I’ve noticed that when I set a variable equal to the xml you gave, I had to
remove any attributes with the : in the name in order to parse it with e4x.
For example, I tried to simply Alert.show(“status xml: “ + thexml.Status); and
that would not work until I removed the : namespacing attributes like so:
<rdf>
<Status >
<statusCode
>3</statusCode>
<presence lang="NUM">3</presence>
<presence lang="en">Away</presence>
<presence lang="fr">Absent</presence>
<presence lang="de">Abwesend</presence>
<presence lang="ja">一時退席中</presence>
<presence lang="zh-cn">暫時離開</presence>
<presence lang="zh-tw">离开</presence>
<presence lang="pt">Ausente</presence>
<presence lang="pt-br">Ausente</presence>
<presence lang="it">Torno subito</presence>
<presence lang="es">Ausente</presence>
<presence lang="pl">Zaraz wracam</presence>
<presence lang="se">Tillfälligt borta</presence>
</Status>
</rdf>
If what you posted previously works, I’m surprised. I initially coded a sample
to show what you could do instead, and then had to troubleshoot it, as it
wasn’t working.
With the above xml, the following works:
if(testxml.Status.presence.(@lang=="en")!="Offline")
{
// do whatever you need to do if they aren’t offline
}
var status:String = testxml.Status.presence.(@lang=="en");
mx.controls.Alert.show("status: " + status);
Hope this helps a bit, I’m not really sure how to handle the namespaces with
e4x or why I can’t do basic e4x queries when they are present. =(

Subject: [flexcoders] e4x question
hi all - i'm trying to get the english status from a skype status xml (below).
What I'm not sure how to deal with is the xml:lang attribute. I'm sure there's
a clever way to set the namespace and use e4x to get out the one i want
but i'm not sure how. I ended up doing this:
for (i=0; i < event.result.RDF.Status.presence.length; i++) {
if
(event.result.RDF.Status.presence[i]["xml:lang"] == "en") {
if
(event.result.RDF.Status.presence[i]["value"] != "Offline") {
status = "Online";
}
break;
}
}
can anyone tell me a cleaner way to do it perhaps using e4x please? I suspect
my e4x attempts were misguided.
Toby
