Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Fast color-transformation over MovieClip with cacheAsBitmap
Why don't you create a BitmapData from the original background and apply the light on this new bitmapdata which even yourself said it's faster. Then, everytime the stage is resized you can just create another BitmapData from the original background. This is not really a solution, but seems a nice and fast workaround. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
[Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes
Posted this on Flash_tiger without any luck. I know about using delete in E4X XML to delete unwanted XML nodes, but how would you hunt down through and delete any nodes (of a specific type, say module nodes in the example below) that don't have any children? For example, if myXML happens to look like: xml modules module title=apple/ module title=orange node/ module module title=banana node/ module module title=plum/ module title=pear/ module title=pineapple node/ module /modules /xml then with that structure, I would want my code to remove the module nodes that have the title attribute values of apple, plum, and pear since those have no child nodes. I know I could figure it out through enough trial and error, but I've spent enough time on it already. Thought someone here could give a quick answer. Thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes
This might get you pointed in the right direction. You can get an
XMLList of all the empty nodes by this kind of statement
xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
but if you then try a simple delete on that
delete xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
you get: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList.
I'm not sure right now why that wouldn't work. But you could simply
loop through the XMLList generated and do a delete on each node
var emptyModule:XMLList = xml.modules.module.(children().length() == 0);
var index:int = emptyModule.length() - 1;
for(var i = index; i - 1; i--){
delete emptyModule[i];
}
trace(xml);
hth,
Rob
PS so as far as the delete operator I'm not sure why
delete(xml.modules.module) works while something like
delete(xm.modules.module.(@title == apple)) gives an error like
above. I would think that both those querries result in an XMLList,
in the first case the delete occurs but not in the second... maybe
some lunch will help my brain work better.

Actually, you don't need that newXML var. Sorry. I left that in during debugging. Just setChildren the original xml, as I did. If you want to make a copy without destroying the original, then setChildren() the newXML var instead. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes
Since Jason wanted to get rid of all the nodes that were empty he would want to filter against !=0 and then use setChildren to refresh his original xml. Using setChildren is a nifty trick, much nicer than that delete loop I put out there.

RE: [Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes
Thanks Steve - have it working. Yep, I love E4X too - still learning all the intricacies like this, so this is another notch in my belt. (however for anyone listening and for the archives, your code does the opposite of what I want. It removes all nodes WITH children. I want to remove any nodes that DON'T have children. Changing that one line to look for children length greater than 0 does the trick: var list:XMLList = xml..module.(children().length() 0); ) Thanks for your help, Jason Merrill Bank of America Global Learning Shared Services Solutions Development Monthly meetings on the Adobe Flash platform for rich media experiences - join the Bank of America Flash Platform Community -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Steven Sacks Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2009 12:25 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes Filter the XML using E4X and then make a new XML from that filtered result. var xml:XML = xml modules module title=apple/ module title=orange node/ /module module title=banana node/ /module module title=plum/ module title=pear/ module title=pineapple node/ /module /modules /xml; // var list:XMLList = xml..module.(children().length() == 0); var newXML:XML = xml/; xml.setChildren(list); trace(xml); ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Rob, I came across the same problem when trying out various E4X

populated nodes instead of unpopulated ones, but I fixed that).

Expanding the Flash Actionscript 3.0 Videoplayer http://www.thetechlabs.com/tutorials/xml/expanding-the-as3-videoplayer/ The second is great for a very quick build. Uses a 3rd party component that handales all the logic for the player, all you have to do is build the UI and give them keyword instance names.

Re: [Flashcoders] XML find and delete nodes
Once you really dig into E4X and realize the crazy stuff you can do, it's amazing. I do some pretty crazy E4X parsing, filtering and validation with Gaia. Here are some examples: // get all nodes named page or asset in the entire XML var nodes:XMLList = xml.descendants().(name() == page || name() == asset); // from those nodes, find any that don't have both id and src attributes var invalidNodes:XMLList = nodes.(!attribute(id).length() || ! attribute(src).length()); // get all nodes where id is not alphanumeric or begins with a number invalidNodes = nodes.(!(/^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i.test(@id))); // this one is complex but basically it isolates nodes that do not have a valid // class package path in a package attribute var packageNodes:XMLList = xml.descendants(). (attribute(package).length() 0); invalidNodes = packageNodes.(!(/^[a-z][\w\.]*\w+$/ i.test(attribute(package; As you can see, combining E4X and RegEx you can do some CRAZY stuff. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Does Flash CS4 run very slowly for everyone, or might there be something wrong with my installation? Just about anything I do takes ages to happen. For instance, if I open Properties to type in an Instance Name, when I click somewhere else after that it takes 4 or 5 seconds before I can do anything - it just locks up for those seconds. 4 or 5 seconds does not sound much, but when it happens again and again and again day after day it really slows my work down.
