ActionScript 3.0 :: Parse A Large XML File Using A For Loop To Populate A Listcomponent?
Mar 13, 2010
I'm trying to parse a rather large XML file using a for loop to populate a listcomponent. To let the user know the XML is being parsed (takes 5-10 sec.) I want to create a simple notifier/preloader (loader_mc is on the stage, frame 1, and should inform that things are being loaded/parsed).The problem is that nothing shows as long as the loop is busy.Is there some kind of progresslistener for the loop in AS3 or some kind of Event.PROGRESS for the XML load that will kick in BEFORE the loop starts.I even tried to move this script to frame 2 but still the loader_mc wouldn't show.[code]...........

I need to parse a large trace file (up to 200-300 MB) in a Flex application. I started using JSON instead of XML hoping to avoid these problems, but it did not help much. When the file is bigger than 50MB, JSON decoder can't handle it (I am using the as3corelib).
Try to split the file: I would really like to avoid this; I don't want to change the current format of the trace files and, in addition, it would be very uncomfortable to handle.Use a database: I was thinking of writing the trace into a SQLite database and then reading from there, but that would force me to modify the program that creates the trace file.

I'm just starting to learn flex and AS3I'm trying to get information into a datagrid that originates from a mathmatical formula. For example if I have 100 and I subtract 5 from it and continue to do so until it reaches 0 so my grid would be something like:
100 | -5
95 | -5
90 | -5

don't know how to frame my query but i'll try to be as specific as possible.Let's say I have an xml file which I load into my flash app and then populate a listbox with it.So I'll take following steps1. load xml file2. parse xml file and make an array of items to be put in listbox3. loop through the array and populate the listbox (basically attachMovie)Now for step 3 I have been using for loop. This is ok if there are small number of items in a list box. But when the list is quite long (say 200 to 500 items) there is certain lag.same paradigm applies if I have to put different graphic elements on a blank board dynamically.

I have a Flash site I am developing that feeds in XML into various arrays and populates dynamic movie clips and text fields. I am having trouble making a for loop that works with my movieclips and text fields. I am probably only missing one step and if I can figure it out I will cut my lines of code about 10X. I have attached the fla and image files in a zip file.

Given there is no tree component in Flash CS3, I used the following tutorial [URL] and managed to populate the tree from an xml file. However I am now finding it difficult to perform certain actions such as:
- adding/deleting items from the tree
- save tree back to xml format
- copy child nodes from one tree to another

I trying to populate a combobox from a .php file and return the values of the selection. I have the .php set up to where it outputs something like
&artists=anartist,anartist2,anartist3, etc..they have names..
I already have the combobox set up to where it displays
anartist
anartist2
anartist3
after you click the dropdown arrow..How would I get it to return a the numerical value for the artist (ex: anartist would be "0" since it is first in the list) and put it into a variable so that when it is selected it could be placed into an eval() function to create a variable such as "albumcover0" to be loaded through a function. I have been reading tutorials for hours to no avail. I want a single function to produce the number from the selected artist and place it into a variable, then go through all of the loadImage(for the "album image") etc functions..they will be functions that I have made already previously and call all of them with the number in the called fuctions (ex: loadImage(0)) where "0" is the number derived from the variable out of the combo box. Ive tried tons of tutorials, I think that it has something to do with me using flash mx 2004, and as2 turned on.

I have a 3rd party programme which generates the xml file below, and it re-writes the xml file every time a new message is received by that 3rd party programme. What I'm trying to do is find a way to read in the relevant flashvars (if that's the right term) into a flash file (basically I want to read in messages 1 - 6), ignore the rest of the xml, display the messages and then re-load the xml about every 30 seconds (in case it's changed). I guess this is pretty much like a news reader of sorts, but I don't have any control over the structure of the xml file, so if someone could point me in the right sort of direction, then I'm happy to have a go at learning. I did try messing with a basic news reader flash file that I downloaded, but it didn't seem to like the xml - I guess because each message in the xml has its own number?[code]...

I have a text file with about 1000 rows of data and about 100 values (separated by spaces) in each row. What I need to do is to load the data into Flash into a separate array for each row of data, but am not sure how to get started. I will no doubt have to name each array dynamically as I don't want to hand code 1000 names for arrays!

We would like to write some automated process of fetching data from quiet a few SWF (Flash ActionScript 3) files.
Aside from that, we would like it to run automatically as a part of our automated-deployment-script (written in Ant, runs on Linux).
any SWF-parsing tools that allow to check for instance-data-per-frame ? (Adobe AIR won't run in a console-linux, as far as I saw in Google)

I am trying to parse an some xml that is coming from a php file. I used the DOMDocument to write the xml and then echoed it back out. It's perfectly formatted I'm sure. When I load the php file from flash I don't get any errors but it won't trace the xml. I even have the header ("content-type: text/xml"); in the php file. Can flash pick up xml data from a php file assuming everything is done correctly?

I am sure this is fairly simple but I just can't get it to work. I am pretty sure it is because of my lack of knowledge in AS 3 and something to do with my variable. Anyway here are the two snippets hopefully someone can make sense of it

I am currently working on an educational project. After submitting for review, the clients have requested I make an array which was hard coded in the as file, to read from xml. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to populate the array with the information contained in the xml file.
hard coded in the as file
wordList = ("Paper,Plastic,Reduce,Retrieve,Litter,Trash,Glass,Recycle").split(",");
I am wantying to replace the word lists that are included with the information in the xml file so as to allow different users to create different words for the list without having to edit anything othere than the xml file.

I'm trying to populate an array with info loaded in from an xml file. I've got the xml loading fine and I can trace everything but cannot seem to access the info outside of the function...here's my code:
Code:
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
populateNav(myXML);
} else {
[Code]...
My trace inside of the populateNav function works great...all the info is there and image_path returns all of my...image paths. So my XML is fine...what I can't seem to do is pass that info outside of the populateNav function. My imageholder trace returns undefined. I think it's got something to do with the fact that the imageholder trace is being performed before the xml is fully loaded...not sure what to do about that though.

I use a library to parse an iCalendar file, but I don't understand the regex to split property. iCalendar property has 3 different style:
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080402
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;WKST=MO
The library uses this regex that I would like to understand:
var matches:Array = data.match(/(.+?)(;(.*?)=(.*?)((,(.*?)=(.*?))*?))?:(.*)$/);
p.name = matches[1];
p.value = matches[9];
p.paramString = matches[2];

So I am starting off writing a class to parse an XML file
In the setup of the FLA, I start off with this:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.xml.XMLDocument;
[Code].....
I get a compile time error telling me that it can't find the class. So I check, and recheck, and the class is there, so I'm baffled.
Then, just for giggles, I try typing:
ActionScript Code:
trace(coms.utils.XMLParser);
right after I import the classes. And for some reason, suddenly, I get no compile time errors, and the document loads, traces out, and the method I call in the class traces out its little "hello" message...
If I comment out that trace, it goes right back to being broken...
So seriously, what gives. Has anyone ever run into anything like this before? I'm running CS4 on an iMac, if that makes a difference.
