exportItemXML not working (or I am using it wrong)?

[tomato 3 Likes (Newbie)]

I am trying to use "exportItemXML" with TM VERSION: 1.9669 – it is not working.

 

In a test project, I load in some movieClips and then call the trace statements below. The Console output is at bottom.

 

- the movieClips exist and are managed by my TransformManager instance

- the exportFullXML command works

 

Am I using "exportItemXML" wrong? Or is this a bug?

            trace("objects", manager.targetObjects);
            trace("xml?", manager.exportItemXML(manager.targetObjects[1]));
            trace("single object", manager.targetObjects[1]);
            trace("all xml", manager.exportFullXML());
            
            var xml:XML = manager.exportItemXML(manager.targetObjects[1]);
            trace("xml??", xml);

Console output

objects [object MovieClip],[object MovieClip],[object MovieClip]

OK -  was able to get a result using "toXMLString" – what I found off is that "exportFullXML" apparently returns a stringified version of the XML.

            var xml:XML = manager.exportItemXML(manager.targetObjects[1]);
            trace("xml??", xml.toXMLString());
