I have Visual studio with AS and Flex 4 installed into it. Can someone provide me with simple sample code and a simple xml file (can just be like a=8083&b=8873) and grabbing the data for a and b and putting this into 2 different arrays of size 1 (since its simple).

I am trying to parse data from a user created .txt file and convert it into an Array. This data will eventually be used to output an .xml file or to generate html. The user has no experience or knowledge of XML otherwise there would be no need for this post, I would just parse XML. The data will be set up as a group of items (term and definition, question and answer as well as a type to determine the attributes of the item) like so:
1. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
a. The world may never know.
t. ML
2. What is the square root of 69?
a. 8 something.
t. SA
I am currently able to allow a user to have an Open Dialog box to open a local .txt file from their computer. I am also able to read the data and trace it via actionscript. I cannot however split the data where I want to into an array. I cannot use '' to split at as the data from the .txt file may sometimes be multi-line for the question or answer.
So I need to be able to; a) split on a number with a . and a space (eg. '1. ') b) split on a-e with a . and a space (eg. 'a. ') and c) split on 't. '.
Here is the relevant code I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.text.*;
import flash.net.FileReference;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
[Code]....
I was just trying to hardcode a couple things like splitting on 'a. ' and 't. ' but it only does one split, whichever comes last.
What I'm trying to do is taking a XML file that have data that I put into a MovieClip call "field" that reside in my library and into that MC I have numerous text field to put my data into, in that XML file I have a field call <link> that I want to use as a URLRequest but I can't seem to be able to assign it.
Here is a section of my XML file:
<channel>
<shows>
<dates>01.22.2009</dates>

I would like to parse some User Input Text into individual letters (probably using an array so the letters can be used and changed easily). The goal is to create an encryption flash script, which will take in a user input sentence, and spit out a jumble of "random" letters with a 4-Digit code. The end-user then takes the jumble, puts it in to the box, punches in the 4-Digit Code, and decrypts the message. I understand there may be ActionCrypt and stuff, but I'd enjoy attempting this myself. I have all the other data I need (translating letters in an array into numbers, jumbling the numbers, turning those numbers into letters, and then allowing the end-user to enter those and reverse-engineer the original sentence).
All in all, I only need the code to parse input text (in this case, and for the easiest idea, lets say 10 letter maximum) into an array of individual letters per sector.To make this easy for me to understand, I'll give you some variables to work with, so if you post code, I understand what you mean with the variables:
input_txt = User Input Box
encrypt_btn = The button one will press, and thus make the (hopefully new) sentence be parsed into an array
So pretty much, I'm assuming the code will begin with the encrypt buttons AS:
"this.on(Release) = function()"
That's the way I imagine it at least... If any of you have an extremely advanced way, that's fine by me. Use all the variables you want, array names.... everything!
I have an external .txt file that contains data some variables with strings in them. I need to be able to tell if a string has a certain type of character in it. Like for example "no,yes"I want to detect the "," and split that string up at that point and assign the "no" and the "yes" to variables.Similarly if I have the string"1-100" or 1-2-3-4-5-6-7I want to detect the "-" and split that string up at that point and assign the "1" and the "100" to variables or 1-2-3-4-5 to variables

This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.

I am attempting to parse some weather information from the Yahoo weather RSS feed.This is a typical XML node;
<description>Yahoo! Weather for Palm Springs, CA</description>
I used the typical XML parsing code in as2;
var text1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
txt1.text = text1;
I was doing pretty good until I reached a node that was formatted thus;
<yweather:forecast day="Mon" date="28 Sep 2009" low="74" high="103" text="Sunny" code="32" />
This text traced a value of undefined.I have tried to research this and so far all I have been able to find out, is that this is a XML namespace and is very easily handled in as3. Unfortunately I have to use as2.How do I parse out this information into a dyamic text fields?

I have an xml file and im putting this xml file in an XML object
var receivedXML:XML
In some function, I have:
var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList();
xmlList = receivedXML.some.attributes.here;
object.functionDoStuff = xmlList;
The function functionDoStuff takes xmlList as its argument:
function functionDoStuff(xmlList:XMLList) {}
When does receivedXML get parsed, is it when we assign it to xmlList, or is it when it gets used in the next instruction by the function functionDoStuff?
If I use the following XML it does not output anything. Please help me to find what is the issue.

i've been using the gotoandlearn.com mp3player when wanting to provide music in flash, the other day i decided to rewrite into a class. my textfield returns "undefined", which is frustrating because i know the nodes are being parsed into the loadXML(); method. the problem i'm having seems to be in the playSong() method, the sa Array hasn't retained the information that had been parsed into it when the loadXML(); method is initialized.below is the class i'm working with;ve been trying to figure it out for a couple of days now, this is a last resort.......
class actionscript.mp3Player extends MovieClip {

The for each loop wont iterate for some reason, but the for loop will, then again, it always crashes me with:

I'm having a little problem storing something like this
"this is a new line"
into a string value from an xml file but then when i want to go apply it to a dynamic text box it loses the new line character and actually displays

instead of
"this is a new line"
Ran into some problems when a client asked me to use the xml that is created from an admin where the user can format the text as she or he wants it. With bold, italic, insert link and so on. Doing all that in a frame in the browser that is. As you would guess from a proper admin tool more or less.

I'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.
[Code]....
So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
