I have an xml document like the below one that I am trying to parse using AS3. I want to get all of the classes who have students playing Basketball. I thought that I could do something like:
var sport:String = "BasketBall";
var bbClasses:XMLList = xml.classes.class.(students.student.commitments.comm==sport);
Unfortionatly this is returning me an empty XMLList.

View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 3 RepliesThe XML file is formatted like this:[code]The traces are all for debug purposes.If I place this code into the actions panel of the first frame of the flash document (without the thisObj:TriviaGame = this part), everything works fine and I get correct traces.If I place this code within TriviaGame.as, all of the traces print 'undefined', but it claims to have opened the file correctly.I've found a lot of XML tutorials on this site, but none of them seem to deal with processing XML from within a class file--they all put the code directly on the frame.

I've got a function that loads an XML file, and processes it into an array. Outside the function, if I trace for any of the contents of the array, it comes back undefined. What I've noticed is that the trace command is triggered before the array has been populated, even though the function to populate the array is called prior to the trace command.Here's the code:
Code:
var playListArray = new Array();
var myXML:XML = new XML();

View 3 RepliesFrom a position on an Array of sector Sprites on an 11 x 11 grid, I am trying to "sense" what Child occurs at nearby sector Sprites. I felt certain I could use something like this
if (sectorArray [currentSector - 11].getChildAt is MovieClip) {
//do stuff

but it doesn't seem to work. I changed my visibility settings to true, thinking the false visibility might be a problem, but no result.
why doesn't this work?

I've been using Processing for around two years now, and I really like it. However, I feel like Flash is a bit more useful for coding games, as it's more universal and flexible. I'm starting to feel like I have no idea what I'm doing, and I really don't get any of the concepts like movie clips and the stage and so forth. In Processing, to make, say, a ball, I might make this:
Ball[] ballArray = new Ball[ 0 ]; //Array to store each ball in
void setup()
{
size( 400, 400 );
[code].....
And that would let me create as many instances as I like, anywhere I like.I haven't the faintest clue how to make a comparable applet in Flash.I've tried making a 'ball' class in a separate .as file, but it gives me an error about too many arguments. I also don't know how to draw a shape directly to the screen.
I have researched this topic and I believe the answer is AS3 Scope Issue though I can not resolve the issue.My xml loads fine and I can traverse it fine. I need to compare it against an array in another file so I believe the best thing to do is put then node I want into a class variable/field.
