RE: FLASH: Reading data from the xml socket

[Jon Williams]

can you trace the doc that arrives w/o checking

if the nodename is "input" first? that might be

the source of trouble.

Subject: FLASH: Reading data from the xml socket



I connect:


       stop ();

       sock = new XMLSocket();

       sock.connect("something.com", 3742);


       function onSockConnect (success) {

          if (success) {

             gotoAndStop (4); //start communicating

          } else {

             gotoAndStop (3); //error screen

          }

       }

       sock.onConnect = onSockConnect;


I send:


on (release) {

	// Create XML to send

	tosend = new XML();

	updata = tosend.createElement("input");

	updata.attributes.text = input;

	tosend.appendChild(updata);

	sock.send(tosend);

}


... so far so good. I know this gets to the server. The server just

echoes it back. Now try to read the response which is supposed to be

hiding in the socket obect:


function showit(doc) {

         var e = doc.firstChild;

         if (e != null && e.nodeName == "input") {

                 displayMessage(e.attributes.text);

         }

}


function displayMessage(info)  {

	output = info;

}

  sock.onXML = showit;



Nothing.


Would be grateful to anyone with any ideas or who points out silly mistakes.


Regards,


Adrian
