Loading xml in dynamic textfield

By Blade27 | Jan 11, 2009

Im struggling to load the text of this image in the textfield I placed on the stage with an instance name of "Sample". If I load it into as3 Textfield
eg var field: Textfield = new TextField; it works, but if I try to load it into a dynamic textfield on the stage it doesn’t work. Why?

here is my code and xml

ActionScript Code:


var loaders:Array = [];

var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
//var hover = xmlList.hover;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(“images5.xml”));
                                           
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
 function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
 {
    xml = XML(event.target.data);
    xmlList = xml.children();
   
    for(var i:int = 0; i<xmlList.length();i ++){
        imageLoader = new Loader();
       
        imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList[i].@src));

        imageLoader.y = 25;
        imageLoader.x = 25 + (i * 205)/2;
        imageLoader.scaleX = imageLoader.scaleY =.5
        addChild(imageLoader);
        loaders.push(imageLoader);
       
        imageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
        //imageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
       
    }
   
 }
 
 function onOver(event:MouseEvent):void{
    

     Sample.text = xmlList.hover[loaders.indexOf(event.target)];
   
   
        }

ActionScript Code:


<images>

    <image src=“images/Sunset.jpg”>
    <hover>
            <![CDATA[Hovering over <b>Toungue</b> smiley]]>
        </hover>
        <click>
            <![CDATA[<b>Toungue</b> smiley selected]]>
        </click>
    </image>
     <image src=“images/Winter.jpg”>
     <hover>
            <![CDATA[Hovering over <b>Toungue</b> smiley]]>
        </hover>
        <click>
            <![CDATA[<b>Toungue</b> smiley selected]]>
        </click>
     </image>
    <image src=“images/Waterlilies.jpg”>
    <hover>
            <![CDATA[Hovering over <b>Toungue</b> smiley]]>
        </hover>
        <click>
            <![CDATA[<b>Toungue</b> smiley selected]]>
        </click></image>
       
    <image src=“images/forest.jpg”><hover>
            <![CDATA[Hovering over <b>Toungue</b> smiley]]>
        </hover>
        <click>
            <![CDATA[<b>Toungue</b> smiley selected]]>
        </click></image>
    <image src=“images/Tree.jpg”>
    <hover>
            <![CDATA[Hovering over <b>Toungue</b> smiley]]>
        </hover>
        <click>
            <![CDATA[<b>Toungue</b> smiley selected]]>
        </click>
    </image>
</images>
