XML usage easly in AS2

[lipka]

Hi
There is simple way to use xml file ( with settings of your mod eg.).

First AS2 :

Code: [Select]

var NumOfWallpapers:Number;
var NumOfWidgets:Number;
var Name:String;
var Version:String;

Settings_xml = new XML();
Settings_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
Settings_xml.onLoad = function(sucess) {
        if (sucess) {
                Parsej(Settings_xml);
                trace('Name: ' + Name);
                trace('Version: ' + Version);
                trace('NumOfWallpapers: ' + NumOfWallpapers);
                trace('NumOfWidgets: ' + NumOfWidgets);
        }
};
Settings_xml.load('Settings.xml');
function Parsej(file_xml) {
        for (a in file_xml.firstChild.childNodes) {
                var headerXML = file_xml.firstChild.childNodes[a].nodeName;
                var contentXML = file_xml.firstChild.childNodes[a].childNodes[0];
               
                if(headerXML== 'NumOfWallpapers'){
                    NumOfWallpapers = contentXML;
                }
                if(headerXML == 'NumOfWidgets'){
                    NumOfWidgets = contentXML;
                }
                if(headerXML == 'Name'){
                    Name = contentXML;
                }
                if(headerXML == 'Version'){
                    Version = contentXML;
                }
        }
}
Settings.xml
:

Code: [Select]

<Settings.xml>
    <NumOfWallpapers>10</NumOfWallpapers>
    <Version>1.0</Version>
    <NumOfWidgets>25</NumOfWidgets>
    <Name>Lipka testing xml</Name>
</Settings.xml>

There is an easier way than this, it located nodes and stuff in an xml and doesn't require defining variables.

There is also loops, that fly through all the nodes and search for a certain attribute and attribute value, this is used in some of the popular themes like StarHero and MonteHero, and is easy to do once you get the grasp of it.
