Bgx Xml Serialization Classes (Flash MX 2004) : Basic deserialization example

Flash output

This example corresponds with the file XmlExample.fla that is supplied with the component. The following code loads the XML file sample.xml, parses it using the BgxDesObject class and then accesses some of the properties to populate a text box called tbxDisplay.

//import the class
import bgx.BgxDesObject;

//global variable to hold deserialized sample data
var SampleData:Object;

//load xml from external file
var sampleXML:XML = new XML();
sampleXML.ignoreWhite = true;
sampleXML.onLoad = parseSampleData;
sampleXML.load("sample.xml");

//parse sample data
function parseSampleData() {
    var rootNode:XMLNode = sampleXML.firstChild;
    SampleData = new BgxDesObject();
    SampleData.xmlNode = rootNode;
    SampleData.onParsed = setDisplay;
    SampleData.parse();
}

function setDisplay(){
    //get the site name
    tbxDisplay.text = "Site name: " + SampleData.label + "\n\n";
    //get first level folders
    tbxDisplay.text += "First level folders:\n";
    for (var i = 0; i < SampleData.folder.length; i++)
    {
        tbxDisplay.text += " " + SampleData.folder[i].label + "\n";
    }
    //get the description from the bgx:comment element
    tbxDisplay.text += "\nComment:\n";
    tbxDisplay.text += SampleData.bgx_cln_comment[0].description + "\n";
    //get the namespace declaration from the root element
    tbxDisplay.text += "\nCustom namespace:\n";
    tbxDisplay.text += SampleData.xmlns_cln_bgx + "\n";
    //display text from the exampleNode text node
    tbxDisplay.text += "\nText node example:\n";
    tbxDisplay.text += SampleData.exampleNode[0].nodeText;
}
