Xml :: Flash - Run If/else Statement To Check If XML Node Is Empty?
Feb 23, 2010
checking an XML file for a specific node.
Example:
<vid
flv="videoName"
thumb="thumbnail.jpg"
title="Video Title"
[code]....
The first vid node contains a path to a logo graphic, I then need to check in my ActionScript if there is a logo there or not, and to do something if there is(display the logo) I can trace out the logo path so I thought I could run a simple if/else to check if there is anything in that node and if so to do something:
private function thumbOver(e:MouseEvent = null):void
{
trace("
");
[code]....
Now I've tried everything, but it will always trace out "Does have a logo" no matter what I do. I tried:
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == "")
if (tabData[tabID].video[e.target.id].@logo == null)
However I get the same results?

I want to check if an input text field is empty. I only managed to do it this way;
mytext = textfield.text;
if(mytext != "") .....
The problem with this approach is that I also want to exclude variables with whitespaces.
I tried; if(!isEmpty(mytext) )..... but that didnt work.

I have a code to erase a masked movieclip. I would like to know how I can check if the whole movieclip is been erased. So I thought I had to check if the BitmapData is empty. How can I check if every pixel of the movieclip has been erased?
if (erasableBitmapData = empty){
trace("empty")
} var lineSize:Number=40;
var doDraw:Boolean=false;
var resumeDrawing:Boolean=false;

I am trying to use a mouseevent.startdrag to move a particular movieclip, but I don't know how to go about checking the object in question. The code below doesn't seem to work with either ==Object(MCsquare) or just ==MCsquare.
function onStartDrag(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
trace(evt.target);
[Code]....
How can I run a check to see if the target object is MCsquare?

I have made a menu system with 6 buttons, and on the layer above, I've made 6 'not active looking button' movieclips:
WEB / MYSPACE / BUY DK / BUY EU / DOWNLOAD / iTUNES
And I have made an XML file that contains the links for each button.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<infoXML>[code].....

I have a button on stage which has a child menu movieclip and that movieclip has three submenu button children.On each of these 3rd level buttons an event listener draws a new container on the stage and adds a new movieClip holding various info.This all works nicely, but I cannot work out a way to get an eventListener on the menu buttons to check if the container already exists so I can then stop the button repeating the add container function. So, at the moment you can repeatedly hit any of these menu buttons and they will just continue to add info movieClip children.I've tried some nice Boolean commands that should work, but I think it's the nesting of the children/relationships that are not allowing me to get this to work.So, basically for arguments sake, let's say I only have one of each item... here's the nesting of children:[code]

how to write to an empty xml node using AS2? For example...
<root>
<level1></level1>
</root>
I am trying to write a string between level1 opening and closing tag, but I haven't been able to do so using AS2 because nodeType returns 1 for the child of level1 instead of 3.I have tried appendChild(), parseXML(), nodeValue = "string goes here...", and every other method that I can think of.

In a setup like this is it possible to check the cumulative status of all onLoadInit?
for(var i:Number = 0; i < limit; i++) {
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip) {

Initially I was thinking that I could pass an array of Boolean's, but I'm not really sure where to add that checkpoint, because a flash frame doesn't keep looping. Would I have to add it to an onEnterFrame()?

Why does the trace in the loop below return false for every iteration, even though there ARE nodes named with 6 of the 8 possible values??? This only happens when I have a namespace. Is there some other way to check for the node values???

I have a MC that pulls in XML data. The data it calls is content and a link. To make the MC launch the link I'm using the "onRelease" function. The MC pulls in the data from the content node and the data from the link node just fine. The problem is when my client just wants content without a URL the MC still keeps the "onRelease" function, so the content (that shouldn't be linkable) is still clickable and launches a "error" page.I'm trying to disable the "onRelease" function by checking if the URL node has data in it but I can't figure out a way to do this?THIS SCRIPT IS WITH IN THE MC:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.linkName = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

Say I start at a leaf node, and I traverse up the tree by using .parent(). I need an exit condition once it hits root. At the moment, I'm using parent.@name != "root", where name is just an attribute, but shouldn't I be able to check the type of element as well? How? Also, is there another way to end the traversal in as3?

I have a multiple choice quiz designed for a client. I have an array that works thruout the questions, that if the user answers incorrectly, it stores the question number in the array. When the user reaches the end of the quiz, I dont want this array to always display at the end, since the user could have all the asnwers correct (which means the array should be empty). I am trying to make an if else statement that will display a different message if the array is empty.[code]...

I want to check in my function if a passed argument of type object is empty or not. Sometimes it is empty but still not null thus I can not rely on null condition. Is there some property like 'length'/'size' for flex objects which I can use here.

If I have an XMLList object in Flex, what is the proper way to check to see if the list is empty? Should I just compare the result of myList.length() > 0, myList.toString() != "" or try another method altogether?

Is there a simple way to check if an associative array has anything in it whatsoever? Not looking for a specific key/value, but rather if there's *anything* in it, similar to checking if a normal array is empty by checking it's 'length'.

I have the following code.
Code:
var codes_txt;
locatie_mc.visible = false;
check_mc.visible = false;[code]....
When someone enters text in the inputfield (Instancename= codes_txt) it has to be checked.
If it is good(GoedeCode) kaarten_mc has to go to the next frame.
If it isn't good(FouteCode) kaarten_mc has to go to the previous frame.
If the code does not excist they have to get an error: code does not excist.
It has to start checking after the function CheckCode.
Now I don't know how to check the inputfield. In theory I know what to do but I don't know how to put it into AS3.
