Actionscript 3 :: Xml - Get The Deepest Child Matching Certain Attributes Relative To The Parrents?
Dec 21, 2009
If I have the following XML in actionscript 3:
[CODE]...
This is just an example. Now, what I want to do is the following: get the deepest child element with x, y, width and height attributes which is within a certain location. So, if the given location is 50x100 then ((child.@x <= x) && (child.@x + child.@width >= x) && (child.@y <= y) && (child.@y + child.@height >= y)) must be valid
In this case it should return the second child element named child with attributes x=0 and y=0 - the code should also keep in mind that the childs of elements' positions are relative to the parents position. So, if the child's X is 0 and the parent's X is 100 then the absolute child position is 100.In the end, the method
I have two swfs, index.swf and history.swf. History.swf loads and xml file and some images using a relative path. This swf works fine on it's own.When I load history.swf from within index.swf to display it on stage, I get an error saying "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at History()"
I ran a test loading a basic test.swf (just text on stage) from within index.swf and it works fine.I am guessing that maybe once the history.swf is loaded into index.swf, the relative paths within history.swf are failing.
At the moment I can only parse a certain depth of XML elements, and I was wondering how you could get the deepest XML element, because at the moment I have a series of for each loops that loop through xmlElem.children() but this only allows me to parse to a certain depth, so it's rather limited.
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 am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 environment. I don't have any knowledge in depth with Flash and ActionScript 3.0. I am using the flash(.swf file) in my Java application. Now, this .swf file is to be placed in the server system. While I am working with these, I faced an error. Here, my issue/problem(s) starts....
1.)With the help of URLRequest & URLLoader classes, I am loading a jpg file dynamically onto the stage using the following code:
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
I'm developing a flash application, and one of the things it has to do is take some user input, compare it to a number of possible matches in an XML file, and return the closest match. At the moment, I'm putting the user input into an array, looping through it, then looping through the XML and keeping track of how many nodes match in a separate array.That all sounds very confusing so here's an example:
I have flex 4 and writing my own autocomplete component (based on the popupanchor) to search for different books. In the dropdown box, how can I highlight the text that matches? For instance, a user types in "ema" and the search returns "Pet Sematary"....I want to highlight the letters "ema" within "Pet Sematary"
I was given a task to make a match making game in actionscript 2, problem is, i have very little knowledge about the language (well, and how matching works in as2, what are the important codes, code emplacements, and all I am new in AS2, and i really need a lot of help with our project. :)
I plan to match images. But.. I was planning to have a sort of "Compatibility" match-up game, like,..let's say we have two batteries, one has a 50v capacity(how do u measure batteries?) then the other has a 100v capacity, then there's this battery slot that only accepts a 50v battery, then you will have to match this 50v battery to that battery slot, that's my concept for the game, sir. I hope you got what i said, sir. :D
i'm itterating thru an array of text field objects and tracing the selected focus field when pressing tab, as well as each object.i'm trying to equate these object, but while they trace the exact same they are not.
m_InputFieldsArray = new Array(m_TitleTextInput, m_CommentsTextArea, m_EmailTextInput); for (var i:Number = 0; i < m_InputFieldsArray.length; i++) { trace("Get Focus: " + Selection.getFocus());
[code]....
the first group traces the same, but apparently they do not match. Selection.getFocus() returns a string, while the array index is tracing the text field object. if i add toString() to the text field object it will trace as [Object object] how can i accomplish a match?
I'm trying to create a simulator for the HyperTerminal console. On my swf file, the user is supposed to start by typing in "configure terminal" into TextInput. So far I'm able to do so using this code:
HTML Code: this.stop(); stage.focus = input_4; import flash.ui.Keyboard;
I am trying to create a game where random figures are revealed. These random figures relate to a list of monetary amounts on the same page. As a number is revealed the corrisponding amount on the page is then deleted, hopefully with a bit of fade, movement, jazzed up a little.I cannot work out a code in order to do it. The code below is how I randomise the hidden amounts via a button.
I'm having a problem with using regexp to validate form fields, everything is working fine as long as I don't explicitly try to match a dot(.) character. This fails on both email and the voorletters regex. I've tested both these regexes in RegExr and they are doing what they're supposed to there.
Code: var regex_voorletters:RegExp = /^([A-Z.])+$/i; var regex_email:RegExp= /^([w-.]+)@((?:[w]+.)+)([a-zA-Z]{2,4})$/i
I'm sure there are a million posts on this, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the wording under which they are classified.I am trying to get my site to scale so that the width is 100% the width of the screen, and the height, if there's more than can be viewed, is cut off. No scrolling. If I simply use the 100% width property, it seems to also give height at 100% value, so this way the whole site fits on the screen, but there is empty space on the right and left which is not what I want. Does this make sense how I've worded it?
i don't understand arrays in functions, but how do you find the matching items given in an array? for example: var fruit:Array = ["apples", "oranges", "grapes", "oranges", "apples", "grapes"]; how can i get it to show only the number of apples in the array?
1) on this dude's site, Beyond the Pixel , he/she's got the style sheet repeating a trend gif. I created one myself and have got it working on my htm file. Problem is, I want to be able to get the htm repeated image to seamlessly blend into my swf file. How did BTP do it?
I assume I need to estimate the pixel distance (the repeated gif I'm using is 5x5 pixels) then absolute place the swf file using proper css placement code. Then I'd just start that same gif in flash on the movie's edge and repeat it across the movie (x and y). I think I'm right on the former, but feel that I'm being to simplistic in the latter. Ayuda, �gracias!
2) I followed this tutorial on preloaders. Got it to work, even managed to get it to load vertically and change the size of the loadBar. Problem, and it may not be on true publishing, but when I test the movie, the preloader does its deal but right before it goes to frame 3 to display a ND picture, a little green box pops up in the upper left of the frame. It does this every time. I'm using Flash MX '04 on a G5.
Experimenting with Flash as usual.Preloader's are always something that have caused me trouble.Here's what I typically use for a timeline based preloader in AS3:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading); function loading(e:Event):void { var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;[code].......
I'm really interested in a preloader that loads right across the stage however - regardless of if the stage is resized.I should imagine it'll involve implementing = Math.round(stage.stageWidth); at some point?
when extending a class, is it impossible to override a method without also matching the parameters?for example, i'd like to use the method's name, in this case it's a socket extension and the method i want to override is connect. however, i want to request additional parameters that the stock connect function does not request.
is the only alternative to create my own connect-like method with my own parameters, call super.connect from this function and override the stock connect function to throw an error if it's called?
I want to find a script that compares colors in a given region and gets the closest websafe color.I found the color sampler class that returns the average color. So now I just need to learn how to get the closest websafe color to the average color. how to compare color values and get the difference?
how to compare two arrays for matching numbers? One array is called randomNumberArray and hold 7 numbers in it, and the other myArray_array which hold 6 numbers in it.
Once they have compared how do I then display messages depending on how many numbers have matched. so lets say less then 3 numbers are matches I'd want it to display on the interface 'Sorry you have not matched at least 3 numbers'.
I have this code that's meant to compare two arrays for matching numbers. Depending on how many matches there are, a certain message will be displayed in a dynamic text field. But for some reason it's not working, can anyone figure out why?
ActionScript Code: var _num:Number = 0; function compare_Arrays() { for(var i = 0; i < numbersChosen.length; i++) { for (var k = 0; k < randomArray.length; k++) { if (numbersChosen[i] == randomArray[k]) { [Code] .....
i was wondering if anyone has a simple drag and drop quiz. I did use wondershare to make it, but found i cant use it in my site as its 3.0 and not 2.0
Also used articulate quiz maker, but that includes annoying headings and an interface which can't be removed.
All i want is simply one side with 6 boxes and another with 6 boxes and matching the boxes, and then a submit button which tells the user if they have passed or failed etc.
