View 2 RepliesI have a tree im my mxml that uses a XMLListCollection as dataProvider. Itīs XML is like:
<list>
<conta nome="Plano de Contas" id="1">
<conta nome="Creditos" id="2" />
<conta nome="Vendas" id="4" />
[code]....
How can I make the node for, say, id==4 visible AND selected?
How can I know the label of diferent node names parsing xml? I'm using something like
this is the xml structure
<bd>
<tabela label="design"/>
<familia label="familias"/>
<tabela label="produtos"/>
</bd>

Does anyone know of a trick to ignore upper/lower/camelcase on XML node names and attributes?A quick example: I give an XML file to my client which contains an XML attribute named fooID but the client could change the XML, and - not being aware of upper/lowercaseness change or add an attribute under 'fooid'. Naturally my parser (in AS3) would ignore the all lowercase attribute. Note that the value contained in fooID isn't the problem here but the attribute name itself.

In flex/actionscript 3, I can call node.attribute("somename") and get the value of the "somename" atribute of the node. I can also call node.attributes() and get the VALUES of ALL the attributes. But how the heck do I know what attributes to look for?! The application I am creating does not know the format of the XML file in advance. I need a way to know the NAMES of the attributes of the nodes, before I can access them by name!
The e4x implementation in as3 doesn't seem to be able to handle node names that have dashes in them. The musicbrainz api returns xml with a node named artist-list and i can't seem to get it to let me access the node.[code]...
View 2 RepliesGiven an XML object: <column label="Name" datafield="userName" width="70" />, how do I extract the NAME of the properties rather than the values, e.g. ["label", "datafield", "width"]?
ActionScript Code:
for (var pname:* in column.@*)
{
trace(pname);
}
Returns "0", "1", "2", and "for each" returns "Name", "userName", "70".
What I really want is "label", "datafield", and "width", hopefully without the overhead of actually parsing the xmlString.
i was searching for the solution all over the internet but could not find the way to solve this problem . I have a loop in which i want to assign one property value ( in this case value of several numeric stepper components) to one array spot. Unfortunetaly i cant figure out how to change the property name acording to number of the loop. Here is an example.
Code:
hours0.value = 5;
hours1.value = 6;

I have an AS3 ResultEvent Object and this object has several propeties which can be accessed by this like:event.result.name or event.result.age and, I have this String variable: eventProperty:String that contains "name" or "age" How do I access to event.result. with the variable?
I used this call: "dataXML.APARTADO.APARTADO1.text()[j]" to acces the second level items in a XML loaded file in a for loop.Is there a way to substitute the APARTADO1 level for a variable?What I want is to access APARTADO1, APARTADO2... in the XML file with a variable. I have tried to substitute it by a variable string but it returns "null". I don't know why. If you need more information I can attach my code.
View 9 RepliesI have a dynamic class that I have created
public dynamic class SiteZoneFileUploadVO
{
public var destination:String = "sitezone";[code]...........
when I try to iterate over this object's property names it only iterates the dynamically added properties.
parameters.dynVar= "value";
for(var name:String in parameters)
{
Even though the object has all the properties equal to a value (ive checked this in the debugger) the only property name that will be traced is dynVar.How can I iterate over all the property names and not just the dynamically added ones?
I need to create variable object property names for use with the data grid component.
This works: data = new Object(); data.some_name = "the data";
But this does not: data = new Object(); colName = "some_name"; data[colName] = "the data";

I have 2 attributes of screen node which are title and tasks. how can I access these 2 attributes at the same time in AS3 Is that correct: excel.chapter.screen.(@title == "lesson").@tasks
I'm trying to access an XML file (that I cannot rewrite) in Flash.

I can access the first "title", but I can't get to the node nested in <item>. What am I missing?

I consider myself quite effiicient at actionscripting (ok not a guru) to have such problems by mistake.Anyway, my problem is that i am trying to access an MC through a buttons on rollover & rollout actions. So, the button and the MC are BOTH on the same timeline and stage, on the SAME movie clip, and they both have keyframes at the same frame. However, whenever i try to use something like
on (rollOver) {
McInstanceName.dothat;
}
[code].....
Im trying to make my buttons work.. but Im getting this error message when I click on my buttons any help will be appreciated.....
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property names not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value.
at onewaywesite_fla::MainTimeline/clickSection()
I have a folder full of SWF files. Each SWF is its own animation. I have several people submitting their animations for this project. I would like to embed all these SWF's into my project and use .play() .stop() and other movieclip related commands on them as a whole. By this I mean, the artist sends me the SWF, my AS3 script embeds it, then I can access it with say animation_1.stop(); without the artist ever having to enter a instance name, or export for ActionScript name.
I plan to create a shell script which will take all the swf's in a folder and create a AS3 file with all the embed statements. The instance name that will be given to each one by the shell script will be the file name. Is this possible to embed a SWF and access it without giving any movie clips instance names or exporting for Actionscript? UPDATE: @annonymously answer below helped a lot. Here are some other resources that helped me: Great Resource - [URL]
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.
[Code]...
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 question whether we can create a new xml node in as3 node containing dynamic value inside.....
as like if i want to get like..var newNode:XML = <IMAGE FULL="fullimages/3.jpg"THUMB="thumbnails/3.jpg"/>
where the images are dynamic values...
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>

I've got some xml:
var xmlData:XML =
<1stNode>
<buttonID>first child node value</buttonID>
[Code]....
Then I want to read specific node value based on a value passed to a function. .
var buttonID = new Button;
var imageID = new Image;
var labelID = new Label;
[Code]....
I'm don't know how to get the value when node name is dynamically changed.
just trying to get straight how this works. Say I create some XML like so:
ActionScript Code:
var sample:XML = <sample>
<items>

I know there are a number of posts dealing with this issue. But, I'm still not understanding it.I keep getting a "1120: Access of undefined property CSSloader." in the following script:

View 2 RepliesI have an app where I am wanting to use some movieclips when clicked on to remove the current movieclip and add a new movieclip. My problem seems to be that whenever I refer to the homeArtist_mc movieclip I get an error.
For example on line 50 in my actionscript I have
homeArtist_mc.buttonMode = true;
And I get this error
1120: access of undefined property homeArtist_mc.

Here's the context of the problem, in which I will try to include as much information as possible while keeping the explanation brief.
I am trying to make a portfolio website (architectural design + concept art). Flash / programing are not my focus and this is my first go at learning the software. Due to the nature of the content and my (lack) of ability in AS3, I want the the coding to be really simple and still let the site look good. The way the site is currently structured:
1) Basic menu buttons that navigate to sections of the site (brings up a new page).
2) Example, clicking on <Graphics> takes you to a new page and a sub-menu animates in (simple motion tween for the buttons to cascade down). This animation is a movie clip placed on the main timeline.
3) On the screen is also a slideshow for all the images within <Graphics>.Instead of multiple small slideshows, I combined them all into one, so as to avoid complications with add / remove from stage. There are prev / next buttons that keep images within their sub section (ie 1->2->3->1). The sub-menu buttons are suppose to link to the start of each sub section, much like chapters on a DVD. (The slideshow is a movieclip sub-nested in the menu movieclip).
