ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Variables To A XML Object's Attributes?

Sep 22, 2009

I've created and XML object that's working fine and I want the user to be able to add to the XML dynamically, using an input text field and appendChild() So, what is the syntax to use so that I can put in the text they enter as an attribute of a node of my current XML object? Here's what I've got for adding to the XML (stripped down obviously):

ActionScript Code:
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var clientToAdd:String = userInput.text;
xmlData.appendChild(<project name=clientToAdd></project>);

How can I take the variable clientToAdd and make it the attribute "name" of the "project" node?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Attributes To Movieclip Instances?

Aug 25, 2010

Let's say I have 5 instances of a movie clip on the stage, which are going to be manipulated by Actionscript. Is there a way I can add attributes/parameters/variables to each one, inside flash? Like "hitpoints" and "attack," for example. If I could set all those values inside the Flash IDE, for later access in the game code, it would make my workflow a lot cleaner. (I'm making game levels)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Attributes From XML / Sub-attributes

Jun 29, 2009

I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]

This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c

Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.

Xml :: Flash - NodeName With Attributes Comes Up Blank?

Jan 11, 2010

I've tried many different ways of accessing the name of an attribute, but just can't get it working.The current Function:

protected function applyProperties(_axml:XML):void
{
var list:XMLList = _axml.properties;[code]...........

I have tried the name, I've tried searching it as an Object, I looked for solutions on stackoverflow.. nothing has worked for me so far. Originally I had the properties node as such: fearing that Flash was interpretting incorrectly.

edit: It seems like the XML was interpretted rather than printed out..

Flash :: Display Multiple Attributes In Mx:Tree?

Jun 30, 2011

Is it possible to display multiple attributes in a mx:Tree component? The XML looks like this:

<item comment="blabla" author="user1" date="21.05.2011">
<item comment="blabla" author="user2" date="21.05.2011"/>
<item comment="blabla" author="user3" date="21.05.2011"/>
</item>

I want each node to display the comment, author and date, on separate lines.

I am planning to use this to display something like the facebook wall: someone writes a message and the other users can comment.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash XML Filtering Descendant Attributes

Oct 22, 2010

This is my first post on this forum, so sorry If Im posting in the wrong spot or asking stupid questions. I've been programing for several years, but I'm kinda new to using XML in flash. I'm making an xml menu system and I would like to know if it is possible to filter without a defining the parent node. For example I would like to do this... var whatIwantToFind = myXML..(@name == 'munkinugget'); Unfortunately this throws a syntax error. It tells me that its expecting a double colon before the semicolon.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Carriage Returns In XML Attributes?

Feb 19, 2009

My XML looks like this...

<feature title="This is my /n features title"/>

I don't have access to change the schema.

In Flash I load the text content of the title attribute into a text field, problem is -- the prints instead of operating as a carriage return (new line).

Again, no access to the XML so changing the TextField to htmlText and adding a <br/> tag wont work.

I would prefer not to loop through the result of one of the attributes search, because XML is huge and its processing is already slow.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Default Xml Namespace And Attributes?

Jul 31, 2009

I was trying to use default xml namespaces, but came upon something strange.

I got the following piece of xml:

<animal type="sheep" xmlns="http://blabla">
<name>josh</name>
<age>2</age>
</animal>

[Code].....

now for some reason, the elements are correctly traversed using the default namespace. But the attribute isn't found. After a bit of debugging, I found that I could only retrieve the attribute when using xml.animal.attribute(new QName("", "type")). Why isn't the attribute in the same default namespace as the element?

ActionScript3 :: Filtering Xml-attributes That Contain Dashes?

Dec 22, 2009

There are dashes in attributes of an xml, and I don't know how to filter them: Here you can see a simple example of the xml:

<posts>
<post>
<photo-url max-width="1280">http://blabla.tumblr.com/photo/98</photo-url>
</post>
</posts>

Because also the photo-url-tag has a dash, I needed to parse it with ...child("photo-url"). This worked fine, but if I want to filter these tags(photo-url), in order to receive all photo-url's with the same attribute: "max-widht='1280'", I couldn't manage to do so. I tried this approach:

var photoUrl:XMLList = xml.posts.post.child("photo-url").(@max-width==1280);

I get this error:

ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @max is not defined.
