[Xerte] Re: event failing on second call

[Paul Swanson]

Try parsing rawData:
 
rawInfoArray = rootIcon.rawData.split ('&'); // save string pairs into
an array
for (i=0; i<rawInfoArray.length; i++) { // break pairs into smaller
arrays and parse
  tempArray = rawInfoArray[i].split ('=');
  debug(tempArray[0] = ': ' + tempArray[1]);
}

I tried myIcon.readFile and that seems to be able to be called
repeatedly without issue.
Must just be something with loadVars.
Odd.

If you load a swf into a movieclip, you lose any custom methods /
properties of that clip after the load.
 
So you can do
 
mc.someFunction = function(){ //blah  }
mc.loadMovie('some.swf', blah)
 
and then in some.swf's timeline call this.somefunction. It doesn't
exist. Maybe I was thinking of that.
 
Not sure what's going with loadVars, I've never used them, but either
debug things in the engine, or send me a simple example and I'll see
what's happening.

The load wipes stuff out?
Is it true for all the methods of sending/loading external data?

I think its like loading XML where the load wipes out methods /
properties on the object.
 
Can you build a new icon for each load vars call?
 
i.e.
 
INT
  BUT
    TXT // a dummy loadVars 
   SCR //kick off the loadvars
 
    INT
      EVT
        //handle the loadvars

OK, here's the trace of 2 consecutive calls with
debug(rootIcon.loadVars);  

//first call
top debug //directly under button
[type Function]
load //directly under loadVars call
[type Function]
loaded //success
 
//second call
 
top debug
onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D&onData=%5Btype%20Function%5D&icon=%5Flevel0
%2Eengine%2EIFC
load
onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D&onData=%5Btype%20Function%5D&icon=%5Flevel0
%2Eengine%2EIFC
 
What is happening to the loadVars  function?

I click a button to pop up a scrolling text window which is populated
with a loadVars call to a text file.
 
rootIcon.loadVars('http://www.myserver.com/common/revisions.txt?nt=' +
(new Date()).getTime());
 
followed by an Event interaction
 
onLoadVars
rootIcon
 
 
It works the first time, but if I click the button again, the event will
not fire again.
I ran into this once before but can't remember what the issue was.
