setXML() generates error message
(2008-04-02 - views: 1272)
Q: When I try to assign using the setXML method a XML object generated by code, there's an error message in the Output Panel and the menu doesn't show up:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
at com.jumpeye.menu::JDropDownMainMenuV3/setXML()
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/cbMenu()
at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
How can I assign a XML object to the drop down menu ?

How can I assign a XML object to the drop down menu ?
A: The workaround for this problem is to create a child object just before you use the setXML() method. Usually this is only necessary when populating the menu with items for the first time, but it's ok if it gets called each time.
// Import the class for the child object.
import com.jumpeye.menu.JDropDownMenu;
// Create the XML object.
var xmlData:XML = <component
....
</component>;
// This is the workaround for the problem.
// "mainMenu" is the instance name of the menu.
if (mainMenu.child == null) {
mainMenu.child = new JDropDownMenu();
mainMenu.addChild(mainMenu.child);
}
// Now, you can call the setXML method.
mainMenu.setXML(componentV3);
// Import the class for the child object.
import com.jumpeye.menu.JDropDownMenu;
// Create the XML object.
var xmlData:XML = <component
....
</component>;
// This is the workaround for the problem.
// "mainMenu" is the instance name of the menu.
if (mainMenu.child == null) {
mainMenu.child = new JDropDownMenu();
mainMenu.addChild(mainMenu.child);
}
// Now, you can call the setXML method.
mainMenu.setXML(componentV3);

embedding fonts in as3
Embedding fonts in AS3 is similar to AS2, except that in AS3 you need to specify a class name instead of a linkage id. But the class name in AS3 is the same as the linkage id in AS2.
