Convert XML string to code

Hi,

I want users to be able to select the easing type of a tween via xml. For example “Regular.easeOut”. How can I parse the string to a regular expression so it can be recognised by flash?

Thanks

eval(“Regular.easeOut”)

gives me an undefined…

I tried it. It works. Use eval(“text” )

var easing = eval(XMLdaten_easing[p]);
trace(easing);

= undefined!

var easing = XMLdaten_easing[p]; easing = eval(easing );

Use the code above. You wrote it before giving text value.

Did exactly as you said… Still not working.

var easing = XMLdaten_easing[p];
easing = eval(easing);
trace(easing);

Have you tried making it a var first and then eval?

var easing = XMLdaten_easing[p];

myEase = eval(easing);

????

You could write an else if statement to construct what you need.

var easing = XMLdaten_easing[p];

Split it at the dot

mySplit = easing.split(”.”);

then check the first part of the mySplit

if(mySplit⁰==”Regular”){

construct what you need

} else etc

Then check the second. Bit more work involved and my coding could be off, but it’s an option.

Trace parameter can’t be not understand it. Because, your text changes to Easing object. Try it on the tween method. It works so.
