I have a series of XML nodes that are the same (except for the data of course). I want to find the node with that attribute and use that node's data. I know I can do this with a for loop and an if statement but I was hoping that there was a better way.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI use this code in as3 in order to find node with specific id value but it is working for 2 depth
elementsToDraw = elementsList.*.(@id=="hello");
For example at this xml node can be found
<nodes>
<node id="d">
<node id="hello">
[Code]....
What should I write for searching in any depth element with id="hello"?
I've been trying to figure out how to display the descendants (in this case exchangeRate and PlacesOfInterest) of a parent node with a specific attribute.To set the scene - the user clicks on a button which sets a string variable to a destination eg. japan or australia.The code then runs through a set of nodes in the XML and any that have a matching attribute is traced - simple enoughWhat I can't figure out is how to then display only the child nodes of the node with that attribute.I'm sure there has to be a way of doing it and I'll probably be banging my head against the desk when I find it
public function ParseDestinations(destinationInput:XML):void
{
var destAttributes:XMLList = destinationInput.adventure.destination.attributes();

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've used a lot of XML in Flash, but this one really bugs me and I can't find how to make it work!
I have a simple XML like this one:
Code:

I can target the items (there are more in my complete xml) with: project.items.children( )But I can't seem to get to the attributes
I am reading in an XML file in AS3. I need to find out if an attribute exists on a node. I want to do something like:
if(xmlIn.attribute("id")){
foo(xmlIn.attribute("id"); // xmlIn is of type XML
}
This doesn't work however. The above if statement is always true, even if the attribute id isn't on the node.
My main problem with this code is I want to put the url of the image and thumbnail xml tag in the nod, instead of it being an attribute.

I know I can use the XMLdocument class and go back tothe old way of doing thinsg. So I have an AS3 Air app which is successfully reading and writing to an XML file. Now I want to replace an attribute or an entire node if that's easier but I can't figure out how to target it. So the XML starts with an empty node:

What I want to know is how to target the status node (or any other node for that matter) so that I can replace it or it's attribute. So, let's say I have a bunch of these guest nodes and I want to change the status for the first one, how do I do that using the new syntax.

I have a Flex XML object as follows:
private var _xmlCountries:XML =
<Countries>
<option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="AL">Albania</option>
<option value="DZ">Algeria</option>
<option value="AO">Angola</option>

This object is ok, and shows up correctly in debug mode. The problem is I have a country name i.e. private var _country:String = "Angola";, and I want to get the corresponding value 'AO' from the XML object. Do you know how to do this?

Suppose I have an xml looking like this?
Code:

<lastName>Wu</lastName>
<firstName>Erin</firstName>
</employee>
<employee id="6402" code="232">

<firstName>Erin</firstName>
</employee>
<employee id="6403" code="233">
<lastName>Wu</lastName>
<firstName>Erin</firstName>

How would I access the specific attribute "6403"? I tried sth like this but did not work :
"emp.employee[2].@id"
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
I have this type of XML -

I'm creating an in-house application in flash for my company. I'm pulling a ton of info from a single XML file located on our server. Ten interns will be using the application on their laptops (Air 2.0). Having the data load and populate the application is not a problem. I would like them (in the application) to be able to edit an existing node value (loaded from the XML) and save it (back to the XML file) so that the XML file updates with the new value and the other 9 interns would see the change on their application.
I figure I'll need some kind of php set up, but everything I've read so far deals with creating new nodes. I need to edit and update existing node values from an existing loaded file.
Here's a very simple example of the XML:
HTML Code:
<INVENTORY>

I'm trying to resolve the following:I'v got a long xml file with a node called 'ows_Sub_x002d_Site' - this has several different values (e.g Home, about us e.t.c) which i then filter to make sure only items with that specific value are then looped thro to build a menu.
That part i got sorted (see below).The problem i have is that i need to know how many items there are in the xml file with that value before i loop thro the xml and build the menu (so i can determine the overall width of the menu e.t.c).
