If I was trying to link to a specific rss feed item link would I have to load it into an array and identify each tag in the item as its own object and access the url from there or can I access it from the current XML obj that is holding the feed?

I did post this in the AS 2.0 forum, as that's my preferred way of working, but am willing to give 3.0 a go if it's not too difficult.
I have this XML that I need to read into flash.
I want to display one of the temperatures in the xml.
For instance, say I want to display the temperature for 'Sydney'.[code]...
I am loading an rss (twitter) feed into a .swf. I got the rss url off of the twitter account page, and registered that address with my feedburner account. In flash, I use URLLoader to load the feedburner url. Using Firefox, the data returned is an xml formatted list of tweets that I can parse easily using as3syndicationlib. Works great.
Using Chrome, the data is returned as HTML: The html for the page you would see if you put an rss address into chrome, subscribe buttons and all. It's as if I make a request to the rss url, chrome takes the raw rss data, converts it to a readable html page and sends THAT back to flash...Parsing this would be a nightmare.
I have a working Rss Feed that I coded with Flash and AS3 but Im only missing the correct code to load the image of a rss feed.For example:
Code:
//WORKS GREAT
titleList.push( theXMLData.channel.item[b].title );

I know how to remove duplicates from an array, but what I'm trying to do is prevent an item from ever being added to an array in the first place if it already exists. I'm pulling in data from an xml feed in a loop, and I thought that searching for that values index would work, but no matter what, the index is always -1. Here's my code:
[Code]...
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the indexOf function, but I thought it was supposed to return -1 if a value did not exist in an array. What am I doing wrong?
I have this code to try to acess the values of the array in the arraycollection but it does not work it actually creates a value to the end of the arraycollection. can anyone tell me what im doing wrong i basically whant to modifys the individual arrays in the arraycollection and add Login_user.
Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i< dispArray.length; ++i){
dispArray.addItemAt({"login_user":"XXX"},i);
}
I'm new to Flex. I've been graphing multiple series in a line chart where all of these series are the same length. Now I need to plot new data and each series has a different length from each other. The question is how to modify the following code to do this.
The initApp() function is called at the start of the program, and it calls function genData() to generate the dataSet used for plotting in the LineChart.
public function initApp():void {
// Initialize data provider array.
dataSet = new ArrayCollection(genData());
[Code]....
Can someone recommend how to place array1, array2, array3, and array4 into x1, y1, x2, y2 (respectively) when the length of array1 and array2 do not equal that of array3 and array4? Or, equivalent outcome.
I'm assuming everything has to come in through dataSet, but I wonder if it's possible to simply reference array1 (etc.) directly from <mx:LineChart ...> or <mx:LineSeries ...> somehow, to avoid wasting memory on an unnecessary array (e.g. dataSet).
i have created a menu.swf and i want to link its items to frames of another .swf.How can i do this?
I tried root.gotoAndPlay(2);with no success
I'm dynamically loading images from a JSON feed into individual movie clips and then adding the clips to the stage(both by addChild)--basically creating thumb tiles. I've added a click handler to do something when the MC is clicked. WHAT'S MY PROBLEM: The problem I have is that the MC is clickable, but the content is not. For instance, the clip has a white box in it, and the loaded image is made slightly smaller and centered to give a white border around the pic. An empty clip loaded to the stage works fine, and the white border around the image is clickable, but the image is not.
View 1 RepliesI have an xml file that I load and parse with no problem. I have a number of buttons that are on the stage. I want to link the buttons with the xml file. I have simplified it here
The sample xml file is like this
<xml>
<item>
<name>George</name>
</item>
[code]...
I have three buttons on the stage. When I click button _1, I want to access the value in the first element in the xml file (George). And so on with button_2 and button_3.I'm guessing you put the buttons in an array. How do you link the button array with the xml array?
I want to know if there is a method or some code to add new items to an array, but it want the items have the name of the buttons's instance name, or the label's name, so when i push the button, it adds its name to an array. Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
tauri.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
abydos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
tollana.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addAddress);
dialNow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dialTo);
var tauriAddress:Array = ["tauri","abydos"];
var newAddress:Array = new Array();
function addAddress(event:MouseEvent):void {
newAddress.push();
I don't know if I should use the push method here, tell me what to put here for adding the instance name of the button to the array
trace(newAddress);
}
below is my script,to sum up the number in my array....but the output is all the numbers in array and not the sum up numbers....
CorrectMark =correctArray[0]+correctArray[1]+correctArray[2]+ correctArray[3]+ correctArray[4];
display.text=CorrectMark;
I'm trying to add an item to an array, but when I do, it keeps the results (prizeField) from before and adds the new ones to it. i.e. at the beginning if I push a string to the array I have 4 items. If I push another, I then have 9. Then 15 and so forth. Here is my code:
Code:
var myFlexParent:Object;
var prizeArray:Array = ["apples", "bananas", "cranberries"];
var textFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Cairo", 48);[code].....
I know that I need some sort of removeChild() in there, but I cannot get it to actually work.
When the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....
Hw to add an item to the front of an array? this works fine, but not sure if its the most "poetic" code around.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have one array with items. now I want to remove all items from array. How it can be possible ?
View 7 RepliesI have a tricky problem in that I have an array that has been populated with strings ("item1", "item2", etc). However, at a certain point I need to pull one randomly out of the group, via a random number function. The issue is I cannot reference the items in the array by a number, I get an error. So when I try to get myArray(5) it doesn't work.
How can I work around this so I can grab a random item in my string array?
var arr1:Array = new Array();
arr1.push(item1);
arr1.push(item2);
arr1.push(item3);
then arr1 and its elements get passed to other functions is there a way to know the index of an item in the array?
GetParentArrayIndex(item2) would give me 1;

I have two two-dimensional arrays, and this line of code:
openListParents[compWith] = openList[olID];
Does it work? Yes. However, openListParents[compWith] becomes openList[olID], but I want openListParents[compWith] to be the value of openList[olID]. This is what I get when I press CTRL+ALT+V:
[Code].....
This is because openList might change, and I want the value of that openListParents in the array to be the value of the openList at the time when the code is run.

I have an array of questions for an interactive quiz game. When you answer a question, functionally I want that question to be removed from the array (cat4Questions) so that it won't come back for the player so I tried to splice it.I wasn't sure if it was working so I traced the array. While I was expecting "question1, question2, question3, question4" to be traced, "question1, question2, question3, question4, question5" was the result of my trace.This is the line of code where I try to splice the array:cat4Questions.splice(cat4Questions.length,1);trace(cat4Questions);
View 3 RepliesHow do you specify a certain item to be removed from an array?I know how to remove an item of a certain position, for example:

and I want to remove the item "4" without referring to its position, is there a way to do this?
What I have: 2 buttons on stage (NEW_YORK and CHICAGO) which are given an onRelease function trough a forLoop (so far so good).
What I need: For those to buttons to trace their own array item when i press them.

So I'm getting strange results when trying to remove the first item in my array. When I remove the first item by using the shift() method, it deletes the whole array instead of just the first item.
Here is my code.

When I run the program it correctly shuffles the deck array and pushes all the shuffled items into the shuffledDeck Array. Then the first 26 cards get pushed into the playerDeck Array and the rest go to the computerDeck Array.
When the last bit of code runs, it correctly picks the first item in the playerDeck Array, but when I try to remove that item, it removes everything in playerDeck.
