ActionScript 3.0 :: Attribute Only XML Not Coming Through To Flash?
Aug 19, 2010
'm building a very dynamic app in flash that gets all UI values from XML. Everything's been working fine and then I start having trouble accessing an XML object that only contains attributes. For some reason I can only get it to work if the XML object has content within the opening and closing object tags.Here's the basic AS3 code:
ActionScript Code:
this._uiXML = new XML(this._xml.elements('tag'));
I've also tried...

I have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.

I am having trouble parsing some xml that has a few attribute names with : characters in them. The compiler is not throwing any errors and when I trace my complete xml object out it is all there, however when I try to trace out any element or node it keeps comming up undefined. I removed the attribute names with : characters in them and everything works fine. I cant seem to target the attributes either to delete them.

I'm working on a Flash CS5/AS3 pre loader, and the bandwidth profiler is telling me that my frame 1 size is massive - about 850kb. Frame 2 is 128kb. This results in a white screen during the bulk of loading, followed by the brief and now-unecessary preloader, and then the rest of the swf.
I have a setup of two frames, the first being the preloader with the following code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, preLoad)
function preLoad(event:Event):void{
var bytestoLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
[Code].....
The .as file associated with the fla has tons of other information, a full game.
I've already gone through my library and on all the symbols with Linkage, unchecked the "Export in Frame 1". Also the pre-loader is small, only a text box and a shape.
How can I get more detail of it's loading in frame 1 so that I can move it to frame 2?

I have a flash app generating xml and it seems to just put the attributes for tags in a fairly random order. The problem is that I need them to be in a specific order because of circumstances outside my control. Is there a way to do this while still using the XML object and/or E4X? Or even XMLNode or XMLDocument? I'd really rather not have to resort to working with Strings.

I have an mp3 on my site that is loaded via an xml. I have an action on the xml that allows any song to be played first by assigning an attribute. However, I want another song to play when a selected button is pressed on the flash file. But I do not want to load a new xml, instead, I want to change it using an attribute. Any who, here is the code that is used to create a sound and play selected song.
//this function selects the music assigned with "musicnum" variable
selectmusic = function() {
//create a new sound variable
sound = new Sound();
//load the music
sound.loadSound(songs[musicnum].attributes.src, true);
//set volume

I have a Flash MP3 player that loads the song list from an XML file. I'm trying to set it up to take the customer to the online store to purchase the currently playing song. The player successfully loads the track name, artist name, and url to the song, but for some reason does not appear to the load the new attribute of buylink that I have just added. Given the code below, my buylink value is returned as undefined.

Is there a way to access the d:userLabel attribute in Flash Builder? I want to use a number of different files created from Illustrator -> Catalyst -> Flash Builder
Looks like this:
<fx:DesignLayer d:id="2" d:userLabel="A1">
<s:Rect d:userLabel="R_1" x="150" y="200" width="500" height="300" ai:knockout="0">
<s:fill><s:SolidColor color="0xffffff"/></s:fill></s:Rect>
<s:Rect d:userLabel="R_2" x="150" y="200" width="80" height="60" ai:knockout="0" >
</s:Rect>... </fx:DesignLayer>
Now the question:
Can I access the "userLabel" with a scriptfunction? Something similar to getElementByID? I want to change for example the fillcolor of a rect or path with that function. Because I have no id here I can't do something like:
R_1.fill = blue
And I don't want to manually change the files from Illustrator.

I have a tab button in a movieclip with 3 different states keyframed - popup, hover and up. I use the textfield on each state to show tab title - the problem is I cannot use the same position for the textfield on each keyframe, so I keyframed the textfield's position. And in both keyframes for the textfield it has an instance name tabText. And when I assign text to it - it changes on one keyframe only. How should I resolve this situation without adding the textfield programmatically?

Given the following XML code:

<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
[code]....
I want to be able to get the data contained in the "thumb" tags using the "name" attribute value of the parent tag as a selector, something like you would do in jQuery: $('set[name="pdf"]').find('thumb');Is there a method like this in Action Script 2 (can't use AS3)?

I'm working on a stand-alone application and NOT a web-based application, so I'm trying to do this strictly with AS3, if possible. For example, if I have an XML file that looks like this:
Code:
<profile>
<username>Joe</username>
<password>Smith</password>
</profile>
How do I change the value of the USERNAME attribute via AS3?
I've tried something like this already:
var xmlData:XML();
...
xmlData = XML(event.target.data);
xmlData.profile.username = "Mary";
but when I open the XML file, it's not writing "Mary" in place of "Joe."

I'm working with cart software called PinnacleCart. It's a pretty good system, I use it mainly because of the flexibility in the attributes fields, and our products require alot of customization. The obvious solution here is to add in a Flash customizer, to make it easier for prospective clients to see the changes being made to the items. Inside of the cart software I can select images to upload. I thought about stripping out the validation so I can upload .swf files (edit the product page php to embed if it's a swf file) and go from there.
Now here is the tough part, for usability reasons I want to remove all the actual attribute options - So the logic is simple, if SWF = true then don't display attributes. So, from here I assume when the person clicks 'add to cart' I need to run some javascript to grab the attributes from flash, assign them to the javascript attributes, then proceed as normal.

I am somewhat stuck on building a specific layout in AS3 with data coming from an XML file. And I really didn't expect any problems with layout in Flash.A while ago I built a Flex banner, but due to performance and size issues I want to rebuild it in Flash/AS3.[URL]..My flash file is already parsing the XML and I have all the data I need available. But right now I only show it as text in a htmltext field.After a long time of googeling around, it seems there is no way to achieve the layout with a "classic text" field. Can I do it with a TLF field? It does not look like it.
Can I do it with some displayContainer tricks maybe? I am pretty new to Actionscript, so I can only hope some of you experienced devs can help me with a few hints on this.How would you build it? For every entry I basically need a two column header (left side a image, right side text. all fixed height) below that goes a textfield of "variable" height. And then below that the next entry block, and so on. Just like in the Flex banner.
I found some frameworks, but they all want height values for all of the layout parts. Since I have a variable text height for each entry, I cannot use these frameworks. And because of size constraints I don't really want to use any framework if I can avoid it.
