A couple of days ago, I started a little flash/xml project to learn how xml and flash works together. I made a XMLfile like so...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data><themes>
<theme name="theme1">
<item img="1.jpg" desc="bla" url="link1.html"/>
<item img="2.jpg" desc="blabla" url="link2.html"/>

Flash 8 duplicating movie clips and setting 3 nodes from XML. I am trying to read in an xml with 3 parameters; 2 links and one text field for a caption. What am I doing wrong this time?

I am trying to have "bMC" load into and repeater for however many XML props there are. within "bMC" are two MC's that on click would open window or grab file and One Text field which would load in caption. For some reason the "bMC" isnt even loading at all. Attached is the .Fla
I have a set of 5 movieclips that pull in info into dynamic textfields. Each individual movieclip pulls in one xml node. Once the five nodes have been pulled in I need to, upon a click or timer function, reload the same movieclips with the next 5 nodes of xml.

I received word that my code was such a mess that it was confusing people. So I'll try to simply post my xml and then explain what I've been tasked with doing. [code]...

how i could change this loop to ignore the diagonal nodes?
I develop a piece of code that brings me to an xml, all Nodes i use this code:
for(var i=0; i< menu_xml.childNodes.length; i++){
corrent_node = menu_xml.childNodes[i].length;corrent_item.action = corrent_node.attributes.action;corrent_item.variables = corrent_node.attributes.variables;corrent_item.name.text = corrent_node.attributes.name;
[code]....
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.

How can I create a for loop so I can use different values of the same node? So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields. Note that I have mutliple Movieclips on the stage with the same amount of textfields and I would like to include them in the loop, so I named them mc1 mc2 etc.

View 1 RepliesI have a simple search form on my site. It allows users to pull data from a database and then display that data. So the user would select the data set they want, a PHP script queries the database, and then puts that data into a XML file. This part is working fine. However I can not seem to get the data to display correctly in Flash. I tried the tutorial on this site for Flash and XML, and it works, but only displays one result. The problem I believe is that all the child nodes have the same tag. My XML file would look something like:

ok, im about to pull ALL my hair out trying figure the tree model for accessing xml nodes in flash. just when i think i have it figured out...i don't.my XML file...

I have a xml like so:
<job>
<title/>
<items>
<item>
[Code]....
Basically I pulll xml data into flash and most comes in, but only the first set will show the name, after that it goes to "undefined". Secondly, I can't pull in the info.
Here is my XML. I have removed A LOT of what is actually in the XML file I am working with, for simplicity:
PHP Code:
<State><Center ID="BOCC">
<Dispatch><Log>
<LogType>Traffic Collision - Ambulance Responding</LogType>
[Code] .....
I need ONLY the text of the LogType's (FROM CENTER "BOCC" ONLY) to show up in a list component or trace the output.. doesn't matter.. I can formulate it myself.. I just need to only grab this specific data. I do not want to see any other results (e.g. from SOMEOTHERCENTER). Like show:
Traffic Collision - Ambulance Responding
Traffic Hazard
Pedestrian On A Highway
The actual file I'm working with (and can not alter) is [URL].
I've been following tutorials for reading in xml data, but I'm having trouble referencing the different nodes. In the following example I'm just trying to view.[code]No errors or anything.I don't get it. The xml loads in the first place, (trace(xml)), but I can't access the individual nodes.
View 3 Repliesthis is supposed to return an XMLList of Groups anywhere in the xml. This works fine if I have more than one , but fails if there is only one .Am I wrong in my assumption that it should return one? I trace xml..Group.length() and it is 0, but the Group is definately in the xml.Any ideas on how you can get one or more Group nodes from my xml?

I have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names
2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name
3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.
i want to load all the attributes by the name "pagename" within this xml file into an array : my_array

I couldn't find anything to directly answer my question online, so I thought I'd post here.
I have a CSS file, and an XML file. Both are loading fine, but the flash isn't applying the CSS to the XML nodes I assign.

Is there a way to add xml containing multiple nodes.
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.
And it's not a typo for product 3... ;(
<xml>
<product>
<title>Product 1</title>
<amount>4</amount>

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.
