ActionScript 2.0 :: Delete Nodes From External XML By Value?
Aug 23, 2008
I need to remove nodes from the xml loaded into Flash from external xml file. I need to remove folder nodes and also inside nodes by id and than insert the nodes in Flash tree using the tree.dataProvider method. Maybe there is a better way!
This is my example:
I need to display only the folders with id 12 and the nodes inside those folders with id 12.
I am searching for solution for 1 week and I do not know what to do. I am beginner in Flash and do not understand a lot from the actionscript. I downloaded and use the CS3 version and actionscript 2.
How to traverse the xml loaded into Flash and remove the nodes that do not confirm with the given id.
I'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.
i have another problem.. I would like to be able to delete a node according to his attribute "id" of the node "adverts". ????? here is the xml script :
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 got these four errors when I tried to create a button on the stage that would delete the text I inputted in the inputtext(ti). Based on the scripts I have and the errors, what should I write to create the delete button?
I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st' 2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before
I've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
//This is the Person.as file: class Person { public var HomName:String = "unknown"; public var HomEmail:String = "unknown"; public var HomPhone:String = "unknown"; public var HomSaveFreq:Number = 0;
I'm trying to work with XML in flash here and ran into an issue. I need to collect all the nodes in an XMLList that contains a certain childnode with a certain value. For example, from the XML below I just want to get the ''product'' nodes that have 1 as a value for ''amount'', i.e product 3 and 5.
I have an xml schema and recently got some actionscript working to parse it. The problem is, the actionscript is parsing some of the nodes, but missing some others, specifically the "inner" ones. Attached is the xml structure, and a simple Fla that loads the xml and attempts to trace all the nodes. You will notice, when you run it, it only traces the "ContactDetail" node once, and so misses the data.
I'm fairly new to XML and Flash, and am having some trouble accessing some deeper nodes in the XML feed that I'm using for my project. See details below. I can access the headline fine, but it's anything below that - the timestamp and the excerpt that I'm having trouble accessing. For now, I'm just starting with the timestamp.[code]...
Is it possible to dynamically create child nodes of an xml file with flash??Im what i want to do is save a users name etc in an xml file without having to manually add nodes in.So when a user clicks a button to save their details a new
I'm trying to populate a datagrid via an external xml file. i'v gotten a good ways into it but have hit a stumbling block that i can't get past when it comes to using the child nodes to populate the datagrid.
How to find out that. Is any new child node is available in xml or not.this is the structure of xml:if i add any child node in the xml how can i find it in from actionscript
I have 30 values coming from an xml file, and I need to programatically find out which of them is the lowest, then I need also to find out exactly where it is located, so I can get the value that is located next. What I mean is:
Let's suppose that on the following xml, Cat2 is the lowest value, I need not only to print Cat2, but also Dog1. So, I will need to find out how to get Dog1 knowing that Cat2 is the lowest value.
I'm working with XML in AS3. I'm loading in some xml that has dates in a format like: 2011-1-12-10-00-a
I am converting those to actual Flash Date so I can compare them and use the methods of the Date class, etc. I would prefer to convert them once and then store them back in the XML node they came from.Is it possible to store complex values like date or what have you in an XML?
A web service return to my flex3 client this custom exception: <SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:ro="urn:Gov2gLibrary" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="[URL]" xmlns:xsd="[URL]" xmlns:xsi="[URL]" xmlns:HNS="[URL]" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="[URL]" xmlns:v1="[URL]"> <faultcode>E2gError</faultcode> <faultstring>abc</faultstring> <detail><HNS:ROException> [Code] .....
This is obviously a part of the FaultEvent object I get when the remote call fail, so I'm trying to access "T2gMsg" subnode values like this: protected function onFaultEvent(e:FaultEvent):void { var obj:Object = e.fault; var err:XMLList = obj.element.detail.children()[0].children(); // now I have in err the "Messages" list, subnode of ROException, // so I should cycle to read one message at time: for each (var x:XML in err.children()) { //? }
How to read ID, Severity etc values. I think something like "x.ID" should work but it's not, while x.child("ID") or x.elements("ID") return null. What can I do?
In the resultHandler of an HTTPService call, I have assigned a repeating node to an arrayCollection. Inside that repeating node are other nodes that sometimes repeat and sometimes do not. For instance, here the option node repeats inside options.
