I am accessing an xml document in actionscript, I know flash can see the xml as I am tracing it but when I add the .text() funtion to my trace to strip out the tags by trace doesn't see anything.
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);ParseXML(xmlData);}function ParseXML(thexmlInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");trace("------------------------");trace(thexmlInput.wrapper.page);

View 10 Repliesi want to parse the web html to flex text field
to use string function splice etc. to replace tags with the one which text fields can understand but is it too complex and processing over head is there that reduces the efficiency but i have max control to do changes what i needed. parsing the html to xml and then use this as the text input to text field what about the efficiency and control need to know about from this question. regular expressions .
The goal is to being able to parse "<span style="color: #ff6600;">text</span>" that kind of tag, and apply styles from it. I know that TLF does not support CSS. I found in some example files for TLF a class that implements "IFormatResolver" and is doing its job in case of external CSS, but is there any clean way to parse style information that is inside (of tag)?

i have a large text file full of several chunks of binary data, each chunk separated by "---"
so it looks like this:
[Code]...
I have loaded the data in an untyped variable. var data:* = URLLoader(event.target).data; so data contains all the text file content. my problem is that i want to parse this text file and put each chunk of binary data into a ByteArray.
any ideas of how i can go about doing that? i have never dealt with untyped variables before so i am not sure what to do. and i don't want to lose the binary data representation by casting (if that happens).
Tag Team back again! I feel like I'm on the right track here, but I'm lacking some operative vocabulary along with a fundamental understanding of how this might work.

I have come across a bizarre Flash problem with dynamic text fields. I built a site in flash for a designer about a million years ago. The content in her portfolio's dynamic text fields loads from plain .txt files. The fields, which were set to parse simple html tags, used to do so perfectly. At least the last time I checked in April of 2006. The designer just contacted me last week: one of the fields is no longer parsing the html. ?! I opened the original .fla and it is definitely set to do so. Why would this suddenly stop working?[code]
View 3 RepliesI initialize the "point" object like:

this is working fine, But I have to initialize the "point" object with a string variable which holds the initialization properties like:

I know this is not working. Is there any method to initialize the object with a string variable which holds the initialization properties (without parsing the text) ?

This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.

I am attempting to parse some weather information from the Yahoo weather RSS feed.This is a typical XML node;
<description>Yahoo! Weather for Palm Springs, CA</description>
I used the typical XML parsing code in as2;
var text1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
txt1.text = text1;
I was doing pretty good until I reached a node that was formatted thus;
<yweather:forecast day="Mon" date="28 Sep 2009" low="74" high="103" text="Sunny" code="32" />
This text traced a value of undefined.I have tried to research this and so far all I have been able to find out, is that this is a XML namespace and is very easily handled in as3. Unfortunately I have to use as2.How do I parse out this information into a dyamic text fields?

I have an xml file and im putting this xml file in an XML object
var receivedXML:XML
In some function, I have:
var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList();
xmlList = receivedXML.some.attributes.here;
object.functionDoStuff = xmlList;
The function functionDoStuff takes xmlList as its argument:
function functionDoStuff(xmlList:XMLList) {}
When does receivedXML get parsed, is it when we assign it to xmlList, or is it when it gets used in the next instruction by the function functionDoStuff?
If I use the following XML it does not output anything. Please help me to find what is the issue.
