Scripting in AS2 is a hassle for sorting and node ordering because of it's limit of 256 loop branches or jumps per 'frame' of 'video' (fps). So, to get around that I just wrote a callback that freezes after counting how many branchings happened. I modulated the number until it always worked and it isn't perfect or incredibly fast like a compiled code module would be in C++ but it works, and you can see the inner workings of XML to an Object Model Node.

Here is the code for now:
loadXML2.as
XML Loader function
Code: Select all
//loadXML2.as by kristoffe brodeur
//v2.0 01-11-2007
//----------
function loadXML(lX_targetObj)
{
trace("[loadXML]("+lX_targetObj.filename+")");
lX_targetObj.onLoad=function(success)
{
//success is a binary function; positive on a good load
if(success)
{
tF_debug.text+="XML loaded.";
//this refers to the onLoad parent, dataXML, which is the actual XML data
//therefore, onLoad is just an attribute and fucntion of the main object dataXML
//tF_debug.text+=newline+"data:"+lX_targetObj;
lX_targetObj.loadAction();
}//if
}//f()
lX_targetObj.ignoreWhite=true;
lX_targetObj.load(lX_targetObj.filename);
}//f()Code: Select all
#include "../../../createMovieClip2.as"
#include "../../../loadXML2.as"
#include "../../../deepClone3.as"
#include "../../../DispTree.as"
//#include "../arrayFunctions.as" removed to get rid of unnecessary array functions

//10-27-2008 adding object->xml for output back to normal xml parsing and php output
//10-30-2008 added T1.AP['cn'] to list the child node XML nodes that a parent object would have, saves wasted looping later in conversion
