how to write to an empty xml node using AS2? For example...
<root>
<level1></level1>
</root>
I am trying to write a string between level1 opening and closing tag, but I haven't been able to do so using AS2 because nodeType returns 1 for the child of level1 instead of 3.I have tried appendChild(), parseXML(), nodeValue = "string goes here...", and every other method that I can think of.
I have made a menu system with 6 buttons, and on the layer above, I've made 6 'not active looking button' movieclips:
WEB / MYSPACE / BUY DK / BUY EU / DOWNLOAD / iTUNES
And I have made an XML file that contains the links for each button.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<infoXML>[code].....
checking an XML file for a specific node.
Example:
<vid
flv="videoName"
thumb="thumbnail.jpg"
title="Video Title"
[code]....
The first vid node contains a path to a logo graphic, I then need to check in my ActionScript if there is a logo there or not, and to do something if there is(display the logo) I can trace out the logo path so I thought I could run a simple if/else to check if there is anything in that node and if so to do something:
private function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent = null):void
{
trace("
");
[code]....
Now I've tried everything, but it will always trace out "Does have a logo" no matter what I do. I tried:
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == "")
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == null)
However I get the same results?
I have a series of images & links in my XML file that looks like[code]...
You'll see in the third once there is no link. Apparently, when I throw it into an XMLList, it gets ignored and all of the links are off by one.
In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:

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.

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 have a tree im my mxml that uses a XMLListCollection as dataProvider. Itīs XML is like:
<list>
<conta nome="Plano de Contas" id="1">
<conta nome="Creditos" id="2" />
<conta nome="Vendas" id="4" />
[code]....
How can I make the node for, say, id==4 visible AND selected?
i have a question whether we can create a new xml node in as3 node containing dynamic value inside.....
as like if i want to get like..var newNode:XML = <IMAGE FULL="fullimages/3.jpg"THUMB="thumbnails/3.jpg"/>
where the images are dynamic values...
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>
<collection title="Christmas 2004">

I've got some xml:
var xmlData:XML =
<1stNode>
<buttonID>first child node value</buttonID>
[Code]....
Then I want to read specific node value based on a value passed to a function. .
var buttonID = new Button;
var imageID = new Image;
var labelID = new Label;
[Code]....
I'm don't know how to get the value when node name is dynamically changed.
just trying to get straight how this works. Say I create some XML like so:
ActionScript Code:
var sample:XML = <sample>
<items>

I have a list of 99 item (something like a phone book) and I will like to sort them in different method. Part of the 99 item might be empty, so the requirement is to move the empty field behind the sorted data in every sorting behavior, here the code we have so far:

I'm trying to read a XML file and output the values, but i'm getting a 1120: Access of undefined property URLRequest. error.
[Code]...
Is there a static property in Action similar to that in the String object in .net to check if a string is empty, that is String.Empty.
View 2 RepliesI have a datagrid called dg that has data populated to it thru an external XML. What I am trying to achieve is whenever someone clicks on an item in the grid it stores that items coordinates to a variable called locCoordinates. At this moment it is tracing out the coordinates for all of the items in the grid. I just dont know how to go about only getting the selected items coordinates.

Given
<nodeList>
<crazyNode>Data to be overwrited</crazyNode>
<simpleNode>Normal data</simpleNode>
<crazyNode>Actual data</crazyNode>[code]......
I want to get the last crazyNode (the one which contains Actual data).I know how to access the first node, for example:
nodeList.crazyNode[0]
And I guess a solution would be
nodeList.crazyNode[nodeList.crazyNode.length() - 1]
But for some reason I don't like doing that, too verbose and maybe there's a method more elegant.
This might be a stupid question:

View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know of a way to get an XML node's name? Or to call the node without knowing it's name? I'm looking for something generic and reusable, with the child-node name not hard coded. My XML looks like this:

<doc>145</doc>
<doc>388</doc>[code]....
I've tried to import a string into the class to replace "doc", using XMLList, descendants, elements, children, etc. and nothing seems to work short of turning the whole thing into a string and chopping it up later.

I'm using XML to populate a comboBox Component. How do I get the aactionscript to trace which number in the array the choice is? So for example is my choices are:
choice A
choice B
choice C
on the dropdown box, whne I click "choice A" I want it to trace "0" because that's it's place in the XML, or if I click "choice C" it will say 2".If i use "length" it will tell me how many. I need to know what to use that tells me which one.
When i search for the "0_0_0" attributes value.How can i get parent node value.
var myxml:XML=<course>
<leval0 id="1" levalid="0">

How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?

View 2 RepliesTrying to loop though my XML data and assign to text fields.

but how to do it if 'text' is actually something contained in a string variable? so how do i add a childnode that has some programmatically generated content?

I have 2 xml files and one function to parse them. The function has to know how to parse them according to the xml document root node name.
How can I get the root name?
