Re: [Flashcoders] XMLList Namespace Madness
Start by throwing away the XMLList wrapper, what you really have is a single XML element, stop trying to pretend otherwise. Once you have the XML instance, just call the namespace method with the prefix to get the correct Namespace instance to use. Or even simpler, create the Namespace object directly from the used url. With that done it is a simple matter of using the namespace qualifier operator http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/operators.html#name_qualifier. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

RE: [Flashcoders] XMLList Namespace Madness
Here is my final utility function to disable XML namespaces if anyone finds
this useful:
/**
* This method will disable, but not remove namespace declarations
in an XML document. Namespace declarations
* are altered from using a color designator (:) to a replacement
character. Default namespaces
* can be kept if desired, and the replacement character can also
be customized.
* @param xml The XML document to be processed.
* @param replacementCharacter The character to substitute for the
colon (:) in the XML document.
* @param disableDefaultNamespaces When false, this keeps the
default namespace declarations in the document (any xmlns= attribute
declaration).
* @return The modified XML document.
*/
public static function disableNamespaces(xml:XML,
replacementCharacter:String=_, disableDefaultNamespaces:Boolean=true):XML
{
var xmlString:String = xml.toXMLString();
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new
RegExp('*:','gi'),replacementCharacter);
if(disableDefaultNamespaces) xmlString = xmlString.replace(new
RegExp('xmlns=','gi'),'xmlns'+replacementCharacter+'=');
return XML(xmlString);

And why does the trace on myXMLList2 show an XML list where there is
more namespace applied: GetUserProfileByNameResponse

Any help is MUCH appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] XMLList Namespace Madness
Thanks Karl.
There are some problems doing it that way if you have more than one namespace
or the namespaces contain prefixes. I developed a workaround based on various
things I pieced together from Google, to disable the namespaces by using
RegEx and inserting underscores for the :, which works for the default and
any others with prefixes:
var xmlString:String = myXMLList.toXMLString();
// define the regex pattern to remove the namespaces from the string
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new RegExp('*:','gi'),'_');
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new RegExp('xmlns=','gi'),'xmlns_=');
var finalXML:XML = XML(xmlString);
However, I would love to know why it has to be done this way. Seems kinda
hackish.
But it is kinda cool, it will turn this:
GetUserProfileByNameResponse

Re: [Flashcoders] XMLList Namespace Madness
Mmmm.. I've been getting into AS3 and XML a little more, so good to
know.
So is your problem solved? I don't want to beat a dead horse. :)
If no, I have run across somewhat a similar case of a return from an
XML not parsing into a string when referenced directly.
so this doesn't work..
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData)
{
//WHY DOES THIS NOT TRACE?
trace(propertyDataXML: +propertyDataXML);
}
but try setting it to a var then trace..
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData)
{
//SEE IF THIS DOES
var result = propertyDataXML;
trace(propertyDataXML: +result);
}
or for the namespace/prefix problem and the return try..
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData)
{
//OR MAYBE THIS DOES
var result = ![CDATA[ +propertyDataXML+]];
trace(propertyDataXML: +result);
}
or if you can insert the CDATA in the xml, if you have control over
that aspect.
Value![CDATA[ HelloWorld 1]]/Value
I have also found that when converting spaces and prefixes, using the
HTML special characters instead translates back well.
so using %20 or the nbsp; for space for example.
Also, there was another post on this list about wrapping your result
in ![CDATA[ ]]
the subject was [Flashcoders] AS2.0 - Parsing special HTML
characters in CDATA - onLoad vs onData.
Granted it is an AS2 post, but I think the logic is possibly the
right direction for the resulting data.
Not sure if this is the fix for your situation, but I hope so.
HTH,
Best,

RE: [Flashcoders] XMLList Namespace Madness
Thanks Karl - good stuff. Yeah, modifying the XML and all that - good ideas,
but more work than it may be worth. I've moved on now - kinda very partial to
the RegEx clean/disable the namespace solution - code is much less confusing to
string together. 99% of the time you really don't need the namespace anymore -
just need to consume the data. However, instead of completely removing it,
it's still there if you ever need it - just in the form of a : replaced with a
_.
My code now looks like this:
var xmlString:String = xml.toXMLString();
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new
RegExp('*:','gi'),'_');
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new
RegExp('xmlns=','gi'),'xmlns_=');
var finalXML:XML = XML(xmlString);
userVO.firstName = finalXML..PropertyData.(Name ==

userVO.lastName = finalXML..PropertyData.(Name ==
