ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Get Node By Concatenating @ With String?

Oct 10, 2011

I need to get an XML node by using this syntax:

[pseudo code]
xml.node["subnode"].@string.children();
[real code where _xml is XML]
_xmlList:XMLList = _xml.cases["case"][@id == event.target._id].files.children();

And yes, case is a reserved word - therefore the brackets and quotes.

event.target._id is a string, but I can't seem to figure out how to concatenate the @ (at sign) with a string to get the attribute (or the node that corresponds to the attribute).

I've tried _xml.cases["case"].(@id == event.target._id).files.children();

But it doesn't work. How am I totally off in the wrong direction?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Concatenating Variables - End Up With PlaylistArray[0] Containing The String "playlistVariables. Track0"?

Jun 12, 2009

I'm having trouble getting the following to work:

I have declared an array "playlistArray" which will hold a series of track names (for an mp3 player.)I have declared a URLVariable "playlistVariables" which loads the data from an external text file.If I brute-force assign values from playlistVariables to playlistArray, everything works fine:

playlistArray[0] = playlistVariables.track0;

If I test this with trace(playlistArray[0]) I get the track name I am looking for. But obviously I don't want to brute-force assign all those values, I want to use a "for" loop:

for (var i:int = 0; i<maxTracks; i++) {
playlistArray[i] = ["playlistVariables.track"+(i)];
trace(playlistArray[i]);

When I do this,I end up with playlistArray[0] containing the string "playlistVariables. track0" rather than the value of playlistVariables.track0.

Xml :: Find Out If XMLList Contains String As Node Value?

Jul 26, 2010

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

ActionScript 3.0 :: Searching For A String In A XML Node?

Apr 6, 2009

loading in xml in as3 (I followed the excellent Kirupa example [URL] and so far so good.

I now want to check if a certain string is present in a particular node and if so run a certain action. For example:

say my xml has a node like so:

<fruit>
<apples>
<item>Customer likes Granny Smith, Winesap and Fuji apples</item>
</apples >
</fruit>

How can I check if a string is present in a node eg

nodeVal = displayData.fruit.apples[i];
if(nodeVal == "Granny Smith"){
//perform certain action here
}

IDE :: Matching Text String When Filtering Node Values

var authorList:XMLList = bookInput.Book.(author == "Stephen E. Ambrose");
Using the above code it only searches the node which author value is "Stephen E. Ambrose" but I want to search only "Stephen" and want to get this node returned.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Flash From Concatenating Strings?

Jan 6, 2011

I have an external interface call which I need to pass several values to. Each value has an indentifier string and the value itself.

Code: ExternalInterface.call("submitIUR", answers +"promo", promo+ "url", nextUrl); The problem is that when I pass this through to the javascript function, flash concatenates the identifier strings. So for example if promo is 12345 when passed through the "url" indentifier gets tacked on the end so I get 12345url.

Is there an easy way to separate out the variables being passed through to stop the strings being tacked on to the variables?

IDE :: Concatenating Text In Dynamic Field Of MovieClip

Dec 1, 2009

I'm writing a menu generating script. It's suppose to display arrays
and any inner arrays.
Ex:["test item",["item 1",["item 2","item 3"]],"item 4"];

These movie clips should be displayed if the actionscript is correct.:
test item
item 1 <---this of course, has a following subarray
item 4
and the submenu should display:
item 2
item 3

I run the script and it see's the inner array items ["item 2", "item 3"] and shows them in the next submenu -FINE---but what I get in the main menu to my surprise is 'run-on text' in the Dynamic field of that movieclip. ex:
test item
item 1; item 2; item 3 <---? seems to concatonate inner items in text field
item 4

I only want to see text "item 1" ....not the items associated with it as well.
(they are already displayed in submenu)

Code:
for (var i = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) {
var menuItemName = "mc_menu_item_" + i;
if (typeof(menuArray[i]) == "object") {
this["mc_menu_box"].attachMovie("h_menu_middle_sub", menuItemName, tempLevel);

Regex :: Use The String.match Method To Find Multiple Occurrences Of The Same Word In A String?

May 25, 2010

In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.
