I am trying to obtain strings from a xml file: I tried the following:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("blog.xml");
var xml:XML; var rss:URLLoader = new URLLoader();rss.load(url);rss.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, readRss);
function readRss(e:Event):void{ xml = XML(rss.data); txt_field.text=xml.entry[1].author.name;
}
[Code]...
So i have this chunk of XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<groups>
<group>
[code].....
how to parse XML very well !
my problem is simple, i have a php file that do XML, the XML is generated with the php code with the elements in my mySQL Base.
When i replace this line :
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("donneesFlash.xml"));
by
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("donneesFlash.php"));
[Code]...
Because my URL Request is .php, so for flash i can't do new XML();
I'm still trying to wrap my head around XML and am having trouble getting images and text from the XML file into my Flash document.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI 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]...

View 4 RepliesI would like to load in Flash the next bit:
Code: Select all<IFRAME SRC="http://tickertape.beurs.nl/beursnl/ticker.aspx?width=750&speed=15" NORESIZE SCROLLING=NO HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=25></IFRAME>
I know this is not possible in Flash, but I thought maybe there is a roundabout to get this to work anyway..Is it maybe possible to load in the above mentioned bit of code with XML ?
I've been following Lee's tutorial on XML Basics with AS3 and I'm having a problem displaying the output of an xml document after creating the XML object.

What I have to do it's a "profile viewer": for each member of a band I have the profile (some text, and only text).I was thinking about to use this code on the XML file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<members>
<graffin>
<content>blah blah blah</content>
[code]....
So... On the movie clip that show the picture of the member I'll have a textbox to show the 'content' of the profiles. On the keyframe where I have the pic of, for example, Brooks, I'll have this textbox. I want to parse only the content of Brooks, and I wanna do the same for each member (they are 6... yeah, 3 guitars lol).
I'm trying to get my head around parsing this xml structure dynamically so that I don't have to know which elements have children in advance of parsing the xml.Here's the structure:

good function for parsing a string in as3 to remove all characters that are not alphanumeric (and ideally being able to add a few more characters such as _ )
I want to use it to check user input before sending it to PHP (which checks it as well but I would like to have the user side ie flash check it first).
I am sure I could write it by creating an array of the characters I want it limited to and working through each character in the user input and removing those that don't match; but this seems slow and cumbersome.
Alternatively passing it to PHP and having that use its string functions to check then pass back to flash; but I would rather it done purely on the Flash side.
I have very large pngs (20000x20000) that have sprites of an animation.
I cant load the whole file as a bitmap because it exceeds the maximum image size that flash allows.
Is there a way to load the file as bytes, and then parse it into several small bitmapdatas that each contain one sprite of the animation?
I need to parse XML that is being dynamically created using php with AS3 so that I can feed the nodes into dynamic text fields on my stage.
I feel like this should be pretty straightforward, but am running into problems where I can't get flash to talk to my nodes (I get an error where: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert XML@29578251 element <key> to XMLList.) and I have searching for forever to try to figure out how to resolve this.[code]...

Here is my XML layout:
Actionscript Code:

I've been putting together a script to parse twitter feeds via xml, add the html code to link any hyperlinks in the post and throw each resulting post into one of two textareas (box0 & box1). Unfortunatly it is printing all 3 (the amount so far posted) posts into each text box. How to fix this code to
a) put 1 post per box and
b) limit the amount of posts it pulls from the xml
Code:
function checkWord(word:String):String {
if(word.indexOf("http:") == 0) {

return "<a href='" + word + "'>" + word + "</a>";
