pulling specific data from XML? This is what I mean...Supposed I have an XML file like this:
HTML Code:
<data>
<article>
<ID>1a</ID>
<related items>
[code]....
Now, in Flash I want to load all items that have "5f" listed as one of their related item. So only display articles where item = 5f
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site.
I created a file that pulls data from the worldofwarcraft.com serverstatus xml page.The data populates a dropdown list and you can choose the server and it tells you if its up or down. The mini app works great on my desktop, when I upload it to my server it no longer retrieves the data.
Is Bliz blocking my server address from recieving the data? Anyone know how to navigate around this. [URL]..If you want to test it grab the swf out of your cache and load it from your desktop, it will work.
I have been failing to do a thing with Flash actionscript2.0; Here is the problem-
My xml file name is: sea.xml On my fla file, there is a button named: do; and a movieClip named: loader;
What I am trying to do is- load xml only when the button is pressed. So I tried this-
myXML:XML = new XML;
do.onRelease = function(){
myXML.load("sea.xml");
}

I was running a test today and couldn't get flash to properly load data from php.Here's my textInput.php file:
Code:
<?php
$testVar = 'This is a sentence.';[code]....
why it's grabbing the entire php code, rather than just the echo?
I am trying to pull a text from within xml tags and place them in a text box when certain mc's are clicked. I am using the e.target to find the name of the mc clicked and grab info from tags with the same name as the target mc.

ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.events.Event;

And the xml file
Code:
<statsIcons>
<pollutionIcon_mc> some text </pollutionIcon_mc>
</statsIcons>

Basically, I am having trouble pulling in more than one line of XML data. Here is the line of code I am trying to manipulate to give me more than one line. I have tried duplicating it and changing the values... but it just updates which line it is displaying instead of the first and second one...
_root.setlist = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
Inside of my XML document it is layed out like this....
<shows>
<show>
<setlist>
<song>Song 1</song>
</song>Song 2</song>

I am trying to create this slide show application that will show product information (Tennis Rackets) based on diffrent categories. A great programmer advised me that OOP would be a way to go, however i am having a difficulty with it.
I created: A document class called CustomClass --> this class downloads all XML data from the server and pushing the content of it into Arrays based on a category.These arrays are public, there is also a funciton iterateArray which places the children information somewhere.

I am a pretty big newb- my challenge is get a flash page to look to a database and check for updates constantly (in the realm of 1update/second) then pull new data as it is added.
View 1 RepliesNewbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

First off I am new to using Flex, but I have pieced this app together with help from online tutorials and information. Basically my app is like a directory of names, addresses and so forth, but I also have additional fields of "week" and "day". What I am trying to do is have a list that shows only the names of, for example Week 1 - Monday. Below is some of the code I am using to help you understand what I am trying to do.
<s:List dataProvider="{AddDoctorDatabase.doctors()}" labelField="name" change="onDoctorSelected(event)"
left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"></s:List>

I've learned recently that you can use txt file for simple data too, so I include it here as well.TXT contains (not sure if correct, should have same data kind as the xml):
point1&x=1&y=2
point2&x=1.5&y=2.5
point3&x=5&y=-5
XML contains:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<points>
<point1 x="1" y ="2"></point1>

What I have:
- I have 2 dynamic textfields: text1 (variable: outPut1) and text2 (variable: outPut2)
- I have 1 input textfield: (variable:inPut)
- I have 1 button
What I'm trying to do:
- When typing point1 in the input textfield and then pressing the button,(onRelease), outPut1 textfield should show the number 1 and outPut2 textfield should show 2.
- Similar, when typing point3 in the input textfield and pressing the button, outPut1 should show the number 5 and outPut2 should show the number -5.
-It is not only for these three points, it should be applicable with say 50.000 to 200.000 more of such points, each with different x and y values.
To sum it up:So Flash (with AS2) should screen the nodes or txt (for those point names) on what was inserted in the input textfield, then fill the corresponding attributes (XML) seperately in the textfields and all that after the button was pressed. The same deal if it was done with txt, if possible (have read that with txt, loading of data would be faster?).

I am doing a project that consists of AS3 in flash an importing an external xml data that will populate dynamic data in text fields in my flash project. The xml is all ready set up (pre existing) data. The structure of the XML Code looks like this:
<GlobalDynamicData xmlns:xsi"[URL]">
<schema version 1.0.0>version 1</schemaversion>
<DynamicDataFields>
<DynamicDataField>
<DataField> AlertOn</DataField>
<DataValue>0</DataValue
[Code] .....
which works fine,
My question to everyone is How do tell flash to pull specific dynamic data if all the datafields are exactly the same... I would think all data fields that are named have to be diffrent so when you script the code you are telling flash to go to that data source and pull from that record. If you have the same naming convention how does flash know which one to pull from if they all have the same name..

I have an sqlite db in an application and am stuck on how to pass the data that is retrieved from the db into multiple textboxes. I can get the first selection passed into the components just fine, but my problem comes in when I try to pass a second data selection into a different textbox while keeping the data from the previous selection the same in the first textbox.Basically, the user selects a recipe and that recipe is passed into textbox 1 Then another recipe is selected and that recipe is passed into textbox 2. *The recipes are selected from a different view, if that adds anything to the problem. After being selected, the view is returned to where the textboxes are.I'm not looking for someone to code this for me, but rather on how I would do it. I should be able to do that. =)My Text Components
<s:Group id="group1" x="412" y="156" width="200" height="206" contentBackgroundAlpha="1.0" >

I'm developing a diet checker that users enter their recipe into an input field and compares it to an external text file with a list variables of ingredients and then underlines or highlights certain ingredients that would not be good to eat.
I need to check this input box for certain words and see if there are specific words before or after those words.The word "egg" WOULD BE highlighted/underlined as a bad ingredient but "egg white" would NOT have the "egg" part highlighted The word "fried chicken" WOULD BE highlighted/underlined but "baked chicken" or "broiled chicken" would NOT be highlighted The external variable text file lists the words I'm searching for and the words to replace them with but, the code I have cannot yet determine if the word "white" is after the word "egg" and then not have the "egg" part of the phrase underlined.

View 2 RepliesI managed to write some PHP which writes some XML including the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<subjects>
<subject>
<ID>1</ID>
[code]...
And well... this is where I'm stumped. What I need to do is read "position" and "menu_name_ice" (or in fact any of the "menu_name_*" but let's start with the first one) and, using Kirupa's excellent tutorial, that worked just fine except I need to read just one "subject" at a time, not all of them (there are plenty more, all in the same syntax).I'm using "position" to determine the posting order of "menu_name_*" to the stage and "visible" to determine whether or not to do so.
I am deploying a desktop application using AIR, and I would like to store some user-specific data on the machine such as a history of his entries.
View 2 RepliesI have a situation where I need to update a DropDownList's dataProvider and selectedItem in a specific order. See the following code ...
<s:DropDownList id="dropDownList"
dataProvider="{someDataProvider}"
selectedItem="{someSelectedItem}" />
In my case, some user interaction produces new values for the bindable variables "someDataProvider", and "someSelectedItem". However, when flex renders the DropDownList, the control's selected value is empty.
The reason for this is that the DropDownList's "selectedItem" property gets bound before the "dataProvider" property. The "dataProvider" needs to be bound first for "selectedItem" to be valid, this is because the new "selectedItem" points into the new "dataProvider".
what is the best practice for updating bindable properties in a specific order? I've come up with a few ways (e.g. using a valueCommit handler), but I wanted to see what the community had to say.
