Event): void {
myXML = XML(e.target.data);

var answers: XMLList = myXML.children()[0].children();

var numAnswers: int = answers.length();
var i: int = 0;
var nextY = 0;

for(i = 0; i < numAnswers; i++) {
var tf_mc = new TF_MC();
addChild(tf_mc);
tf_mc.name = "tf_"+i;
tf_mc.tf.text = answers[i].toString();
tf_mc.x = 20
tf_mc.y = nextY;
nextY += tf_mc.height;

It worked! However, one only text box showed up.

var myXML: XML = new XML();
var myXMLURL: URLRequest = new URLRequest("puzzle.xml");
var myLoader: URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(e: Event): void {
myXML = XML(e.target.data);

var myAnswers:Sprite = new Sprite();
myAnswers.name = "answers";
answers_mc.addChild(myAnswers);

var answers: XMLList = myXML.children();
var numAnswers: int = answers.length();
var i: int = 0;

for(i = 0; i < numAnswers; i++) {
var myAns:Answer = new Answer();
myAnswers.addChild(myAns);
myAns.x = 300;
myAns.y = 400;
}
myAns.name = "text"+(i+1).toString();
}
