clarify what that "querying" end part of this XMLList is doing? I'm actually still quite new to using XML (I have been trying to avoid it)
Code:
var data:Array = [];
data = data.concat(parse(_xml.factory.metadata.(|>@name == "*")));

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.
View 1 RepliesIs anyone aware of a clever way to query (in AS3) an .xml file so that when the .xml file changes (as the result of an Access query in this case) the AS3 application (Google Maps API) refreshes using the new .xml data?
View 3 Replies trying to create an AS3 script in order to use an ASP page which can connect and get data from a MS SQL Server 2008 database.I only need to check one DB entry, from my Flash SWF, to see if a user is already registered in a companion Learner Management System (LMS). If the user has already registered, the LMS would have sent his/her name to the MS SQL database (can not be re-configured to write to MySQL, which would be easier using PHP). So, I would need to user middleware like ASP so that the Flash AS3 can call the middleware script which can query the DB.
I found a good ASP script for setting up a MS SQL DB query at:[URL] (without DSN version). (I would need to add some way in this ASP page to get an array of registered users' name returned.)The help I need is with the AS3 in the Flash SWF that can call the ASP page and get back the user name. Then a check (with user input of their name in a dynamic text box):if it is in the returned DB table array, then 'thank you for registering.' And the registered user can proceed to frame 2. If not, 'please register using the LMS at [URL] like that.
I have been struggling with trying to interface with SQLite and Adobe AIR. I am using the Flex 4 SDK with AIR 2.0. I modified code from a tutorial by David Tucker on InsideRIA ([URL]). I am writing in FlashDevelop (which I suppose could be my problem), and I can compile and run the app. The issue is that when I go to search the db file, I always get some error which results in the 'BREAKER' trace (ie - the 'queryError' function is called). I have tried simply running the SQL command on the db and it works fine, so there is an issue somewhere in the way Flex or AIR is handling my query (or obviously I could have made a mistake in coding).

I have instantiated a class (class1) that loads some data via PHP in an AS3 Flex project.I instantiate class1, which is asynchronous and utilizes a URLLoader() to obtain its data.Then I would like to instantiate class2, which needs to USE the data from class1, but when I simply instantiate it I find that class1's instance variable is not populated yet because I am calling class2 too quickly.How can I create such a dependency that will link correctly?I am really new to using listeners, but I am imagining a listener in class2 might be what I need?Or maybe I can pass a reference to the listener in class1 into class2?I also know nothing about dispatching events... is this the key?Here's an example in pseudo code:
var class1:myC1 = new myC1("http://some/url/to/utilize");
//this never shows up because it hasn't loaded at the time i request it
trace("the stuff from class1 is: ", class1.myXMLList);

however movie is playing without stopping to "Listen" for a Mouse CLICK. Images placed at frame 10 and 20 should appear only when CLICK'd.

xmlList is alive and well in the xmlLoaded function. I need to access it in the loadMusic.fla.
difference between XML and XMLList in my example code? I am passing a node to the function and extracting the url of the file:

for(var i:uint=0; i<node.children().length(); i++) {
trace("Test 1: "+node.children()[i].@id);

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?
I am trying to parse some XML i have retrieved via e4x in an HTTPService. The loop works and for each episode in the list it goes through the loop. However i get the following error when it is trying to append to an XMLList.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I am trying to query the local SQLite database and see if the episode exists (working) and if it does append to one xmllist and if not then append to the other xmllist.

How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?
View 2 RepliesMy Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
I am working with an XML list at the moment, which looks like this:
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="3"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="4"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="5"/>

I'm trying to loop through an XMLList and rather than giving me each item in the list as XML, it's just coming back with the positions as strings e.g.
[Code]...
It just alerts "0" or "1". If I inspect the 'item' variable, I see the same thing. But if I inspect 'myList' it looks like the XML. I've also tried myList.children() and strongly typing 'items' to 'XML' but nothing I do has worked.
What I want to do is loop through an xml file, and assign the contents of each node to a static variable with the same name. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI have this xml file.[code]But I want these node names, example: element,attribute,element in arrayList.[code]
View 1 RepliesThe aim is to get the flat xmllist out of a xml: each item of the xmllist would be a descendant (not just child) of the xml. This way I have all the nodes of an xml inside the xmllist.
For example:

<b >
<b1/>

View 5 RepliesI'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.

So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
I have a problem with XML filtering. [code]If there is only one result, trace is empty. If there are 2 results or more, they will be traced fine. Is it because one result is not an XML 'list'? If so, how do I get the results if there is only one match?
View 2 RepliesI have this XMLList:
<content> <TextFlow color="#000000" columnCount="2"> <p>One</p></TextFlow> </content>
I need to get <textFlow> as an XMLList and as String.
If I have an XMLList object in Flex, what is the proper way to check to see if the list is empty? Should I just compare the result of myList.length() > 0, myList.toString() != "" or try another method altogether?

I want a | b/c nodes returning i.e. I want an XMLList containing a's and c's but without the b's...
I am doing databinding on the xml so don't want to create a new root and add the children in two steps.
I've a XMLList like:
<parent>
<one>
<child id="1" />
<child id="2" />
[Code]....
Where the _loc_1 would be "one" or "two". Is this possible with the getDefinitionByName() to do this?
Is there an XMLList equivalent to Array.indexOf?
For example -
var array:Array = ['one','two'];
trace(array.indexOf('two')); // returns 1, since it's at the second position
trace(array.indexOf('three')); // returns -1, since it isn't found
[Code]...
there's got to be an easier way to check to see if one of the nodes in the XMLList has a particular value than looping through all of them, right? something akin to -
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('two'); // returns 1, because it's the second child
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('three'); // returns -1, because it doesn't match any children
How would I get a range of items from my xmllist similar to the slice method for an array?
slice(startIndex,endIndex);
I am trying something like this:
var tempXMLList:XMLList = new XMLList();
