ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Property Names From XML Object?
Apr 22, 2011
Given an XML object: <column label="Name" datafield="userName" width="70" />, how do I extract the NAME of the properties rather than the values, e.g. ["label", "datafield", "width"]?
ActionScript Code:
for (var pname:* in column.@*)
{
trace(pname);
}
public dynamic class SiteZoneFileUploadVO { public var destination:String = "sitezone";[code]...........
when I try to iterate over this object's property names it only iterates the dynamically added properties.
parameters.dynVar= "value"; for(var name:String in parameters) {
Even though the object has all the properties equal to a value (ive checked this in the debugger) the only property name that will be traced is dynVar.How can I iterate over all the property names and not just the dynamically added ones?
i was searching for the solution all over the internet but could not find the way to solve this problem . I have a loop in which i want to assign one property value ( in this case value of several numeric stepper components) to one array spot. Unfortunetaly i cant figure out how to change the property name acording to number of the loop. Here is an example.
Im trying to make my buttons work.. but Im getting this error message when I click on my buttons any help will be appreciated.....
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property names not found on flash.display.SimpleButton and there is no default value. at onewaywesite_fla::MainTimeline/clickSection()
I have an object which is assigned a number of properties:
var project_array:Array = []; var slideObject:Object = { project_title : myXML.projects.project[i].title.toUpperCase(),
[Code].....
but I'm not quite sure where to place this. If I place it outside of the object constructor, I get "term is undefined", I guess because it doesn't know what project_clips_array is - but if I declare project_clips_array in the constructor, it appears to need to be defined, i.e. I can't create a blank property. But I can't place it in the constructor either, because it doesn't seem to allow me to run a function within an object constructor. What is the proper syntax or arrangement of code for executing this function to get the array within the object?
I have 8 text boxes (called h1, h2 etc) that I want to do things with, the code below is just to make them all invisible when the movie loads,this works:
for (b=1; b<9; b++) { _root["h"+b]._visible = false; }
I found a really weird behavior when using deep copy for objects (ObjectUtil of Flex framework).Imagine we have a class B which extends class A. Class A has property body which is of type ByteArray.I create object b (instance of B). Then I make a deep copy object bCopy, BUT this bCopy object does not contain body property at all! All others properties (of scalar types) defined in Class A are copied properly.When I define property of type ByteArray directly in class B, then this property is copied properly..
What I should do is parse an xml and from its node name create object property and then create an object array based on those property. Am I able to make myself clear.
trace(e.target.name); (tried on a MouseEvent object)
or
trace(myTextField.name); (on a textField object).
In my Flash application, I notice that tracing the name of an event object returns "instance26", indicating that this is the 26th (or 27th depending on the base of indexing) object created since the app initialized. Basically what I'm curious about is, firstly, is this instance value subject to change when the app is ported to other platforms (if different versions of the Flash player process instructions in a different order or fashion) and secondly, how can I find what object contains "instance0" or (if the instance indexing begins at base 1), "instance1"?
Code: for (var i=1; i < 13; i++) { var box = new kutu(); addChild(box); }
The code it adds 12 times object called "box".. but if I want different names for each object? For example make the name for each Code: name = "box_"+i;
let's say you're passing an object to a function {title:"my title", data:"corresponding data"} how can I get the function to know what the names of the items/sub-objects are (title and data) without specifying them?
I have a flex application that reads from external XML file(URL loader) and displays graph. My xml file is dynamically generated using PHP and the filename=currentloggedin user name(i.e. username.xml).How should I load the xml into SWC? Will Flashvars work? I have a HTML page that has PHP code to get username and the same file embes the swc. How to pass the PHP varibale to my SWC?
I have problem with accessing object created by function imported from another package. I have 2 packages DragDrop and UserInterface. In UserInterface I create methods for buttons and later add them in DragDrop . I make it in two different ways: One(this one works):
We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.
I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set; instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?
Is it possible in actionscript to get and set an object's property eg I have an object called arenaWorld and I wish to get and set just one property to get and set an object's property the singer's song. public function get arenaWorld.singer.song():String
There is a function that receiving value of String = 'propertyName', wich is property name.and i have an Object item with property of name equals to 'propertyName'.How do i get item's value of that property?ObjectUtil.getClassInfo(item).propertiesreturns an Array of item's properties, but is it an easier way to get it instead of searching trough Array?
My problem is to find out the object which owned my property... for example: My Class : public class MyClass{ var myGroup:Group; //Spark Component ..... }
Now, I add my Group to another UIComponent. Next step in Class XYZ I wan't to get my MyClass Object ... but I can only see the var myGroup public class XYZ { ... public function getObject(group:Group):MyClass { return group.????; } ... }
I have an object that passes itself to an inherited static function using the "this" property, but by the time the function is called "this" becomes a global variable.
I want to go through an object, recursively. I've got that part down sort of. I want to list out ALL the values in the object. I can do that. But what I can't seem to do is to get the name of the actual property.It has to be something obvious but I'm clueless. I've searched this page, and I'm positive I'm just overlooking something obvious.
Code: function recursiveList(obj:Object){ if(!obj){
