Great suggestion, Og2t. As of version 4.6, XMLParser will parse numbers as numbers, not strings.

Hey Jack! Your class is great! I was using Zeh Fernando’s XML2Object before but I think I’ll stick to yours from now on.

I thought about one little helpful feature though: while parsing XML document, you could change the type of the value/attribute to Number (instead of being String) when it seems to be numeric.

I found it useful while parsing XML data describing Tweens, using String type values didn’t work and it took me a while to figure it out why.

brice_m_g, from my testing, in order to get those special characters to show up inside Flash, you must:

1) Put this code on the first frame of your SWF: System.useCodepage = true;

2) Make sure those characters are embedded in the TextFields where you’ll use them.

Tilman, the static load() method returns an instance of the XMLParser class, and that’s what you can call cancel() on. So you could do:

var myXMLParser = XMLParser.load(”myXML.xml”, onFinish);

//Then, to cancel, you’d do:
myXMLParser.cancel();
