I have this loop code that counts up the XML nodes and creates menu items for each node, that was taken from a tutorial. How can I have it so after 10 nodes it creates a new column setting them side by side? Moving them say 100px on the x axis? Here is the 1st part of the code done by a friend:

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
View 4 RepliesI'm struggling with. As the title suggests I'm trying to count certain nodes in an XML form using E4X. I could just assign a number and make my life a lot easier I guess but now I've started with this idea I'm adamant that I should get it to work. I'm working purely in the actions panel and just trying to trace the 'count' at the moment.[code]...

View 1 Replies i'm trying to make an xml menu but i'm stuck on this spot and just can't get around it.i have this xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu>[code]..........
And , as u can probably see, it's a menu with 3 buttons, and the middle one is supposed to have a submenu.I am looping through the menu items and it displays everything alright:
ActionScript Code:
var xml:XML = new XML();
var total:Number;[code]..........
What i can't figure out is the piece of code needed to count the nodes inside the <item> tag.
I want flash to return all the attributes from each node, including the node number. EG: trace(xmlObj.firstChild.childNodes.currentNode);Chicago would be 0 and new York XML:

The Alert keeps coming up as 1. I read in the documentation that this will happen with XML objects but it is working when I create the XMLList and counts the number of questions I have. The code is working except it is only rendering 1 RadioButton, very sad. I suppose I could put the number of options within the <options> tag but I'd rather do it dynamically to avoid errors.

View 1 RepliesI have an array being generated with numbers from an XML file. Then I have the function 'maxF' that returns the maximum number inside that array.

i have a products application that loads all the info from XML.The objective is to generate a image based menu that when an element is clicked is going to load css formatted text and a set of thumbnails. That set of thumbnails (that are specific from each product) are supposed to load the full images.My problem is that i'm ok until loading the thumbnails but i can't get to opening the full images when the thumbnail is clicked.

HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The main problem is when i try to set a name for every thumbnail and then use it in a function outside the main button click function. I tried also to load the thumbnails and put the for loop outside the main menu click function but also i can't get the correct node in the XML to load the images that should be loaded.

View 0 RepliesI'm trying to develope a simple elastic menu in AS3 but I have several problems because is difficult understand OOP when I come from AS2. I have a class named "menu" to create a vertical menu with n elements using a MovieClip from the library. It is linked properly as "base_primaria" and with MovieClip class as base class. Every element in the menu is in button mode and when is clicked calls a method (crearsub) to create a submenu.
I have another class named "submenu" that creates a submenu with n elements using a MovieClip from the library. It is linked properly as "base_secundaria" and with MovieClip class as base class. All the elements in the main menu must be relocated depending on the .y position and their .height. For that I'm using a method inside "menu" class named "posicionar". To animate the elements I use TweenLite. The first problem is I want to relocate all the elements through TweenLite and it is not working. Probably the "posicionar" function is wrong. The second problem is I want to click in one element from the main menu and it creates his own submenu. If there is one element with a submenu created, it must to disapear. All the elements must to relocate in real time in every click. Here the "menu" class code:

I have 10 dynamic text fields inside a movieclip, which are populated via an XML file. However, the xml file sometimes has less than 10 items. It never has more than 10. This results in the following error, which is normal. I need the code to count the amount of items in the XML file and then create a for-each loop. I can visualize it, but I don't know how to write it. Basically what I need the code below transformed in to is this... (notice the #'s)

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.

I need to add a couple menu items to an existing Flash menu that I did not create, but I am having trouble figuring out how to make the buttons stay highlighted until you click another one. Best way to simply describe my problem since is to simple show you. The first 5 links work exactly as they should. But the last 2 (Careers and Client login) do not stay go highlighted on the loaded page. [URL]

<Books><Book>

So, I load it into dropdown menu, label is what user sees in dropdown, data is url to swf and nextfile is url of the next swf on the list.

Is there a way to get a content of nextfile-node of this current Book only....If I trace myXML.Book.nextfile, I get a result:

I'm currently modifying an xml menu found in the kirupa tutorials and Ive gotten stuck. I want the menu to filter into different columns depending on a xml node called type="". So far I have this but I cant seem to get my head around how to filter the menu.
Code:
GenerateMenu = function (container, name, x, y, depth, node_xml) {
var currNode;
var currItem;
var currMenu = container.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);
[code]....
at the moment all I've tried to do is filter the menu with an if statement to only display the type node with "web" in them. As soon as I undestand how this is done I sohuld be albe to do the rest myself.
I'm creating an xml generated gallery/menu, I have the gallery and menu populating fine but my issue arises when I try to make the menu items clickable.
This is inside my populate menu function
_root["mainMenu"+[i]].onRelease = function() {
trace(this);
var splitThis:String = this
var splitThisArray:Array = splitThis.split("Menu");
trace(splitThis)
trace(splitThisArray[1])
};
Now the trace output I get is
_level0.mainMenu1
_level0.mainMenu1
undefined
Although when I set splitThis to "_level0.mainMenu1" manually I get "1" or whatever number comes after "Menu".
Why these menu items won't open the specified url's in the same window? (won't open them at all)
And why is there no hand cursor (like normally when you mouse over a link)?
See the .fla attached
Is it passible to hide swf menu items?

I am trying to learn how to add sub menu items to my main menu which is being generated using XML.
