[Xerte] Xerte3: Loading external data

[Julian Tenney]

I think you need to call iconID.load()?

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte3: Loading external data

There are a number of Data icons in Xerte3. As far as I can see
HTTPService is the only icon which is working at the moment. Can I use
this icon to load a XML file which is located in the same directory as
my Xerte piece?

I tried the following:
HTTPService, url = languages.xml
-- EventHandler "result", debug(event.target.data)
but nothing comes up.

Alternatively I tried to load it using a script icon:

import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
loader.load(new URLRequest("languages.xml"));
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
  xml = new XML(e.target.data);
  debug(xml);
}

This gives me: Parse Error: msg.no.paren.arg [line:5/k04]

Any ideas?

Peter
