julien:
sure here's a sample:
class com.mysite.model.Settings {
private static var instance = null;
public var custom_color_3:String;
public var background_image:Boolean;
public var background_type:String;
public var background_alpha:Number;
public var title_mode:String;
//rest of class....
}
Here is the function where I parse the xml into the properties above, pretty
simple:
function parseSettings(){
var settingsBranch = app_xml.firstChild.firstChild;
var c = settingsBranch.childNodes;
var num = settingsBranch.childNodes.length;
var nextBranch:XMLNode = settingsBranch.childNodes[0];
while(nextBranch){
var tagName = nextBranch.nodeName;
settings[tagName] = nextBranch.firstChild.nodeValue;
nextBranch = nextBranch.nextSibling;
}
}
and here is what the xml looks like:
<settings>
<custom_color_3>#FFFFFF</custom_color_3>
<background_image>1</background_image>
<background_type>jpg</background_type>
<background_alpha>100</background_alpha>
<title_mode>PROFILE</title_mode>
</settings>
eka: - yeah, i know xml is only a string..my problem is that i am assigning
a string to properties that are clearly typed as something other than a
string, yet flash isnt complaining.

Hello :)
a XML is only a String .... all properties (nodeValue) or attributes are
strings... you must transform the type of your values with customs
"deserialize" functions.
For me it's better to use JSON for example : http://www.json.org/ (you
keep
the primitive types of your objects with the serialize/deserialize)
You can try to use my openSource framework "VEGAS" who implement JSON and
EDEN (the best solution to text format datas)
Install VEGAS : http://vegas.riaforge.org/ (use the SVN or the zip link in
this page to download my framework)
Test the JSON examples in VEGAS in the vegas.string package :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/vegas/string/
Test the Eden examples (Burrrn library used in VEGAS) :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/buRRRn/eden/
Test JSON and Eden extension in ASGard (extension of VEGAS) :
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/net/ (JSONLoader,
EdenLoader)
Test my example of Config pattern and localization pattern in
http://svn.riaforge.org/vegas/AS2/trunk/bin/test/asgard/config/ (and
bin/test/system)
For me ... XML is slow and don't keep the typing !
EKA+ :)
