ActionScript 2.0 :: Parsing XML Into Flash On Buttons?
Nov 13, 2004
the xml nodes are not parsed though to Flash and placed on the Buttons dynamic text field for button titles as they should be. You will notice the tuts sample to see what I am trying to achieve here. I attached a zip of my files that I have been working with to get a grasp on this whole xml and Flash bizness.
Any of you dynamic guru's out there that can take a peek at my .FLA file to see where I am wrong in my code? I followed the tut word-for-word and nothing code-wise is jumping out at me or "red-flaged" as the reason for the buttons titles not appearing once the movie is published.

just here and been trying to do this tut here on kirupa thats supposed to be introductory level, although I am finding it very difficult. Here is the link to the tut section I am particularly having issues with: [URL] Now, I have been at this thiing for about 8 hours today and for whatever reason, the xml nodes are not parsed though to Flash and placed on the Buttons dynamic text field for button titles as they should be.

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer. I have this ActionScript that reads the XML file into the flash movie. The poblem is this: The XML is in this format:
<listitem name="TEST" url="rtmp://000.000.000.000/">
<stream len="-1" name="Test" start="0"/>
<group name="Testing"/>
</listitem>

This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.

How can I reliably iterate through a MovieClip for every child?
I'm working on a game and a great way to lay out my levels is inside a MovieClip, with each frame being a new level. The problem is that when I move on to frame 2 or 3 and try to iterate through the MovieClip's children, I'm getting a different number (less) than is actually on that frame.
I think it's because the instances from the previous frame are being carried over to the new frame.
A simple solution is to create a new MovieClip for every level instead of a new frame inside each MovieClip, but this isn't the most scalable solution (say I want to remove a level or add a level between other levels, etc).

I have a php/mysql backend which allows user to enter descriptions in a form. The editor is the Innova editor and automatically turns <strong> and <b> tags into <span style="font-weight: bold;">. When I retrieve the xml in flash cs3 and output it in a textfield the text paragraphs and all spacing is preserved however, bold and italics etc. don't render at all.
Is there any actionscript code or 3rd party libraries I can use with my fla to get this to render?

I want to display a list box in a different way. I have uploaded the image as well i.e., what exactly am looking for and how the list box has to look. I am parsing the xml data and it's coming fine in list box. but my requirement is the look n feel of list box.
Flash code :
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("news1.xml"));
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
ParseNews(xmlData);

In my flash, the socket server returns some xml data that I need to parse, but it seems that the only way to start the XML object is with the XML.Load() which loads an external file, but my XML file is already loaded into a variable
trace("raw: "+msg);
msgArea.htmlText += "update remote player loc";
var playerLocXMLOb = new XML(msg);

I have intercepted x-amf data being posted to a website from my computer by a flash application. I have the collected POST data in hex form. While some of it has translated directly to text, the rest is showing wierd symbols which probably means they're flash objects. How do I parse this data to get meaningful output outta it?
Basically, I need a script/program/anything that will take in amf data in the hex form, and output text and flash objects...

I'm having a problem parsing a JSON file in AS3. Im trying to parse multiple JSON arrays, but don't really know how to get to the next after accessing the first one. My JSON file looks like:
{ "term": [ {
"id": 4211,
"place": "NEW YORK CITY"
},
{"id": 2675,
"place": "WASHINGTON (DC)"
[Code] .....
I can get the data from the first array, but how would I structure my code so that I could iterate through 2 or more "term" arrays?

i'm still transitioning from as2 to as3, i'm having trouble with parsing XML data to Multi dimensional array, below is the onComplete handler which is succesfully tracing 'event.target.data' but outputs 'A term is undefined and has no properties' when tracing _vein_data[0][0].xPos. I'm guessing there is a easier way to approach it than this attempt

Given the following XML code:

<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
[code]....
I want to be able to get the data contained in the "thumb" tags using the "name" attribute value of the parent tag as a selector, something like you would do in jQuery: $('set[name="pdf"]').find('thumb');Is there a method like this in Action Script 2 (can't use AS3)?

I'm linking an XML document to a Flash file to control all sorts of things and it's going quite well until i tried to fill a dynamic text field with a paragraph of type from the XML document. I've done this a million times in AS2 and I've done it in AS3 using attributes, but this time I'm using childNodes. The dynamic text field is in a movieclip. When I tested it using this code:
var oneComments:String=xmlTestOne.firstChild.childNode s[num].childNodes[1];
oneClip.txtComment.text=oneComments;
...it sort of worked but I get the element tags along with the paragraph text.

I have an application that was written with Flash Professional 8/AS2 and it parses XML for rendering dynamic media content. The XML pulls text with HTML markup out of CDATA sections and places them into an html enabled text field. Everything has worked wonderfully until Flash Player 10.
Now, if we use html escape characters for greater than or less than symbols, they are being decoded by the xml parser.
Here's my example CDATA section:
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
when I grab its value using nodeValue or toString, the results are different from Flash Player 9 to 10. Here's what I'm getting:
[Code]....
In Flash 10, if I escape the ampersand, it will work, but this doesn't work in 9. for example, the following works in 10:
<![CDATA[Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>]]>
This all happens before I assign it to a text field. How do I keep the parser from destroying my escaped characters in Flash 10? Do I just need to drop support for Flash Player 9 and go for what works in 10, or is there a solution for both?

I'm trying to build a menu system which populates itself by parsing labels from the Flash timeline. As well I have a requirement to keep this all within one FLA file... so no classes or XML files. After 2 days I'm pretty close here, but have a problem with mouse_out's. I'd like to be able to move my cursor up and down the popped-up sub menu, but as soon as my cursor leaves the first sub button it triggers the mouse_out function.
I want the mouse_out to trigger only when the cursor leaves the entire sub-menu, not it's children. I believe this is a traditional problem and there's solutions but after 1.5 days of tuts and threads I haven't been able to manage it. I think I may just have to tweak how I deal with the submenu array.

I'm having problems with the flash buttons on the flash website i made for a client. or some reason the buttons in the top and bottom menu work on some people's computers but on some they don't. I don't know what to do, i had this code for all the buttons,
on (release) {
getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","_self");
}
and they worked on my computer but on others the buttons didn't work at all so i added this code to each button also
on(press) {
_root.getURL("http://legaldepartment.ca/","self");
}
and they still work on my computer and some other people's computers but still some they don't work on some people's computers.
