I need to be able to dynamically get the name of an attribute in AS3. So for example:
Code: Select all<setup<animation speed=".5" />
<animation transition="saturation" />
<animation easetype="linear" />
<animation clickthrough="true" />
[Code]...
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.
View 3 RepliesI have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.

View 8 RepliesI am trying to get the value of an attribute full where another attribute name is equal to something e.target.name.
So in this case I am trying to get the value of "full"
var full_url = myXML.item.@full.(@name=="e.target.name");
This is my XML:
<item name="Toy Box" thumb="resize/thumb_image2.png" full="full_images/image2.png" />
<item name="Toy Train" thumb="resize/thumb_image3.png" full="full_images/image3.png" / >
<item name="Toy Truck" thumb="resize/thumb_image4.png" full="full_images/image4.png" />
So my as above should return one of the But when I trace full_url I get nothing and no errors.

I have some xml that is full of attributes. Without much detail, i would like to translate the xml into objects. However , i need a method that can get the attribute values AND names.

View 1 RepliesI'm updating an old AS2 project and have a question about XML. This thing I'm working on uses two xml files, pics.xml and lang.xml. The last one of the two contains translations for the flash file and looks like this:
PHP Code:
<lang> <trans lang="sv"> <nextPic>N�sta bild</nextPic> <prevPic>F�reg�ende bild</prevPic> <showMap>Visa karta</showMap> </trans> <trans lang="en"> <nextPic>Next picture</nextPic> <prevPic>Previous picture</prevPic> <showMap>Show Map</showMap> </trans></lang>
and in the pics.xml you choose what language to display by setting an xml attribute to either "sv" or "en".My question is, how do I tell the function that parses lang.xml to only parse the node with the right language. If "sv" is set in pics.xml I only want to parse the first bit om lang.xml there, you se what I mean? I don't what to use something like: this.firstChild.childNodes[0].blahblah cos most likely the users of this will ad more languages...
I wanted to ask that what is the method to trace the attribute in the xml file. I am trying a code but its saying undifined. The xml file looks like

I wish to extract an attribute from an XMLList and assign it to a string. Here is the snippet of the XML
<node>
<sport GAME="Squash" TIME1="2" TIME2="3" TIME3="8"/>
<sport GAME="Table Tennis" TIME1="4" TIME2="6" TIME3="7"/>
</node>
I have two variables. One variable will contain the game type, either Squash or Table Tennis. The other will contain one of the following strings "TIME1", "TIME2" or "TIME3". The variables are called game and time. I have tried many variations on the code below to get the needed attribute but with no joy.
var result:String = node.sport.(@GAME == game).(attribute(time));
I'm having trouble getting a specific attribute my xml. Is there an easy way to say if the attribute value = 1234 then return its nodevalue

I have a few different XML documents that get loaded into my app. What I would like to know how to do is search the incoming XML string for a certain attribute (apple or peach) then route its use to the correct location.example:
<boringExample1 apple ="somevalue" ... />
<boringExample2 peach="somevalue" ... />
I am not trying to read the value of the attribute but the name of attribute itself. if my XML string has apple attribute go here else if my XML string has peach attribute go there. I hope that makes sense
I'm currently working on a XML gallery for a client and have nearly finished it but for one thing - I need a way of adding a position or 'ordering' for my thumbnails within the XML gallery. I'll try and break it down into laymons terms: I have a xml which looks like this:

My brain has melted at this point, so I'll ask you all - how do I filter for the following attribute:
story.attributes.year == "2005"
in the code below, so that only the nodes marked "2005" are displayed? Files are attached.
Code:
//Create textfield
this.createTextField("content_txt", 10, 0, 0, 390, 0);
//Create and load styles

I have an XML file loaded at run time.Among others, it contains several nodes which contain a name attribute and a value attribute.I want to be able to select name by value and vice versa.If I try and trace out a name by selecting its value, I get exactly what I expected:
[AS]
trace( "NAME: " + SiteModel.instance.constants.(@value==section).@na me );
[/AS]
But, and this is what I've been screaming at for most of the morning,if I try and assign that name to a variable, and trace the variable, I get epic fail:
[AS]
var n:String = SiteModel.instance.constants.(@value==section).@na me;
trace( "NAME: " + n );
[/AS]
Trying to trace that variable results in a TypeError:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.This is stupifyingly ridiculous in my opinion,
