error while loading css

Any idea why this line of code here:

queue.append( new CSSLoader("xml/styles/styles.css", {name:"myCSS",onProgress:progressHandler}) );

 

would throw this error?

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::StyleSheet@261fd699 to XML.

 

If I comment this out, it works fine, but I'm trying to get a style sheet loaded into this project.

 

Thanks!

It sounds like there must be something else in your code that is causing the error - are you trying to cast the content to XML somewhere? Maybe in the onComplete handler of your queue? If you're still running into trouble, please create a simple FLA that demonstrates the problem and post it here along with a css file that your FLA is loading so that we can just publish the FLA and see the error for ourselves.

So after more looking into it I think my problem lies here:

 

var cssData:StyleSheet = LoaderMax.getContent("myCSS");

var sheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();

sheet.parseCSS(cssData.data);

trace(cssData.data);

//trace("css loaded");

brunchMenu.Menu_mc.content_mc.menuTxt.styleSheet = sheet;

 

As I am not sure how to attach the stylesheet to my text field once loaded....any help would be grateful!

 

Thanks

That didn't seem to work.

 

WIth the xml data I had to do this:

 

var xmlData:XML = LoaderMax.getContent("myXML");

brunchMenu.Menu_mc.content_mc.menuTxt.htmlText = xmlData.Brunch;

 

I had to type case the data into xml for it to be able to use it, do I have to do something similar with the css data?

 

Thanks for you help on this!

Here is the preloader code that I am using:

I altered it a bit so that I have a simple textfield on the stage(myTextField) and gets filled with some xml, and I am trying to apply a style sheet to that, figure start small and go from there, but even thats not working, I get the xml to show up, but it's not styled.

 

package com.main

{

import flash.display.*;

import com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.text.TextField;

import flash.text.StyleSheet;

import flash.events.Event;

import com.greensock.easing.*;

import com.greensock.*;

import com.greensock.plugins.*;

import com.greensock.layout.*;

import com.greensock.loading.*;

import com.greensock.loading.display.*;

 

public class Preloader extends MovieClip

{

var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax({name:"mainQueue",onComplete:completeHandler,onError:errorHandler});

var progressBar:MovieClip = new progBar_mc();

 

public function Preloader()

{

addChild(progressBar);

//starts the load for the XML

queue.append( new XMLLoader("xml/elReyMenus.xml", {name:"myXML",onProgress:progressHandler,onComplete:loadXml}) );

queue.append( new CSSLoader("xml/styles/styles.css", {name:"myCSS",onProgress:progressHandler}) );

//starts the load for the swf file, and adds it to this container

queue.append( new SWFLoader("elRey.swf", {onProgress:progressHandler,estimatedBytes:126000,container:this}) );

//loads the data

queue.load();

progressBar.loadText.text = "loading xml";

}

 

public function loadXml(event:LoaderEvent):void

{

progressBar.loadText.text = "loading data";

}

 

public function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void

{

//trace("progress: " + event.target.progress);

var perc:Number = event.target.bytesLoaded / event.target.bytesTotal;

progressBar.prog_txt.text = Math.ceil(perc * 100) + "%".toString();

progressBar.loadBar_mc.width = perc * 271;

}

 

public function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void

{

var xmlData:XML = LoaderMax.getContent("myXML");

myTextField.htmlText = xmlData.Brunch;

myTextField.styleSheet = LoaderMax.getContent("myCSS");

trace(event.target + " is complete!");

TweenLite.to(progressBar,2,{alpha:0});

}

 

public function errorHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void

{

trace("error occured with " + event.target + ": " + event.text);

}

}

}

CSS:

boldtitle

{

font-weight: bold;

display: inline;

font-size: 16px;

}

boldText

{

font-weight: bold;

display: inline;

}

smallText{

display: inline;

font-size: 11px;

}

 

XML:

</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><boldtitle>Soft Drinks</boldtitle></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><boldText>Agua Frescas</boldText></p><p>Tamarindo</p><p>Jamaica</p><p>Horchata</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><boldText>Jarritos</boldText></p><p>Pineapple</p><p>Grapefruit</p><p>Mandarin</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><boldText>Refrescos</boldText></p><p>Sidral Mundet Apple Soda</p><p>Mexican Coca-cola</p><p>
