Publish XML Tree for ns Video
by jhunyadi on Sep 5, 2006 at 6:17:38 pm

Hi - many thanks to Lee and Todd for the start...

I've been looking for answers to posts about how to get xml to work once published, but I haven't seen a response. So here's the situation:

Created "tree.xml" with this code //
-------------------------------
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function() {
theTree.dataProvider = this.firstChild;

//FIRST PLAY

ns.play(theTree.getItemAt(0).attributes.url);
theTree.selectedIndex = 0;
}

xml.load("tree.xml"); //or xml.load("http://www. --- .com/mediaplayer/tree.xml");
-----------------------------
Relative and absolute paths for the tree both seem to work in Publish Preview. The tree populates and the videos play. Then I publish and upload everything to the server, and the swf is fine, but the tree component is empty. Is there an xml trick I have missed? Something on the server side? Or possibly a header on the xml file?

Thanks!

Joshua

check it out... it is for a local school system... I ftp uploaded on the back of our radio station site for testing.

I think the problem is with the tree component itself, not the xml.
Is there a checklist to use when utilizing a component? Like do I have to select "export for runtime sharing"?

See anything wrong with the swf or xml?

I'm just a video guy trying to help a non-flash web developer- I use flash just for animations.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
