I have a box in one state, I remove the box and then add another box.
I do this so when the box is complete, I have something to trigger
getting data from an xml file. (That doesn't seem right, is there a
better way to trigger a function on entering a State ? )
I'm testing the data in 2 ways, 1 works and the other doesn't.
the HTTPservice:
<mx:HTTPService id="bookData" url="../media/books.xml"
resultFormat="e4x" result="xmlObj = XML(bookData.lastResult)" />
When I send the service:
bookData.send();
the data is sent to this textArea
<mx:TextArea text="{xmlObj.toString()}"/>
So far so good, however, if I put this other test immediately after the
service call, I'm getting the dreaded NULL reference error.
trace(xmlObj.stock.(@id == "1").name);
Does this mean I need to check for load completion, like an event
listener on an UrlLoader ? (if so, How? )
The documentation seems to indicate it shouldn't be neccesary, so I'm
not even sure that's the problem
What's wrong ?
The xml is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
