I have 2 attributes of screen node which are title and tasks. how can I access these 2 attributes at the same time in AS3 Is that correct: excel.chapter.screen.(@title == "lesson").@tasks
How do I get all the attributes that exist on a XML node? For example, I have the following XML:
<item id="100">
<defaults width="10" height="100" post="true">
</item>
I would like to get the names and values on the defaults node.
Here is some starter code:
if (item.defaults) {
var attributes:Object = item.defaults.@*; // found in another post
for each (var value:String in attributes) {

Is there a way to list the attributes of an XML node?
For example, let's say the XML you're reading is just one tag[code]...
But I don't know what all of the possible attributes are, so it's obviously hard for me to test for them all.
I could find out what all of the possibilities are, but that would require MUCH more work than finding out how to list the attributes, because a for loop sounds much nicer than dozens of if statements.
I'm having an issue grabbing xml node attributes through a multidimensional loop.Here is the Actionscript:
Code:
-------------------------------------------------*/
var FourPlayerXML:String = "videoPlayer.xml";

Does anyone know of a trick to ignore upper/lower/camelcase on XML node names and attributes?A quick example: I give an XML file to my client which contains an XML attribute named fooID but the client could change the XML, and - not being aware of upper/lowercaseness change or add an attribute under 'fooid'. Naturally my parser (in AS3) would ignore the all lowercase attribute. Note that the value contained in fooID isn't the problem here but the attribute name itself.

I would like to sort xml nodes using attribute datumNum, but I can't get it to work. Don't know how to pass attribute to sortOn function before the for loop.
Note that there is maybe a error in xml parsing code here, because I tried to be as short as I can.
I am loading an xml file and some of the node attributes do not have values:
<books>
<book id="qq" description="test1"></book>
<book id="nn" description""></book>
</books>
I get a null object reference when I try to run the second book line because of the missing description. Can I check for this in code and skip accessing the description for this line?
Something like if (xml_book.@description is null) {do nothing}else{do something)?
How many xml node attributes can be passed to a Combobox item? scenario:
[Code]...
I need the first one to label the item, the second to access the video and the third to access the caption xml.
var node:XML;
In flex/actionscript 3, I can call node.attribute("somename") and get the value of the "somename" atribute of the node. I can also call node.attributes() and get the VALUES of ALL the attributes. But how the heck do I know what attributes to look for?! The application I am creating does not know the format of the XML file in advance. I need a way to know the NAMES of the attributes of the nodes, before I can access them by name!

Is it possible to display multiple attributes in a mx:Tree component? The XML looks like this:
<item comment="blabla" author="user1" date="21.05.2011">
<item comment="blabla" author="user2" date="21.05.2011"/>
<item comment="blabla" author="user3" date="21.05.2011"/>
</item>
I want each node to display the comment, author and date, on separate lines.
I am planning to use this to display something like the facebook wall: someone writes a message and the other users can comment.
I'm using an external XML file to populate a video playlist. So I'm parsing the attributes like this:
tileList.addItem({label:item.attribute("description"),
label:item.attribute("details").toXMLString(),
data:item.attribute("src").toXMLString(),
source:thumbnail});;
But the "details" attribute is not showing up. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The XML element that holds the attributes looks like this:
<vid description="My description"
details="More detailed description."
src="movies/myMovie.flv"
thumbnail="thumbnails/myImage.jpg" />
I would like that my executeShape function insert a new XMLChildnode called "adverts" to my Pages:XML via the evenListener of the execute_bt. I tryed copying the nodes and it works but it copy a blank "adverts" node in betwen each node copied. so i tryed with appendChild, but it works only once, then it say error. so i tryed with inserChildafter or inserChildbefore but this one doesnt work at all because "advert" doesnt exist. I understand why all my suggestions does'nt work (copied or append or insertchild), but i dont figure out how to get what i want . i love AS but im no advance in enought..
My XML structure that I want is quite simple : i just want that every time I press the execute_bt, a new "adverts" is added to the Pages XML[code]...

I just did Kirupa's (excellent) XML/AS3 tutorial, and I still have one important question. How can I set up and search for an XML node with multiple entries?
for example:
Code:
<Movie>
<MovieTitle>Nine Months</MovieTitle>
<Actors>Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Tom Arnold</Actors>
<Movie>
That way, I can use a "for" loop or something (?) to search for actor Hugh Grant, and it'll return all of his (excellent) movies.
I've got a multilevel node structure that looks something like this

I want to do a search for the first node that matches an id. I usually use this syntax:
xmldata.*.(@qid == "a2")[0]
but it looks like it's not working for multiple nested levels. Is there a way of finding the node without looping through and archiving the content?
I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]
This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c
Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.
i use loadmovie() to load youtube videos inside my flash website but when i load another video the old one doesn't stop, so i tried unloadmovie to destroy it but it seems that i did a mistake in my code
This is how the code looks to stop the old one an load the new:
vloader.unloadMovie();
vloader.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/Alw5hs0chj0&hl=fr&fs=1hJ-mPcGtC");
How to do that? use other objects or classes, i only want to edit that code.
Note: I have an empty MOVIE CLIP called "vloader" where i load the video player.
