I have looked at some of the related posts on this subject but i can't figure out how to solve my problem. I guess it has something to do with the fact that its monday.Well, here goes. i have a XML object containing:
<root>
<page>
<text>[code]....
And i want to replace only the label node with a new one. i put the new ones in an XMLList but now im stuck at how im supose to replace the actual nodes. This is how the XMLList looks like:
<page>
<text>
<style properties=""/>[code].....
I'm trying to figure out how to add an element node to my XML, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
i.e.
var zoo:XML = <zoo>
<section>
<animals>
[Code]....
Say I start at a leaf node, and I traverse up the tree by using .parent(). I need an exit condition once it hits root. At the moment, I'm using parent.@name != "root", where name is just an attribute, but shouldn't I be able to check the type of element as well? How? Also, is there another way to end the traversal in as3?
View 1 RepliesI have a entire XML and I've already loaded it. How do I get a specific node? For example:
<images>
<image url="" label="" etc=""/>
<image url=""/>
<image url=""/>
</image>
I need to pass the entire node through params
Like this:
var node:XML = xml.images[0];
trace(node); // <image url="" label="" etc=""/>
Is that possible?

View 2 Repliescleaner way of searching through all of the descendants of an XML object and replacing all % values with actual values. I specify x, y, height and width positions in terms of percentages, and so must convert these to actual positions - it seems madness to first search and replace x values, then y values,

In a nutshell, I'm trying to create a dynamic text box in which text show up for one XML node but not for another, so I have some XML nodes that have info in them and others that don't. This seems like it would be a realatively easy thing to do, but I've been working on figuring out how to do so for days with no avail. I'm working on a template for my portfolio gallery at: [URL] I've linked pdfs to just some of the images in my modified xml slideshow from the tutorial using the following code from this forum:

I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.

My Problem: I want to know the new node where the leaf was dropped. Actually i would have expected that in the event there is a property like dropParent. This is not the case.

I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
<gallery>

View 8 RepliesI am trying to create a text node within a child node:
user_xml.firstChild.appendChild( user_xml.createTextNode("<![CDATA[------]]>") );

I just want the individual text variables made from the RSS Title nodes, to be set to react to my handleFHTClicked, rollOutHandler and ollOverHandler functions. The movie runs Ok parsing the nodes and picking up the CSS, but I get this error in the output window when it reaches the aformentioned functions..

I have a Label component in my library list, and have placed an instance of it on stage named lowtemp_label. I've written the following AS3 script in my Main.as file that grabs 3 nodes from an XML web service. I want to send each of the 3 values to 3 separate label components. However, when I run the SWF, my label components do not display the data. How can I remedy this?

How do I ensure that the lowtemp_label gets the returned low temp value?

Using the above code it only searches the node which author value is "Stephen E. Ambrose" but I want to search only "Stephen" and want to get this node returned.

View 2 RepliesI have made it this far with much help and all was working well until the xml changed. Sometimes the c_Result node does not exist and my c_points text box returns 'undefined'. I have tried if(c_points != undefined){ etc which works to a degree but I don't know how to make the text box blank if the node doesn't exist and load the c_Result node if it does.
