    text
    copied!<p>I'm currently making a high scores table, and one of the high score tables is for a spelling quiz.</p> <p>I have a local file called <code>highscores.xml</code>, which looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;highscores&gt; &lt;spelling&gt; &lt;first&gt;0&lt;/first&gt; &lt;second&gt;0&lt;/second&gt; &lt;third&gt;0&lt;/third&gt; &lt;fourth&gt;0&lt;/fourth&gt; &lt;fifth&gt;0&lt;/fifth&gt; &lt;/spelling&gt; &lt;/highscores&gt; </code></pre> <p>and this is AS3 function that runs after I load the <code>highscores.xml</code> file:</p> <pre><code>function highScoresLoaded(e:Event) { highScoresXML = new XML(urlLoader.data); highScoresArray = new Array(); highScoresArray.push(highScoresXML.spelling.first); highScoresArray.push(highScoresXML.spelling.second); highScoresArray.push(highScoresXML.spelling.third); highScoresArray.push(highScoresXML.spelling.fourth); highScoresArray.push(highScoresXML.spelling.fifth); highScoresArray.push(points); highScoresArray = highScoresArray.sort(Array.DESCENDING); highScoresArray.pop(); firstScoreTXT.text = highScoresArray[0]; secondScoreTXT.text = highScoresArray[1]; thirdScoreTXT.text = highScoresArray[2]; fourthScoreTXT.text = highScoresArray[3]; fifthScoreTXT.text = highScoresArray[4]; highScoresXML.spelling.first = highScoresArray[0]; highScoresXML.spelling.second = highScoresArray[1]; highScoresXML.spelling.third = highScoresArray[2]; highScoresXML.spelling.fourth = highScoresArray[3]; highScoresXML.spelling.fifth = highScoresArray[4]; trace(highScoresXML); } </code></pre> <p>but the trace output at the end of a function goes like this(I've just scored 4250 on the quiz):</p> <pre><code>&lt;highscores&gt; &lt;spelling&gt; &lt;first&gt;4250&lt;/first&gt; &lt;second&gt;0&lt;/second&gt; &lt;third&gt;0&lt;/third&gt; &lt;first&gt;4250&lt;/first&gt; &lt;fifth&gt;0&lt;/fifth&gt; &lt;/spelling&gt; &lt;/highscores&gt; </code></pre> <p>When I delete this line it works fine:</p> <pre><code>highScoresXML.spelling.fourth = highScoresArray[3]; </code></pre> <p>I'm not that good at programming and can't seem to figure it out.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
