Xml Parsing - Find Specific XML Data By Attribute Name/value In Flash?
Mar 31, 2012
Given the following XML code:
<set name="thumbsBooks">
<set name="pdf">
<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
<thumb>Data I want to access</thumb>
[code]....
I want to be able to get the data contained in the "thumb" tags using the "name" attribute value of the parent tag as a selector, something like you would do in jQuery: $('set[name="pdf"]').find('thumb');Is there a method like this in Action Script 2 (can't use AS3)?

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 having trouble parsing some xml that has a few attribute names with : characters in them. The compiler is not throwing any errors and when I trace my complete xml object out it is all there, however when I try to trace out any element or node it keeps comming up undefined. I removed the attribute names with : characters in them and everything works fine. I cant seem to target the attributes either to delete them.

have an RSS feed, within Flex I have connected to the feed via HTTPService, the XML structure is as follows (not exact, but for the purpose of the question). I am able to walk down the xml and access the data within the title and link nodes with success but when I get the the description node and try to access the img and src attributes within it, I haven't had any success. Reading about parsing with e4x the example I get is:
var xList:XMLList = xData.channel.item.description.(attribute("src"));
or
var xList:XMLList = xData.channel.item.description.(@src);

I have an XML file I'm parsing out into a Flash movie. The XML contains multiple nodes, and within those nodes are multiple attributes.So, for example, there is a node called FirstNode. In that is an attribute FirstNodeID="1" and then there is another node, also called FirstNode which has an attribute of FirstNodeID="2". Each node also has attributes called Header and Body and so on.
What I'm wondering is, how do I call out specific things based on an attribute?Right now, when I call the Header attribute from FirstNode I get ALL of the Header information from ALL of the FirstNode nodes. I need to be able to get JUST the info from FirstNodeID="1", FirstNodeID="2" and so on as needed.
[Code]...
I'd like to be able to be able to simply rename the dynamic text fields and then only paste in the actionscript that defines what nodes to pull the text from and what fields to put it into. So everything from the //MAIN TEXT area in the actionscript above.

I use this code in as3 in order to find node with specific id value but it is working for 2 depth
elementsToDraw = elementsList.*.(@id=="hello");
For example at this xml node can be found
<nodes>
<node id="d">
<node id="hello">
[Code]....
What should I write for searching in any depth element with id="hello"?

Wanna see something interesting?
var xml:XML = XML(<feed><entry /><entry /><entry /></feed>);
trace(xml.entry.length()) // returns 3
Makes sense, right? Now let's add this attribute. var xml:XML = XML(<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><entry /><entry /><entry /></feed>); trace(xml.entry.length()) // returns 0
Well that can't be right. Let's try it with a different attribute.
var xml:XML = XML(<feed test="okay"><entry /><entry /><entry /></feed>);trace(xml.entry.length()) // returns 3
Anyone know what would cause this? I used atom as an example, but any 'xmlns' attribute on the root node seems to have this effect. The value returned is straight up false - there are obviously still 3 'entry' child nodes regardless of the attributes their parents possess.

I have intercepted x-amf data being posted to a website from my computer by a flash application. I have the collected POST data in hex form. While some of it has translated directly to text, the rest is showing wierd symbols which probably means they're flash objects. How do I parse this data to get meaningful output outta it?
Basically, I need a script/program/anything that will take in amf data in the hex form, and output text and flash objects...

i'm still transitioning from as2 to as3, i'm having trouble with parsing XML data to Multi dimensional array, below is the onComplete handler which is succesfully tracing 'event.target.data' but outputs 'A term is undefined and has no properties' when tracing _vein_data[0][0].xPos. I'm guessing there is a easier way to approach it than this attempt

I have a Flash MP3 player that loads the song list from an XML file. I'm trying to set it up to take the customer to the online store to purchase the currently playing song. The player successfully loads the track name, artist name, and url to the song, but for some reason does not appear to the load the new attribute of buylink that I have just added. Given the code below, my buylink value is returned as undefined.

I have a Flex XML object as follows:
private var _xmlCountries:XML =
<Countries>
<option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
<option value="AL">Albania</option>
<option value="DZ">Algeria</option>
<option value="AO">Angola</option>
[Code]...
This object is ok, and shows up correctly in debug mode. The problem is I have a country name i.e. private var _country:String = "Angola";, and I want to get the corresponding value 'AO' from the XML object. Do you know how to do this?
I have tried loads of Livedocs examples, but cant get it to work. P.S. I am working on a HtpService & WebService driven app to display global weather conditions overlayed on a Google Maps interface. Going to make it available to the Flex community when finished.

I've been trying to figure out how to display the descendants (in this case exchangeRate and PlacesOfInterest) of a parent node with a specific attribute.To set the scene - the user clicks on a button which sets a string variable to a destination eg. japan or australia.The code then runs through a set of nodes in the XML and any that have a matching attribute is traced - simple enoughWhat I can't figure out is how to then display only the child nodes of the node with that attribute.I'm sure there has to be a way of doing it and I'll probably be banging my head against the desk when I find it
public function ParseDestinations(destinationInput:XML):void
{
var destAttributes:XMLList = destinationInput.adventure.destination.attributes();

what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".
[URL]
below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title">
<section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" >
<frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text
here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content

I am having a problem parsing xml data, I know how to get it into as3, and that is working pretty well after following a brilliant tutorial on kirupa:[URL] But I am having a problem tracing the data that I want. Seemingly it is connecting to the database and is working in that sense but when I try to trace data I am getting a couple problems. The first is that I need to somehow specify a value of a single item to get the rest of the data. Here is the xml:
