Actionscript 3 :: Detecting The NAMES (not Values!) Of The Attributes Of A XML Node In Flex
Jan 5, 2010
var node:XML;
In flex/actionscript 3, I can call node.attribute("somename") and get the value of the "somename" atribute of the node. I can also call node.attributes() and get the VALUES of ALL the attributes. But how the heck do I know what attributes to look for?! The application I am creating does not know the format of the XML file in advance. I need a way to know the NAMES of the attributes of the nodes, before I can access them by name!

Does anyone know of a trick to ignore upper/lower/camelcase on XML node names and attributes?A quick example: I give an XML file to my client which contains an XML attribute named fooID but the client could change the XML, and - not being aware of upper/lowercaseness change or add an attribute under 'fooid'. Naturally my parser (in AS3) would ignore the all lowercase attribute. Note that the value contained in fooID isn't the problem here but the attribute name itself.

I am loading an xml file and some of the node attributes do not have values:
<books>
<book id="qq" description="test1"></book>
<book id="nn" description""></book>
</books>
I get a null object reference when I try to run the second book line because of the missing description. Can I check for this in code and skip accessing the description for this line?
Something like if (xml_book.@description is null) {do nothing}else{do something)?

Let's say I have a class which looks like this :
public class MyClass
{
public var attribute1;
public var attribute2;
}
and I'd like to get attribute1 and attribute2 as strings. I tried this :
var test:MyClass = new MyClass();
for (var key:String in test)
{
trace(test[key]);
}
but it does not work, it never goes in the loop. How can I do what I want to do ?

How do I get all the attributes that exist on a XML node? For example, I have the following XML:
<item id="100">
<defaults width="10" height="100" post="true">
</item>
I would like to get the names and values on the defaults node.
Here is some starter code:
if (item.defaults) {
var attributes:Object = item.defaults.@*; // found in another post
for each (var value:String in attributes) {

Is there a way to list the attributes of an XML node?
For example, let's say the XML you're reading is just one tag[code]...
But I don't know what all of the possible attributes are, so it's obviously hard for me to test for them all.
I could find out what all of the possibilities are, but that would require MUCH more work than finding out how to list the attributes, because a for loop sounds much nicer than dozens of if statements.

I have xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<articles>
<entry datumNum="20090420" date="20/4/2009" id="1">
<title>Some title</title>
[Code]....
I would like to sort xml nodes using attribute datumNum, but I can't get it to work. Don't know how to pass attribute to sortOn function before the for loop.
Note that there is maybe a error in xml parsing code here, because I tried to be as short as I can.

im trying to write a handfull of XML functions in AS2.0 and im trying to find a way of getting flash to detect the number of attributes in a childNode. <item name="aaron" location="sydney" sex="male"/> as in finding out how many of these ^ there are in each item.
how I would do this? I've tried for...in... statements and even trying to access them as objects i.e. ...ode[0].attributes["name"] but it never works - I always have to hard code...ode[0].attributes.name to get the value. im sure theres a way to do this, there has to be a way.

I have an XML-file.I want to base an menu on my website om this information.Let us say that I have info in the XML-file with the names "About Me", "Articles" and "Video".Then I want three buttons with the text above on them. This is successfully done.The problem is, that I don't know what button I am pressing. To go to the nest page I need to know what button I am pressing.
I've tryed the following:
Code: Select allprivate function buildMenu():void
{
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++)
{
[code]....
The result is that all the buttons get the name of the last entry in the XML-file. In the case above all the buttons would get the name "Video".

I have an AdvancedDataGrid tree with a ArrayCollection as its dataprovider. Now, for instance, i drag a leaf from one node to another node. To catch the event I'm adding a Listener to dragComplete.

My Problem: I want to know the new node where the leaf was dropped. Actually i would have expected that in the event there is a property like dropParent. This is not the case.

I have populated a comboBox dynamilcally from an xml file. When a user selects an item from the comboBox, I want to search the XML nodes and retrieve an attribute of that node.At the moment I had this working correctly by storing the value in a _global variable and using the info in a function.
Code:
// Create Listener Object.
var cbListener:Object = new Object();
Assign function to Listener Object.[code].....
This technique won't suffice as we are changing languages around.How would I use eventObj to target the desired node value?

Kirupa's tutprial "Using XML in Flash CS3/AS3" when filtering the node values, how can I match a text string say "Stephen" with "Stephen E. Ambrose"
var authorList:XMLList = bookInput.Book.(author == "Stephen E. Ambrose");
Using the above code it only searches the node which author value is "Stephen E. Ambrose" but I want to search only "Stephen" and want to get this node returned.

I was wondering if it is possible to capture whenever properties are set/accessed/created on dynamic objects?Basically, among others, I want to create a little quick system which acts as an Array and allows you to set the same value of all items inside of it.For example:
Code:
var dynamicObjArray:DynamicObjectArray = new DynamicObjectArray();
dynamicObjArray.push(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6);

have this code that's supposed to return the an array that holds the values that were contained within an XML node.

for some reason, the code won't return anything. the output just says "undefined". Would a good workaround consist of putting the return function within a setInterval method?

It's been a about seven years since I have done any work with Flash but now my employer is asking me to create a custom online magazine tool (we're publishers). I've been immersed in PHP and AJAX and building Mac apps with XCode so I've got a bit of a relearning curve to go through.
Anyway, I'm pulling in some XML into a Flash file and want to display some of the various node values in a dynamic text box. That was easy enough, AS3 makes it a charm compared to the dark old days. The problem I am running into is displaying the values - its kind of a runsheet for a magazine - num of pages, ads, features, etc. etc. and I want to display that in one text box in a list type format. So I have something like this:

I'm having some problems with controlling my movie clips.
I've got a .fla (flash8) file with a combo box and a submit button. I want the drop box to hold the values of some frame names. On the submit the resutls frame just does a transition between the screens. On frame one there is this code:
Code:
function comboDisplay (component) {
combo = component.getSelectedItem().data;
_root.gotoAndStop("results");
[Code]....
Is there something i need to do to read this as as a string or am I messing up the useage of _root? It wont go to the proper frame after the animation plays. heres a link to a watered down version with only the barebones of the file. [URL]
