ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Nodes With The Same Name And Flash
May 28, 2007
I have a simple search form on my site. It allows users to pull data from a database and then display that data. So the user would select the data set they want, a PHP script queries the database, and then puts that data into a XML file. This part is working fine. However I can not seem to get the data to display correctly in Flash. I tried the tutorial on this site for Flash and XML, and it works, but only displays one result. The problem I believe is that all the child nodes have the same tag. My XML file would look something like:
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.
ok, im about to pull ALL my hair out trying figure the tree model for accessing xml nodes in flash. just when i think i have it figured out...i don't.my XML file...
Basically I pulll xml data into flash and most comes in, but only the first set will show the name, after that it goes to "undefined". Secondly, I can't pull in the info.
Here is my XML. I have removed A LOT of what is actually in the XML file I am working with, for simplicity: PHP Code: <State><Center ID="BOCC"> <Dispatch><Log> <LogType>Traffic Collision - Ambulance Responding</LogType> [Code] .....
I need ONLY the text of the LogType's (FROM CENTER "BOCC" ONLY) to show up in a list component or trace the output.. doesn't matter.. I can formulate it myself.. I just need to only grab this specific data. I do not want to see any other results (e.g. from SOMEOTHERCENTER). Like show: Traffic Collision - Ambulance Responding Traffic Hazard Pedestrian On A Highway The actual file I'm working with (and can not alter) is [URL].
I've been following tutorials for reading in xml data, but I'm having trouble referencing the different nodes. In the following example I'm just trying to view.[code]No errors or anything.I don't get it. The xml loads in the first place, (trace(xml)), but I can't access the individual nodes.
this is supposed to return an XMLList of Groups anywhere in the xml. This works fine if I have more than one , but fails if there is only one .Am I wrong in my assumption that it should return one? I trace xml..Group.length() and it is 0, but the Group is definately in the xml.Any ideas on how you can get one or more Group nodes from my xml?
I'm using the weather.com web service to request current conditions for a location, and am parsing the current temperature, feels like temp and current condition icon to my Flash application. The Current Temperature and Feels Like Temperature nodes are nested within NowItems -> NowItem while WeatherToday is further along in the feed. I've written the following in AS3[code]...
I know this has been asked right before im doing it, but i have a slightly different problem. I have read all the tutorials and stuff out there, but i cant figure this out, call me stupid if you want i have an xml structure like this:
I have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names 2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name 3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.
Flash 8 duplicating movie clips and setting 3 nodes from XML. I am trying to read in an xml with 3 parameters; 2 links and one text field for a caption. What am I doing wrong this time?

I am trying to have "bMC" load into and repeater for however many XML props there are. within "bMC" are two MC's that on click would open window or grab file and One Text field which would load in caption. For some reason the "bMC" isnt even loading at all. Attached is the .Fla
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.
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'm fairly new to XML and Flash, and am having some trouble accessing some deeper nodes in the XML feed that I'm using for my project. See details below. I can access the headline fine, but it's anything below that - the timestamp and the excerpt that I'm having trouble accessing. For now, I'm just starting with the timestamp.[code]...
Is it possible to dynamically create child nodes of an xml file with flash??Im what i want to do is save a users name etc in an xml file without having to manually add nodes in.So when a user clicks a button to save their details a new
I'm trying to populate a datagrid via an external xml file. i'v gotten a good ways into it but have hit a stumbling block that i can't get past when it comes to using the child nodes to populate the datagrid.
How to find out that. Is any new child node is available in xml or not.this is the structure of xml:if i add any child node in the xml how can i find it in from actionscript
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?
