ActionScript 3.0 :: Filtering XMLList By Partial String?
Nov 20, 2008
I have an XMLList from a feed that takes the form shown belowand has about 90 'contact' nodes within it.I can use E4X to filter the list by a node value and displayall contacts from the uk say but now I am trying to search by nameas the user types in to a text field and am stuck.What I want is that each time a character is entered in thesearch field a list is created that contains only objects whosfirstName node value contains what the user has entered. This mightbe a full name or just the first few letters.I managed to do this easily with an array of data by usingArray.filter() and String.search() but with an XMLList I am stuck.I could create an array I suppose but that seems dirty when the

is it possible if we want to filter or search node in XML just like SQL did. For Example
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Main extends Sprite{
[code]....
Then in Fruit.FLA i have an input text with button, searching is focused on Color Attributes of fruit if I want to write "re" on input text -> click button and then shows Fruit Color contain "re" --> red, green and it shows Watermelon, Pear dan Orange as result.

Kirupa's tutprial "Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3" when filtering the node values, how can I match a text string say "Stephen" with "Stephen E. Ambrose"
var authorList:XMLList = bookInput.Book.(author == "Stephen E. Ambrose");
Using the above code it only searches the node which author value is "Stephen E. Ambrose" but I want to search only "Stephen" and want to get this node returned.

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

Suppose all that happens initially in a client swf is a user clicks a hyperlink in a text object of the swf, so this requests a "page" from the server. In response the server just modifies that existing swf in the client browser, by for example (?) invoking public functions of it, and possibly passing in as parameters the name of image or data files which were also downloaded in response to the URL request. The crucial part is that all that can happen initially in the SWF is a URL "page" request. Is this commonly done and if so, how.

I have gone thru the Kirupa's tutorial "Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3", and it helped a lot in my project. Now, I have a question in XML searching. If an attribute's value is say title="kirupa tutorial" and a user wanted to search only the word "kirupa", then how can i get this node of xml, which title is "kirupa tutorial"..
@title == "kirupa" only works when the whole word matches the value of "title" attribute, but i want to search a partial word.

I'm working on a batch process script that's executed from Flex. The batch script is in a .aspx Page and returns partial results through the following class:
public class ResponseLogger
{
private HttpResponse _response;
public ResponseLogger(HttpResponse response)
[Code].....
In my Flex application I'd like to show the result as soon as it's flushed on server side. Can this be done using Actionscript?

I'm moving on with my optics system in Box2D (which seems to run into its share of kinks and platform limitations, but that's a subject for another time) and I expect to have the need for a way to procedurally draw sprites for varying shapes of lenses.Really, the critical component of this process seems to be the ability to draw partial circles. By this, I mean a part of a circle if it were divided from the whole by a straight line through the circle's interior.

I'm drawing some cars. They're Bitmap's, loaded from PNG's in the library. I need to be able to color the cars-- red ones and green ones and blue ones, whatever. However, when you paint the car green, the tires should stay black, and the windows stay window-color.
I know of two ways to handle this, neither one of which makes me happy. First, I could have two bitmaps for each car; one underneath for the body color, and one on top for detail bits. The underneath bitmap gets its transform.colorTransform set to turn the white car-body into whatever color I need. Not great, because I end up with twice as many Bitmap's running around on screen at runtime.
Second, I could programmatically search-and-replace "white" with "car-body" color when I load the bitmap for each car. Not great either, because the amount of memory I take up multiplies by however many colors I need.
What I would LIKE would be a way to say "draw this Bitmap with JUST THE WHITE PARTS turned into this other color" at runtime. Is there anything like this available? I will be less than surprised if the answer is "no," but I figure it's worth asking.

I've got a string in AS3 composed of two elements that is dynamically assigned to a textField. I want to make one element one color and the other a different color. Code below: allInfoForSchedules = data[j].weekDay + " " + data[j].scheduleType + "."; I can make the entire string change color but not just one part of it.

I'm trying to set only a portion of a string to use a particular text format and it does not seem to be working. I'm calling setTextFormat() after setting the text of the TextField like this:
myTextField.setTextFormat(newFormat, 7);
change the format for the remaining characters after the 6th. The textfield seems to use the default text format for the entire text however.

Line 2 Lorem ipsem, Lorem ipsem,Line 3 Lorem ipsem, Lorem ipsem.
And if i replace the text on line 2 and make it bold without effecting line 1.

Does anyone know why the first part of my CSS formatted is the only part that shows? I know the rest of my text is formatted correctly because I can erase the first part, and only show the other portion. I just want to be able to load a decent size set of text into a text block I am making with a scrollbar.

format partial parts of an input text box at runtime. I have seen a few "text editors" around which are built in flash so i am assuming it is posible but i would like to know the extent of developement on this. My idea is much more simple than the text editor.
Basically i just need to be able to change the format of a specific word or two in a string, which the user has entered in the user input box, on specific words..
for example. image writing some text in MS word, and the last word written is wrong "spelled incorectly" it is then immidiately underlined.. this is the effect i'm after. i have the code working producing errors in a seperate output box. but i need it to change the input text dynamically at run time.

I am learning flash, and to do so I'm writing a little adventure game. My current issue is with saving progress; namely, having the game remembering what was done on previous frames. I've experimented with Booleans, who work nicely for small stuff, but it's proving more difficult to save things like inventory items or partial actions taken.
Google pointed me towards SharedObject, which would save data regardless of frame, handy! It seems to have the side effect of remembering the data even when closed though, meaning I have to erase it before every test. So now I'm thinking of turning it into a proper save & load system, like in a real game. But now I'm left to wonder, is SharedObject really the best way for me to save progress made in individual rooms? It's really simple stuff like redKeyTaken = true or greenDooropen = false (wheres then the movieclips of redkey or greendoor jump to their correct frames) What would you guys recommend for keeping track of individual room(frame) status? Keep using SharedObject and just flush at every action, or is there a better way?

I'm using SWFUpload to upload images without reloading the page (with a fancy progressbar too), this works fine when I'm on localhost (Wamp server), but it goes nuts when I try to do so on my real linux server (which is the only possible flag as far as I could see), it's running Apache2 and PHP5. As I said the front-end is fine (apart maybe from the fact it's flash).The back-end code is as follows:
SWFUpload_settings.js
var swfu_settings ={upload_url : "upload.php",
flash_url : "flash/swfupload.swf",
button_placeholder_id : "upload_flash",
[code]...
The only error that I get is from $_FILES['Filedata']['error'] = 3, 'Only part of the file was uploaded'. The destination directory does have 777 permission and you can see I made the required checks. It simply will not work, I have no idea why. Also, the files I tried uploading had no spaces in the filename, so that shouldn't fit under the issue 206 with SWFUpload.As far as I can tell it can be either due to the front-end SWFUpload or back-end server configuration.
P.S. no need to mention security, this is only allowed to be used by the server admin with external access anyhow, plus there's the front-end limitation on the files he can select (images). There was no point securing it further.

how to filter the below XML (loaded into a var called "projectsXML") by the contents of the "tag" nodes, but can't quite get it working. So for instance, how would I use an E4X expression to return an XMLList that contained only those projects which have a tag of "Website"?

My brain has melted at this point, so I'll ask you all - how do I filter for the following attribute:
story.attributes.year == "2005"
in the code below, so that only the nodes marked "2005" are displayed? Files are attached.
Code:
//Create textfield
this.createTextField("content_txt", 10, 0, 0, 390, 0);
//Create and load styles

There are dashes in attributes of an xml, and I don't know how to filter them: Here you can see a simple example of the xml:
<posts>
<post>
<photo-url max-width="1280">http://blabla.tumblr.com/photo/98</photo-url>
</post>
</posts>
Because also the photo-url-tag has a dash, I needed to parse it with ...child("photo-url"). This worked fine, but if I want to filter these tags(photo-url), in order to receive all photo-url's with the same attribute: "max-widht='1280'", I couldn't manage to do so. I tried this approach:
var photoUrl:XMLList = xml.posts.post.child("photo-url").(@max-width==1280);
I get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @max is not defined.

I have an array that has 30 date objects. The date objects are indexed in the array from the minimum date value to the maximum date value. What I would like to do is retrieve only 7 dates from the array. Out of the 7, the first one should be the minDate and the last should be the maxDate, with 5 dates in the middle. The 7 numbers should increment evenly from the minDate to the maxDate.

I have an array that contains movieclips. All of the movieclips have te type and they are all positioned on the stage next to eachother.
Above the displayed movieclips i have 3 buttons, each simbolizing a type, what i want to do is: i click on one of the buttons and all of the movieclips that dont match the right type should be removed from the stage, the remaining movieclips should then tween so that they are next to eachother again. If i click the button again then the movieclips should be displayed again to where they were and should all be positioned again next to eachother.
