I have an XMLList 'Keywords', which consists of about 30 elements. I want to count the number of unique keywords in the List, and how often they occur. Then display the top 3 most occuring keywords.
View 1 RepliesBasically, since XMLList are similar to Arrays in many ways, I was wondering if I could do something like:
XMLList.length = 10;
I know this is not possible because 'length' in XMLList is not a property but is a method. Hence is something like a get method without a set method. Only XMLList.length() would work.
Given this XML code:[code]I can count the total number of game elements in the XML.game with:[code]Is there please some way to print the number of all game elements having the exact number of 3 user children? And also count all such elements with less than 3 user children?[code]The backgound is, that I have a Flex game, where up to 3 players can sit at a playing table and I'm trying to display the number of All, Vacant and Full playing tables there (the top left row with RadioButtons, sorry for the non-English language):I'm reading the XMLList doc, but don't see how to do it with one-liners, I only can see how to do it with loops...

View 1 RepliesI have an XMLList:
Code:
var contentList:XMLList = loadedXML.someNode.elements(nodeFromNavElement);
Where "nodeFromNavElement" is a var being passed from a movie clip the user clicks on. That all works fine. The user is now in a particular section of the Flash app, and the content being pulled from the XML corresponds to the section. If the user clicks another movie clip (or navigation element, the content needs to update.
I need to get another node within the current node, like this:
Code:
var contentList:XMLList = loadedXML.someNode.elements(nodeFromNavElement).elements(nextNodeFromNavElement);
But I'm trying to append to the XMLList... something like:
Code:
var contentList:XMLList = loadedXML.someNode.elements(nodeFromNavElement) + .elements(nextNodeFromNavElement);
Which obviously doesn't (and shouldn't) work.
Is there anyway to count the number of occurrences of an element in an array? E.g.
array = (a, a, c, h, a, h, g, j, j, j)
//Number of times each element appears in the array
a=3
c=1
h=2
g=1
j=3
My function is returning XML, so i do: return xml.blah.blah.blah
It tells me it can't convert XMLList to XML
so i'm guessing xml.blah.blah.blah is a XMLList.
How can i do this (convert XMLList to XML)? the simpliest way possible?

xmlList is alive and well in the xmlLoaded function. I need to access it in the loadMusic.fla.
difference between XML and XMLList in my example code? I am passing a node to the function and extracting the url of the file:

Why do I have to have 'current' as XML and not as XMLList? I thought XMLList's with length == 1 are handled as XML's anyway, aren't they?
I am trying to parse some XML i have retrieved via e4x in an HTTPService. The loop works and for each episode in the list it goes through the loop. However i get the following error when it is trying to append to an XMLList.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I am trying to query the local SQLite database and see if the episode exists (working) and if it does append to one xmllist and if not then append to the other xmllist.

How can you tell if an XMLlist object in AS3 contains a specific node?
View 2 RepliesMy Flash designer is reading an XML stream I'm sending back to the browser (I'm a C# dev). We have this working fine.
He is then selecting into an XMLList where a element has its id a certain value i.e. . This is also working just fine.
In this XmlList, are Events, that look a little something like this:
event
startdate
enddate
end event
I don't know how to use the formatting here - but each of those items is an element. startdate would have a value such as 04/02/2010 and enddate 6/30/2010.
Now, from this XmlList I do have of Events, I need to select all Events where a new variable myDate, falls in between the startdate and enddate.
I am working with an XML list at the moment, which looks like this:
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="3"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="4"/>
<feature type="startLocation" value="1" x="15" y="5"/>

I'm trying to loop through an XMLList and rather than giving me each item in the list as XML, it's just coming back with the positions as strings e.g.
[Code]...
It just alerts "0" or "1". If I inspect the 'item' variable, I see the same thing. But if I inspect 'myList' it looks like the XML. I've also tried myList.children() and strongly typing 'items' to 'XML' but nothing I do has worked.
What I want to do is loop through an xml file, and assign the contents of each node to a static variable with the same name. [code]...

View 1 RepliesThe aim is to get the flat xmllist out of a xml: each item of the xmllist would be a descendant (not just child) of the xml. This way I have all the nodes of an xml inside the xmllist.
For example:

<b >
<b1/>

View 5 RepliesI'm pulling some events out of a MySQL db, parsing to an XML file, and having flash pull that in. All works fine, but I'm encountering an XML tag, and I'm not 100% sure why. I searched but the keywords are so vague I didn't find anything of value.

So with one event, it works fine. With more than one, I get in the info.eventNameTxt textfield something like <name>Christmas Afterbash</name>. how to circumvent this? I haven't quite been able to wrap my head 100% around the E4X stuff.
I 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?

If I have an XMLList object in Flex, what is the proper way to check to see if the list is empty? Should I just compare the result of myList.length() > 0, myList.toString() != "" or try another method altogether?
