RE: Trouble with Flex Desktop accessing XML file with namespace elements

[Maurice Amsellem]

You need to add the namespaces (using addNamespace) , since your xml has 
namespaces

This is something that works:

        var ns: Namespace = new Namespace("","http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf";)
        var nsdc: Namespace = new Namespace("dc", 
"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";)   ;

        var packageXml: XML = 
XML(fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable));

        packageXml.addNamespace(ns);
        var metadataXml: XMLList = packageXml.ns::metadata;
        metadataXml.addNamespace(nsdc);

        var titleXml: XMLList = metadataXml.nsdc::title;

        trace(packageXml.toString());
        trace(titleXML.toString());

HTH;

This might help:

Note:   you don't need the second conversion from XML to XMList.  If you use 
directly the first XML, it will not have the aaa namespace.

accessing XML file with namespace elements

HI,

* I have an XML file (actually an epub contentes.opf file) partially shown as 
follows:*

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
     <package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf";
unique-identifier="bookid" version="2.0">
     <metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
       <meta name="generator" content="Adobe InDesign 9.0" />
       <meta name="cover" content="x22305.png" />
       <dc:title>My Title</dc:title>
       <dc:creator>The Author</dc:creator>
    etc

*I read the file as:*

    str = XML(fileStream.readUTFBytes(fileStream.bytesAvailable));
    var xmlList:XMLList = XMLList (str);

*My xmlList trace *

    trace(xmlList);

*now shows (seems to have added a default namespcae - not too bothered by
this):*

    <aaa:package unique-identifier="bookid" version="2.0" xmlns:aaa="
http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf";>
      <aaa:metadata xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
        <aaa:meta name="generator" content="Adobe InDesign 9.0"/>
        <aaa:meta name="cover" content="x22305.png"/>
        <dc:title>My Title</dc:title>
        <dc:creator>The Author</dc:creator>

*How can I access an element from the xmlList (say title)?*

*Tried quite a few variation, so this is driving me a bit nuts and help would 
be appreciated.*


*Thanks for any help!*
