AS3 :: CS3 : Count XML Attributes At Runtime?
May 27, 2009
After loading the following XML file, is there a way to count the number of attributes of the "question" node, and if possible, the number of items having the word "answer" in them? (in this case 4 should be returned, ie. answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<quiz>
<question text="The man went ___ the morning." answer1="at" answer2="on" answer3="in" answer4="out" correct="in" />
</quiz>

I want to pass an optional data parameter to some callbacks, but only to callbacks that support a single parameter; right now, I have a moderately-sized code base of callbacks that cannot accept a parameter at all. How can I check what parameters a Function object supports?

I'm trying to make a volume button for my site and it looks something like this:
- ||||| +
i want the volume bar to start filled and when the user hits the minus button it lowers the volume and when it hit plus it takes the volume up well when I go down and up the volume bars start to get crazy...it just works when I go down the whole way and after it goes up the whole way, when I change direction on the midle of the path it jumps some bars...
Code:
volDown.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menosVol);
volUp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, maisVol);
var cliques:uint = 0
if (cliques == 7){

I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]
This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c
Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.

I've found a simple count up script over on Actionscript.org
var count:Number = 0;
var maxNum:Number = 1250;
var num:Number = 1;
this.createTextField("txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 50);
[code]....
This works great for my use, but now I am trying to figure out how to make it count down. I've tried changing everything to opposites like count=1250 and maxNum=0 (I think this would be the minNum instead), count+=num to count-=num, and count>=maxNum to count<=maxNum.

Is it possible to make a count up timer (from a specific date, birthday for exemple) from the count down timer ?
I've tried to change a few things (I'm very bad in programming) but I can't get the date properly.
If not, do somebody know a count up timer (.fla) that I can use ?

I've seen the Loom project, but are there any alternatives that are more mature (and actively developed)? I am looking for something that would allow load-time weaving of pointcuts into existing binary code at runtime with the AVM2 runtime.
Has any work been done in this area?

I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")

Whenever I link a set of movieclips together with the bone tool which are inside a containing movieclip, and also set the type to "runtime" instead of "authortime", I get this error when published.
"Runtime symbols with skewed matrices should be wrapped in a movie clip" What does it mean? I need the type to be set to runtime so I can use scripting with it..

How do I get all the attributes that exist on a XML node? For example, I have the following XML:
<item id="100">
<defaults width="10" height="100" post="true">
</item>
I would like to get the names and values on the defaults node.
Here is some starter code:
if (item.defaults) {
var attributes:Object = item.defaults.@*; // found in another post
for each (var value:String in attributes) {

Is there anyway to get the number of attributes an xml node has.
I'm just not fond of the way you have to loop through an xml node ala [URL]
for (attr in this.childNodes[i].attributes) {
...
}
Is there nothing like childNodes[i].attributes.length?

In my project I have some xml I've embedded and am now parsing.
Here's an example of xml I have.
HTML Code:
<use>
<player>
<add var="health">2</add>
[Code].....
I guess I could just change the names of them in my XML but their must be a workaround. I could potentially not have control over the file and then I'd be screwed.

My XML looks like this...
<feature title="This is my /n features title"/>
I don't have access to change the schema.
In Flash I load the text content of the title attribute into a text field, problem is -- the prints instead of operating as a carriage return (new line).
Again, no access to the XML so changing the TextField to htmlText and adding a <br/> tag wont work.

When I try to load in my xml attributes it loads in all the attribures for that node not just the Title Or Description. How do I get it to just load the Title.
Code:

loader.load(new URLRequest("2152.xml"));

Is there a way to find an XML element by values of two attributes (XPath or whatever?)?
I would prefer not to loop through the result of one of the attributes search, because XML is huge and its processing is already slow.
Example:
myFeature = _contextXML.namespace::row.((@modelName==var1) AND (@featureTitle==var2))..@featureDescription;

I was trying to use default xml namespaces, but came upon something strange.
I got the following piece of xml:
<animal type="sheep" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>josh</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>
[Code].....
now for some reason, the elements are correctly traversed using the default namespace. But the attribute isn't found. After a bit of debugging, I found that I could only retrieve the attribute when using xml.animal.attribute(new QName("", "type")). Why isn't the attribute in the same default namespace as the element?

There are dashes in attributes of an xml, and I don't know how to filter them: Here you can see a simple example of the xml:
<posts>
<post>
<photo-url max-width="1280">http://blabla.tumblr.com/photo/98</photo-url>
</post>
</posts>
Because also the photo-url-tag has a dash, I needed to parse it with ...child("photo-url"). This worked fine, but if I want to filter these tags(photo-url), in order to receive all photo-url's with the same attribute: "max-widht='1280'", I couldn't manage to do so. I tried this approach:
var photoUrl:XMLList = xml.posts.post.child("photo-url").(@max-width==1280);
I get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @max is not defined.

I've tried many different ways of accessing the name of an attribute, but just can't get it working.The current Function:
protected function applyProperties(_axml:XML):void
{
var list:XMLList = _axml.properties;[code]...........
I have tried the name, I've tried searching it as an Object, I looked for solutions on stackoverflow.. nothing has worked for me so far. Originally I had the properties node as such: fearing that Flash was interpretting incorrectly.
edit: It seems like the XML was interpretted rather than printed out..

Ive been asked to research the relationships between classes but having trouble understanding it.
Within my code, the class A creates an instance of class B inside it, storing the instantiated B in a variable in class A so that class A can access data members (attributes) and methods from class B.
How could I create a link in B so that it can also access information about class A?
