I used this call: "dataXML.APARTADO.APARTADO1.text()[j]" to acces the second level items in a XML loaded file in a for loop.Is there a way to substitute the APARTADO1 level for a variable?What I want is to access APARTADO1, APARTADO2... in the XML file with a variable. I have tried to substitute it by a variable string but it returns "null". I don't know why. If you need more information I can attach my code.

If folders couldn't contain one another than it would be like this myNode = xml.folder.(@id == 4).
My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

View 2 RepliesNormally, I declare a variable at the very top of all my code like, var myObj: Myobj = new Myobj();...
but for some reason the the new variable being declared is necessary to present within the function, like displaying same objects in the library using for loop.
I notice that variable declare within a function will not be accessible outside the function or from another event handler or from another function....
I have seen code that make it possible my declaring a new variable?

View 1 RepliesI have a MC that pulls in XML data. The data it calls is content and a link. To make the MC launch the link I'm using the "onRelease" function. The MC pulls in the data from the content node and the data from the link node just fine. The problem is when my client just wants content without a URL the MC still keeps the "onRelease" function, so the content (that shouldn't be linkable) is still clickable and launches a "error" page.I'm trying to disable the "onRelease" function by checking if the URL node has data in it but I can't figure out a way to do this?THIS SCRIPT IS WITH IN THE MC:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.linkName = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

Here's the scenario: We have a creative team that operates in Flash CS5.5 and produces SWF assets which have both graphics elements and actionscript code in them, and an engineering team which authors .as files and builds "code SWFs". The code SWF files must load or embed the creative assets and interact with the code therein for our apps to function.
For iOS mobile development, there is another consideration - it is not possible to load runtime code in an AIR app packages for iOS because of Apple TOS (see related question). Hence, it is not possible to use a Loader to load SWFs in an iOS environment and retain their code.
Embedding a SWF into an ActionScript file the standard way results in a Loader that loads the embedded SWF directly as bytes. This results in access to the top-level, main timeline as follows:

I've got to (quickly!) add an intro to an existing flash masthead on a site that I've inherited. I don't have access to the source .fla's, so I approached the problem by putting the intro in a wrapper swf and loading the current masthead and adding it to the display list on Event.INIT. So far, so good. (Incidentally, the swfs are built for flash player 9 and use AS3.)
The problem I'm having is that although the intro plays fine and loads / displays the beginning of the masthead swf, which is a loading animation, the masthead itself never actually plays. Essentially, my question is: what would cause an actionscript 3-based swf to behave differently when it's the child of another swf as opposed to at the top level of the embedded swf?
Potentially important details: Embedding is being handled with swfobject, and no flashvars are being passed in. There are two params, which are base: "/flash/" and wmode: "opaque". All the swfs and flash data live in /flash/. The flash elements (minus the intro I built) were constructed using the Inky flash framework, with which I'm not familiar.
UPDATE: I've reconsidered my approach to the problem and gotten it working by using ExternalInterface; I'm having the intro swf call a js function when it finishes playing, which swaps out the intro swf and replaces it with the current masthead (the approach is outlined here). I'd still like to know why I was witnessing the behavior I was seeing earlier, though, so any ideas and suggestions would be welcome.
The string representing the function name will be read from xml @ run time.
var combo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
combo.labelFunction = "functionName";
So the first name, which is to be displayed in the combo box, can be only retrieved by accessing another DTO, called person and then its first name.

i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error. My test show that XMLListCollection does NOT work either.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code:
myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider?
code:
[Bindable]
private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection();
private function getList(e:Event):void{
var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();

I have a Flex tree with an ArrayCollection as data provider. The ArrayCollection is composed by objects linked eachother by the "children" field (that is an Array containing other children objects)

Or do I need to create it myself?
How to do level adjustments (like Photoshop levels) on a bitmapData Object using the paletteMap method. I am fine with syntax and all that, just don't understand how the channel array values are used well enough to come up with them for myself. I have read to use a palette of 0 and 1, but I am not sure what that means. The goal of this is to take a grayscale image and get sharper black and white values for it. Also, I hope to understand how to use this method better in general.
