Example
The following example is a very small XML file that I wrote so that we could spend our time parsing it with XPath:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <root> <node att="a0">0</node> <node att="a1">1</node> <node att="a2">2</node> <node att="a3">3</node> </root>
Before we start parsing this XML, we need to create a Flash file that will import the XPathAPI class and load the XML. Once you have a Flash movie created, write the following code:
import mx.xpath.XPathAPI;
var xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.load("test.xml");
xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
if(success)
{
// This is where the code will go when you test the samples
}
else
{
trace("Error loading XML");
}
}
Now that we have the code in place, we can start parsing with the XPathAPI. Let’s get started!
