Actionscript :: Xml - Turn An XML String Into An Object
Feb 8, 2011
I am pretty new to AS, and I am assuming there is a way to do this and I am just not figuring it out. Basically, I am trying to use a service that returns xml and return an Object regardless of the structure of the xml. In .Net I use the XmlSerializer.Deserialize class... is there equivalent in AS?
I was able to find SimpleXMLDecoder but I can't seem to get it to work - it also looks like it might only work with nodes? Either way, the examples out there are sparse and hard to follow, I just want to know how to take xml like this:
[Code]....
And simply turn it into an Object - is this possible without writing my own parser?

I'm wondering, and hoping, if I can access and use a specific instance of an object if I only have the name of the object instance in a string? The code below perhaps explains it a littler better.

I'm using an online service (heyzap.com if anyone wanted to know) for storing small amounts of data from my Flash app. The data is sent to the server as an object, which can contain any kind of structure including arrays, numbers, strings etc. However, when the object is returned back to the app, for some reason, it has been turned into a string representation of the object. I don't think it should be like that - but it is. So if I create a textbox on screen and write the code:
myTextbox.text = receivedObject;
it shows this:
{"myArray":[{"myInteger":0,"myString":"string0","myData":[1,2,3]},

Is it possible to turn an array into a string? I'm stuck on project.
For example:
contents is an array containing: ("~a","~b","~c")
var my_str:String = var contents:Array;
contents = my_str.split("~");
trace(contents);
I'm trying to delete the ~ that's been inserted, (in another part of my code earlier)
The result should be: (a,b,c)

I am making a simple debugger window in ActionScript for myself where I can add and remove variables I want to track. I was to be able to add variables to the list by just doing something like
DebuggerMonitor.trackVar(variable).
My question is, is there any way I can turn "variable" itself (the name, not the value) into a String to be added into a text field?

So I know that my server on real form submit turns %CE%EB%E5%E3+%DF%EA%F3%F8%EA%E8%ED into Олег Якушкин . How to peform string transfer from Олег Якушкин into %CE%EB%E5%E3+%DF%EA%F3%F8%EA%E8%ED using ActionScript? (Its ok if a space character as %20, not + , PHP should handle that fine.)

I am trying to condense my code so i can use only one IF statement to change audio clips for multiple button rollovers. When rolloving over button 1 for example, i made a string variable (mySoundString) appear that is mySound1(this is the name of the audio file i want to play). However, i cant do the command mySoundString.play(); because it is a string. How do i turn the string into a new sound.
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
var mySound1:aud1=new aud1;
var mySound2:aud2=new aud2
for(var i =1;i<3;i++){

I was working on a frame by frame scene when all of a sudden (I don't exactly remember what I did) borders show up around each brush stroke I draw like the figure shown here:
I tried turning off highlights (Ctrl + H), but the borders keep re appearing. Basically, I just want to revert back to the original selection mode as well as get rid of the borders after I draw my brushes like this figure shown below:
How do I turn off highlights / object borders permanently as well as enable regular brush selection?

I am creating a decision tree in flash (where someone answers questions which eventually gets them to a preferable conclusion). I have been using code snippets to link the different frames. I have created an animation that I would like to play when the user gets to the conclusion (I will use the 'click to go to frame and play' code snippet) but how can I turn the animation file into a single frame or object but still function as a animation. I tried saving as a SWF and drag into my project so it could appear as a object but it only plays in another window.

I'm creating a CMS(Content Management System) tool so that users can change text and the changes be reflected in a text window in flash . The text that the user enters in the CMS tool will be stored in the database.
In flash I want to parse the string that I get from the database and look for URL strings that start with http "http://www.someurl.com" and parse out that substring.
For example the string could be "Please vist my site at http://www.site.com". I would want to parse out the http://www.site.com
If I find this url string I want to pre-pend the a href tag <a> and append the closing </a> tag to the string so that this link will be clickable from the textfield.
Does flash have an object that deals with Regular Expressions? I've looked at the String object in flash but not sure how to achieve this task

I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

We have an Adobe Flex client talking to a .NET server using WebORB. Simplifying things, on the .NET side of things we have a struct that wraps a ulong like this:
public struct MyStruct
{
private ulong _val;
[Code]....
I've tried playing with custom WebORB serializers, but the documentation is a bit scarce. Is this possible? If so how?
I think I can work out how to serialize it, but not the other way. Do I need to write a Custom Serializer on the the Flex end as well?

I need to know how to call or reference (not sure of the terminology) an object by way of a string. What I'm trying to do is create a loop that will add event listeners to objects named "portfolio1" through "portfolio15", and use a function.[code]If I could just reference these fricken objects through a string and an integer, I could set up a small loop like this to make the button "portfolio1" bring up a big jpeg of "bigportfolio_1", and "portfolio2" bring up a big jpeg of "bigportfolio_2", ext. While yes, I could just go through them all and set up event listeners to each one individually, but its REALLY inefficient. Also, I am still working on more advanced actions (like scrolling through the portfolio pics chronologically) that absolutely requires a different reference method.

my library is filled with a movie clip for each letter in the alphabet (26 movie clips). I also have a blank symbol on the stage. When the movie starts, it generates a random 8 letter string from an array of letters. The next part is supposed to take the first letter of the newly generated string, pull the corresponding movie clip from the library, and display it in the blank symbol on the stage. After that, it moves to the 2nd letter, and so on. Ultimately I'm trying to have 8 random letters from the alphabet array set the corresponding movie clips on the stage.
