I am trying to call a functoin which will use the xml object to retrieve data and return the data to the function call. When I trace "test_var" inside the "book_xml.onLoad" functoin, it works. but I can pass the xml data out of the get_data function.

I've set up a holder flash file that checks an XML file every 30 secs, and if the content has changed loads a new movie into itself. I am getting mixed results and baffled why this is not working consistently - the XML is being read successfully, but the attributes that should be read from the XML are being returned as 'undefined' for some reason.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have the following code that is a part of an XML object in my actionscript. It fills a dynamic text field (which is buried in a few symbols) with text from the RSS feed.Problem is, one of the nodes on the RSS feed is empty. When it's empty, my text field returns 'undefined'. I've tried with the code below to specify if the text is 'undefined', then it should display something else, like HELLO for instance.
Code:
var news = newsNode.item[rssCounter].description.getValue();
if (news.htmlText == "undefined") {
_root.afterpreload.everything.ticker.newsmc.head.htmlText = "HELLO";
}else{
_root.afterpreload.everything.ticker.newsmc.head.htmlText = news;
}
I've had no luck, as the feed just plays as normal returning an 'undefined' whenever I get to the node with no data.
I've also tried...
Code:
if(news.htmlText == "") {
...but had no luck there either.
How would I go about creating a conditional statement that checks to see if all the needed data in a particular node is defined or else move on to the next node in the iteration? AS3 to move through the XML:

I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.

My Problem: I want to know the new node where the leaf was dropped. Actually i would have expected that in the event there is a property like dropParent. This is not the case.
I have a tree im my mxml that uses a XMLListCollection as dataProvider. Itīs XML is like:

How can I make the node for, say, id==4 visible AND selected?
i have a question whether we can create a new xml node in as3 node containing dynamic value inside.....

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
<gallery>
<collection title="Christmas 2004">

I've got some xml:

var imageID = new Image;

I'm creating a registration form that contains a 'chain-select' series of ComboBoxes. In other words, select an item in the first CB and display the results from a mysql query in the next CB.
PHP returns the results in an XML String (Code: Select allecho "returnXML="$returnXML; ). All is working great up to that point. What I would like to do is loop through the Code: Select allXMLList, running Code: Select alldataP.addItem({label: newData}); for each node. The problem is that the Code: Select allXMLList.length(); function is returning a value of 1.
Code: Select allxmlList.hasComplexContent() returns 'true' which, i believe, would indicate that the XMLList is being created successfully.
Here's a bare-bones version of the code that should be sufficient for solving this problem.
AS3:
Code: Select allimport flash.net.*;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var dataP:DataProvider = new DataProvider();
var newData:String;

I think I have the recursion working properly, but I'm not able to get the originally requested item's property set to the right value.The goal here is to find the topmost parent (or "ancestor," depth = 0) of the nested item (a taxonomy based on Dictionary "parent" attributes), and assign that originally requested nested item's "ancestor" property accordingly.For instance, in
Apples
- Red
- - Empire
- - - Fresh
"Fresh"'s ancestor should be set to "Apples." While I'm attempting this on an "on-demand" and individual basis, I'm open to a solution that tags all children that are related to the same ancestor in one fell swoop or for statement, since that would probably be more efficient.
REQUEST
for (var mc:Object in taxonomy) {
var term = taxonomy[mc];[code]....
As you can see, while the recursion does find the root, the originally requested item still gets the default value.
im having problems getting some as3 generated (not drawn on stage) movie clips moving across the screen.

The more I get into haXe and cpp the more I'm wondering this about as3. Iteration in as3 is easy in comparison to those languages. But if Array extends Object, overriding getters and setters to create what's basically an IntHash<string> or map<int,string>, and which only takes an int as a key, then why shouldn't the key iterator also return an int? Why does it return a string?
View 5 RepliesFor some reason I'm unable to output the time returned by the php. This code is on my website and viewrs from different countries see different times.
[Code]...
If an AS3 method returns a reference to a complex type, is there any way to make that 'readonly', like how you can have const member functions in C++? An architecture I want to use calls for a class building itself from a passed template object... and really the template object should not be modifiable. I'm currently forced to add call-back enumerators and/or lots of extra accessor methods.

i've been playing around with coldfusion for the past couple of days. I can make database queries within coldfusion components and call them in flash via flash remoting.what I can't seem to get my brain around is how do I use what is returned from a database to populate a menu (i.e.-attach movie clips based on rows from the database)?How can you do this without the structure found in XML? I know how to do that with Flash (looping through nodes, etc.)without the nodes, what the heck do you loop through? Do i need to use cold fusion to build some kind of structure first? if so does anybody know of a good tute or know how to do it and can explain the very basic concepts involved?
View 3 RepliesI have four movieclips on the stage. They can be dragged around. I have a class that creates a segment from two points, and returns the x-intercept, y-intercept, slope, and inverse slope of a linear function going through the two points.On every enterFrame() i create one segment for each pair of points, then the information is displayed in a bunch of dynamic text boxes.
The Problem: whichever object is sent over last overwrites the data from the first. I am creating two different objects with different names, but the first is being overwritten by the second. What is going wrong here?
FLA included. But you will need to make this class file:

class Seg {

Login Form: I send Login and Password from Flash to PHP. PHP accepts those values, checks them against the database, and then... returns something weird to flash. Instead of just returning "true" (if the password is correct) or "false" (if the password in not correct), PHP returns one of those values AND whatever comes after that value, including even the closing PHP tag ?> .... I know it because I trace the returned value in Flash. I need your help with my scripts. This is my Flash button, sending the values to PHP.

I'm using a Text Field component to pass the parameter (in this case a 'word') and a Text Area component is bound to the result (the 'definition').This works because the result is a String (which displays correctly when returned to the Text Area obviously). Now, I want to receive an Array as the result instead of a simple String. No surprise, the Array isn't displayed correctly in the Text Area..... it simply says "[object Object]". Can't do much with that....How can I receive this web service "result" in useful form? Can I use AS2 to set the value of an Array variable as the result from the web service (once it's finished)? If so, what's the syntax? FYI: I already know how to tell when the web service is done, just need the syntax for binding an Array variable to the result of the web service.
