xml tutorial

Could someone help for showing up some demonstration of XML?

kentkan Happy to help, but you need to tell us exactly what you're wanting to do with XML (and why JSON mightn't do it better).

I would like a capx file that showing me how to parse xml file with XPath syntax

hi, theres a decent xml tutorial here, its basically like any markup language, you just have to know the tags, xml is quite basic remember to open <xml> and close with </xml>, inside you can use whatever tags you like.

Since this topic, this cool tutorial about XML parsing in C2 with a nice and clear example and capx to download was posted.

where can i find the external xml file in the capx? where to save, and how to load it?

Still missing a complete tutorial for simple loading external text of an xml file into a textbox in c2.

xeed: You can get your XML string thanks to the AJAX plugin.

You might also want to check how to use project files in construct 2.

There's also an example of using the XML object in Construct 2's examples folder (in the install directory).

Thank you Ashley. But I am still confused...for the XML Object i need to enter the XML Data in the "load" window, right? So the XML Object is not to load XML Data, but kind of integrated XML Sheet in C2?

Kyatric: Is there any example for loading XML Sheets via Ajax? The documentation does not bring me forward in this case.

Many thanks :)

oading XML data

If you want to read an XML file stored with the project, import the XML file as a project file. Then you can use the AJAX object's Request project file action to download the file, and then load the result in to the XML object. The events below show how this can be done.

In the very documentation I linked about project files in C2.

many thanks for the help. i still can't get it to load.

where to store the external xml file? in the project folder it does not work for me. does it need to be on a http: adress? can it also be https, like dropbox?

and what happens if i dont enter a tag?

This thread was very useful! Loading a level from an xml file was a piece of cake.

All my level system will be stored as xml files :)

Every day learning how to do different things in Construct 2. Awesome work Scirra :)

Did you import your xml file to your project? Right click on the project explorers "Files" folder and choose import files.

Yes I have imported the xml file
