How simple it would be to sort some xml in order by attribute or node inside Flash, rather than reloading the data? Had a look at the class and I couldn't see anything there that would do the job.

how to do this.. but every single one seems to have something that does not fit my purpose.
I have a XML list and this is a bit of my AS3 code:
Code:
var classList:XMLList = e.child("class").(attribute("day") == theday).(attribute("hour_ini") >= thehours);
for (var i:int = 0; i < classList.length(); i++)
[Code].....
I have the following function, and so far it works great:

The dispatchEvent is used to dispatch the xml information to another class, where I will use the information to set up my graphics. However, before the dispatching of the Event, I would really like to sort my information by the "year" node of my xml file (the "item.year"). I've seen examples of how to sort by the xml attribute online, but not the node. Is there any simple way to do this?
I have xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<articles>
<entry datumNum="20090420" date="20/4/2009" id="1">
<title>Some title</title>
[Code]....
I would like to sort xml nodes using attribute datumNum, but I can't get it to work. Don't know how to pass attribute to sortOn function before the for loop.
Note that there is maybe a error in xml parsing code here, because I tried to be as short as I can.
I've used a lot of XML in Flash, but this one really bugs me and I can't find how to make it work!
I have a simple XML like this one:
Code:
<root>
<project>
<descr>some text</descr>
[Code]....
I can target the items (there are more in my complete xml) with: project.items.children( )But I can't seem to get to the attributes
I use this code in as3 in order to find node with specific id value but it is working for 2 depth
elementsToDraw = elementsList.*.(@id=="hello");
For example at this xml node can be found
<nodes>
<node id="d">
<node id="hello">
[Code]....
What should I write for searching in any depth element with id="hello"?
I am reading in an XML file in AS3. I need to find out if an attribute exists on a node. I want to do something like:
if(xmlIn.attribute("id")){
foo(xmlIn.attribute("id"); // xmlIn is of type XML
}
This doesn't work however. The above if statement is always true, even if the attribute id isn't on the node.
My main problem with this code is I want to put the url of the image and thumbnail xml tag in the nod, instead of it being an attribute. Now I can do this easily in XML, but reading this in .as is another issue. I have attached the code below so you can see what I am doing.The files are also attached for you to see the actual code..

can I somehow word something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var i:uint = 2;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(myXML.category[0].project[/* ...node which attribute named
[code]....
In Actionscript 3, is there a way to sort the nodes (instances of type XML) in an XMLList in document order (as defined in the XDM spec; "Informally, document order is the order in which nodes appear in the XML serialization of a document")? Alternately, is there a way to compare the document position of two nodes?
Here's a little example of what I mean. In the real case, the list is constructed by a much more complicated process and might have hundreds of nodes.

I know I can use the XMLdocument class and go back tothe old way of doing thinsg. So I have an AS3 Air app which is successfully reading and writing to an XML file. Now I want to replace an attribute or an entire node if that's easier but I can't figure out how to target it. So the XML starts with an empty node:
[code]....
What I want to know is how to target the status node (or any other node for that matter) so that I can replace it or it's attribute. So, let's say I have a bunch of these guest nodes and I want to change the status for the first one, how do I do that using the new syntax.

View 2 RepliesI have a series of XML nodes that are the same (except for the data of course). I want to find the node with that attribute and use that node's data. I know I can do this with a for loop and an if statement but I was hoping that there was a better way.[code]...
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know to sort in descending order in a Vector? the sort(Array.DESCENDING) seems not support it.
View 1 Repliesthis is not CRUCIAL but I would like to be able to change it.As the notes come down the screen, they get added on top of each other since each child is added at a specific time.Is there a way I can reverse the sort order? So notes added after notes become layered behind instead of in front?
View 5 RepliesI'm using this code below to load xml data and display it in text fields, I was wondering if there was a way to load them in alphabetical order, based on the nodeValue of name?

I've been trying to figure out how to display the descendants (in this case exchangeRate and PlacesOfInterest) of a parent node with a specific attribute.To set the scene - the user clicks on a button which sets a string variable to a destination eg. japan or australia.The code then runs through a set of nodes in the XML and any that have a matching attribute is traced - simple enoughWhat I can't figure out is how to then display only the child nodes of the node with that attribute.I'm sure there has to be a way of doing it and I'll probably be banging my head against the desk when I find it

var destAttributes:XMLList = destinationInput.adventure.destination.attributes();

I am trying to sort XML data based on an attribute "price" (or p). I'm trying to sort the prices numerically so that, for example, 1230.00 does not show up before 19.00. I have defined a preliminary price sort function as follows:

View 1 RepliesI have an array that is structured like so.
[Code]....
Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?

View 1 RepliesI am having trouble parsing some xml that has a few attribute names with : characters in them. The compiler is not throwing any errors and when I trace my complete xml object out it is all there, however when I try to trace out any element or node it keeps comming up undefined. I removed the attribute names with : characters in them and everything works fine. I cant seem to target the attributes either to delete them.

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
