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) {
[Code]....
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'm having an issue grabbing xml node attributes through a multidimensional loop.Here is the Actionscript:
Code:
-------------------------------------------------*/
var FourPlayerXML:String = "videoPlayer.xml";
[code].....
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 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.

I have 2 attributes of screen node which are title and tasks. how can I access these 2 attributes at the same time in AS3 Is that correct: excel.chapter.screen.(@title == "lesson").@tasks
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)?
How many xml node attributes can be passed to a Combobox item? scenario:
[Code]...
I need the first one to label the item, the second to access the video and the third to access the caption xml.
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!
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.
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.
[Code]...
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 a tree im my mxml that uses a XMLListCollection as dataProvider. Itīs XML is like:
<list>
<conta nome="Plano de Contas" id="1">
<conta nome="Creditos" id="2" />
<conta nome="Vendas" id="4" />
[code]....
How can I make the node for, say, id==4 visible AND selected?
i have a question whether we can create a new xml node in as3 node containing dynamic value inside.....
as like if i want to get like..var newNode:XML = <IMAGE FULL="fullimages/3.jpg"THUMB="thumbnails/3.jpg"/>
where the images are dynamic values...
I thought this was going to be easy! I would like to search an XML file for a particular data set i.e. set of nodes depending on a passed variable. However, storing a subset of my XML file via Code:var gallery = this.firstChild; and then searching 'gallery' as you would an array-using a for()-doesn't work since this.firstChild isn't returning an array
Code:
<gallery>

var buttonID = new Button;
var imageID = new Image;
var labelID = new Label;

After loading the following XML file, is there a way to count the number of attributes of the "question" node, and if possible, the number of items having the word "answer" in them? (in this case 4 should be returned, ie. answer1, answer2, answer3, answer4)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<quiz>
<question text="The man went ___ the morning." answer1="at" answer2="on" answer3="in" answer4="out" correct="in" />

here's a painfully easy one I bet -- I'm aware of how to use EX4 to filter most pieces of the xml I need however how can I filter an XML list such as the one below to check say --- if a dog is a beagle? preferably as a Boolean.
[Code]...
I have XML below
<node id="id1"/><node id="id2"/>...
<edge id="eid1" fromId="id1" toId="id2"/>
<edge id="eid2" fromId="id3" toId="id1"/>
<edge id="eid3" fromId="id2" toId="id4"/>
Now I need get all edge base on nodeId,
nodeId = id1 -> eid1, eid2
nodeId = id2 -> eid1, eid3
nodeId = id3 -> eid2
nodeId = id5 -> Null
I want to get all xml elements (xml descendents) which have some attributes like:
<books>
<book concept="rr" author="xx"/>
<book concept="tt" />
<book concept="yy" />
<book concept="uu" author="xx"/>
</books>
I need to perform a xml descendent search for xml nodes with author attribute containing
results should be:
<book concept="rr" author="xx"/>
<book concept="uu" author="xx"/>
Problem is, whenever I try to change attributes like align or scaleMode I get the following error message:
"Access of possibly undefined property scaleMode through a reference with static type Class".
In what part of the code am I allowed to change Stage attributes?
I wonder if you can use the override in atributtes. If yes, how could I do this?
View 3 RepliesIs there anyway to get the number of attributes an xml node has.
I'm just not fond of the way you have to loop through an xml node ala [URL]
for (attr in this.childNodes[i].attributes) {
...
}
Is there nothing like childNodes[i].attributes.length?
In my project I have some xml I've embedded and am now parsing.
Here's an example of xml I have.
HTML Code:
<use>
<player>
<add var="health">2</add>
[Code].....
I guess I could just change the names of them in my XML but their must be a workaround. I could potentially not have control over the file and then I'd be screwed.
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.
When I try to load in my xml attributes it loads in all the attribures for that node not just the Title Or Description. How do I get it to just load the Title.
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
loader.load(new URLRequest("2152.xml"));
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
XML.ignoreWhitespace=true;
var xml=new XML(e.target.data);
[Code] .....
Is there a way to find an XML element by values of two attributes (XPath or whatever?)?
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.
Example:
myFeature = _contextXML.namespace::row.((@modelName==var1) AND (@featureTitle==var2))..@featureDescription;
