Variable scope... Try declaring them *outside* the onLoad() function, because those variables conveniently drift out of scope (release themselves) as the code exits that function...
Hope this helps... -- Dok Skyymap Inc. 770.321.3967 Office 770.321.3454 Fax -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Flash guru Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 3:20 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] XML question Hey all, here's the code i'm working with: var main:XML = new XML(); main.ignoreWhite =true; main.onLoad =function(success:Boolean){ if (success) { var developers:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes; var siteUrl:Array = new Array(); var stanceUrl:Array = new Array(); var introUrl = new Array(); for (var i=0; i<developers.length; i++){ siteUrl.push(developers[i].attributes.site); stanceUrl.push(developers[i].attributes.stance); introUrl.push(developers[i].attributes.intro); } } else{ trace("xml not connected");} } main.load("main.xml"); The problem: Why can't access the arrays out side the onload function? I want the onload to just populate the arrays, so i can use their contents somewhere else. Is this an xml thing or am i doing something wrong. If i trace any of the arrays out side the onLoad function i get undefined. Fyi ~ i've already tried making the arrays global, no go that way. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
