fileOpen..

[pNine]

Hi guys i've been working in something and basically what im trying to do is make a new 'tranfer box' aka 'download box',

therefore i have to make my own download manager.

But i'm having some troubles with this, first i tried loading the map with the xmlLoadFile function but that also triggers the

download box, so i moved on to fileOpen.

  
  
local mapElement = createElement ( "map" ) 
  
local mapMeta = xmlLoadFile ( ":"..getResourceName(map).."/meta.xml" ) -- getting the map's meta in order to get its src 
local mapChild = xmlFindChild ( mapMeta, "map", 0 ) 
local mapSrc = xmlNodeGetAttribute ( mapChild, "src" ) 
local mapFile = fileOpen( ":"..getResourceName(map).."/"..mapSrc ) 
  
local newMapElement = loadMapData ( mapFile, mapElement ) --  
  

here's where im stuck at.. the first parameter must be a node and all i've got is a file.

any feedback will be apreciated :]

Of course, you have a file because you load it using fileOpen. Use xmlLoadFile to get the node instead.

Ye but if i use xmlLoadFile it will trigger the transfer box.. and the whole point is avoiding that.

Any thoughts ?

Anyone ? : )

All what xmlLoadFile does is loading the data from the file into memory. It doesn't do anything related to the data transfer.

You are right! What triggers the transfer box is the loadMapData. Is there any other function to do such thing, instead of getting all the nodes and its childs ?

I don't think there is, you'll most likely need to script a function to do it.
