If I copy the xml and save it locally, it loads just fine. I only get this error when loading from the URL. I checked the xml and all of the openeing and closing link tags are there.
I need to call a REST web service that provides an XML feed of weather conditions. I have 13 cities for which conditions are needed, and only 3 nodes for each city are required (vs. the entire feed). My very basic first attempt is as follows:
[Code]...
First, how do I parse the 3 nodes, and ? Next, is there a way to pass a different querystring argument for each of the 13 cities? Finally, how would I add these values to an FLV that's been imported and placed on stage? The FLV displays a geographical area and pans from east to west plotting cities as it goes. At each city plot, the 3 node values need to be "superimposed" onto the FLV.
I am trying to parse a RSS feed and load the data into separate labels.
For example i want to pick up all the title values within each item of the RSS feed and place that in a designated label.

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();
I'm still trying to wrap my head around XML and am having trouble getting images and text from the XML file into my Flash document.[code]...

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 ?
I've been following Lee's tutorial on XML Basics with AS3 and I'm having a problem displaying the output of an xml document after creating the XML object.

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.
I have very large pngs (20000x20000) that have sprites of an animation.
I cant load the whole file as a bitmap because it exceeds the maximum image size that flash allows.
Is there a way to load the file as bytes, and then parse it into several small bitmapdatas that each contain one sprite of the animation?
I need to parse XML that is being dynamically created using php with AS3 so that I can feed the nodes into dynamic text fields on my stage.
I feel like this should be pretty straightforward, but am running into problems where I can't get flash to talk to my nodes (I get an error where: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XML@29578251 element <key> to XMLList.) and I have searching for forever to try to figure out how to resolve this.[code]...
