  XML Parsing problem (with XML Object)

  Posted by Tomasz Tejchman on July 16, 2012 at 10:35 am

  Hi there!

  I need to parse GPX data to create a new composition. It’s actually just a XML file with GPS data.

  Here is an example how I create XML object:

  var myFile = File.openDialog("Choose GPX file","*.*");

  function readXMLFile(file) {
  if (!file.exists) {
  throw "Cannot find file: " + deodeURI(file.absoluteURI);
  }
  file.encoding = "UTF8";
  file.lineFeed = "unix";
  file.open("r", "TEXT", "????");
  var str = file.read();
  file.close();
  return new XML(str);
  };

  var ch = readXMLFile(myFile);

  ch return whole XML file and it’s OK. Unfortunately when I try to retrieve a children nodes it returns nothing.

  Below is my XML file.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


  I found there is an elements() function but it works strange.
