ActionScript 3.0 :: Use It To Parse XML Created With Php?
Mar 27, 2011
I need to parse XML that is being dynamically created using php with AS3 so that I can feed the nodes into dynamic text fields on my stage.
I feel like this should be pretty straightforward, but am running into problems where I can't get flash to talk to my nodes (I get an error where: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XML@29578251 element <key> to XMLList.) and I have searching for forever to try to figure out how to resolve this.[code]...

I have only one question but phrased it 3 ways:
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?

When an instance variable is constructed by a constructor method, why do you need to refer to the current instance variable being created when its the only one being created? I understand assigning an expression to it but why name it "this." when it is the only object that the constructor is building? Does it have some hing to do with being able to naming that object in the Local Variable? In other words am I creating a generic object that will be named in another class?

how to parse XML very well !
my problem is simple, i have a php file that do XML, the XML is generated with the php code with the elements in my mySQL Base.
When i replace this line :
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("donneesFlash.xml"));
by
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("donneesFlash.php"));
[Code]...
Because my URL Request is .php, so for flash i can't do new XML();

I have a 3rd party programme which generates the xml file below, and it re-writes the xml file every time a new message is received by that 3rd party programme. What I'm trying to do is find a way to read in the relevant flashvars (if that's the right term) into a flash file (basically I want to read in messages 1 - 6), ignore the rest of the xml, display the messages and then re-load the xml about every 30 seconds (in case it's changed). I guess this is pretty much like a news reader of sorts, but I don't have any control over the structure of the xml file, so if someone could point me in the right sort of direction, then I'm happy to have a go at learning. I did try messing with a basic news reader flash file that I downloaded, but it didn't seem to like the xml - I guess because each message in the xml has its own number?[code]...

I would like to load in Flash the next bit:
Code: Select all<IFRAME SRC="http://tickertape.beurs.nl/beursnl/ticker.aspx?width=750&speed=15" NORESIZE SCROLLING=NO HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=25></IFRAME>
I know this is not possible in Flash, but I thought maybe there is a roundabout to get this to work anyway..Is it maybe possible to load in the above mentioned bit of code with XML ?

What I have to do it's a "profile viewer": for each member of a band I have the profile (some text, and only text).I was thinking about to use this code on the XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<members>
<graffin>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
[code]....
So... On the movie clip that show the picture of the member I'll have a textbox to show the 'content' of the profiles. On the keyframe where I have the pic of, for example, Brooks, I'll have this textbox. I want to parse only the content of Brooks, and I wanna do the same for each member (they are 6... yeah, 3 guitars lol).

good function for parsing a string in as3 to remove all characters that are not alphanumeric (and ideally being able to add a few more characters such as _ )
I want to use it to check user input before sending it to PHP (which checks it as well but I would like to have the user side ie flash check it first).
I am sure I could write it by creating an array of the characters I want it limited to and working through each character in the user input and removing those that don't match; but this seems slow and cumbersome.
Alternatively passing it to PHP and having that use its string functions to check then pass back to flash; but I would rather it done purely on the Flash side.

I have very large pngs (20000x20000) that have sprites of an animation.
I cant load the whole file as a bitmap because it exceeds the maximum image size that flash allows.
Is there a way to load the file as bytes, and then parse it into several small bitmapdatas that each contain one sprite of the animation?

Here is my XML layout:
Actionscript Code:
<xml> <seriesA> <chart_form> <total_return>75.41%</total_return> </chart_form> </seriesA></xml>
I usually do this:
Actionscript Code:
function ParseSeriesData(seriesInput:XML):void { stats.htmlText = seriesInput.seriesA.chart_form.total_return;}
But I want to do something like this:
Actionscript Code:
var mynode:String = "seriesA";function ParseSeriesData(seriesInput:XML):void { stats.htmlText = seriesInput.mynode.chart_form.total_return;}

I've been putting together a script to parse twitter feeds via xml, add the html code to link any hyperlinks in the post and throw each resulting post into one of two textareas (box0 & box1). Unfortunatly it is printing all 3 (the amount so far posted) posts into each text box. How to fix this code to
a) put 1 post per box and
b) limit the amount of posts it pulls from the xml
Code:
function checkWord(word:String):String {
if(word.indexOf("http:") == 0) {
// This word starts with "http:" at index 0 (the beginning of the word)
// Wrap it in html href (anchor) tags:
return "<a href='" + word + "'>" + word + "</a>";
