I have a question about getting data out of a XML. I have made the following XMLand as you can see I have a structure like this:
<gallery>
<subgallery>

I've been working on a flash presentation for work. It's pretty much a mini-site with links to PDF's files and DOCS for distributors. I am feeding everything from an XML file so we can easily update this presentation for our other products.
I've run into a problem on the last part of this swf and I can't seem to get the proper syntax to get this working properly. I am looping through the childNodes and creating MC and filling with data. I can loop through the first set of childNodes no problem. But its when one of these first set childNodes has a set of childNodes itself, I cant pair up that data with it's parent on the flash movie.
So here's my XML:
Code:
<page title="KIT CONTENTS">
<documents>
<doc title="Patient Instructions" file="pdf/patient_inst.pdf">Patient instructions

I have an XMLList 'Keywords', which consists of about 30 elements. I want to count the number of unique keywords in the List, and how often they occur. Then display the top 3 most occuring keywords.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to work with XML in flash here and ran into an issue. I need to collect all the nodes in an XMLList that contains a certain childnode with a certain value. For example, from the XML below I just want to get the ''product'' nodes that have 1 as a value for ''amount'', i.e product 3 and 5.
And it's not a typo for product 3... ;(
<xml>
<product>
<title>Product 1</title>
<amount>4</amount>

I've horizental images scroller added on my website using xml and actionscript 2.0. All images loaded perfectly and the scrolling function works great too but the main problem is that in actionscript all the links are in external flash however i want to use all links in internal flash using actionscript on all those images so that i can get the flash popup window from there on.I'm not able to find a method to link those images in actionscript to use flash functions. Below is my actionscript code and xml code.[code]

im trying to write a handfull of XML functions in AS2.0 and im trying to find a way of getting flash to detect the number of attributes in a childNode. <item name="aaron" location="sydney" sex="male"/> as in finding out how many of these ^ there are in each item.
how I would do this? I've tried for...in... statements and even trying to access them as objects i.e. ...ode[0].attributes["name"] but it never works - I always have to hard code...ode[0].attributes.name to get the value. im sure theres a way to do this, there has to be a way.
im working on a flash file where im loading a title, description and image from an xml file.
im using this tutorial from Kirupa [URL] and have everything working fine. my only problem is I can't seem to figure out how to load a specific childnode when clicking a button. right now when the user clicks a button, it loads the next or previous childnode using this code
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();

is there any way to target a specific childnode within the xml file? im using Flash CS3 AS2

View 3 RepliesI have seven movieclips that I want to load individual ChildNode information into from an XML file. Is there a way to pass that XML info into individual MovieClips for each individaul ChildNode?
Here's the code I have so far.
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();myLoader.load(new URLRequest("links.xml"));myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);function processXML(e:Event):void {myXML = new XML(e.target.data);trace(myXML.*);}

xmlList is alive and well in the xmlLoaded function. I need to access it in the loadMusic.fla.
difference between XML and XMLList in my example code? I am passing a node to the function and extracting the url of the file:
private function getFile(node:XMLList):String {
var file:String;
for(var i:uint=0; i<node.children().length(); i++) {
trace("Test 1: "+node.children()[i].@id);

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?
I am trying to parse some XML i have retrieved via e4x in an HTTPService. The loop works and for each episode in the list it goes through the loop. However i get the following error when it is trying to append to an XMLList.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I am trying to query the local SQLite database and see if the episode exists (working) and if it does append to one xmllist and if not then append to the other xmllist.

How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?
View 2 RepliesMy Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
I am working with an XML list at the moment, which looks like this:
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="3"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="4"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="5"/>

I have the following XMLList and am trying to return the XMLList with the node having the label Mail Box or Outbox, depending on string variable called folder. folder can either be equal to "Mail Box" or "Outbox".

<node label="Inbox">

I'm trying to loop through an XMLList and rather than giving me each item in the list as XML, it's just coming back with the positions as strings e.g.
[Code]...
It just alerts "0" or "1". If I inspect the 'item' variable, I see the same thing. But if I inspect 'myList' it looks like the XML. I've also tried myList.children() and strongly typing 'items' to 'XML' but nothing I do has worked.
What I want to do is loop through an xml file, and assign the contents of each node to a static variable with the same name. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI have this xml file.[code]But I want these node names, example: element,attribute,element in arrayList.[code]
View 1 RepliesThe aim is to get the flat xmllist out of a xml: each item of the xmllist would be a descendant (not just child) of the xml. This way I have all the nodes of an xml inside the xmllist.
For example:

<b >
<b1/>

I am trying to make a simple news feed. Same code as the Basic AS3 XML sample by Lee. Can't get the XMLList to return anything.If I trace the var "xml" I get my xmlfile.

View 5 RepliesI'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.

So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
I have a problem with XML filtering. [code]If there is only one result, trace is empty. If there are 2 results or more, they will be traced fine. Is it because one result is not an XML 'list'? If so, how do I get the results if there is only one match?

<content> <TextFlow color="#000000" columnCount="2"> <p>One</p></TextFlow> </content>
I need to get <textFlow> as an XMLList and as String.
If I have an XMLList object in Flex, what is the proper way to check to see if the list is empty? Should I just compare the result of myList.length() > 0, myList.toString() != "" or try another method altogether?
