ActionScript 3.0 :: Append XMLList And Element Function
Apr 8, 2009
I have an XMLList:
Code:
var contentList:XMLList = loadedXML.someNode.elements(nodeFromNavElement);
Where "nodeFromNavElement" is a var being passed from a movie clip the user clicks on. That all works fine. The user is now in a particular section of the Flash app, and the content being pulled from the XML corresponds to the section. If the user clicks another movie clip (or navigation element, the content needs to update.
I need to get another node within the current node, like this:
Code:
var contentList:XMLList = loadedXML.someNode.elements(nodeFromNavElement).elements(nextNodeFromNavElement);
But I'm trying to append to the XMLList... something like:
Code:
var contentList:XMLList = loadedXML.someNode.elements(nodeFromNavElement) + .elements(nextNodeFromNavElement);
Which obviously doesn't (and shouldn't) work.
I have an XMLList 'Keywords', which consists of about 30 elements. I want to count the number of unique keywords in the List, and how often they occur. Then display the top 3 most occuring keywords.
Basically, since XMLList are similar to Arrays in many ways, I was wondering if I could do something like:
XMLList.length = 10;
I know this is not possible because 'length' in XMLList is not a property but is a method. Hence is something like a get method without a set method. Only XMLList.length() would work.
I recently had to tell a client that I didn't want to work on their project because I was unclear about something. When you append a recording from a stream does the metadata get updated correctly after the append? I've worked with metadata before and from my recolection anytime a .flv was changed I had to manually update the metadata.
What I'm trying to do is have a website where there are menu buttons on the sides and when you Mouse Over any of the buttons, the picture in the middle changes. Ideally I'd like to set it up so that the image in the center stays until the next button is touched and then it is removed and replaced with another button. Now I could manage this inside the timeline, but it would take a very long time so I'm trying to figure out how to do this with AS3.This first bit of code I used was as follows:
After loading and parsing external xml, has any one ever been able to make a function that returns your XMLList? I'm asking because I'm trying to change to scope of the data into a global variable for use.
var pngloader:URLLoader=new URLLoader(); var pngxml:XML; var thumbslist:XMLList;[code].....
I'm looking to add an element to this function to make my text fade. On (release) of my 'biog' button this function starts. But also I need my text on the page to fade from 100 to 0 on release, before this function begins. I've tried applying code that I have but can't get it to wrk. Not sure how these functions work exactly and no matter how much reading I do I can't get this right.
I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?
I have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
I've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().
Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I'm using a for loop to creat a bunch of identical movie clips I want to attach a different sound to each one of these clips. Is there a way to append a variable onto the end of another variable name. (ie. where i = [0,1,2,3,4,etc] variable[i] = variable0, variable1,variable2,variable3,variable4,etc.) below is the part of the code that I am trying to get working:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < xmlData.object_count; i++){ //create movie clips var boxContainer_mc:boxContainer = new boxContainer();
I'm writing an XML preferences file for an Adobe AIR project, and I'd really like to include XML comments. How does one append a comment to XML? The following doesn't work (the file just ends up with a blank line where the comment should be):
ActionScript Code: var prefs:XML = new XML(); prefs.ignoreComments = false;
What I would like to do is simply add to a dataProvider, but when I do, I get an error. Here's the code I'm trying to run...
dg.dataProvider.addItem(obj.ResultSet.Result[i]);
It's inside a for loop, using i as the integer. It works great doing...dg.dataProvider = obj.ResultSet.Result But that won't work for me, because I need to add to the dataprovider more than once. I'm getting results in batches of 10, and I need to add each batch to the dataProvider when it's received. I also tried to to do...
var dgDP:dataProvider = new dataProvider(); But for some reason Flex doesn't recognize it...
I need to append 4 letters to my variable name when referencing it to get either spanish or english XML data. I am trying to reuse my functions without writing an if statement.
like so:
//two options for var spa_my_videos:XMLList; var eng_my_videos:XMLList;
Is there a way to append an object that has already been created: CODE: userobject; userobject = {uname:username, uage:so.data[username].age} What if I wanted to add a phone property?
I have a flvplayer assigned to the id player and I am trying to set buffer times for videos I have embedded in an array, I understand how to pull the information from my array and have that value be set intoplayer.setBufferTime(value);but when ever I call that command it gives me the error1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setBufferTime through a reference with static type fl.video:FLVPlayback. player.setBufferTime(1);
I am using adobe dvrcast to record my live streams. the problem I am having is when I stop the encode during a live stream, a new file is not created, the existing stream is written over. How can I preventive this from occuring. Is there a way to have all vod files that are in one folder to roll over to the next file during play back.
I am using this method to fix the Active Content issue,[URL]but now I have come across a situation when I have to append the end of the .swf. EG: Active content fix script. It does not use the extension .swf
Due to the target website restriction, it only accepts swf file, and I want to pass parameter to this, So I post http:[url]............pass the file parameter this way, and This worked before, But now it doesn't, Where do I do wrong?
I need to append MIDI files: leave header (same for all files) and other meta information, just copy music/score part. I already have MIDI files in appropriate bytearrays, as I guessed I need to use writeBytes, but unfortunately couldn't find which bytes I need to take and copy. Something like this:
var newFileBytes:ByteArray=new ByteArray(); newFileBytes.writeBytes(firstMIDIBytes); newFileBytes.writeBytes(secondMIDIBytes,8);
Works only partially, file is playable; first part fully and second - only some notes (then player hangs out)
To say truth byteArrays aren't my strong side, as the MIDI file structure.

I am a newbie in flash and action script. I have a AS2 code which fetches the images and their URLs from a XML file and shows all of those images.I need to append my own images in those images however from the script itself therefore from Flash. I don't want to add that image in the XML.
