ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Nodes-next Sibling?
Jul 25, 2006
This is my first time using this forum. What an excellent site. I've learned a lot about using xml with flash through this site. I have expanded upon the example to build an xml menu using flash.The file I have created loads videos dynamically
Loads Sounds Dynamically Includes a title Class to display titles Includes a RollOver class to display on rollover events when you mouse over the titles. ut I would like to build arrows so that you can navigate among each of the individual sub menus using a forward, and back arrow button.I have tried to do this with no success, if anyone can help me, I'm attaching the fla...

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.

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'm trying to get the sibling of an mxml tag similar to the way siblings are selected in javascript. Is this possible in Actionscript? For example, when I click the TextArea with id textarea1, I need it to tell me that the sibling has an id of rect1 so I can do further processing to it.
<s:Group>
<s:TextArea id="textarea1" click="getSibling(event)" />
<s:Rect id="rect1" />
</s:Group>

I had a question on OOP and the best practice for how to communicate between classes. If I have a class (SiblingA) where some one clicks something in it and you need to interact with another Class (SiblingB), what is the best method for doing this?
(option1) Should I have a bunch of event listeners in the Document Class that respond to these events? (I thought you wanted a document class to be as small as possible). (option2) Or should I create a separate 'Utility' class that speaks with both siblings to facilitate communication (event handling) between the two (one class with many public static methods). I have attached a diagram to try and help explain this.
Often times these events are dispatched from children of children in sibling classes (ie childOfSiblingA or even its children) Option1 Scenario: A user does something in SiblingA, that dispatches an event to the doc class which listens for it, fires its listener function which calls a (public) method in SiblingB to handle the interaction.
Option2 Scenario: A user does something in SiblingA which calls a (public static) function in Utility class which calls a (public) function in SiblingB to handle the interaction.
I think I am leaning towards option 1 but that would be a lot of dispatching events (child dispatches to parent, dispatches to its parent, dispatches to doc, doc calls child, which calls its child, which... finally does something)

Below is the code for a simple Flex actionscript project. A sprite is partially covering a hyperlink. What's happening is that when you hover over the sprite, if you're also hovering over the hyperlink, the hyperlink is activated. I want to prevent that. I want the hyperlink to be activated only when the mouse hovers over it -- but not when the mouse hovers over the sprite which covers it.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.TextEvent;
import flash.text.Font;

On my stage is a MovieClip called Box and a MovieClip called InfoBox. InfoBox has a fucntion called setInfo. Box, when clicked (It is a MovieClip, not a button), wants to call the setInfo function of InfoBox.
I tried using the following code in Box:
MovieClip(this.parent).InfoBox.setInfo();
This produced the following error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Stage@34a8ef99 to flash.display.MovieClip.
at Box/infoBox()
What is proper way to call a function in a sibling MovieClip?
InfoBox.as looks like this:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class InfoBox extends MovieClip {

I am trying to learn xml in flash myself and am findingit v.hard.All i am trying to do is create a little 'story' with 3 pages.I have content loading into flash but I am unable to get the next 'sibling' into an array e.g. the title. I can only get page1's title in the array but I can never get to page 2.Here is my xml:
<maincontent>
<page1>
<title>Who is he</title>[code].....
This only traces the first title, how can i get to the second and the third so i can then display them in my text box?

If I have two sibling canvases displayed next to each other, can I have a child Label (or any child component for that matter) in the left canvas overflow outside of that canvas and on top of the next?
Something like this:

| | Label overflow test | |

Essentially, the simplified problem is this: I have a parent sprite "PARENT" with two children: One child sprite "A" that contains a number of children which respond to mouseover/mouseout and rollover/rollout events, and a second child sprite "B" that is shown/hidden based on the events in "A".
The problem is that "B" appears over "A" on the stage and when the mouse enters "B", the children in "A" throw mouseout/rollout events. Ideally, I would be able to make "B" completely mouse transparent so that the hit testing in AS3 will "see through it" to the underlying "A" sprite, but this doesn't seem possible.
Note that "B" has mouseEnabled and mouseChildren set to false... but the problem seems to be that the AS3 hit testing engine won't look at siblings when determining mouse hit testing. (i.e. It sees "B" under the mouse, sees the mouseEnabled=false setting, and then moves on to "B"'s parent ("PARENT"), but never checks to see if "A" is under the mouse (which it is)).
I can't make "B" a child of "A", because "A" is clipped and "B" needs to extend beyond this clipping area.
At this point I'm thinking I'm going to have to do my own hit testing, which is far from ideal given that "A" contains a large number of children.

I have a Flex repeater that has a complex item template. When a checkbox is clicked, I need to toggle the visibility of a sibling button contained in the same repeater template. Since I can't add binding expressions to event handlers, I can't pass in the repeater item's index.
How can I access sibling components inside a repeater item?

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.
ActionScript:
Code:
district1_BTN.onRelease = function() {
descText.text = Quotations.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild;
for(i=0; i<Quotations.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes.length; i++)

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... ;(

<product>
<title>Product 1</title>

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.

I have 30 values coming from an xml file, and I need to programatically find out which of them is the lowest, then I need also to find out exactly where it is located, so I can get the value that is located next. What I mean is:
Let's suppose that on the following xml, Cat2 is the lowest value, I need not only to print Cat2, but also Dog1. So, I will need to find out how to get Dog1 knowing that Cat2 is the lowest value.

I'm working with XML in AS3. I'm loading in some xml that has dates in a format like: 2011-1-12-10-00-a
I am converting those to actual Flash Date so I can compare them and use the methods of the Date class, etc. I would prefer to convert them once and then store them back in the XML node they came from.Is it possible to store complex values like date or what have you in an XML?

A web service return to my flex3 client this custom exception:
<SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:ro="urn:Gov2gLibrary" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="[URL]" xmlns:xsd="[URL]" xmlns:xsi="[URL]" xmlns:HNS="[URL]" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="[URL]" xmlns:v1="[URL]">
<faultcode>E2gError</faultcode>
<faultstring>abc</faultstring>
<detail><HNS:ROException>
[Code] .....
This is obviously a part of the FaultEvent object I get when the remote call fail, so I'm trying to access "T2gMsg" subnode values like this:
protected function onFaultEvent(e:FaultEvent):void {
var obj:Object = e.fault;
var err:XMLList = obj.element.detail.children()[0].children();
// now I have in err the "Messages" list, subnode of ROException,
// so I should cycle to read one message at time:
for each (var x:XML in err.children()) {
//?
}
How to read ID, Severity etc values. I think something like "x.ID" should work but it's not, while x.child("ID") or x.elements("ID") return null. What can I do?
