Does anybody know how to efficiently parse large (upto 3mb) of xml but not using Xpath. Loading in such large files is pretty quick but the parsing times out in Flash if you dont use setInterval. Using for loops on their own kills the resources as the XML node depth is 4 levels.
if anybody can help or make any suggestions will be most appreciated.
Thanks guys!
well, I use flash with databases but I haven't really dwelled in XML area before so I wouldn't know the complexity of the matter. But it's a general fact that loading such HUGE data would be faced with problems of timeouts.
What I could think is, splitting the XML data. the simplest idea.
Besides, how you are generating this XML file, I mean if it's generated dynamically? or is it a already made static file?
The XML is split to its lowest level - but there is just a lot of data. The XML is generated dynamically from a database. These XML files are then loaded into Flash. Basically I cant use a database as its meant to execute on an external hard drive with no access to server-side technology.
