ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Not Same Childnodes In Each Element
Dec 3, 2009
I currently have some XML which looks like this:[code] I don't have any <discount> in my second listing. The content of <discount> is being displayed upon some graphic which I'm tweening around. However if there's no discount, I want to set this movieclip to ._visible = false - since its pointless to have it tweening around when there's no text on it.How on earth would I check if <discount> exists or doesn't? In most cases it will be there, but in a few it won't.[code]
Inside my XML file, I want to have multiple child nodes nested in a parent node. But when I try to trace out the multiple child nodes, I only get the first child node in the trace, despite using "@" wildcard. Is it because the childnodes are named the same?
I am trying to build xml menu. Some nodes have childNodes some don't. I have a problem in my array loop : the movieclip that I use to create subMenu attached to the entire array. How can I make that the movieclip that I use for subMenu only attach to the nodes that having childNodes?
Here's the code :
Code: function buildingMenu(){ buttonArray = myXml.firstChild.childNodes; for (var i=0;i<buttonArray.length;i++) {
Is there a way to add ".childNodes[0]" to a var? Like if I have: myVar = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue; And if the user push a button I want myVar to be; myVar = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
I'm workig on my portfolio and here is what Im running into...en I debug my fla the following XML shows up with extra "xmlobj.childNodes[1].childNodes["Right here"]hen I browse the file in the debugger (variables section) instead of 0,1 and 2 for childNodes the are 0-5??? and every other one is all null values... also they show up as [1] [2] [3] directly under xmlobj when I expand it can anyone tell me whats up with my xml? if its my script or you think it is I'll post the code/fla if I need to... alsoMy xml will be dynamically created via a php -> mysql script eventually (I have that worked out I just need to get this working so I can properly format my php-> xml output for flash which is what I think my problem is.
I'm trying to get my XML info into movieclips called "button_1" - "button_7" I have my XML ChildNodes showing up in my output window when I export my swf. I used the xml class to load into an xml instance So how do I assign the data to my movieclips.
I have a movie clip in my library linked as aboutUsMenuBtn. And I as get the childNodes.nodeName from the XML file, I want them to be assigned to a dynamic text field "btn_txt" inside of the aboutUsMenuBtn. With each node, a button is going to be attached to the aboutUs stage (I'm working using a Flash Form Application).
I am trying to use Kirupa's XML drop down menu(action script 2.0): aka: [URL] however I cannot have it output the childNode. This is because it is using a for loop with the curr_item variable. when I try to trace the for loop count variable, it just returns the last for loop variable. I basically want it so that when I click on a button on the 3rd tier submenu, I want it to output all the prior tiers that the button belongs in.
I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?
I have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
I've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().
Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.
this["nodeValue"+i] = new TextField(); (surely in dynamic class )
then I want to change instance name of that element.when I trace this["nodeValue"+i].name.I got a different name for that element ! f ex : instance8 .how can I get "nodeValue"+i from my element and change that .is it read only ? I want to swap tow element's instance name !
for example : this["nodeValue"+i] to this["nodeValue"+i+1]
I am having a problem with my drop traget. I have the ability to drop and duplicate multiple objects on a stage. I have a clip set up (canvas) which is used for if someone drops objects onto this it duplicates the dragged clip.
However the problem I am having is that if someone tries to drop an element on top of an already drop/duplicated element, it wont duplicate the new clip. Its like it thinks that the dragged clip is not over the canvas.
Is it possible to get the id of a swf's containing element? I'm pretty familiar with DOM scripting, so any kind of reference to the swf would be fine. I need to initialize registration of the swf to an array in javascript
I have a reference to a XML node which is part of a bigger XML tree. Is there a way to get that elements next/previous sibling without accessing the parent and looking for it? Something like DOM's nextSibling would be what I look for. edit: Given that there is no natural way to do this with E4X, I'll just stick to the following (except that in my case, I'll store the actual index somewhere instead):
I have several animated movies (counties in Ireland actually) that when clicked animated up in size and display some information. I then have a button to the left that I would like use to animate the movie back to its original size i.e. close it. Thing is that I would like to pass the name of the current movieclip to the button and use it in a function. I had thought of using a switch statement but id need 26 of them for this function alone. Solving this would reduce my code a lot. My attempt is as follows:
I know how to get one element from the array. But I don't know let's say how to take 3 elements ( position 0,1,2). I don't know how to trace all the three together. I am getting errors all the time.
var myArray:Array = [1,2,3,4,5]; trace(myArray[0]); trace(myArray[0], ?,?);
public var dataAL:Array=[ {Kiv:"cash", jan:26,janTarget:28,feb:27,febTarget:26,mar:30,marTarget:32,apr:31,aprTarget:32,may:28,mayTarget:29,jun:46,junTarget:32,jul:37,julTarget:39,aug:40,augTarget:42,sep:41,sepTarget:42,oct:48,octTarget:49,nov:40,novTarget:41,dec:38,decTarget:40},
[code]....
Now if i want to access febTarget for cash how will i do it?
How do you set a variable attribute of a xml element?This is what I expected to work:xmlElement.attribute(variableAttr) = "the variable attribute is set to this string";
However, I'm getting some error that this value can only be retrieved as a reference and not set.Ofcourse, the following does not work either as it will look for the attribute named "variableAttr" and not for the attribute named after the value of the variable variableAttr:
