problem displaying xml field on stage

where's your group.xml file?

learn to use the trace() function. in your loadXML() function see what you get when you use trace(xmlNode).

I am trying to load an XML file, too. I did not get an error on the URL, but when I did a trace on the data, I found that my data wasn't being loaded into my variable.

So, are you sure the data is getting loaded into aImage ?

Here's the essence of my code. The "output" shows that the file is opened and the returned .length is correct.
But it isn't retrieving the data. I have tried changing the number of "childNodes" and giving them different "offsetss"

I just can't figure out what is wrong.

//Program to retrieve and play requested songs
//
stop();
soundList = new XML();
soundList.ignoreWhite = true;
trace("line6");
soundList.onLoad = function() {
i = 0;
trace("there");
trace(soundList.firstChild.childNodes.length);
_global.tryNo = soundList.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes[0].attributes.tryNo;
trace(_global.tryNo);
trace("here we are");
};
//load the xml file to trigger functions
soundList.load("soundList.xml");

Here's my XML file
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<sounds>
<attempts tryNo="0" kindOSound="commercials">
<sound soundTitle="Waterworld " file="Commercials/Waterworld.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="Cereal " file="Commercials/cereal.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="Cliffbar " file="Commercials/Cliffbar.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="realtor " file="Commercials/realtor.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="restaurant " file="Commercials/restaurant.mp3"/>
</attempts>

<attempts tryNo="1" kindOSound="Squirrel Mitzvah">
<sound soundTitle="Frankie " file="Characters/Frankie.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="Gramps " file="Characters/Gramps.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="Amy " file="Characters/Amy.mp3"/>
<sound soundTitle="Lulubong " file="Characters/04_sisters.mp3"/>
</attempts>
</sounds>

I think your trying to pull your xml from a folder ("xml/group.xml"),
here in your example, it's in the root with all the rest.

Have you tried getting rid of xml/ ?

look, to track the error start at the beginning. is the xml file being loaded correctly?

if you do a simple trace(xmlNode) in loadXML() you'll see nonsense. so, then you would go and look at the xml file and you see.. . nonsense. what are all those dashes supposed to be doing? that's not a properly formed xml file. fix it and retry.

just remove those dashes that are outside of your tags.

what do you expect your latest linked file to do that it fails to do?

there's no code in the latest link that attempts to upload anything.

but in general you should again use the trace() function to see if the file you think you are trying to upload (imag100.jpg) is the value of the variable that you're using in your loadMovie() or loadClip() statement.

you need some code to load your images. if your images have file names, image100.jpg, image200.jpg etc, you can use:

all i gave was sample code for your loadXML() function. you'll still need to create your xml object and load your xml file and define your xml onLoad() handler.
