ActionScript 1/2 :: Getting Inside Others XML Nodes Programmatically, Based On A Single Known Node?
Jan 16, 2010
I have an array being generated with numbers from an XML file. Then I have the function 'maxF' that returns the maximum number inside that array. I need to get programaticaly other nodes inside the same XML file [where all these numbers are coming from] to print the date [which is a node on top of the number node]
var a:Array = []; for (var i = 1; i<=15; i++) { var RootNode = getXml.firstChild; eval("price"+i).htmlText = ""+RootNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[4].childNodes[2].firstChild+"
I want flash to return all the attributes from each node, including the node number. EG: trace(xmlObj.firstChild.childNodes.currentNode);Chicago would be 0 and new York XML:
I have this loop code that counts up the XML nodes and creates menu items for each node, that was taken from a tutorial. How can I have it so after 10 nodes it creates a new column setting them side by side? Moving them say 100px on the x axis? Here is the 1st part of the code done by a friend:
I get no problems when the number of item returned is more than 1. But when it's only 1 item I get an error cannot convert XMLList to mx.collections.IList. I tried different solutions including trying to cast it as XMLListCollection but it still gives an error for single items. Does anyone know of a way to possibly solve this?
i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code: myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider?
I have been able to successfully build an xml video player that can play videos that all have a unique description attribute but I would like to have the user click on a title and it play through multiple videos while that one title is highlighted. Here is the code that I have so far:
var xml:XML = new XML(); xml.ignoreWhite = true; xml.onLoad = function() {
i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error. My test show that XMLListCollection does NOT work either.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code:
myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider?
code:
[Bindable] private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection(); private function getList(e:Event):void{ var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
I've got a section in my code where I am trying to pull up a particular xml node based on an id value I have. When I try to pull it up via the method shown the code stops executing at that point. In other words, the "got here" is traced but neither of the two lines after it or any code below that point in the function seem to get executed. If I take that line out the code executes just fine. I'm using this same xml object in many places and the xml data is fine it is just when I try to use this syntax that it gets confused.
I'm also a bit confused as to why the code just stops. I realize that flash doesn't generally display errors at runtime, but if it doesn't show up as a compile error or warning what is the best way to avoid the code hang up? Also is this the correct way to access the node? I actually am trying to retrieve the team attribute on the same node with an id that I'm using in the xml search query. Should playXML.players.(@id == '18431').@team get me that value? It seems to cause the same behavior any time I try to use that syntax even with other attributes from the player nodes and if I use something like playXML.players.@id it returns all the nodes id attributes.
Edit:I dropped a try/catch statement around this block and that solves the code execution issue but I still can't access the node I want with a given id using the playXML.players.(@id == '18431') style syntax.
In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:
And behind the scene what it is asking that you instantiate a class as such: new Source("blooper", new Exp(4), new Erlang(4,6); The problem lies in the fact that you don't know what class you will need to processing, and you will be sent a list of these class definitions with instructions on how they can be linked to each other. I've heard that using a BeanFactoryPostProcessor might be helpful, or a property editor/convertor. However I am at a loss as to how best to use them to solve my problem.
[code]I am trying to define a DataGrid such that the row nodes will represent new rows in the DataGrid and the column nodes will be used to auto-populate the DataGrid's columns. I am having a problem setting the dataField for each of the DataGridColumn ojects created.The DataGrid is created but the cell values for row 1 are all 0.51 and row 2 are 0.61.
I need accessing a value in my arrayCollection in Flex 3. var f:String; I need to access the photoFilePath where series = f. So if f=2, then I need /pics/my2.png So, pseudo code: myAc.(series="f").photoFilePath <mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC"> <mx:Object label="Label 1" series="1" photoFilePath="/pics/my1.png" pageTitle="First"/> <mx:Object label="Label 2" series="2" photoFilePath="/pics/my2.png" pageTitle="Second"/> </mx:ArrayCollection>
Is there a way to have a pre-loader based on a single movie clip, instead of on the entire SWF size? This movie clip may have a single graphic, but the entire movie has a slideshow with more images to display...but rather than making my visitor wait for the entire site to download before they see anything, I'd like to have it so when that graphic is loaded, it displays while the rest of the movie finishes loading. And there would be a preloader that shows the progression of the single movie clip.
Is there any opensourse, free set of components for creating Flex mxml graphs? like aviary Peacock style ones with at least Drag, drop, and connect generators so each graph element could have or something like that. Framework should be opensource (like GPL, LGPL etc) BTW: I found one wary bacic made by Erno Aapa with Degrafa but I would really love to see something much more Flex 4 - mxml oriented and frienfdly.
And , as u can probably see, it's a menu with 3 buttons, and the middle one is supposed to have a submenu.I am looping through the menu items and it displays everything alright:
ActionScript Code: var xml:XML = new XML(); var total:Number;[code]..........
What i can't figure out is the piece of code needed to count the nodes inside the <item> tag.
I have a multidimensional array based data and i'm pretty confused in bringing it to simple linear array. I know it requires some for in loop to set property and its value and some nested looping but i lost in the half way.
I have a Tree Control inside my Flex Application which I want to edit on a doubleclick on a tree item. I found the properties doubleClickEnabled= "true", doubleClick="startEditMode()", and editable="true". With these functions I can detect a double click and I can change the editable property to true based on a double click. The problem is that after I double clicked on a Item i have to click once more to really enter the edit mode. That doesn't seem to be intuitive at all..
If myXML.person.length() gives me the number of person nodes in my XML file, then how do I count the number of elements inside each person node if each one has a different name (such as address,zip, etc.)?
i am loading an XML, inside it there is a node like this "<yweather:forecast day="Thu" date="11 Feb 2010" low="16" high="27" text="Partly Cloudy" code="30" />" and i need to load it but when i type "_xmlData.channel.item.yweather:forecast" being _xmlData my XML var it says that there is a problem because of the ":", and i don't know what to do to load it.
How can I from AS make this Code: <match_statistics version="1.0" 01_06_2010 16:48> Looks like this? Code: <match_statistics version="1.0"> Just delete the 01_06_2010 16:48 part.
I'm trying to create a loop which generates a single series of sine results ranging from 0 to 1 based on 100 loops ( ie 0 ,0.011 ,0.1111........up to 1 in a single run)The results I want start at 0 and increment in a series up to 1 and then stop. I suppose this would be one half of a sine wave I have tried the following but it goes from 0 to 1 ,1 to 0 , 0 to 1 etc whereas I want a single straight run of 100 values from 0 to 1
What I need is for each of the nodes highlighted in green to return the child Nodes. Example: when I move the mouse over the menu Indoor lighting, the results should be: Indoorlighting | LED 10W> 3W LED> LED 6W
For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.
I want to gain knowledge outside of the class.I have 4 buttons that each load different external swf and load properly the probelm i have is i cant remove them. this is my trouble. I have tried the remove child but it cant be that easy and it doesnt work. i must be going wrong.when i go to remove one single child it remove the the latest child but wont remove every child that i want so the MC is clear and ready for the nest button to load the swf.heres my code so far.
I am developing a paint board application using flash builder. User can draw some shapes objects(ellipse, circle, rectangle). I want to implement grouping/un grouping feature some like ms-word in my application. I group multiple objects by putting them inside a container(UIComponent). Now i apply resizing to container and it resize well. I am using a free object handler API to apply selection handle over the container. I want to resize and reposition all children with respect to container changed size. Every thing goes well until all children inside container are having rotation = 0. But if there is any child which is having rotation >0 and <0 things goes worse. The child resize but not in a proper manner. I stretch the parent container width and it increase the height of rotated child. Is there any way using Matrix class or something else to transform all children in same direction and same ratio respective to container?
