RE: [flexcoders] xml parsing
The double colon is the namespace accessor. But I do not really understand that example. Unless you can use a wildcard as a namespace? I have managed to mostly avoid dealing with namespaces so far.

[flexcoders] XML Parsing Questions
Hi all,
I'm working with httpservice and a rich text area. I pull in the xml via
httpservice, then parse out all xml tags. However, dependent on the XML I need
to do various things, such as if the text is in an boldMe tag, then make it
bold; if it's in an italicizeMe tag, then I'll italicize it, then display it,
correctly formatted, in the RTE.
Questions:
1) I need to have the P tags create new lines. Not sure how to do that
without kludgy regular expressions. That can't be the best way. Can it? :)
2) I want to keep the whitespace, but as you'll see that isn't happening.
Thanks,
David

[flexcoders] XML Parsing - maintaining a record pointer
hi, flexCoders!
thanks for all ur help in the past!
Does Flex maintain your record pointer while reading an xml file?
basically what i want to do is read each line and when I hit certain
values, read on for 4 or 5 records, then return to the original
process without starting back at the last record read at the first
read. I can do this the hard way of course by maintaining my own
pointer and treating the file as a giant array, but surely there is an
easier way?
for each (var xmlNode:XML in xml.children()) {
// do stuff
// if(xmlNode.something==aValue) {
for each (var xmlNode:XML read on into the file
thanks,
Libby
Re: [flexcoders] XML Parsing - maintaining a record pointer
You could use a different variable name in the inner loop, that way it
won't change the object in the outer loop.

RE: [flexcoders] XML Parsing - maintaining a record pointer
I would suggest that you do not think in terms of reading the file.
Rather, use e4x to find the node you want to process, then go from
there.
OTOH, it is acceptable to manipulate an XMLList, especially if your data
is a single level.

RE: [flexcoders] XML Parsing
I assume its something like this: foo attr=barbaz/foo I thought we had dealt with this but it might be a known issue. Try tracing foo[attr] and foo.toString() and see if you get the values. Otherwise youll need to adjust your XML.
