I'm trying to make my portfolio XML-driven. What I'm trying to do is similiar to a photogallery. The difference is that I want "sub pictures" to every item in the gallery. Example: If I click on a project name in the portfolio an image should appear. Then I want to be able to browse between different images within that project. When I click on a another project a different set of pictures will be loaded.My XML file looks as exemplified below. What I'm having troubles figuring out how to do is getting the array right.I want to access the data something like this:
imageArray[0].path[1] would return "http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg"
imageArray[0].title returns "Title A"
I fail to parse the XML into an multidimensional array like this..
<images><item title="Title A"><pic path="http://www.pic.com/picA1.jpg">
<desc>First A picture</desc>
</pic>[code].....
I use this code to load XML im Flash:
Sample XML file:

Here everything is alright, but I would like to do more than just trace the results. I would like to store the results in an object or an array and access it from other functions.
how to store XML data if I want to use it from other functions?

What would the variable name be to get to the start of the image names?

what if u want to parse a whole html table into flash and turn each colunm into an actionscript 3 array? flash doesnt know how many rows the table has, but i could print the number of rows in the same page as the html table, and make it parse the number of rows from the same page after a urlrequest the first step is to probably make a php page with my database splayed out as a table, maybe with
---- row1col1=dan row1col2=jenson row2col1=jen row2col2=dennings-------
numrows=2 and so on as table entries, and then have flash urlrequest the page i can do that, but i dont know how to parse each column into an actionscript 3 array but it only shows how to parse one value, not a whole array:[URL]
i've been reading that XML/E4X is very slow with AVM2 / ActionScript 3.when supplying an application with XML data, is it always generally a better idea to parse the XML object into an array of objects to call rather than using E4X with the stock XML data?
View 2 RepliesGoal: load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. Problem: I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML.onLoad function.

I am trying to obtain strings from a xml file: I tried the following:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("blog.xml");
var xml:XML; var rss:URLLoader = new URLLoader();rss.load(url);rss.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, readRss);
function readRss(e:Event):void{ xml = XML(rss.data); txt_field.text=xml.entry[1].author.name;

how to parse XML very well !
my problem is simple, i have a php file that do XML, the XML is generated with the php code with the elements in my mySQL Base.
When i replace this line :
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("donneesFlash.xml"));
by
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("donneesFlash.php"));
[Code]...
Because my URL Request is .php, so for flash i can't do new XML();

View 2 RepliesI have a 3rd party programme which generates the xml file below, and it re-writes the xml file every time a new message is received by that 3rd party programme. What I'm trying to do is find a way to read in the relevant flashvars (if that's the right term) into a flash file (basically I want to read in messages 1 - 6), ignore the rest of the xml, display the messages and then re-load the xml about every 30 seconds (in case it's changed). I guess this is pretty much like a news reader of sorts, but I don't have any control over the structure of the xml file, so if someone could point me in the right sort of direction, then I'm happy to have a go at learning. I did try messing with a basic news reader flash file that I downloaded, but it didn't seem to like the xml - I guess because each message in the xml has its own number?[code]...

View 4 RepliesI would like to load in Flash the next bit:

I know this is not possible in Flash, but I thought maybe there is a roundabout to get this to work anyway..Is it maybe possible to load in the above mentioned bit of code with XML ?

What I have to do it's a "profile viewer": for each member of a band I have the profile (some text, and only text).I was thinking about to use this code on the XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<members>
<graffin>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
[code]....
So... On the movie clip that show the picture of the member I'll have a textbox to show the 'content' of the profiles. On the keyframe where I have the pic of, for example, Brooks, I'll have this textbox. I want to parse only the content of Brooks, and I wanna do the same for each member (they are 6... yeah, 3 guitars lol).
I'm trying to get my head around parsing this xml structure dynamically so that I don't have to know which elements have children in advance of parsing the xml.Here's the structure:

good function for parsing a string in as3 to remove all characters that are not alphanumeric (and ideally being able to add a few more characters such as _ )
I want to use it to check user input before sending it to PHP (which checks it as well but I would like to have the user side ie flash check it first).
I am sure I could write it by creating an array of the characters I want it limited to and working through each character in the user input and removing those that don't match; but this seems slow and cumbersome.
Alternatively passing it to PHP and having that use its string functions to check then pass back to flash; but I would rather it done purely on the Flash side.
