COD:

System.useCodepage = true;
cep.text=”";

function buscaCep(cepNm) {

var arquivo:XML = new XML();
arquivo.load(“http://cep.republicavirtual.com.br/web_cep.php?cep=”+cepNm+”&formato=xml”);

arquivo.ignoreWhite = true;

arquivo.onLoad = function() {

uf=this.childNodes[0].childNodes[2];
cidade=this.childNodes[0].childNodes[3];
bairro=this.childNodes[0].childNodes[4];
tipo_logradouro=this.childNodes[0].childNodes[5];
logradouro=this.childNodes[0].childNodes[6];

}

};

//nm.onKillFocus = buscaCep(cep);

cep.onKillFocus = function () {
if(this.text != “”){
buscaCep(this.text);
}
}

So just some feedback on your posting…

Learning ActionScript 3.0 – I’d have to agree that this seems to be a good book but, at my age, 60, I’ve been struggling with the whole of AS3 and have had to re-read parts of it several times. Nonetheless, this is the best resource I have on AS3.

Adobe’s ActionScript for Adobe Flash (Classroom in a book) is a much poorer offering. I went through this book, did all the tutorials but still couldn’t write the code I wanted.

Lynda.com. Lynda is OK with some very good analogies for describing functions, classes etc. but 2 things only give it average marks for me; like Classroom in a book, it didn’t really help me write the code I wanted and, I’m not anti american but after many hours of listening to the american accent it slightly put me off diving into the next chapter. Sorry about that.

Finally, I think that your final paragraph in your review is absolutely spot on, i.e. get on and write some code. Like learning to speak French, every tutorial I have done so far has helped me to do one thing, say, order a meal in a French restaurant but didn’t help me at all to, say, get my car fixed at a French garage. I was making little progress on understanding AS3 or my project until I actually started writing rubbish code and started to work out what was wrong with it.

Thanks so much.

thanks
