Is it possible to select all attributes of the same name in an XML file ?I have managed to select all elements of the same name but I cannot find a solution to select all attributes of the same name.
Code:

I want to select a XMLList of nodes by this criteria
<Projects>.<project>.@name = x &&<Projects>.<project>.<characteristics>.<characteristic>.<options>.<option>.(@name == y && @value == z)
Essentially query by both attributes [name and value] for a given project name
So here's the situation: I have an XML file that is holding a short list of nodes, all of which have two attributes associated with name and a score. This file is already loaded into flash and creates a high-score table, of sorts. Now, what I want to do is to be able to grab data collected in the application, use that to change some attributes in the XML file and have it save that change. As it is I can change the attributes using:myXML.children()[t].@attr = attributeVariable;Which seems to work while the application is still in session, but does not actually save those changes to the file itself as I am hoping fo
View 1 RepliesI have a project that needs to get a XMLList. The project consists in one XML file with attributes. The attributes are: Image, description (of the image) the product title for the image and the same product title for another menu that choose the products.
I'll show you all how its organized:
Right side: a List of Products.. Each click it loads his respective title, image and description on the left side of stage.
My doubt is: How to control these items. How do I control the array?
When I click Item 1 it goes to item 1 image, title and description on the left side. When I click in Item 2 it removes the last item, put the new Item 2 image, title, description, etc.
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var meuXML:XML; // vai guardar todo o contedo do XML;
var imageLoader:Loader; // ImageLoader;
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("tv.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, carregouXML);

I'm using an external XML file to populate a video playlist. So I'm parsing the attributes like this:
tileList.addItem({label:item.attribute("description"),
label:item.attribute("details").toXMLString(),
data:item.attribute("src").toXMLString(),
source:thumbnail});;
But the "details" attribute is not showing up. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The XML element that holds the attributes looks like this:
<vid description="My description"
details="More detailed description."
src="movies/myMovie.flv"
thumbnail="thumbnails/myImage.jpg" />
I am loading an xml file and some of the node attributes do not have values:
<books>
<book id="qq" description="test1"></book>
<book id="nn" description""></book>
</books>
I get a null object reference when I try to run the second book line because of the missing description. Can I check for this in code and skip accessing the description for this line?
Something like if (xml_book.@description is null) {do nothing}else{do something)?
I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]
This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c
Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.
I have written an Air program that mirrors a directory tree. The problem is that the destination folder structure and content need to be identical - right down to the creationDate and modificaitonDate file attributes. How can I change these file attributes using Adobe Air? I'm able to READ them both just fine, but the properties are read-only. How do I change them?

But in Flex 4 the dropdownfactory doesnt exist.
View 2 RepliesI am working a video in Flash CS5 that is roughly 11 minutes long.
I am at the 6 minute mark at the moment and whenever I want to preview the latest changes I click F12 to I press 'alt+enter'. The problem is I have to watch 6 minutes of the SWF to eventually get to the latest part I edited.
This is slowing me down tremendously and I would hate to still be doing this when I am 10 minutes into the video!
Is there a more efficient way to preview?
Perhaps open it in a player that has some proper controls? or even if I could select the starting point of the preview?
If I press 'enter' I see a preview but the sound file does not play so that option is out too.
I created a page with an uploader. As uploader I use Uploadify 3. The code is working on all browsers except for IE9. When I turn IE 9 in compat mode it is working. In IE9, I can't push the upload button. It shows, but there is no reaction to the click. So no file select dialog is opened. In Opera, chrome and FF the button works and when I click the file open dialog is showed.
Flash is running in IE9. (version 11,0,1,152) (youtube is working) When I rightclick the button I don't get flash info. When I do this in all other browsers I get flash info. When I rightclick in youtube (in ie9) I also get flash info.

Did I made a mistake? Is this a flash bug? Or something else?
i want save a xml file without select location.

fr.save(ba, "1.xml");
I'm trying to integrate a JavaScript multiple file uploader into a website. I've worked with Uploadify before and wanted to go with that. The difference in this case was that I needed to allow a large number of files in the upload queue (up to 500).
Everything works fine in Firefox, IE6-9 and Safari. Except for Chrome, where when selecting more than 232 files at once (using the Flash file select dialog) it doesn't do anything (the file select event is not triggered for the JS script to capture).
At first I thought it was an Uploadify bug, and decided to try Plupload as an alternative. Problem is that I hit the same dead end with the Flash version of Plupload, it just won't do anything when selecting more than 232 files at once.
Is this a known Flash Player limitation/bug in Chrome?

I want to do a stand alone application in wich you can select a mp3 from local disk with Flash MX. I've been searching for a function or a method who allows to open a "browser window" or to have a string with the filenames but I haven't find nothing. I also have searched for an argument for fscommand but nothing. Does someone know if some function exists in javascript to give a string with the filenames of a folder? And in this case, how to integrate it in actionscript? I know that I can use a explorer to do that with javascript, but I need to do it without browsers.
View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip that contains some checkboxes "preferences_mc". I have an xml file that is loaded in and has an element called "isUnique" which has children with unique names like id, title, version and such. What I am trying to accomplish is for the form I am building to be able to select/deselect each checkbox and save the selection out to an xml file. I have gotten that far and everything is working perfectly. My problem is that after I load the xml back in and try to set the checkbox.selected = xmlPrefs.isUnique.id to get the checkbox to use the data from the xml file to decide whether it is selected or deselected, it ALWAYS selects the box whether it is true or false. I have tried everything. xmlPrefs.isUnique.id traces out as false which is correct but the screen still shows the checkbox selected.

I'm using the Flex3 File.browseForOpen() method. Is there a way to specify a initial path that the file browser starts in?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a Flex3/blazeDS/Spring/Oracle project. My requirement is display a list of files from an external FTP server in a grid, user can select single file or multiple files to download, and if user selects multiple files I should tar the files on the FTP server and download the tar file from FTP server to user disk. As per my understanding on the File Download in Flex we have 2 ways to do it. 1) File Reference 2) Using navigateURL and call server side JSP/Servlets to download files.
1) For FileReference we need to download the data first and prompt the user to save the file by clicking on some button. We cannot prompt the 'Save' dialogue without the click event for Security reasons in Flex (Workaround). But my client hates this process because its two steps and he want it in one step like normal file download with only 'Save' dialogue. Then I tried the second option.
2) navigateURL. Open a new windows make a post url request for to JSP/Servlets and prompt the 'Save' dialogue. The problem I am facing here is the pop-up window does not close once the download is complete. navigateURL does not return any reference to the window to close the window. I even tried different content types and headers and java script but none seems to work. The window closes when it is a single file and not for the tar or zip file. I would like to download the popup window for any type of downloads. I am using IE7.
