RE: [Flashcoders] Recursive and e:Event

Far better to separate the event handling from the recursion altogether.   In the event handler get the XML, then pass it to the recursive routine. Don't pass an event to the recursive routine, pass the data/XML.   Generally with recursive code, when you run out of arguments to pass, you stop calli

The problem is that the function is taking too long to do that... like I have: function buildXML(_xml:*):void { . . buildXML(ixml); trace(""); } trace("here"); and it traces to: here --- --- -

They are. In FDT, with the caret on a method/property/reference, F3 takes you to the definition. F4 in a reference takes you straight to the class. The ctrl+cursor thing also works, but in all honesty I seldom use it. Back to the last edited location is ctrl+q. Zeh On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 9:23 A
