hi jack.
thank you for sending your parser class along. it looks extremely useful but
it's not exactly what i'm looking for. what i need is some way of unit
testing the "loading" of a class that handles XML. i could make this part of
my functional test plan but my objective is to find out if i can unit test
it.
my constructor takes a string that is the location of an XML file. i want to
create a unit test case that will evaluate if a file location can be loaded
in. how do i create a handler for when the XML has completely loaded without
that handler being invoked as soon as the test is run?
thanks. -- matt.

You might want to check out my XMLParser class at
http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/XMLParser. I think it does what
you're
looking for. It's free. It works. It's served me well for at least a year.
Good luck.

hi.
i have a question on using asunit to test a class that loads XML.
i have a class that accepts a string in its constructor and i want to test
if it'll accept not just an http://myFileLocation.xml but also a file
location such as "/data/config.xml".
my question is how can i write my test with a handler for when the xml is
finished loading?
this is what i have right now:
class com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest extends
com.asunit.framework.TestCase {
private var className:String = "com.testsource.util.ConfigParserTest";
private var configParser:ConfigParser;
public function setUp():Void {
trace("setUp: " + setUp());
configParser = new ConfigParser("data/config.xml");
configParser.addEventListener("loadSuccess",
Delegate.create(this,testLoadFileLocation));
}
public function tearDown():Void {
trace("tearDown()");
delete configParser;
}
public function testLoadFileLocation():Void{
var size:Number = configParser.getLayerSetSize(); // this should return
the number 2.
trace("size: " + size);
assertEquals("example test", size, 2);
}
}
the problem here is that my test is run and testLoadFileLocation() is run
before my XML successfully loads. and by the time it does load, the
'configParser" object has been deleted by the tearDown() method.
so my traces come out looking like this:
setUp()
size: 0
tearDown()
size: undefined
any tips are greatly appreciated.
thanks. -- matt.
