So, my issue is this: I want to access XML like this:
Code:
someXML..nodeName
This returns elements with the name "nodeName" I need to do this dynamically like
[Code]....
I had no problem working with xml in cumbersome AS2, but apparently it's menat to be easier in AS£, however I'm having a problem getting the data from this piece.
Basically I need to be able to access the id & src.
Here's an example of my XML:
</State>
<State name="AR" eVts="6" pCls="8:30 PM EST">
<PrecRepPct>11</PrecRepPct>
[Code]....
I'm wondering if its because there are two "Cand"s, or "Cand.length(); isn't the right thing to use or whatever, I've totally hit the wall.
I am unable to access 2nd element and 3rd element (I can access 1st element)
XML :
<data>
<text1> text1 </text1>
<text2> text2 </text2>
<text3> text3 </text3>
</data>

I need to access the elements of an array that is declared in the main swf(_level0). But I need to change it from another swf.How can I do it??So far I have this:
MAIN SWF:
var vector1:Array = [biblio_vid1, biblio_vid2, biblio_vid3, btn_1_4, biblio_vid4];
OTHER SWF:
var vector2:Array = _level0.vector1.slice();
trace(vector2); // undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined,undefined
Is there a way to access the DOM-Elements of a mxml file in a way that you can in JS (e.g. using Prototype or jQuery)?
I need to know if a top-level element has a child (sub-sub-...-childs) with a certain id.
In JS (using prototype) it would be something like:
$('tabs').select('[id="something"]');
Does anyone know if its possible to access children elements in a SWC? I have created some MC's and inside of some of these MC's I have some dynamic textFields. I export the content to a SWC and load it into my Flex project. No problem loading it or accessing the parent elements, they display fine. But I want to access the textfields nestes in the MC's and modify the text. When I debug the app, I can see the textfields as child elements. It's typed as a TextField and the Instance Name is the same as input in the Flash IDE but I cannot access it. When Flex compiles it throws an error saying it doesn't recognize the method. I've tried to insert actionscript on the timeline, linked external classes and nothing can be accessed.

I have an object, myObj, that has no key/value pairs, only elements. When i trace it out i get the elements listed inbetween curly braces {item1, item2, item3, item4} I can access the first element by calling myObj.first( ) and I guess there are other methods I could try to call on the object - such as myObj.last( ) - but I can't seem to access the other elements in the object. I would like to be able to do something like:

If I Have an XML variable that equals this:
var X:XML=XML("<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" xmlns:ns1="Tools.*" minWidth="684" minHeight="484" creationComplete="Init();" xmlns:ns3="Components.*" initialize="I()"/>");
And I try to list the attributes via:
var AList:XMList=X.attributes();
The three namespaces, "xmlns:mx","xmlns:ns1", and "xmlns:ns3" aren't listed among the attributes! How can I access this information programmatically?
Access stage objects (like Movie Clip or text fields) from sub classes.The problem came when I define a subclass and try to access stage objects. How can I do that?Imagine I have a movie clip named redBox_mc on the stage.I want to change it`s alpha after I get my xml loaded.(or any other action in subclass)
Main class:
package src{
// ..
public class code01 extends MovieClip {
public var rt:xmlReader = new xmlReader("art.xml"); // my subclass

how can you access elements in a 3D array using for loops?
View 4 RepliesI'm looking at the XML class. I would like to be able to access elements by name and the order they came in.
For example, if an xml document is structured like this:

xml_object.childNodes.length will return the number of childnodes there are. But I don't see a way to get at the number of childnodes of a particular type. This will not tell me, for example, how many childnodes of type "b" that "a" has. I can't see Flash XML support being this sparse. Is there a built-in way of accessing the nth child of a node of a particular element name or am I stuck with accessing it only by number.
I have an external class in a .as file, my problem is that I can't access text box elements on the stage. Code like stage.txtfield.text or this.parent.txtfield.text does not work. The txtfield is the instace name of a Dynamic Text field.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a navigation element. The items in the navigation are created dynamically from data in an XML file. What I would like to do is create a new movie clip then place all of the navigation elements into that movie clip so I can move it around as one piece.
Here is a simplified example of my code:
Code:
var navContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); //clip to add elements to
addChild(navContainer);
//Create nav elements that I want inside navContainer//

I'm writing a FlashLite ActionScript2 piece of code. I have a series of textfields that are dynamically created and displayed on screen. I then wish to drag each of these textfields around. To achieve this I used some code from another flash site for dragging and dropping. I have two problems:
1) The txtMovies are dynamically allocated so each as a number appended to it, i.e. txtMovie0, txtMovie1 and so on. I can't figure out how to assign these in a non hardcoded fashion within a loop i.e.
object_array[0] = ("txtMovie"+i);
When I do this, it doesn't work. I think it's because it's not an object but a string. I tried using Object as a prefix to the part in brackets, tried [ ] etc... but couldn't get it to work.
2) In the function fnTxtMovieOnRelease I'd like to access the parameters (i.e. .text) of the selected text movie but, I don't know how to access it. I have no idea how to detect which of the movies are selected and thus access their individual text strings. I've tried to pass a parameter to the fnTxtMovieOnPress function but this then stops that code from working and I really don't know why.
[code]Also pass the Stage reference still it not showing any error and text box is also blank,text is embed ed and the code is.[code]If I put import flash. display. List; it shows an error 1172: Definition flash.display:List could not be found.
View 5 RepliesI am building a pretty basic app which pulls data from an XML file and displays it on my site. It's basically for displaying reviews of other sites so each record has a title, image, description, rating and URL field.I have got as far as being able to display one record at a time, however I would like to dynamically add new placeholders depending on how many reviews there are for a given category.In Flex you can do this with I think it is called the repeater component. However I am not sure the best way to achieve this in flash? So to summarize I guess I am looking for a way to dynamically add new elements to the stage for each record in my external XML file for a given category.

How to dynamically add wmode="opaque" to already displaying embed elements? Without reloading the elements, the embedded content should not lose its state.
Just setting the wmode attribute with javascript doesn't work.
Removing the element and then adding it again makes wmode take effect, but the flash element loses its state, among other problems. E.g if it's a video player its position/playback status resets. So that solution is no good.
Any other way of displaying content over the embedded element is acceptable as well.
(I'm doing this trough a content script in a Chrome extension if that is of any help.)
This is not a duplicated of How to dynamically add wmode=transparent to Youtube embed code? as there the parameter is added to a frame and not directly to the element it self.

I would like to be able to access all the components of say a Flash image gallery on someone else's site. I want to be able to find the images, image coordinates, action script code, audio files, video, etc. I do not want to manipulate these elements, I just want to view them and their related information.
