Thanks Vaibhav and Andrea for your suggestions.
Andrea : You suggestion looks working , But got in one more problem . Could
you please help me ?
If I call SingletonXML.getInstance().data; It is returning Null because the
of getResult() is returning the data later . Since the calls are
asynchronous get Data() is getting called first and then getResult().
I checked the event data and data is there in the event .
I came into this problem because of "<XML source = "is crashing my IE7,
Otherwise I could have done it using XML tag instead HTTPService ( for local
data I am using HTTPService ) . Please see the code below.
package Components
{
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
public class SingletonXML
{
private static var _instance: SingletonXML;
private var _data:XMLList;
public function SingletonXML() {
if (_instance != null)
trace("Constructor shouldn't be called directly...
now I'll have to kill you")
_instance = this;
this.initData();
}
private function initData():void {
var service:HTTPService =new HTTPService();
service.url="Components/StudentData.xml";
service.resultFormat="e4x";
service.addEventListener("result", getResult);
service.send();
}
private function onDataLoaded():void {
//Store data
//this._data = [loaded data];
}
private function getResult(event:ResultEvent):void{
Alert.show("this is in get result");
_data=XMLList(event.result.Country);
}
public static function getInstance():SingletonXML{
if (! _instance)
_instance = new SingletonXML();
return _instance;
}
public function get data():XMLList {
Alert.show("this is in get data");
return this._data;
}
}
}
