Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2: how to convert a remote XML file to a self defined object

[Doug Arthur]

I just ran into a similar probem and it was for some reason do to the namespace on the xml document. I was trying to work with spreadSheetXML (Microsoft XML schema for Excel), needless to say it was a complex XML doc. I had to do loops on the child, check the name() agains the 
fully_qualified_schema::name
 
eg: if(item.name() == 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet::@data') 

 
 
Below is my complete short example of how I'm parsing through XML. What I'm doing is using a template to re-build XML with dynamic data... (I'm guessing there's a way to do xml translations via xslt but, I have no idea how... so don't take this example to heart as in what I'm doing, this is just shows parsing at least...)

 

public function parseXMLTemplates():
void {  parseChildren(templateXML.children());}public function
 parseChildren(xmlChild:XMLList):void {  var dataXML:XML =   <test>   <data>DATA_SECTION</data>
  </test>;  if(xmlChild.length()) {    for 
each(var item:XML in xmlChild) {
      if(item!=='') {        if(item.name() == 
'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet::@data') {          item.parent().replace(item.name(), dataXML);        }      }  }
  if(xmlChild.children().length())    parseChildren(xmlChild.children());  }}

Sorry for the mistake, actually, I couldn't retrive the "companyA"child by using .child("companyA") method.
