I have a series of images & links in my XML file that looks like[code]...
You'll see in the third once there is no link. Apparently, when I throw it into an XMLList, it gets ignored and all of the links are off by one.
How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?
View 2 RepliesI have this XMLList:
<content> <TextFlow color="#000000" columnCount="2"> <p>One</p></TextFlow> </content>
I need to get <textFlow> as an XMLList and as String.
Is there an XMLList equivalent to Array.indexOf?
For example -
var array:Array = ['one','two'];
trace(array.indexOf('two')); // returns 1, since it's at the second position
trace(array.indexOf('three')); // returns -1, since it isn't found
[Code]...
there's got to be an easier way to check to see if one of the nodes in the XMLList has a particular value than looping through all of them, right? something akin to -
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('two'); // returns 1, because it's the second child
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('three'); // returns -1, because it doesn't match any children
I have a problem with XML filtering. [code]If there is only one result, trace is empty. If there are 2 results or more, they will be traced fine. Is it because one result is not an XML 'list'? If so, how do I get the results if there is only one match?
View 2 RepliesIf I have an XMLList object in Flex, what is the proper way to check to see if the list is empty? Should I just compare the result of myList.length() > 0, myList.toString() != "" or try another method altogether?

I have an xml document like the below one that I am trying to parse using AS3. I want to get all of the classes who have students playing Basketball. I thought that I could do something like:

Unfortionatly this is returning me an empty XMLList.

View 1 Repliesjust trying to get straight how this works. Say I create some XML like so:
ActionScript Code:
var sample:XML = <sample>
<items>

I have made a menu system with 6 buttons, and on the layer above, I've made 6 'not active looking button' movieclips:

how to write to an empty xml node using AS2? For example...
<root>
<level1></level1>
</root>
I am trying to write a string between level1 opening and closing tag, but I haven't been able to do so using AS2 because nodeType returns 1 for the child of level1 instead of 3.I have tried appendChild(), parseXML(), nodeValue = "string goes here...", and every other method that I can think of.
checking an XML file for a specific node.
Example:
<vid
flv="videoName"
thumb="thumbnail.jpg"
title="Video Title"
[code]....
The first vid node contains a path to a logo graphic, I then need to check in my ActionScript if there is a logo there or not, and to do something if there is(display the logo) I can trace out the logo path so I thought I could run a simple if/else to check if there is anything in that node and if so to do something:
private function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent = null):void
{
trace("
");
[code]....
Now I've tried everything, but it will always trace out "Does have a logo" no matter what I do. I tried:
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == "")
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == null)
However I get the same results?
I'm trying to figure out how to reference a child of an xmlList object using it's attribute value. I've successfully created an xmlList (galleries) of all the 'gallery' nodes in the loaded xml file. What I can't figure out is how to properly reference it's children when creating a new xmlList (currentGallery). What is the correct way to reference a child of the galleries xmlList by it's 'name' attribute?
ActionScript Code:
var xml:XML = new XML(loader.data);
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
var galleries:XMLList = xml.gallery;
//how could I choose to target the gallery node with the name attribute of LANDSCAPES?
var currentGallery:XMLList = galleries.gallery name=="LANDSCAPES".image;
[Code]...
I am reading in an XML file in AS3. I need to find out if an attribute exists on a node. I want to do something like:
if(xmlIn.attribute("id")){
foo(xmlIn.attribute("id"); // xmlIn is of type XML
}
This doesn't work however. The above if statement is always true, even if the attribute id isn't on the node.
I want to show some data from an xml file inside a datagrid, so I do this:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="dgDomains" dataProvider="{new XMLListCollection(xmlDomains..domain(deleted.toString() != '1'))}"

I have an XMLList 'Keywords', which consists of about 30 elements. I want to count the number of unique keywords in the List, and how often they occur. Then display the top 3 most occuring keywords.
View 1 RepliesHow do you get the value of a child node in an array titled "entries"? I used to do this in AS2, and now I'm trying in AS3. To top it off, I'm forced to use an XML format I'm unfamiliar with. So I'm not sure how to access these nodes in AS3. An example of the XML is;

I have this type of XML -

I am trying to create a text node within a child node:
user_xml.firstChild.appendChild( user_xml.createTextNode("<![CDATA[------]]>") );
But when I trace this I get:

Which is not what I need. What I need returning is:

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.

refresh my memory of how to test if a SWF has been loaded into another SWF or if it's the main SWF?
I remember it being something like:
Code:
if (stage == root) {
// Not loaded into another SWF
} else {
// Loaded into another SWF
}
I have child node that has no information ... it would be a URL, so the error message I get is Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.. Code: _currURL = path.article.(@ID == _marker).storyURL; I thought I might check to see if _currURL == null, but that does nothing.

Is there a way to test collision with a child of an object?eg.
ActionScript Code:

Unfortunately this simple example shows no child components and even none of the initialize handlers is triggered. However as soon as I change the root tag to mx:WindowedApplication everything behaves as expected: The label and the button are shown and the console shows the output of the two trace statements.
How can I test if my AS3 code is executing from root or from a child mc that has been imported into a larger project via the loader class? Details:I've got a tutorial that is published both as a standalone projector (exe) and as an swf imported at runtime into a larger project. If the tutorial is running by itself as a standalone projector it needs to execute a few fscommands and perform some other housekeeping chores. If the tutorial is running as a child of the larger project these chores must be skipped. I canâ't test Capabilities.playerType because the parent can also run as a standalone projector. It's simple, but here's what I had before I realized the parent might also be standalone:
