(SOLVED)Creating an XML document

(TaylorAnderson) #1

Hey guys. I’m working on a game that requires a lot of dialogue so I thought I’d try to set up an XML document so I can write in and access messages and responses easily. I’ve never created my own XML before, but I’ve been working with Ogmo for a while so I have a basic idea of how to manipulate them. However, the XML document I made with XML NotePad 2007 gets syntax errors for each and every line that I don’t know how to solve. The document is here:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Conversations>
  <Message Content="This is a test message.">
    <Response1 Content="This is a test response 1" Value="0" />
    <Response2 Content="This is a test response 2." Value="1" />
    <Response3 Content="This is a test response 3." Value="2" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="This is test message 2">
    <Response1 Content="This is the first response." Value="0" />
    <Response2 Content="This is the second response" Value="1" />
    <Response3 Content="This is the third response" Value="2" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />
  </Message>
  <Message Content="">
    <Response1 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />

    <Response2 Content="" Value="" />
    <Response3 Content="" Value="" />

It’s just a framework right now,but pretty well all of those lines are bringing up syntax errors in FlashDevelop.

What do you mean they were “bringing up syntax errors in FlashDevelop?” Have you tried using the XML in Flash yet?

(TaylorAnderson) #3

Oh, yeah probably should have mentioned that :P. I basically stripped all code out of it, just left enough to reference the XML

public function GameWorld() 
{
	add(playerManager)
	add(charManager);
	add(gameManager);
	LoadConvoXML(Assets.CONVOXML)
}

public function LoadConvoXML(xml:Class):void
{
	var convoXml:XML = FP.getXML(xml);
	
}

Only two things I can think of (your XML validated just fine when I ran a validator):

  1. Is Assets.CONVOXML set properly?
  2. Did you remember to declare mimeType="application/octet-stream" in your Embed for Assets.CONVOXML?

EDIT: another possible problem would be if playerManager, charManager, and/or gameManager are not set properly or if their respective classes have bugs or throw errors.

Telling us specifically which syntax errors you are receiving would help a lot.

Ahh, I did not set mimeType=“application/octet-stream” before, but now that I have I seem to be getting no errors. Thanks a lot!
