XML menu tree

[Magdy]

Hi Flep!

After reading your tutorial about arrays and reading the multiple gallery xml Slideshow topic again, I begin to understand the need of arrays for this type of thing I want to do. Thank you very much for the help!

Now I have another doubt. Using your example with the multiple gallery xml Slideshow, in the end of the code, you trace two arrays:

trace(my_array[3][2]);

At this point, everything is fine!

Still using your example, If I try to trace this:

trace(my_array[i][j]);

I get a Value, still working!!
When I try to trace the same thing [i][j] using my xml code, the output show me undefined.

I'm posting my AS3 code and the xml code is the same as the first post:

var menuArray:Array = new Array();

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("arrays.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
    var xml:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
    var myXML:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
    myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    myXML.parseXML(xml.toXMLString());
    var node:XMLNode = myXML.firstChild;

    var itemArray:Array = new Array;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++)
    {
        itemArray.push(node.childNodes[i].attributes['NOME']);

        var itemSubArray:Array = new Array();
        var s:int = node.childNodes[i].childNodes.length;
        for (var j:int = 0; j < s; j++)
        {
            itemSubArray.push(node.childNodes[i].childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue);
        }
        menuArray.push(itemSubArray);
    }
    menuArray.push(itemArray);
    trace(menuArray[i][j]);
}

What is wrong? is the same as file, I only changed the array names.
If I trace this everything goes fine:

trace(my_array[3][2]);

By the way, I tried to add the top level menu itens and everything works fine, but I'm having problem to add the sub itens when the top level menu is clicked.

There's to many thing to understand...
Hope to get an answer from you soon!!!

Bye!!

Hi Magdy,

I have another sample for you. The topic is italian, but you can download the rar file in the last post and have a look at the code.

Otherwise, attach your files and I will have a look

Hi Flep!!

man I'm sorry, this is getting difficult to me...
I saw the code, from the other sample but it makes me more confused... there´s many arrays and pushes.

I want to learn by my self but it's hard... I don't want you to do for me.

I will try again at night, take a look at the other code again...
It's almost a week trying to understand this... hehehe
crazy stuff

Well that's it for now
Bye

Hi Flep!!

I'm still working with this menu tree (accordion menu)...
I want to know what to do... I think I need an if condition that will listen to what is clicked in the first top level so after the click it will show the proper sub item. Where to add this if condition? after the second for loop?
Where I add the button function?

The code:

var menuArray:Array = new Array();
var menuText:TextField;
var menuSubText:TextField = new TextField();

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("arrays.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
    var xml:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
    var myXML:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
    myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    myXML.parseXML(xml.toXMLString());
    var node:XMLNode = myXML.firstChild;

    var itemArray:Array = new Array();
    var firstNode:int = node.childNodes.length;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < firstNode; i++)
    {
        itemArray.push(node.childNodes[i].attributes['NOME']);
        menuText = new TextField();
        menuText.y = i * 20;
        menuText.text = itemArray[i];
        menuText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
        addChild(menuText);
        menuText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

        var itemSubArray:Array = new Array();
        var secondNode:int = node.childNodes[i].childNodes.length;
        for (var j:int = 0; j < secondNode; j++)
        {
            itemSubArray.push(node.childNodes[i].childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue);
        }
        menuArray.push(itemSubArray);
    }
    menuArray.push(itemArray);
    function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
        trace(menuArray[0][0]);
    }
}

Really need help on this!!
Thanks

    var xml:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
    var myXML:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
    myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
    myXML.parseXML(xml.toXMLString());
    var node:XMLNode = myXML.firstChild;

    var itemArray:Array = new Array();
    var firstNode:int = node.childNodes.length;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < firstNode; i++)
    {
        itemArray.push(node.childNodes[i].attributes['NOME']);
        menuText = new TextField();
        menuText.y = i * 20;
        menuText.text = itemArray[i];
        menuText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
        addChild(menuText);
