so i have ignoreWhite set to true and am trying to get textual data out of an xml node. my node looks like so:<description>this is a description</description>so i navigated to the node with the following variable:var descriptionNode:String = newsXML.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes[i].childNodes[2];and it gives me the output when i trace it with the node and the description in it. but i don't need the node, i need the text only, so i tried to add a nodeValue at the end of that and it output as null. why am i brainfarting right now and can't figure out how to output just the text and not the text AND the node?
When I try to get some text from a node into a textfield by using .nodeValue I get 'null'. When I use nodeType on that node the result is "1". I understand that a textnode should result in value "3". But how come this isn't the case here?
I read Senocular's tutorial on XML and found it really useful. But I still have a problem: When I try to get some text from a node into a textfield by using .nodeValue I get 'null'. When I use nodeType on that node the result is "1". I understand that a textnode should result in value "3". But how come this isn't the case here? My xml looks like:
i am having with xml being displayed in flash mx.the tutorial on this site works fine, but when i write my own xml file and modify the as, i encounter the problems. ideally, i wolud like to be able to load text files and urls of images to be loaded into flash, flash recognises the xml file fine and actually loads it, however, when i try to use the nodeValue action, i am always given the value "null." this is because flash thinks the node is an element rather than a text node (type 1 rather than 3, when you use nodeType.) i don't know why it does this when it is obviously a text node.
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:
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.
At this point I when I run the movie I get the index which is basically a number, but I want the label associated with that number.
In the XML file, there's an attribute called data, I want the segment2.swf to load when the user selects the option. I have a loader component also on stage, I just want the user selection to be as input to the content path of the loader.
I've modified the xml photo gallery from the tutorial on this site to include a thumbnail scroller, the previous and next buttons to loop around, and added links to the images so that a pdf will pop up if the image is clicked for the images that have pdfs with the help of this forum.
I'm trying to incorporate a dynamic text box that says "Click on image below to view PDF" only for the images that have a pdf to click on and not for those that don't have a pdf linked. Therefore I've set up XML nodes that say "Click on image below to view PDF" and others that are empty or "undefined" for the ones that don't have a pdf linked.
Right now it's almost there. The key lines in the code below I think:
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a list of all HTML (and XHTML) tags that are supported with externally loaded CDATA text? I have a client who's running into rich text editor issues using a <strong> tag instead of, say, <b> tags, and I'd like to have a solid list of supported tags they can use.
Completely at a loss for words...it is there in the xml file. The XML throws no errors. And yet when I try to access the CDATA section it says that its null. What does that mean? Here is my test source, and the link to the location of the XML doc (its a hard coded link in the AS).
I'm building a gallery under flash mx 2004. I use an xml file to store the description about each painting that has to be displayed with the picture related to it.
I've spend hours searching for a way to put one paragraph of text in one tree node in Adobe flex. How can I do it? I created a simple tree view but the text is cut after the right border.
So I tried to create a tree renderer. In the renderer I specified width=100 and the text wrapped. But the height of the nodes was not being calculated properly, so the text over consecutive nodes overlapped and got messed.
Having to do some as2 with an ancient system, and am far from fresh on it. I've managed to bungle my way through most of it, but I've hit a strange logic problem.
How can I create a for loop so I can use different values of the same node? So I want to count the "<Text>" nodes of the XML and use their different values on different dynamic textfields. Note that I have mutliple Movieclips on the stage with the same amount of textfields and I would like to include them in the loop, so I named them mc1 mc2 etc.
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'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.
