Xml_onLoad

[srudin]

Hi
when coding inside the Xml.onLoad-function I don't seem to have access to the 'this'-object...
here's an example:

-----
oXml.onLoad = abc();

function abc(success){
trace(eval(this));
}
-----

the trace-function is returning an empty string...
am i doing something wrong...?!

thanks for any hints

Here is the "proper form" for do an XML onLoad:

myXML = new XML();
myXML.load("someXMLfile.xml"
myXML.onLoad = doSomething;
function doSomething(success){
if(success){
trace("The XML loaded!"
}else{
trace("XML did not load"
}
}

HTH,

Oh, I forgot to metion... you can't access "this" in your XML.onLoad() because in your example, there is no object for 'this' to reference. The 'success' argument that is generated and passed to the function you define for your onLoad is just a true/false boolean value, NOT an object. The onLoad does not pass the XML object to whatever function you define... just the true/false.

If you want to "view" your XML, which is what I *think* you are trying to do, you want to do is this:
--------

oXml = new XML();
oXml.load('whatever');
oXml.onLoad = abc();

function abc(success){

if(success){trace(oXml.firstChild);}
}
