Re: [Flashcoders] xml parsing problem

2006-10-27 Thread Julien V. 

Bill,
Take a look at kirupa's XML guide here:
http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/XMLwayAround2.htm

I also came across the same problem some time ago. I decided not to play 
with siblings because our xml schema (especially the order of the 
sibling nodes) couldn't be predictable. So I went to a custom parsing 
process based on the nodeName of each child node of my sibling nodes.


Something like:

var subItemObject:Object = {};
var subItemChildNodes:Array = subItemNode.childNodes;
for (var i:Number = 0; i  subItemChildNodes.length; i++) {
  var attributeNode:XMLNode = subItemChildNodes[i];
  var attrName:String = attributeNode.nodeName;
  var attrValue:String = attributeNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
  subItemObject[attrName] = attrValue;
}

Hope it helps,

Julien Vignali

You might want to try using my XMLParser class. It translates the XML into
ActionScript-friendly arrays/objects.

Or you could use XML2AS.

// XML2AS - DO NOT AUTO FORMAT!
_global.XML2AS = function(n, r) {
var a, d, k;
if (r[k=n.nodeName] == null) r = ((a=r[k]=[{}]))[d=0];
else r = (a=r[k])[d=r[k].push({})-1];
if (n.hasChildNodes()) {
if ((k=n.firstChild.nodeType) == 1) {
r.attributes = n.attributes;
for (var i in k=n.childNodes) XML2AS(k[i], r);
} else if (k == 3) {
a[d] = new String(n.firstChild.nodeValue);

Steven,

It would be cool if you made a version of that that was mtasc compatible...

Can you provide some usage instructions (i.e. what the arguments n and r
