Xml :: Actionscript 3 - Get Parent Of Selected Node
Feb 16, 2012
I have a project, where I am selecting a scene based on the information in a Tree's XML data provider.
As you can see in my XML below, I've got two scenes. Each have a view001 attribute, which only exists at the highest level in the tree hierarchy. What I need to do, is to find out the information stored in this attribute.
I need to see only the one that contains the currently selected item in my Tree (named treeView, dataProvider is the xml file, labelfield is .@name).
One problem I do know I have, is that I'm only checking the first parent(). My problem is, that I don't know how to "step" through the XML, to go up one parent at a time.
This is my function:
public function getParentItem():XML {
var selectedItem:XML = new XML(treeView.selectedItem);
while(selectedItem.@view001.toString() == "") {
[Code].....

I'm using XML to populate a comboBox Component. How do I get the aactionscript to trace which number in the array the choice is? So for example is my choices are:
choice A
choice B
choice C
on the dropdown box, whne I click "choice A" I want it to trace "0" because that's it's place in the XML, or if I click "choice C" it will say 2".If i use "length" it will tell me how many. I need to know what to use that tells me which one.

I have a XML based Tree Control. The XML Structure is recursive, so the children's can have the same Element as the parent. I now want to let the user add and remove the elements. Do do so I need to get the parent element of the selected Item. Following code I already collected together:
var selected:XML = treeControl.selectedItem;
parent.insertChildAfter(selected:XML, newElement);
I just don't know how to get to the selected parents node as there is no such method like treeControl.selectedItem.parent.

I'm developing an AIR app that requires a menu to show only during the first run. In it the user will be able to choose the desired language for the app to run in.
I'm displaying this menu without a problem but I need it to stay visible until the "select language" comboBox is changed and then return the selected choice's data value.
how to return a value only after the combo box is changed.
function promptFRMenu():String{
FRMenu.enabled = FRMenu.visible = true; //when I detect the app is running for the
// first time, the dialog box is enabled

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.

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
Code:
<gallery>

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

Is there any way to disable a few columns for a particular row in flex datagrid?
I have a datagrid with about 10 or more columns, say for example a few column names are: Item Id, Item Name, Item Status and VerifiedState. Initially I want the column Verified State to be disabled.
Now When the value of the column, Item Status is Review Passed for a particular row, I want the column VerifiedState to be enabled and editable. Is that possible in Flex datagrid.

I'm currently making a platform game and when the player shoots i want to add the bullets to the stage. The players gun class is in charge of adding bullets. The "players gun" is a child of "players gun holder" which is a child of "player" which is a child of the stage. is there a better or more dynamic way for the "players gun" to add bullets to the stage rather than using parent.parent.parent.addChild (bullet);

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I am trying to access a function that is on my document class for my AS3 project, from a nested class. That is, the Document Class calls Class A which then calls Class B. So I am trying to access a function from Class B, I am trying to use MovieClip(parent).function(); but I am getting error 1120. The MovieClip(parent) (fixed to reflect my document class, etc) works when I try it from other classes but not from this nested class.

Simple drag and drop application where mc is dragged out of one parent mc and dropped into another parent mc.All works OK until I added 2 text boxes to the mc's -- one is a non-selectable dynamic text box (a label) which is set by the code, the other is selectable input text that the user can amend.
Finger cursor disappears when user hovers over the section of the mc that contains the text fields (even non-selectable text??) When the user trys to drag the mc by inadvertantly click-dragging anywhere within both text areas it causes this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.text::TextField@2374a381 to flash.display. MovieClip (same error appears for both text boxes)
The input text box may confuse the user - how do they sometimes click to drag and sometimes click to amend? I need to create an overlay area within the mc that is click-detected for the drag? Here's the relevant bits of code:
var itemArray:Array = [
{iname:"police",ititle:"POLICE OFFICER"},
{iname:"insurance_assessor",ititle:"INSURANCE ASSESSOR"},[code].............

I have a parent swf which loads many child swfs (though only one is displayed at a time). My intention was to use the loaded SWFs document class to retrieve an array of objects to be assigned a tab index, combine this with the parent's own array of objects and apply sequential tab indices to them all. But what happens is actually that the parent's objects are assigned an index, but the external swf is unaffected. In fact, the external swf retains its automatic tab indexing, when I would expect that having set a value for InteractiveObject.tabIndex, automatic tab indexing would be disabled.
I've seen similar tales elsewhere. Most posts I've read are wanting to load an external swf, give it focus and loop through those objects, then close the swf and return to looping through the parent. However I would like loop through all objects as one. including manipulating the focus manager(s), and basically fiddling with every tab-related property I know.

function f(e:Event):void{
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("newswf.swf"));

which was suggested to me in a different post to target the parent loader class, however i now no longer can reference my preloader in the parent swf (extract from the parent swf):
