Actionscript 2.0 :: Get The Number Of Items With A Certain Attribute In A Xml File?
Sep 16, 2009
I'm trying to get the number of items with a certain attribute in a xml file....for example, i want to find out how many "thumbs" there are with an attribute of "websites"
var items = web_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
var numOfItems = items.length;
The above gets me the TOTAL number of items in the WHOLE list (numOfItems) so i'm guessing i need something like:
var webItems = items.attributes.type == "websites";
var numOfWebItems = webItems.length;
but that doesn't work...
Here's the xml file:
<menu>
<thumbnails>
<thumb type="websites">
[code]...

<fortoyning hjorne="1" />

But I only need the number 3 as the value of "ant_h1". How do I do that or is it an another way to achieve this?

I have an Array where in position 0, there are two items "name1" and "name2", then in position 1, there is only 1 item "name3", and position 2 there is only 1 item "name4".
Now when I trace like this:
trace(exampleArray[0].length)
The result is 2;
But when I trace like this:
trace(exampleArray[1].length)
The result is 5;
I understand that on the second trace its counting the length of the item so its the number of letters that its returning. I'm just wondering how can I get it to return 1, which is the number of items in that position which is what I'm interested in.

Indeed the best for fast building of Web based Apps...
I'm trying to do something with eventListeners, but i still do a lot of messy code, so wanted help of those who already know flex.
I'm have a DataGrid, and its itens are added by another component, no problems with that.
I have buttons to Add, Remove and Edit the items inside the DataGrid. No problem with that too.
But i want those button to be enabled when the DataGrid as at least one item, and when it doesn't as any, all three buttons should be disabled.
EDIT: Forgot to say: I think eventListeners are the best way.

HOWEVER: I would like that if - for example i am on item 10 and click to item 4 - all the thumbnails between 4-10 are removed. it it possible to dispatch this click event X number of times dependant on the - count value?? FOR REFERENCE: THIS IS THE CODE THAT REMOVES ALL ITEMS BEYOND THE ONE I HAVE SELECTED:

I am having trouble parsing some xml that has a few attribute names with : characters in them. The compiler is not throwing any errors and when I trace my complete xml object out it is all there, however when I try to trace out any element or node it keeps comming up undefined. I removed the attribute names with : characters in them and everything works fine. I cant seem to target the attributes either to delete them.

I'm working on a stand-alone application and NOT a web-based application, so I'm trying to do this strictly with AS3, if possible. For example, if I have an XML file that looks like this:
Code:
<profile>
<username>Joe</username>
<password>Smith</password>
</profile>
How do I change the value of the USERNAME attribute via AS3?
I've tried something like this already:
var xmlData:XML();
...
xmlData = XML(event.target.data);
xmlData.profile.username = "Mary";
but when I open the XML file, it's not writing "Mary" in place of "Joe."

I am using Flash Builder 4 and have mistakenly set an abstract class to be the default application class.. It's not too much of an issue as I have set the correct one again, which works fine most of the time, but not when I am editing the incorrect one and hit F11 - it attempts to run the project via this incorrect class. Is there any way to remove the "runnable" attribute from this file so that this doesn't happen?An example of how this looks in the package explorer is below (Application.as is the correct file, AbstractQuickDraggable.as is not):

I can not alter the content of the XML file, as a third-party program creates it. I need to select only certain XML items. I specifically need to exclude the SAMPLEINFO and TIMEINFO items. The problem is the existance of these items creates empty cells in the datagrid (see picture below). I need the rows with the red x's removed.
XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<SampleData>
<SampleInfo Class="Sprint Cars" TopQual="Someone" RaceName="Sprinters of America" RaceNum="24" RoundNum="2" />

I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. I have a simple navigation menu that I am trying to edit. I may be in the wrong place in the file, but when I open the .SWF files I can see the lines of code and I can see the actual navigation menu as it appears on our web site. I have not been able to figure out how to change / edit / delete the line inthe drop down menu that I want to delete on our web site.

I have a large swf that is embedded in Director as a sprite I now want to put it onto a web page, so file size is critical Is there a way to remove unused library items when publishing so that file size is reduced? Is there another way to compress the swf so it is much smaller?The current size is about 25 Mb.What about streaming the swf?I'm not talking about streaming video or audio, just any Flash content.In Director, there is a way to right-click on a cast member and choose "find in score".If something isn't found it means that it either is not used in the movie or is implemented through code

This is a hard question to phrase and having trouble finding the right search terms. In the last couple of weeks I have been learning AS 3.0 and the fantastic Classes that are cool as heck (not a programmer... well sort of). Everything has been working great and I've grasped the concepts well, but because of my lack of experience I am not sure of the "best" way to do some things. For example where (which "as file" to create an array of characters?)
This is a very simple game:
25 "characters" (character class in Character.as)
All characters have the exact same properties with different values:
charName:int
life:int
strength:int
movement:int
type:String
char_mc:MovieClip (or sprite.. probably mc)
There are 2 types of characters; shipCrew and aliens. The differences between the two is that shipCrew can use various weapons and have unique "names". Aliens don't have names, just a type and they can grow and/or multiply. All of the interaction and basic game play I can handle no problem once I figure out "where" to create my characters and classes and or subclasses. My initial "training experiments" worked well... until I started reading up on "best practices" in coding and realized I had it kind of all mixed up and backwards. My concern is "doing it wrong at the start".
My first stab at this was to create the array of ALL characters in the "main.as" class for the document, then looping the array, creating new character instances on the stage. Since each character has different properties I just created the same array properties for each with a different value. So basically I am "hard coding" all the characters up front "by hand" so to speak with all the properties in the array. Since they were all identical basically, looping the array to "do stuff" was straight forward... for now. The array looks horrible in the code and is hard to "read" but since it's all "static" anyway it doesn't seem to matter... but would still like to "do it right".
Game play is simple because at a basic level each character regardless of what type it is will do the same thing. I would expand on the differences later. However as part of this inquiry I will need class instances on the stage to communicate with each other (like the idea of a registry for this). So my questions are:
Should I create individual as class files for all 25 characters? (icky?)
Or use an array to store the character class objects? A dictionary? A vector?
They all worked, I tried them all. I like arrays better because easier to deal with, but dictionaries look like fun and might be more efficient (only 25 items, how bad could it be?) storing in an object works too. Whatever type of "array thingy" I choose, Which class file do I create the array in? In the "main" document class or the character class itself? In another type of file like an "init" file? Could I create a "custom" file "type" or class... thingy like "CharacterCreator.as"? How about using a registry?

I would like to use the selectionMode=multiple described in the Flex docs, but with a few modifications:
1) I would like the box that the user drags over the graph to remain there until the user drags a new one.
2) In the top right corner of the box I want to display the sum of the items selected by that box.
