I am creating a class which extends the XML class. I am adding a reset() method which will clear the xml instance and its root attributes. I want to strip dynamic attributes from the root XML node. I'm using a loop to step through each attribute and then calling delete on the node attribute.[code]
View 2 Repliesi have an XML like
var test:XML = new XML( <record id="5" name="AccountTransactions"
<field id="34" type="Nuber"/>
</record>);
i want to remove all the attributes other than id and type in all nodes of XML. by this code i am unable to do this. can you suggest better solution, other than loops.
var atts:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(test.descendants().attributes().((localName() != "id") && (localName() != "type")));
atts.removeAll(); trace(test)
it still show all attributes.

Trying to create a simple shopping cart with text boxes and delete buttons on the fly and everything is created properly, but I can't get them to delete.
My code:
Code:
for (i=0; i<clothingCart.length; i++) {
var ci:TextField = new TextField();
itemArray[i]=ci;

I get the same basic error no matter what:

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 got these four errors when I tried to create a button on the stage that would delete the text I inputted in the inputtext(ti). Based on the scripts I have and the errors, what should I write to create the delete button?

I am implementing a flex auto-suggest combobox - as the user types in each character: Consider the string 'Stackoverflow' and user input = 'st'
1) the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 'st'
2) text is set to auto-suggest string such that the un-typed part is highlighted.
So for instance, the combobox text may contain st'ackoverflow', where 'ackoverflow' is highlighted using setSelectedIndex()When I hit back-space or delete, and check the 'this.text' value, I expect that the last un-highlighted character ('t' in the above case) gets deleted and the data provider is filtered to show all items starting with 's'. However the text property contains 'st', as before

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to use the delete keyword to remove nodes from an xml file and it just plain won't work.Here's a stripped down example of what I'm working with. Every node has a child named "deleteme". If its value is equal to 1 I want to remove it from the xml file. If its anything else I want to leave it be. The delete method is deffinately gettig call but it's having no effect.

Flash is not in my toolset, but I am an old Director jock and have spent some hours dipping my head into the Flash manual. I suppose that makes me a promising beginner-level poster. I'm working in CS5.
I need to make a simple Flash-based sound player for a website for a newly-released novel (http://www.bearriverbooks.com/index.html). I want the user to click on what appears to be an icon (or image), which kicks open a simple controller and starts playing a sound file (a radio interview, which I will probably export using Flash's voice compression). Nothing fancy. Just want the visitor to hear the sound and be able to apply simple controls (stop/start/rewind/volume).
I can learn ActionScript, I suppose, since I used to dream in Lingo, but my life would be a lot simpler if I could just publish a controller without having to roll my own. I'd like to think there's a magic button somewhere that can do this, but I haven't found it yet.
After loading the following XML file, is there a way to count the number of attributes of the "question" node, and if possible, the number of items having the word "answer" in them? (in this case 4 should be returned, ie. answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<quiz>
<question text="The man went ___ the morning." answer1="at" answer2="on" answer3="in" answer4="out" correct="in" />

here's a painfully easy one I bet -- I'm aware of how to use EX4 to filter most pieces of the xml I need however how can I filter an XML list such as the one below to check say --- if a dog is a beagle? preferably as a Boolean.
[Code]...
I have XML below
<node id="id1"/><node id="id2"/>...
<edge id="eid1" fromId="id1" toId="id2"/>
<edge id="eid2" fromId="id3" toId="id1"/>
<edge id="eid3" fromId="id2" toId="id4"/>
Now I need get all edge base on nodeId,
nodeId = id1 -> eid1, eid2
nodeId = id2 -> eid1, eid3
nodeId = id3 -> eid2
nodeId = id5 -> Null
I want to get all xml elements (xml descendents) which have some attributes like:
<books>
<book concept="rr" author="xx"/>
<book concept="tt" />
<book concept="yy" />
<book concept="uu" author="xx"/>
</books>
I need to perform a xml descendent search for xml nodes with author attribute containing
results should be:
<book concept="rr" author="xx"/>
<book concept="uu" author="xx"/>
How do I get all the attributes that exist on a XML node? For example, I have the following XML:
<item id="100">
<defaults width="10" height="100" post="true">
</item>
I would like to get the names and values on the defaults node.
Here is some starter code:
if (item.defaults) {
var attributes:Object = item.defaults.@*; // found in another post
for each (var value:String in attributes) {
[Code]....
Problem is, whenever I try to change attributes like align or scaleMode I get the following error message:
"Access of possibly undefined property scaleMode through a reference with static type Class".
In what part of the code am I allowed to change Stage attributes?
I wonder if you can use the override in atributtes. If yes, how could I do this?
View 3 RepliesIs there anyway to get the number of attributes an xml node has.
I'm just not fond of the way you have to loop through an xml node ala [URL]
for (attr in this.childNodes[i].attributes) {
...
}
Is there nothing like childNodes[i].attributes.length?
In my project I have some xml I've embedded and am now parsing.
Here's an example of xml I have.
HTML Code:
<use>

<add var="health">2</add>

I guess I could just change the names of them in my XML but their must be a workaround. I could potentially not have control over the file and then I'd be screwed.
My XML looks like this...
<feature title="This is my /n features title"/>
I don't have access to change the schema.
In Flash I load the text content of the title attribute into a text field, problem is -- the prints instead of operating as a carriage return (new line).
Again, no access to the XML so changing the TextField to htmlText and adding a <br/> tag wont work.
When I try to load in my xml attributes it loads in all the attribures for that node not just the Title Or Description. How do I get it to just load the Title.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
loader.load(new URLRequest("2152.xml"));
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
XML.ignoreWhitespace=true;
var xml=new XML(e.target.data);

Is there a way to find an XML element by values of two attributes (XPath or whatever?)?
I would prefer not to loop through the result of one of the attributes search, because XML is huge and its processing is already slow.
Example:
myFeature = _contextXML.namespace::row.((@modelName==var1) AND (@featureTitle==var2))..@featureDescription;
I have set up my code to filter my xml attributes but need to be able to filter by a var that is dynamically set elsewhere. I can get the code to work if I set: var birthyear = "1980";

I was trying to use default xml namespaces, but came upon something strange.
I got the following piece of xml:
<animal type="sheep" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>josh</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>
[Code].....
now for some reason, the elements are correctly traversed using the default namespace. But the attribute isn't found. After a bit of debugging, I found that I could only retrieve the attribute when using xml.animal.attribute(new QName("", "type")). Why isn't the attribute in the same default namespace as the element?

There are dashes in attributes of an xml, and I don't know how to filter them: Here you can see a simple example of the xml:
<posts>
<post>
<photo-url max-width="1280">http://blabla.tumblr.com/photo/98</photo-url>
</post>
</posts>
Because also the photo-url-tag has a dash, I needed to parse it with ...child("photo-url"). This worked fine, but if I want to filter these tags(photo-url), in order to receive all photo-url's with the same attribute: "max-widht='1280'", I couldn't manage to do so. I tried this approach:
var photoUrl:XMLList = xml.posts.post.child("photo-url").(@max-width==1280);
I get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @max is not defined.
I've tried many different ways of accessing the name of an attribute, but just can't get it working.The current Function:

I have tried the name, I've tried searching it as an Object, I looked for solutions on stackoverflow.. nothing has worked for me so far. Originally I had the properties node as such: fearing that Flash was interpretting incorrectly.
edit: It seems like the XML was interpretted rather than printed out..
