I am new here at Kirupa. I have read the xml tutorial by kirupa but I have problem with filtering my xml. Following is the situation. I have an XMLList : list =
[Code]...
So If there is more than one result no problem! Problem comes only when I have only one result.
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
[Code]....
can I somehow word something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var i:uint = 2;
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(myXML.category[0].project[/* ...node which attribute named
[code]....
I'm having hard time reaching the right nodes here. The XML structure is like this:
HTML Code:
<map>
<y>
<rs>
[Code]....
I'm trying to return a list of names for countries that contain company nodes with t value of f, so here are some of my attempts. None of them work.
Code:
_xml.y.rs.r.cs.c.(child("is").i.@t == "f").@n
_xml.y.rs.r.cs.c.(child("is").(i.@t == "f")).@n
_xml.y.rs.r.cs.c.(child("is").i.(@t == "f")).@n
The problem is that the selector either returns too many or too few nodes.
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 think using sliders is an interesting way to give the user a better way of filtering the data like the ones used atUsing check boxes and drop downs also seem to work as it can improve the users search/filter experience.What is the best approach/methodology to use to build this sort of Flash solution? I want to build simple interfaces that can be used anytime with pre-defined data that the user can organize or filter by various different categories. Examples I can think of are product, house or holiday searches using categories such as price, quanity etc.

This is my first post on this forum, so sorry If Im posting in the wrong spot or asking stupid questions. I've been programing for several years, but I'm kinda new to using XML in flash. I'm making an xml menu system and I would like to know if it is possible to filter without a defining the parent node. For example I would like to do this... var whatIwantToFind = myXML..(@name == 'munkinugget'); Unfortunately this throws a syntax error. It tells me that its expecting a double colon before the semicolon.

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.

View 3 RepliesI have been given the SQL file which i have exported as XML, i understand this is the easiest format for flash to read. I am sure this is a really simple thing to do as it is basically filtering the sql/xml.

'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:

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.
View 2 RepliesThere 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
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{

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.
I've made a file that reads my URL string and posts it on a text box named queryString and my URL parameter is posted on that text box.

I have learned all I needed to know about flash and XML so far from this outstandingly clear and well-written article here on kirupa:m. Seriously, this is the best tutorial on the topic I have ever come across.There is, however, one case that occurred to me recently, which isn't covered. Maybe it's too specific, or maybe there is no solution to it....I want to do the following: I have written a base-class for preloading XML and images. I want to make it useable for many future-projects. However, the XML-Structure of my projects vary a lot. hat I need is a way to retrieve all tags of a given type, wherever they are. For example, I want to get all images tagged with <picture></picture>-tags from the xml, independently of the structure:
PHP Code:
<gallery><picture>image1.jpg</picture><picture>image2.jpg</picture></gallery>

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.
