RE: [Flashcoders] xml parse question - Steve Sacks

2007-03-16 Thread Merrill, Jason 
Here's XML2AS as an AS2 static class for her pleasure.

Steve,

I've used a lot of XML parsers, and have never found one I've been fully
satisfied with. I've seen you post this a few times before, but I couldn
never get yours working right, so I thought I would try again.  I like
the simplicity and figure that will translate to speed if I can get it
working.  

So, this worked fine initially, then stopped working:

trace(xmlObj.config[0].test[0].attributes.foo);

So I suspected maybe your parser had not finished.  I even tried putting
the rest of the code further down the timeline to be sure at frame 20,
but no luck.  How would you grab Other text from the XML?  I tried it
this way, as I would have expected it to work:

trace(xmlObj.config[0].items[0].item[2])

Also tried:

trace(xmlObj.config[0].items[0].item[2].nodeValue)

Either way is how I would expect it to work, but they just trace
undefined.  Here is my code with comments where it breaks - Again, I
even tried putting the rest of the code further down the timeline, to be
sure your method had finished parsing, but it made no difference:

import com.stevensacks.data.XML2AS;  //imports fine
var myXML = new XML();
myXML.load(myXML.xml);
myXML.onLoad = xmlLoadHandler

function xmlLoadHandler (success){
var xmlObj:Object = {};
XML2AS.parse(myXML.firstChild, xmlObj);
trace(myXML.firstChild) //traces fine
trace(XML2AS) //traces fine
trace(xmlObj.config[0].test[0].attributes.foo);  //undefined
trace(xmlObj.config[0].items[0].item[2].nodeValue) //undefined
var nodes:Array = xmlObj.config[0].items[0].item; 
trace(nodes) // undefined
var i:Number = nodes.length; while (i--) {
trace(nodes[i]);
}
}

/* myXML.xml file:
config
test foo=bar/
items
item![CDATA[Some text]]/item
item![CDATA[More text]]/item
item![CDATA[Other text]]/item
/items
/config

your class file:

class com.stevensacks.data.XML2AS
{
public static function parse(n, r) 
{
var a, d, k;
if (r[k=n.nodeName] == null) r = ((a=r[k]=[{}]))[d=0];
else r = (a=r[k])[d=r[k].push({})-1];
if (n.hasChildNodes()) {
if ((k=n.firstChild.nodeType) == 1) {
r.attributes = n.attributes;
for (var i in k=n.childNodes)
XML2AS.parse(k[i], r);
} else if (k == 3) {
a[d] = new
String(n.firstChild.nodeValue);
a[d].attributes = n.attributes;
}
} else r.attributes = n.attributes;
}
}
*/

Any ideas?

Hey Jason,

You don't say .nodeValue - the nodeValue is just the first item in the
Array.  Technically, it's a String object.

Here is a sample class that parse that entire xml and traces it out.
In your timeline just put:

import com.Test;
var test:Test = new Test();

And you'll see it trace the test.xml file.

///

import com.stevensacks.data.XML2AS;
import mx.utils.Delegate;

class com.Test
{
private var xml:XML;

function Test() 
{
var d:Date = new Date();
var xmlPath:String = test.xml;
load(xmlPath);
}
private function load(xmlPath:String):Void
{
xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, parseXML);
xml.load(xmlPath);
}
private function parseXML(success:Boolean):Void 
{
if (success) {
var xmlObj:Object = {};
XML2AS.parse(xml.firstChild, xmlObj);
trace(test.foo =  +
xmlObj.config[0].test[0].attributes.foo);
var nodes:Array =
xmlObj.config[0].items[0].item;
var i:Number = nodes.length;
while (i--) {
trace(nodes[i]);
}   
} else {
trace(XML Failed to load);
}
}
}

Thanks, I'll try out your sample and expand on that.  BTW, why did you
throw in the Date object - were you going to use that to append to the
XML path string as a cache buster?  I see you declared it, but didn't
use it again.

all the attributes are in the attributes object, so you can just do a  
for...in loop and grab them all.


example:

for(a in xObj.attributes) {
obj[a] = xObj.attributes[a];
}

Re: [Flashcoders] xml parse question

The xml that you've shown consists of all attributes, that is value 
pairs inside a tag. Each node has a attributes property. Here is a small 
snippet that demonstrates accessing attributes.


   private function loadProblems(xFileName:String):Void
   {
   var sLessonPath = this.theLessonPath;// _root.lesson_path;
   var pathedFileName:String = sLessonPath + xFileName
   xmlFile = new XML();
   xmlFile.ignoreWhite = true;
   xmlFile.onLoad = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this, fetchLessonFiles);
   xmlFile.load( pathedFileName );   
  
   return;
   }   


   public function fetchLessonFiles():Void
   {
   var cFileNum:Number = 1;// counter

   var cFileID:String;
   cFileID = unescape(xmlFile[cFileNum].attributes.fileName);

Carl,
 
That is how you do it.  Here's another way.
 
The following will copy the attributes of one node to another, provided they 
both have exactly the same attributes in the same order, regardless of what the 
attributes names are.
 
function replaceNode(theNode, withNode):Boolean { for(attr in 
theNode.attributes) {  if (typeof withNode.attributes[attr] != 'undefined')   
theNode.attributes[attr] = withNode.attributes[attr];  else  {   
proxy.call(alertWin, withNode.attributes[attr] +  was undefined );   return 
false;  } } return true;}//end replaceNode

I don't think that's still the case with Flash player 8 (and up).

Why one would care about an Object properties order is beyond me in the first 
place though,
but maybe I missed something in one of the thread replies (and this isn't about 
copying attributess to object properties).

 loop through the attributes with a for statement, you'll get
 the attributes in the reverse order. I personally loop
 through the attributes and push the attribute name to an
 array and then reverse order, when the for is done.

Subject: [Flashcoders] xml parse question


 Hi coders,

 I just started working on a new project that is requiring me to handle
 an xml format that I haven't had to deal with yet.

 Here is an example of what it looks like:

 image imageID=halLogin img=hal.png text=
 Font=Black,8,Regular,AlignLeft onPanel=true xPos=0.25
 yPos=0.112 /

 I'm used to parsing xml that looks like this:

 something
 blahfoo/blah
 /something

 How do I parse xml that looks like the first example with multiple
 values inside of a single node?

 Thanks.
