I have a xml like so:
<job>
<title/>
<items>
<item>
[Code]....
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.
I develop a piece of code that brings me to an xml, all Nodes i use this code:
for(var i=0; i< menu_xml.childNodes.length; i++){
corrent_node = menu_xml.childNodes[i].length;corrent_item.action = corrent_node.attributes.action;corrent_item.variables = corrent_node.attributes.variables;corrent_item.name.text = corrent_node.attributes.name;
[code]....
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.

I have a list of items in a database as well as images in a directory folder. I am looking for a flash app that can pull from the database to display the info and also the images and scroll this info vertically with associated links. I need to change this for each client by adding their unique "ID" in the code so their information pulls in correctly.
View 1 RepliesI have been failing to do a thing with Flash actionscript2.0; Here is the problem-
My xml file name is: sea.xml On my fla file, there is a button named: do; and a movieClip named: loader;
What I am trying to do is- load xml only when the button is pressed. So I tried this-
myXML:XML = new XML;
do.onRelease = function(){
myXML.load("sea.xml");
}

I am building a userinterface for some industrial instruments which output some data to a XML spreadsheet. This is the only way I can retreave these data's from the instruments.
Now, I need to make a flash that can pull out these data's from ex. "A1" and "A2" in this spreadsheet...

I have a quick question that I am not 100% sure on. In my program I need flash to recognise if the object it is pulling in from XML is an: image/sound/mvie or animation. In XML the tag looks like this:
Code:
<mult_file type= "image" alt="alt text">intro.jpg</mult_file>.what I need flash to do is read the file type of it - I know how to put nodes in but how would I get it to find the type?
I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;
Here is my code..the resizeBlog function is where I am trying to resize it and then I want to adjust its y property accordingly.

now i've got all the records of value $card (lets say 8 for this instance) pulled into this php page, how would i go about loading them into flash with loadVars()? for the record names, i used this line to originally insert them:
PHP Code:
$result = mysql_query("INSERT into ecard (fname, femail, tname, temail, message) values ('$fromName', '$fromEmail', '$toName', '$toEmail', '$message')");
I'm currently looking to use Flash to pull in two separate media files and to play them at the same time. From what I know about Flash, it's certainly possible to play two files, but is it possible to play files without embedding them in the Flash file?
View 3 RepliesWhen a flash player is being hosted on https server, can I pull content to play on it from an http server. Would this work or give a mixed content warning or some other problem?
View 2 RepliesHere's my problem. I currently have a Flash banner on my website that displays artwork I have made. However, it currently just shows jpegs that are embedded into the Flash file. Is there a way that I can set up a directory in my domain and just have the flash file pull these external images, at random to display? Also, it should be noted that it shouldn't pull the same image twice. That would look silly I would make the files all the correct resolution and size, so resizing is not an issue. I know you can do this sort of thing with javascript, but I want more control and a more stylish appearance.
View 1 RepliesI am a pretty big newb- my challenge is get a flash page to look to a database and check for updates constantly (in the realm of 1update/second) then pull new data as it is added.

Got a client that says that Flash ( a panel that is pulling information from a database and simply displaying it in text field.) is not working in IE7. I told them that this is impossible as Flash is completely crossbrowser compatible. Am I missing something?? Is it a possibility?

in Flash using as3 how can i filter an xml by node suppose that the xml has group node like below and i want the items where group=category1
View 1 RepliesI 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:

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.
View 3 Repliesthis 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 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.
