Goal: load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. Problem: I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML.onLoad function.

I have three dynamic text boxes. variables respectively
(caption0,caption1,caption2).
My xml file is structured as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<captions>
<caption>Roll over this</caption>
<caption>This is the first Caption.</caption>
<caption>This is the second Caption.</caption>
</captions>
I am trying to create a rollover where when you rollover caption0; caption1 and caption2 are displayed in sequence. Everything works except though only the first caption is ever displayed. For the other two I get "level0.caption1" and "level0.caption2" instead of the text in the xml file above. How do I parse the data so that each of the variables are assigned the text in the xml file?
I'm trying to assign values to my array. Here is what I have so far.

View 3 Repliesi've been reading that XML/E4X is very slow with AVM2 / ActionScript 3.when supplying an application with XML data, is it always generally a better idea to parse the XML object into an array of objects to call rather than using E4X with the stock XML data?

For example i want to pick up all the title values within each item of the RSS feed and place that in a designated label.

I am making a component is AS3, every thing is working great ...except for my Array. I need an Array (or collection?) that has 2 data values. So when you goto the component inspection panel and click the array, the data provider gives you 2 options. Not just the one defaultValue.
Like this:
I am looking to end up with this as the Array data:
trace (myArray) //OUTPUT
[{path: "search.png", label: "One"},
{path: "search.png", label: "Two"},
{path: "search.png", label: "Three"},
{path: "search.png", label: "Four"},
{path: "search.png", label: "Five"},
{path: "search.png", label: "Six"}]
I am trying to plot a line chart/graph from values in an array which obtains its values from an XML file. My code does work to an extent, but as an Array can only contain a limited number of elements (I think it is 255 maximum - but I could be wrong), and the data in the XML exceeds the maximum limit of the Array, I was wondering if there is an alternative method of plotting the graphs from data in XML.

I'm making a portfolio, it has a large amount of images, one by work, (maybe there are 25) and they are put in a horizontal band, the images all have the same height, but not he same width, and they load an external MC of each work.So I want to create an array storing all this values, _width, and MC to load.
Secondly I have a frame like a stroke of the picture, the frame is in the center of the band of images, and there are two arrows, one to move on the band to the left, and other to the right. The thing is that when I push the arrow the band must move 15 px on left or right, and te frame must adapt (with easing) to the _width of the image.And one more thing, there will be many many images in a future, so I would like that a user if it's holding the left or the right arrow for a medium/long time it could make the band of images to go faster from one to another. I think it's so simple of changing the speed of the movement, what I don`t kwow is how to know if the button is pressed for a long-meidum time.
I'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:[code]does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean).Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? Ideally "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.
View 1 RepliesI'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.
If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:
static function test(foo:int):void
{
trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
it works as expected (output: 17 number).
However, calling apply(null, ["false"]) or apply(null, ["0"]) with this function:
static function test(foo:Boolean):void
{
trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean). Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.
I'm trying to make my portfolio XML-driven. What I'm trying to do is similiar to a photogallery. The difference is that I want "sub pictures" to every item in the gallery. Example: If I click on a project name in the portfolio an image should appear. Then I want to be able to browse between different images within that project. When I click on a another project a different set of pictures will be loaded.My XML file looks as exemplified below. What I'm having troubles figuring out how to do is getting the array right.I want to access the data something like this:
imageArray[0].path[1] would return "http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg"
imageArray[0].title returns "Title A"
I fail to parse the XML into an multidimensional array like this..
<images><item title="Title A"><pic path="http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg">
<desc>First A picture</desc>
</pic>[code].....

Is there anyway where I can pass the Array values (not the array collection values) to the Bar charts or column charts using flex 3.5...
here is the thing i want:::
I have array values like this,,

and i want to show these values on the Yaxis and months on Xaxis....
I have two Qns,
1) how can I pass this array to Bar chart or column chart.
2) how do I need to show months on Xaxis. beacuse I'm asking this regarding, I have kept a filters that even if we want to see some months or a particular months or perticalar span of months... there on Xaxis it need to change the months dynamically depending on the filters..... (for ex, on Xaxis the values should be (Jan, Apr, Jun,Oct) if i select the 3 months period filter....)
I have written a logic to collect the values of those particular months into an array, but not understading how to pass this array to Bar chart,, beacuse there I don't know what Xfield and Yfield to be given....

So I'm coding a maze in Flash using ActionScript 2.0. I'm using a 2D array and with that I will give each point a value, either 1 or 2. I then plan to use modulo and an if else statement to pull a brick movie clip from my library. Here's what I've coded so far with the 2D array. This is my first time using this array and I'm unsure wwether I have coded this correctly. how do I use this array now to assign the values of 0 and 1?

Im using tree component and XMLConnector here.as far as i can see results in my tree (when testing my movie) it ouputs data thats loaded fom ext. XML file.But the problem is that it publishes [type Function] in the tree. no actual xml nodes are visible, just bunch of [type

If you have a function that accepts a parameter of Point type, how do you assign a default value?
PHP Code:
setPosition(position:Point =(0,0)){
}
I tried (0,0), (x:0, y:0) {x:0, y:0} and none worked... anyone know the correct way?

I am creating a flash money game in which you have to drag coins onto an area to add upto a certain amount and then you click a button to see if you are correct.
I'm really confused on how to assign values to each coin, a value to the area you are dragging the coins onto and how to add these up when they enter the area. Then once the button is clicked for it to check that the value matches that of the value you are adding up the coins to.
I thought the higher the depth number the closer to the viewer it was? I have created a movie which pulls back info from a database, on the original movie, once all the data was loaded, I created the required number of dynamic text boxes on the _root and everything worked perfectly. I then decided that I would need to display other information on other movie clips. So I decided to turn the movie into a movie clip, so that I could create other movie clips and load these as needed. I created a new blank movie, attached a blank movieclip (depth 0) as a container for the movie clips that will hold the different data.
I then used attachMovie(depth 1) to attach the original movieclip, which holds the database info. I then changed the original movie, so that it would create the text boxes in this movie clip(depth 3), so that when I decided to load another movie, I don't have to clear up text boxes on the root. When I run the movie, I get the background image for the data movie clip, but I don't see the text. I used trace to make sure that the text boxes were being created and the text values were assigned and they are. So why can't i see the text?

Given a dynamic or non-dynamic class like the following:
package {
public class MyClass {
public var myProperty:String;
public var myBooleanProperty:Boolean;
public function MyClass() {}
}}
Flex 3 allows you to assign a value to myProperty like this:
myClassInstance["myProperty"] = "myValue";
myClassInstance["myBooleanProperty"] = true;
I regularly parse XML to get property names and their values then update correlated classes using this technique; however, Flex 4 no longer allows assigning the boolean property. I don't have a work-around.
If you trace the results:
trace(myClassInstance.myProperty) // Returns "myValue"
trace(myClassInstance.myBooleanProperty) // Returns null
I am making a basic graphics program in Flex 3 and I am wondering how to parse data into drawings on the stage, but I'm just trying to figure out how it would work.
