[flexcoders] Re: Addressing buried children in XML with default namespace- an easier way?
Not sure what I was doing wrong here but I've got this worked out and
documented here:
http://www.returnundefined.com/dealing-with-default-namespaces-in-flex-2as3
Hopefully someone will find it useful.

[flexcoders] Re: Addressing buried children in XML with default namespace- an easier way?
That doesn't seem to work for me. I have this file:
package com.fmr.tests.PSA_Cairngorm.model
{
public namespace CLIENT_SEARCH_NAMESPACE =
"http://site.com/BackOffice/DoSearch";;
}
and then in my command class, along with all my other import
statements I have:
import com.fmr.tests.PSA_Cairngorm.model.CLIENT_SEARCH_NAMESPACE;
and then I try to use it like this:
use namespace CLIENT_SEARCH_NAMESPACE;
Unfortunately I get the same error as usual:
1004: Namespace was not found or is not a compile-time constant.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Addressing buried children in XML with default namespace- an easier way?
You can reference a namespace object if you put this in a file:
package mypackage {
public namespace DoSearch =
"http://site.com/BackOffice/DoSearch";;
}
"import mypackage.DoSearch" in each class where you want to use it, and
then "use namespace DoSearch".

Bumping this up in the hopes that someone (possibly from Adobe?) can offer an alternative, or at least an explanation of why this is the case. As it stands now, I will have to have these lines: namespace foo = "http://site.com/BackOffice/DoSearch";; use namespace foo; sprinkled throughout my app, which sucks. Why can't use namespace point to an actual Namepsace object? I feel like this is a glaring hole in Flex's XML capabilities.

[flexcoders] Re: Addressing buried children in XML with default namespace- an easier way?
It seems that the only way to use the full functionality of E4X with namespaced XML is by using this method: namespace foo = "http://site.com/BackOffice/DoSearch";; use namespace foo; Unfortunately, that method must be constructed exactly like that- with a static string. You cannot even point it to a constant like MyAppClass.SEARCH_NAMESPACE, which is fairly disappointing. I suppose the namespaces your app uses aren't something that will change very often but it still seems like this is a shortcoming of the implementation of E4X. I feel like I am being punished for using XML that contains namespaces, as it is so crippled in comparison to namespace-free XML. Adobe, can you fix this in a future release? Thanks, Ben Yahoo!

[flexcoders] Re: Addressing buried children in XML with default namespace- an easier way?
Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear in what I was looking for- I am trying to figure out how to address deeply buried nodes without having to go one level at a time. Something like the .. operator, but that is compatible with namespaced XML (.. doesn't seem to be). The Web Services I am calling return data that has nodes sometimes 15 levels deep that I need to access and going one step at a time would be quite tedious. There's got to be a better way... hopefully. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!

Here's a couple:
// namespace constant
public namespace default_ns = "http://fmr.com/BackOffice/PseSearch";;
// init test
public function init () : void {
var xml : XML =
http://fmr.com/BackOffice/PseSearch";>
false

// use namespace prefix
var ns : Namespace = xml.namespace ();
trace (xml.ns::SearchPlan.ns::Plans);
// use namespace constant
use namespace default_ns;
trace (xml.SearchPlan.Plans);
}
