For example - var array:Array = ['one','two']; trace(array.indexOf('two')); // returns 1, since it's at the second position trace(array.indexOf('three')); // returns -1, since it isn't found
[Code]...
there's got to be an easier way to check to see if one of the nodes in the XMLList has a particular value than looping through all of them, right? something akin to -
xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('two'); // returns 1, because it's the second child xmlList.indexOfChildByNodeValue('three'); // returns -1, because it doesn't match any children
I have a series of XML nodes that are the same (except for the data of course). I want to find the node with that attribute and use that node's data. I know I can do this with a for loop and an if statement but I was hoping that there was a better way.[code]...
I am working on a website right now, which involves using framescripts to invoke instance methods from the document class. These methods are supposed to trigger the new content of each page, e.g. a galleryCreate() method that creates an instance of a custom Gallery class. The other job that this method must perform is run a check to see if there are any other children that need to be removed prior to trying to bring up the new content (for example, to prevent multiple Gallery instances from being created, or a Gallery instance being created when a Newsfeed instance is still on the display list).
This was the solution I tried: script on frame labeled "gallery":
ActionScript Code: galleryCreate(); Script in document Class after the main constructor. Spaceball is an empty MovieClip declared at the beginning of the class as an easy point of reference to the root.
ActionScript Code: public function galleryCreate () { if ((spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")) != null) { trace("An instance of the Gallery object was found and deleted"); removeChild(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")); } gallery = new Gallery(); addChild(gallery); }
When I ran the program, I clicked on the button to the gallery page, and the gallery came up alright. However, when I clicked on it a second time, I could see from the alpha of some of the elements that additional classes were being placed on top of the original ones. The trace in the if statement was never registered. So to troubleshoot this problem, I inserted the first two traces into the beginning of the galleryCreate() method, and the last trace at the end.
ActionScript Code: trace(spaceball.parent) //returns [Object Body], Body being the document class trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")); //returns null //after Gallery has been instantiated in the new gallery object trace(gallery.parent); //this returned [Object Body]
Running the program again, the trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery") would consistently return null, followed right after by a trace that recognizes the parent of the newly instantiated Gallery object to be the Document class. Doesn't that mean that it should be recognized as a child during the second iteration of galleryCreate()?
How do you get the value of a child node in an array titled "entries"? I used to do this in AS2, and now I'm trying in AS3. To top it off, I'm forced to use an XML format I'm unfamiliar with. So I'm not sure how to access these nodes in AS3. An example of the XML is;
I am trying to create a text node within a child node: user_xml.firstChild.appendChild( user_xml.createTextNode("<![CDATA[------]]>") ); But when I trace this I get: user_xml = <UserDetails><![CDATA[------]]></UserDetails> Which is not what I need. What I need returning is: user_xml = <UserDetails><![CDATA[------]]></UserDetails>
new to as4, trying to figure out how to filter xml by its child node's attribute. Something like the following. [code[The goal is to get a list of LEVEL1 and LEVEL2 that contain SAMPLE with class ="C1". Something like the following as a resulting XMLList.[code]
I'm trying to attach a new movie for each child node.I'm trying to add a thumbnail, description and a link to a .flv that I can load to a movie player.
Here is the code:
Code: var video_xml = new XML(); video_xml.load("video.xml"); video_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]....
When I preview the movie an empty container appears with none of the xml data.
This following data is my xmldata. I have to find out child length is equal to 3. <studentlist xmlns:xsi="[URL]"> <namelist><Name>Rithick rajan</Name> <Age>21</Age><Sex>Male</Sex> <Address>5/15, Vinayagar Kovil Street, Chennai.</Address> [Code] ..... I used child(0).length it was not working...
I am creating something that randomly generates 'stars' on the stage, and these stars then randomly explode. When the explosion_mc is created, an eventlistener to click them is made, so when an explosion is clicked on, it will remove the child(explosion) from the stage.
It sort of works but will only remove the latest explosion made whatever explosion you click on. I need to somehow let flash know what child is being clicked on.
Quote:
var star_array:Array = new Array(); var explosion_mc:explosion; var explosion_array:Array = new Array();
I've created a map of Montana counties. Each county is a seperate MC withing the larger parent clip (allcnt_mc). When a county is clicked on, I'd like to center that county on the stage and zoom to its extent. The challenging part has been telling the parent (allcnt_mc) where to tween to. Since each individual county is a child of the parent, they have their own coordinate space referencing that of the parent.
Is there a way I can query the location (x,y) of a child in the parent's coordinate space? With this number, I could calculate the distanct between the parent's current reg. point and that of the child, indicating the distance that the parent would have to move to be centered on the stage. I was trying to use localToGlobal but could not figure out how to use it.
I am currently developing a dynamic LineChart in FLEX 4.I am implementing a Tree control next to my LineChart, which will filter the LineChart dataprovider and lineseries. The tree control has several branches and ultimately 5 children (leaf nodes) at the bottom of the last branch.I need the leaf node/children to be displayed as checkboxes inside the tree control.As I understand,this will require overrides in the TreeItemRenderer class.This is where I am a little confused on how to implement that.Currently I can distinguish between leaf and branches using this code, in my main MXML component.I added this because it may be helpful to some beginning FLEXdevelopers, such as myself, who cannot easily find this functionality documented well:
private function treeClick(e:ListEvent):void { _selectedItem = Tree(e.currentTarget).selectedItem; if(mainTree.dataDescriptor.isBranch(_selectedItem)) {[code].....
I am looking at the TreeItemRenderer override class from the following example here: In the example, they override the "createChildden" super function to add checkboxes to the tree control.My question is, can I override the createChildren function directly in my MXML component, and not have to use an entire class file to override this functionality? Must I re-invent the wheel to do this?Also, how can I distinguish that my treeItem is a leaf node and not a parent, in the override function? I only want to add checkboxes to the leaf nodes, how can I differentiate? The following example adds checkboxes to all branches and leaf nodes, but I want to add checkboxes only to leaf node/children. How would you approach that?
override protected function createChildren( ): void { super.createChildren( );[code]............
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 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
I have 3 square. smallest square s3 is inside s2. s2 is in side s1. each is 10px larger [code]how can I find the coordinate of child in its parent's coordinate system?
I've used this site as a resource leading up to this, not particularly sure if I worded this correctly I have a class "Block" which is just a square (will be something else later on in the process) I want each block to have controls to add an additional block in either direction so I have another class BlockButtons which has my buttons for each direction.
And another class GlobalVar where I keep all my variables for funsies
I have an Movie Clip in Flash that have subobject of button type which has subobject of input text and movie clips. Right after creation core Moveclip all subobject are set to null, when I expect them to be valid objects.
[Code]...
MC_Core_design was created in Flash and exported to Actionscript. I've done this for button_1 class aswell. The code was written using Flex. When I comment out both lines that result in error I get correct view of the core Movie clip with all subobject. How can I set subobject properties right after object creation?
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
