Data Integration :: Pulling Data From A SharePoint 2007 List?

Apr 23, 2010

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).

As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Pulling XML Data?

Sep 21, 2006

I created a file that pulls data from the worldofwarcraft.com serverstatus xml page.The data populates a dropdown list and you can choose the server and it tells you if its up or down. The mini app works great on my desktop, when I upload it to my server it no longer retrieves the data.

Is Bliz blocking my server address from recieving the data? Anyone know how to navigate around this. [URL]..If you want to test it grab the swf out of your cache and load it from your desktop, it will work.

I've got a bit that loads a big chunk of xml data about products.I push product info into an array(e.g. productArray), then add that array to another array (e.g. allProductsArray)How do I sort those arrays? For instance, if I want to sort the allProductsArray based on the info in productArray[0]?Alternatively, would something other tha an array of arrays be a better route?This loader loads the same sort of info for many different clients, so the bit to sort on will change.

Flash :: Obtain And Push JSON Data Into Arrays?

Sep 13, 2010

so I have a JSON link that contains a couple of nodes (not sure what you call them in JSON) that I need to put into arrays in ActionScript, but I'm still having trouble trying to trace out all the specific node content.I found a similar question here, but the fix just showed how to trace out the entire JSON file (which shows up in my output window as [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],...)first node: {"captions":[{"content":"[hello world] ","startTime":0,"duration":4000}

My code:

private function onCaptionsComplete( event:Event ):void
{
//var jsonObj:Object = JSON.decode(event.target.data);[code].....

captions: undefined

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.What I would like to be able to do is put the content data into the captionsContent Array, and the startingTime into a startingTime Array, same with the duration data.

Arrays :: Flash - Data Being Lost Outside Of Loader Function

Nov 4, 2011

Trying to make a grid based question answer game and load variables from a text file using for loops into an array. I wanted to reduce redundant code and use for loops to populate my arrays. The issue I am having is with my arrays being lost/destroyed outside of the loader function.

I understand that if an array is declared inside the function, naturally the array would be destroyed upon exit of the function. However I am declaring the arrays outside of the function so the arrays should remain intact after I exit the function.

BTW - I'm not having an issue with the loading of the data. The data is loading correctly. The array is simply being destroyed after the data has loaded.

//Create the arrays to hold the
//categories, questions, and answers
var categoryArray:Array = new Array();
var quesAnswArray:Array = new Array();

Data Integration :: Pulling In Children Of Children In XML

Sep 23, 2006

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.

Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

Arrays :: Flash - Pushing Or Adding Arrays As Values Into A Multi-dimensional Array?

var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........


I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

private var locXML:XML = new XML();

how can I do that without taking up 2000 lines of code? I was hard coding a number in each one of those '[]' brackets, but that is becoming very painstaking...?

AS3 :: Arrays - Accessing XML Data Randomly

After reading data from XML source I like to be able to show one random item from data whenever, say, clicked a button. I think I can accomplish this by storing the data into an array and use it from the array. I would like to learn if possible to do it directly from xml without storing it into another array.

myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("XML_NOTES.xml"));

ActionScript 2.0 :: Incrementing Within Arrays Using XML Data

Jan 6, 2007

I'm working with a gallery grabbing images from data extracted from an external XML file, and I'm trying to make it work in a hierarchical or folder like structure in Flash 8.For instance, thumbnails are displayed on load, and when a thumbnail is clicked, more thumbnails specific to the image clicked are displayed.As sort of a beginner to Flash and ActionScript, I've been working with this project for a couple months.There is one obstacle I'm facing within the 'for' loops I'm using.First, an example of my XML file is like this:[code]This way displays the catalog look just as I'd like, but it is only good for the first piece of art since this 'for' loop only loops through the <products> node within the first <art> node. Now, if I change 'this.childNodes[0]'to 'this.childNodes[1]',I can display the <products> for the next <art> node.The part that I have not been able to figure out is how to increment that 'this.childNodes[x]' so that I can use it in an onRelease function.

Actionscript 3 :: Preferable Way To Manage Data Classes Or Arrays?

Now if I want to add a weapon into my inventory, easy, i just use inventoryArray.push(weaponArray[1]) Easy, I just added the weapon into my inventory.I've been looking into Design patterns, and it seems that most OOP designs are using classes and inheriting from a superclass. Component-->Weapon-->Sword-->LongSword. What should I go with, putting all data in one array or using the inherit style, with one class containing a single weapon?

Xml :: Make Flex Create One-element Arrays From Data?

Nov 2, 2009

I retrieve XML data in Flex via HttpService. I have the resultFormat property on the HttpService instance set to HTTPService.RESULT_FORMAT_OBJECT. The result contains data similar to this:

<!-- ... -->
<children>
<item><!-- ... --></item>

[Code]....

I get an array named item beneath the element children when there is more than one item sibling. If there's only one, the conversion can't distinguish it from a scalar.

What do I need to change to have Flex convert all item elements to an array with 0 or more elements?

What would I have to do to get an array member children, dropping the item wrappers altogether?

The XML is generated by Struts on the server side. I always have the option to change the structure of the document there, but right now I'm interested in what I can do with Flex.
