ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Parsing Issues Using E4X Syntax?
Sep 20, 2009
When I am trying to Parse the following XML using this code I am not getting any result..However if the xml file is truncated to have the <organizations> as the root node. I guess the problem is with the namespace, however not certain how to go about fixing it.been trying to resolve this for 3 hours now...
AS3.0 Code
var xmlManifest:XML = new XML();xmlManifest.ignoreWhitespace=true;var strManifestPath:String = new String("imsmanifest.xml");var urlrManifestURL:URLRequest = new
I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can answer. I have this ActionScript that reads the XML file into the flash movie. The poblem is this: The XML is in this format:
This is my first day to try and use XML to display dynamic text in Flash. My skillset is weak with AS3 and Flash, but I found some tutorials online and I have managed to successfully display the first record in mytest.swf. However I also seem to have all records displaying in each dynamic text box as well. My loop isn't stopping after each record. It's reading everything. And dumping the results into each text field.
I need to only display each record individually. Once I accomplish that, I will need to include some form of navigation. Lets say buttons that perform a NEXT, PREVIOUS, LAST, FIRST type function. Then lastly, I'll need to include some type of search navigation option by item number. I assume that I'd have to have a second screen that links to my primary results screen with an input form for the item number.
I am accessing an xml document in actionscript, I know flash can see the xml as I am tracing it but when I add the .text() funtion to my trace to strip out the tags by trace doesn't see anything.
function LoadXML(e:Event):void {xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);ParseXML(xmlData);}function ParseXML(thexmlInput:XML):void { trace("XML Output");trace("------------------------");trace(thexmlInput.wrapper.page);
This text traced a value of undefined.I have tried to research this and so far all I have been able to find out, is that this is a XML namespace and is very easily handled in as3. Unfortunately I have to use as2.How do I parse out this information into a dyamic text fields?
I'm trying to make a banner which the user can edit his Preferences in a xml file. My xml file looks like below.[code]that means image 1 has three textboxes with fontsize: 14,18,30.now i've the following problem.as you can see i've get function from my billboardData_array i want to call this get function in other classes to get the correct data i need. [code]this function returns the last fontsize but i need to loop through it to display text on the stage.
I have an xml file and im putting this xml file in an XML object
var receivedXML:XML
In some function, I have:
var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList(); xmlList = receivedXML.some.attributes.here; object.functionDoStuff = xmlList;
The function functionDoStuff takes xmlList as its argument:
function functionDoStuff(xmlList:XMLList) {}
When does receivedXML get parsed, is it when we assign it to xmlList, or is it when it gets used in the next instruction by the function functionDoStuff?
I have Visual studio with AS and Flex 4 installed into it. Can someone provide me with simple sample code and a simple xml file (can just be like a=8083&b=8873) and grabbing the data for a and b and putting this into 2 different arrays of size 1 (since its simple).
Is it possible to parse variables between different swf-files? Say that Ive got this main movie to which I load an external swf-file. Can I then send data from this externally loaded swf to the main movie?
I`m trying to load different texts from one XML file into my pre-defined areas. It works with one text....I gt to my frame where the as below is and the text gets loaded. BUT how do I need to proceed if I want to go to another frame and have a different text loaded from the same XML file?
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.inventor = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
i just created an image gallery. i used the kirupa tutorial as a rough guideline, so i changed up a few things. it works fine. im wanting to use the xml file as a config file, but that part is not working.
heres my xml code:
Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <gallery textcolor="0x999999" bgcolor="0x000000"> <image url="http://home.comcast.net/~urtalkinstupid/image1.jpg" caption="OMG! dude has peanut butter on his nose!"/> <image url="http://home.comcast.net/~urtalkinstupid/image2.jpg" caption="he wouldnt be quiet; we had to do it."/>
i've been using the gotoandlearn.com mp3player when wanting to provide music in flash, the other day i decided to rewrite into a class. my textfield returns "undefined", which is frustrating because i know the nodes are being parsed into the loadXML(); method. the problem i'm having seems to be in the playSong() method, the sa Array hasn't retained the information that had been parsed into it when the loadXML(); method is initialized.below is the class i'm working with;ve been trying to figure it out for a couple of days now, this is a last resort.......
class actionscript.mp3Player extends MovieClip { public var s:Sound;// Setup sound object public var sa:Array;// Array of songs
I'm trying to find a way to parse out some numbers from a potential string. Basically, I'm making a financial-based calculator, and the user could input something like
$45,509.30
and I'm trying to figure out how to extract everything but the period so I'm left with
45509.30
I found this help from Senocular: [URL]
But unfortunately, it's AS1 and I can't get it to work with my code...t
I have a 6mb XML file, resetting my script timout in CS4 doesn't help. (it does have some unnecesarry HTML in it I could probably do away with, but that would be the wrong direction I think)I can't even trace it.I am loading it into an :XML object and trying to work with it, but all to no avail.
Here is my Class:
Code: /** User class author: Manaburn
[code]...
The for each loop wont iterate for some reason, but the for loop will, then again, it always crashes me with:
Code: Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
(which as I stated above I reset, but as this is a .as file, I don't think it allows that.)
Ran into some problems when a client asked me to use the xml that is created from an admin where the user can format the text as she or he wants it. With bold, italic, insert link and so on. Doing all that in a frame in the browser that is. As you would guess from a proper admin tool more or less.
I'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.
[Code]....
So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
In AS2 you could parse together movieclip names so that you could do things like this - Let's say you have a movieclip (clip1) inside a clip (clip2). You could do:
name1 ="clip" + 1; name2 = "clip"+ 2;
and then when referencing the lower clip you could do: _root[name2][name1]._alpha = 50;
That doesn't seem to work in AS3, even if do something like clip2[name1].alpha=.25;
I'm probably referencing the objects wrong, but can anybody shed any light on this? I'm having trouble parsing together paths and object names and it's driving me nuts.
I'm trying to parse xml into a dictionary based on a group id.[code]the above is just dummy xml. The group ID could be anything. So I can't do if item.@group is == to "group a" and elseif and so on. Any ideas on how I could make it as dynamic as possible but still be able to access each group through a dictionary.
I have a flash application which contains a "dynamic text"with a var name "myVar" and an instance name "dt_txt".I have a button to which I attached the code: ____________________________________ on (release) { var lv = new LoadVars(); lv.load ("[code].............
I make a XML connector component parse a XML document.In a node, there is a "<br />" (return to line in HTML)
<book> <page>
Here some text and a <br /> here ! the code s broken up here
</page> </book>
My XML connector considere the <br /> as the beginning or the end of a node !...How to avoid this <br /> or other any HTML element when parsing some XML ?
