I am trying to count the number of nodes in an XML file but the names of the nodes will differ slightly, probably by a number. In the code below I need to know how many'commandx' nodes I have, 'x' being a number.
Code:
<requiredRootNode>
<command1>
[code].....
Let's say I have a XML file with three types of nodes; type1, type2 and type3.How do I count the number of nodes named type1?
View 1 RepliesWhat actionscript code will be able to determine these numerals for me and assign them to variables? I want 1 variable to tell me how many firstChild(s?) there are <inventors>
Another variable to tell me how many children each firstChild(?) has, <person>
And another variable to tell me how many children each <person> has (name & comment)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<list>

I'm creating a news rotator based on RSS feed XML. I would like to display the number of news items and which number is currently displaying as they rotate through the timer. (i.e. item 2 of 4)I have been able to get the total number of items using the length() method, but I'm not sure how to reference each item. Do I need to actually append a node and assign a number or is there an easier way.
My code looks like this so far:

In Flash AS3 i wanna write the single try catch block in order to catch any errors in whole class. For ex, i have a lot of functions in myClass.as. I don'w wanna write in each function try catch blocks in order to catch errors in this function. Is there any methods to do this?
View 2 RepliesI develop a piece of code that brings me to an xml, all Nodes i use this code:
for(var i=0; i< menu_xml.childNodes.length; i++){
corrent_node = menu_xml.childNodes[i].length;corrent_item.action = corrent_node.attributes.action;corrent_item.variables = corrent_node.attributes.variables;corrent_item.name.text = corrent_node.attributes.name;

What I need is for each of the nodes highlighted in green to return the child Nodes. Example: when I move the mouse over the menu Indoor lighting, the results should be: Indoorlighting | LED 10W> 3W LED> LED 6W
For those unfamiliar with tree structures, tree structures are usually dynamic lists where every node has a pointer to two other nodes. They are arranged so it makes for faster searching and stuff and are very useful in programming languages that offer direct access to heap memory. Although I don't know if there would be benefits of making tree structures in AS would be of any help but I decided to have a go at it anyway. Since there are no pointers in flash I tried to just replace pointers to nodes with nodes themselves. Such things usually work in java I think because the language just automatically makes pointers for variables.

I created a timer with found tutorials and the Flash help files and everything works fine. My timer counts up from 000.000,0 to 999.000,0. Now I would like to also be able to do the same, but counting down from 999.000,0 to 000.000,0
Easy enough I thought, but now . how to make some modifications in my code to count down.
My code for counting up is the follow:
Code: Select allvar hours:Number = 0;
var seconds:Number = 0;
var minutes:Number = 0;
var pauseTime:Number = 0;

hy this very simple preloader is not counting? It sits still on 1%, thats it, then eventually the content of the next scene fills the screen.(I use to import a number of heavy images to Scene 2 to slow the loading process down.)
View 2 Repliesand had another query on it. The AS on the first frame so far is :
//start number
var nr = 0;
//end number
[code].....
I'm working on a demo (mx 04) and it has a little over 14,000 frames so far. The preloader was working before but now it isn't. Is there a limit or something to how flash works when there are so many frames used?
View 5 Replieswhy this very simple preloader is not counting? It�s stuck on 1% (or whatever), then eventually the content of the next scene fills the screen. If you can�t open the attached file here�s the plan:There are 3 scenes. Scene 2 and 3 are just filled with images, or that�s the idea at least.Scene 1 is called "Preloader". It contains one layer("actions") with two frames. The first frame has the following actionscript:
a = getBytesLoaded();
b = getBytesTotal();
c = Math.ceil((a/b)*100)+"%";
if(a == b) {
nextScene();
}
The second frame has the following action:
gotoAndPlay(1);
In the first frame of the actions layer, on the stage, there is a dynamic textbox with the variable "_root.c"(no quotations).
i have a dynamic text box with the var: counter, instance: c2 i have a MC on the screen with the code

i want to put some coding on the frame they are on to say, when the text box counter reaches 200, gotoAndStop(2); but i was puzzled as to how,
trying to count key presses in a 30 sec interval. if the number of keypresses is above say 20 in 30 secs they go to a new frame, otherwise they go back to the start and the count begins again. using as2 and flash cs4. very confused.... not sure if onEnterFrame is better than keyListener.

I'm using a PHP Script to create XML. Which pulls through the data from a Database. I have an video list, which pulls through X amount of videos. But I want to show them 5 at a time. I want to hide a button once it reaches the amount of videos in the XML.Hope there's enough detail in this question. My script is as follows.....
// Event Handler
protected function videoRetrieval_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
var videoData:ArrayCollection = event.result.videos.video;

In the first frame you have to input numbers in three input text fields. And then in next frame when you press "1" "2" and "3" the same numbers appears in three dynamic text fields. I've done all that, but what I cannot figure out is how to make this numbers appear with counting up (e.g. by 50 [0, 50, 100, 150,...]).
I saw already this old thread showthread.php3?t=116768&page=2 (sorry, not allowed to post links) and I tried to manage the code from user "sunlis" to work, but not successfully. And his code is written in ActionScript 1 or 2, I'm not sure, but I need ActionScript 3.0 code.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to generate a random background and css file using an xml document. My xml structure is as such:
PHP Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<backgrounds>
<pic>
[Code]....
The problem is, I don't want to use an array like I have it right now, because then updating it is a pain. What I want to do is retrieve the xml file, count the *pic* element and take that number and put it into a variable to multiply it by *random*. I then want to display the background file in an empty mc, as well as retrieve the *name* and *location* elements and display them in a text box. D**n this sounds complicated now.
I've got flash animation down pretty well. I'm working on a photojournal system, based on the kirupa.com photo gallery tutorial, and I'm working on customizing it. Part of this being a image count number(dynamictext named 'viewed') that changes each time the button's pushed forward or backward, but is limited to the number of photos...I'm currently at this point:for my back button I have this:
on(release){
if(_root.viewed < 60){
_root.viewed--
}
}
and for my forward button I have this:
on(release){
if(_root.viewed < 60){
_root.viewed++
}
}
Now the problem is that well, the backbutton goes into negatives once it gets down to zero, and the forward button stops at 60... but the gallery loops, it goes from the last image to the first when you go forward and vice versa going back ward, is there anyway I can get this to go 0 to 60 backward and forward with AS?

I have dynamic number of files inside a folder. Every file has 2 variables in it vt11 and vt11s. I need a script that checks if the variables in the files have certain values and if it has this value than it counts this file. Basically what this script does is that it counts how many files in the folder have the same 2 variables in it and than displays this number in the text box. The above script always shows 1, no mater how many files with the same 2 variables are in folder.
I have a function that calculates how many characters remaining the user can type, but I don't know why it only starts counting from the 2nd characters. Means at the end I will able to type an extra character from the maximum amount I set.[code]...
