ActionScript 3.0 :: XML Parsing Not Working When Attribute Has A : In The Attribute Name?
May 13, 2009
I am having trouble parsing some xml that has a few attribute names with : characters in them. The compiler is not throwing any errors and when I trace my complete xml object out it is all there, however when I try to trace out any element or node it keeps comming up undefined. I removed the attribute names with : characters in them and everything works fine. I cant seem to target the attributes either to delete them.

have an RSS feed, within Flex I have connected to the feed via HTTPService, the XML structure is as follows (not exact, but for the purpose of the question). I am able to walk down the xml and access the data within the title and link nodes with success but when I get the the description node and try to access the img and src attributes within it, I haven't had any success. Reading about parsing with e4x the example I get is:
var xList:XMLList = xData.channel.item.description.(attribute("src"));
or
var xList:XMLList = xData.channel.item.description.(@src);
[code]......

I have an XML file I'm parsing out into a Flash movie. The XML contains multiple nodes, and within those nodes are multiple attributes.So, for example, there is a node called FirstNode. In that is an attribute FirstNodeID="1" and then there is another node, also called FirstNode which has an attribute of FirstNodeID="2". Each node also has attributes called Header and Body and so on.
What I'm wondering is, how do I call out specific things based on an attribute?Right now, when I call the Header attribute from FirstNode I get ALL of the Header information from ALL of the FirstNode nodes. I need to be able to get JUST the info from FirstNodeID="1", FirstNodeID="2" and so on as needed.
[Code]...
I'd like to be able to be able to simply rename the dynamic text fields and then only paste in the actionscript that defines what nodes to pull the text from and what fields to put it into. So everything from the //MAIN TEXT area in the actionscript above.

Given the following XML code:
<set name="thumbsBooks">
<set name="pdf">
<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
[code]....
I want to be able to get the data contained in the "thumb" tags using the "name" attribute value of the parent tag as a selector, something like you would do in jQuery: $('set[name="pdf"]').find('thumb');Is there a method like this in Action Script 2 (can't use AS3)?

Wanna see something interesting?
var xml:XML = XML(<feed><entry /><entry /><entry /></feed>);
trace(xml.entry.length()) // returns 3
Makes sense, right? Now let's add this attribute. var xml:XML = XML(<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><entry /><entry /><entry /></feed>); trace(xml.entry.length()) // returns 0
Well that can't be right. Let's try it with a different attribute.
var xml:XML = XML(<feed test="okay"><entry /><entry /><entry /></feed>);trace(xml.entry.length()) // returns 3
Anyone know what would cause this? I used atom as an example, but any 'xmlns' attribute on the root node seems to have this effect. The value returned is straight up false - there are obviously still 3 'entry' child nodes regardless of the attributes their parents possess.

For some reason this seems to no longer work in flex 4, it used to work in flex 3.[code]I am setting the xmlTitle variable outside of the component:<local:Comp xmlTitle="Some Title" />I have tried with getter / setters...etc. It just does NOT update when changing, it shows the default value and never changes. Is this a known new bug in flex 4?

I have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.

I am trying to get the value of an attribute full where another attribute name is equal to something e.target.name.
So in this case I am trying to get the value of "full"
var full_url = myXML.item.@full.(@name=="e.target.name");
This is my XML:
<item name="Toy Box" thumb="resize/thumb_image2.png" full="full_images/image2.png" />
<item name="Toy Train" thumb="resize/thumb_image3.png" full="full_images/image3.png" / >
<item name="Toy Truck" thumb="resize/thumb_image4.png" full="full_images/image4.png" />
So my as above should return one of the But when I trace full_url I get nothing and no errors.

I'm updating an old AS2 project and have a question about XML. This thing I'm working on uses two xml files, pics.xml and lang.xml. The last one of the two contains translations for the flash file and looks like this:
PHP Code:
<lang> <trans lang="sv"> <nextPic>N�sta bild</nextPic> <prevPic>F�reg�ende bild</prevPic> <showMap>Visa karta</showMap> </trans> <trans lang="en"> <nextPic>Next picture</nextPic> <prevPic>Previous picture</prevPic> <showMap>Show Map</showMap> </trans></lang>
and in the pics.xml you choose what language to display by setting an xml attribute to either "sv" or "en".My question is, how do I tell the function that parses lang.xml to only parse the node with the right language. If "sv" is set in pics.xml I only want to parse the first bit om lang.xml there, you se what I mean? I don't what to use something like: this.firstChild.childNodes[0].blahblah cos most likely the users of this will ad more languages...

How do you set a variable attribute of a xml element?This is what I expected to work:xmlElement.attribute(variableAttr) = "the variable attribute is set to this string";
However, I'm getting some error that this value can only be retrieved as a reference and not set.Ofcourse, the following does not work either as it will look for the attribute named "variableAttr" and not for the attribute named after the value of the variable variableAttr:
xmlElement.@variableAttr = "example";

I wish to extract an attribute from an XMLList and assign it to a string. Here is the snippet of the XML
<node>
<sport GAME="Squash" TIME1="2" TIME2="3" TIME3="8"/>
<sport GAME="Table Tennis" TIME1="4" TIME2="6" TIME3="7"/>
</node>
I have two variables. One variable will contain the game type, either Squash or Table Tennis. The other will contain one of the following strings "TIME1", "TIME2" or "TIME3". The variables are called game and time. I have tried many variations on the code below to get the needed attribute but with no joy.
var result:String = node.sport.(@GAME == game).(attribute(time));

I have a few different XML documents that get loaded into my app. What I would like to know how to do is search the incoming XML string for a certain attribute (apple or peach) then route its use to the correct location.example:
<boringExample1 apple ="somevalue" ... />
<boringExample2 peach="somevalue" ... />
I am not trying to read the value of the attribute but the name of attribute itself. if my XML string has apple attribute go here else if my XML string has peach attribute go there. I hope that makes sense
