ActionScript 2.0 :: [F8] XPath Not Recognizing "." Character In Node Path
Aug 7, 2006
I'm trying to create a tool that reads data in from a XML document. I've got the thing humming, generally working fine, but I've run into a specific problem when the path to a node includes a "." Below are two examples, one that is not a problem and one that is:
Not a problem:
GROUP[@TYPE=W44]/WSHAPE[@EDISTANDARD=W44X335]
Problem:
GROUP[@TYPE=M12]/MSHAPE[@EDISTANDARD=M12X10.8]
Notice the "." in 10.8 in the path, which seems to be screwing everything up. Is there a work-around for this? This is the correct path to the node, and in all cases where the path doesn't have a period the thing works fine.

I am finding this task challenging in AS3.if I am missing something basic/simple or some builtin method which can do this. I am not well versed with RegExp.I have a DYNAMIC string representing full file path which looks exactly like "d: empabc.doc". I want to extract the filename part from complete string e.g. abc.doc.I am aware of techniques like using "fullPath.lastIndexOf("\")" or regular expressions. The problem is it doesn't seem to work if you have "" in your path. It works with "/". The path being dynamic can't be manipulated to replace "" with "/" or any other delimiter. My interpretation is that since "" is used to escape characters - ANY character appearing AFTER "" is ignored by actionscript. e.g.[code]

I'm using the Flash Builder plugin for eclipse, which has been working fine. When I tried to build my latest project I get an error:
Code:
Illegal character in path at index 47: file:///////fp01-pr-whi/Users$/b.gannaway/Flash Builder/ServiceTest/bin-debug/ServiceTest.html
Is this something to do with UNIX/Mac file paths?

The situation is an interactive text book using the Webkit view of Adobe Air. I have static (built-in) html content that the user can highlight and bookmark (annotate). This mechanism all works, but I need to be able to store and restore these annotations. I would rather not store a modified version of the DOM, but rather use the static version then reapply the users annotations that I am storing in a SQLite DB along with other needed metadata. DOM manipulation is pretty new for me, and so far my attempts to serialize a DOM::range have failed. What I realized though is that I really seem to only need the start and end containers and the start and end offsets. Then I can recreate the range with document.createRange().

I'm parsing a XML string into XMLDocument object. I want to search for a specific node using XPath technology by using XPathQuery.execQuery() - this function returns new XML object which means I need to convert it to a different XMLDocument object and lose the reference, how can I do that without loosing the reference?I'm using this XPath library of AS3.

I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.
[Code]...
My Problem: I want to know the new node where the leaf was dropped. Actually i would have expected that in the event there is a property like dropParent. This is not the case.

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
Code:
<gallery>

I have a typing game and I want to be able to detect period and commas, however unless you are holding down another key (any other key), the period and comma keys do not trigger KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP. I found that sometimes they would work when focus was set to the document class. After hours of debugging my game trying to figure it out, I decided to create a new project to JUST test this problem. Here's the absolute barbones example:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]..............
If you run this, it should automatically set focus to the document class. At this point, the period and the comma do not work. Now click the stage and you will find that the comma and period do not work UNLESS you hold down another key (for example hold down the m key and then press the comma key). Also at this time, focus is set to null.Now click the textfield, and the comma and the period work again.

I'm programming a Flash-based site designed by the client. The trouble is the SWF dimensions are small within the HTML page, and the thumbs show the larger images on roll over. The large images are meant to disappear on mouseout, but it's easy to move the cursor too quickly for the mouseout to be recognized -- so the image gets stuck on screen.

Code:
SetNextProject = function () {
i++;
ProjectPreloadB(currentArray[i]);
[code]....
The point of this code is to make button mc_arrowF go away when the end of the array is reached. Its BASICALLY working, however when i load, say currentArray[18], the end of the array, the button doesn't disappear until i press it again. Basically, the button doesnt disappear until currentArray[19]... even though currentArray.length=18.

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

Yeah, I have no idea why it thinks getNoteCode isn't a function. For the record, I'm coming from AS2. I don't like that I can't give linkage instance names to objects in my root .fla - that was handy.

I've built a flash application on which I've created a webservice client to consume a dotnet service. when the full domain ex: www.yourdomain.com is used to load the site (primarily html and asp.net code with just a flash client) everything is fine. If I load the website using just... yourdomain (no www) then the flash interface activates but never returns a response. I've tried loading a cross domain policy file to see if that could be the issue to no avail. So far no www flash bugs are turning up as a common issue on Google, maybe I'm not using the right key words?

I'm working with Flash Builder 4.6 as an IDE and Flash CS5.5 to create library items. The problem is - when I put an instance of a library item on the stage or inside of another item, Flash Builder fails to detect the instance name that was declared in Flash CS. This doesn't prevent the code from compiling just fine though.
I understand that the IDE only sees the fields that I have declared directly in the .as file, but it really hinders me that I the IDE goes crazy when I do this.
Is there any way to circumvent this - other than dynamically creating and placing the instances?

I have recently been given an Actionscript framework that was developed in Flash CS3 or CS4 and it compiles fine in Flash CS3 and Flash CS4. I am now working with Flash CS5 and do not have CS3 or CS4 installed. When i compile the files in Flash CS5 it throws an error and does not properly compile. It appears that Flash is not recognizing one of the AS classes in one of the directories within the framework. Has anyone experienced this with Flash CS5. These files worked fine in Flash CS3 and CS4 but I can't seem to figure it out for CS5; is there a setting or config option I am missing?
