My ultimate goal is to take an xaml file with a musical score and convert it to flex, but to start with I've hardcoded a score (or rather some score elements) in an actionscript class and I'm trying to call it from my main application file. When I debug I can see that it does get called, however nothing gets drawn on screen. I first did the hardcoded score in a project on its own, so I know that the score should be able to be displayed. Here's the code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="absolute" initialize="initializeHandler()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import test.DrawNotes; public var myXmlList:XMLList; private function initializeHandler():void { myXmlList = scoreXml.children(); // loop through the xml here and call the relevant functions in DrawNotes var notes:DrawNotes = new DrawNotes(); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:XML id="scoreXml" source="scoreCanvas.xml" /> </mx:Application> Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks, Annelie
