This is a website I am days away from delivering, and today I'm getting a crazy
problem.
The menu structure is loaded from an xml file. When I view this on the web, or
preview from Flash, the 5th item of the main menu doesn't display.
When I do "simulate download" after previewing it, the 5th item IS there!
What do you see? I've got fast broadband here, but surely it's not skipping over
a part of the file, the exact same part each time I load it??
This menu system has been working fine for over a week now...
Changing the order of the items in the xml file has no difference, it's always
the 5th item that wont display, not matter which of my items is in 5th place.
Here is the code to generate the menu items, of course it's looping through them
so all items are getting exactly the same instructions...
[code]
// build as many root menu items as listed in the xml
for (var i:Number = 0; i<as2obj.main.length; i++) {
tempLabel = as2obj.main[i].attributes.label.toLowerCase();
tempMC = mainMenu.attachMovie("menu_item", tempLabel,
mainMenu.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:550, _y:i*20+48});
tempMC.level = "main";
tempText = tempMC.createTextField("label_text", 1, 0, 0, 200, 20);
tempText._visible = false;
tempText.autoSize = "left";
tempText.text = tempLabel.toUpperCase();
tempText.antiAliasType = "advanced";
tempText.embedFonts = true;
tempText.selectable = false;
tempText.setTextFormat(menu_fmt);
tempText._visible = true;
trace("text: "+tempMC);
}[/code]
(Note, I am using Sephiroth's XML2Obj class to handle the parsing of the xml
file - as you can see it's reading everything else correctly)
The return from that trace statement is as you expect, it returns the correct
MC, so it's definitely being created.
Anyone got any ideas? I've been hammering away at this problem for about 4 hours
now :angry:
Flash 8 Pro, WinXP, published to AS2, Flash Player 8, same issue on Firefox and
IE.
XML file here http://fari.kentandangela.com/site_tree.xml
.swf here http://fari.kentandangela.com/fari.swf
ignoreWhitespace = true/false isn't making any difference.
Excuse the XML, it's my first, so it might not be structured correctly...
