I have a script that reads xy values in XML and creates 2 separate values with a substring command. It seems to read the first 4 results correctly, then all heck breaks loose. Even though I have 6 data points it shows the first 4 correct, then shows 2 more in the trace that don't exist in my XML. Here's the loop that reads the values form XML:
myVilla = new XML();
myVilla.ignoreWhite = true;
myVilla.onLoad = function(success) {
numimages = this.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<numimages; i++) {
this.picHolder = this.firstChild.childNodes[i];
this.thumbHolder = image_tn.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail"+i, i);
this.thumbHolder._x = Number(substring(this.picHolder.attributes.xy,0,4) );
this.thumbHolder._y = Number(substring(this.picHolder.attributes.xy,5,7) );
this.thumbLoader = this.thumbHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbnail_image", 0);
this.thumbLoader.attachMovie("Dot", "Dot"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(Number(substring(this.picHolder.attributes.x y,5,7)));
};
};
myVilla.load("myxml.xml");
Here's the XML:
<gallery>
<img xy="00000000" />
<img xy="03080580" />
<img xy="04200458" />
<img xy="03670595" />
<img xy="03600650" />
<img xy="03800605" />
</gallery>
And here are the trace results, which is the last 4 characters in the XML string converted into a number:
0
580
458
595
424 //should be 650
389 //should be 605 I'm not sure where it's getting the 424 and 389 since they aren't in my XML. Any ideas? This is VERY strange!

chnage your trace line to...
trace(substring(this.picHolder.attributes.xy,5,7)); then see what happens...also the xy had whitespace b/w them, but that wasn't the problem
