DateChooser with external xml

Im a beginner with Flex.
How do I connect an external xml to a DateChooser so every
time a date is picked a value/or text (different for different
dates) from the xml is passed into a textArea.
In this case I want a value of "50" to be passed to the the
textArea for every day of the week exept for saturdays surtain
months when the value is "80".
Please show with whole code since I'm rather new to this.
Thanks in advance!

Hope he following sample helps !

Testing SWF with external XML file, strange problem.

Hi!
My problem started after migration to 2.01. But I think it's
not version problem.
I have old project which uses external XML files ("
http://www.mydomain.com/myxml.xml").
When I teste project in "bin" folder it works perfect and SWF
import data from XML.
I created new Flex project and copied all scripts from old
one. And my new app can't read external XML!!! (tested in "bin"
folder):
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to xmlURL halted - not permitted from
file:///C:/myproject/bin/myproject-debug.swf
BUT when I copy my new SWF to the old project "bin" folder
then it WORKS! Strange!
I found in Help "The Global Flash Player Trust directory" and
I checked files: "flexbuilder.cfg", "flexbuilder.fbr" there are all
my project paths (old and new).
Thanks for help!

Populating Tree with External XML File

I want to use external files for populating Flex 3
components. I have been successful using code very similar to that
below for a data grid & for a combo box, but it won't work for
a tree. Can you determine wh?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:HTTPService id="dp_Tree1" url="Tree1.xml" />
<mx:Tree dataProvider="{dp_Tree1.lastResult.root.node}"
creationComplete="dp_Tree1.send()" width="333"/>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
It's not working & I can't determine why. Attached is my
xml file that I tested it with.

Thanks a bunch folks, but my intent is to have as little code
as possible. I want to help people who are not coders create
designs using external xml files to populate controls. I was able
to create very simple code with just two lines to populate a
DataGrid from an external xml file:
<mx:HTTPService id="dp_DataGrid1" url="DataGrid1.xml"
/>
<mx:DataGrid
dataProvider="{dp_DataGrid1.lastResult.component.rows}"
creationComplete="dp_DataGrid1.send()" />
And just two lines for a ComboBox:
<mx:HTTPService id="dp_ComboBox1" url="ComboBox1.xml"
/>
<mx:ComboBox
dataProvider="{dp_ComboBox1.lastResult.component.rows}"
creationComplete="dp_ComboBox1.send()" />
Isn't it possible to populate a tree with two lines like as
it is with a DataGrid & ComboBox?

Best way to fill CLOB with external XML from URL

There seem to be a number of great tools available for pl/sql developers in the 8i DB environment and I am tryng to get a handle on them. So far I have worked with XSQL servlet (not PL/SQL), XML Parser and XSU.
The problem I have is to fill a clob from an external xml file via a url and then make that clob available for DBMS_XMLSave to insert into DB. What is the best way to do this? I am thinking maybe I have to use utl_http or utl_tcp to fill the CLOB since I can't seem to find a method in the pl/sql XDK?
XSU - can easily generate CLOB from a query but in this case it is not a query, it is XML from url
XMlparser - can read in from a url using parse() but the document returned is a DOMDocument rather than CLOB.

What are the requirements and steps for arranging to receive this large file using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?
Usually, we don't speak of "receive" when using FTP, since the file is transferred from server to client, so it's more of a case of "download".
At your end, it's simple. You use an FTP client; under SL, that includes Finder and Safari, so you don't even need to get any additional software.
At the other end, it's more complicated; the 'sender' must set up an FTP server on his machine.
Alternatively, you can set up your own Mac as an FTP server, and have the 'sender' connect to you with an FTP client and upload the file; but, if your Mac lives behind a router, then you have more work to do with the router settings.
That's why it's much easier to use the file sharing services mentioned above -- if they are available in both sender's and receiver's locations. (Keep in mind that some countries block access to all those mentioned -- except perhaps <www.transfer.ro>, of which I know absolutely nothing.)

XML Validation with External XSD

Form with dropdown lists using external XML data - Distribution

Hi all,
I have created a form which has a series of drop down lists that populate dynamically from an external XML file. The option selected in the first list determines what data can be selected in the second, and so on.
This functionality worked well within designer when I previewed the form - the problem I have is when I go to distribute. I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed that when I distributed the form, the external XML file would be absorbed into the main PDF, but this as not the case. Not only that, even if the XML file is in the same location as the published PDF, the dropdowns no longer populate with any data.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting to draw in external XML when a form is published? Is there another method to dynamically populate dropdowns that will provide me with a single PDF as a final product?
Cheers,
Lachlan.

Hello Lachlan,
Before distributing the form have you opened that form in Acrobat and imported the XML and saved it ?
Thanks.
Bibhu.

Load external XML into DataGrid with AS3

I've really looked hard to find an example/tutorial for
loading external XML data into a DataGrid component using AS3. The
code I'm using at the moment has the XML data in the AS code. If
anyone can point me to a good resource(s) for code or a tutorial
I'd be very appreciative. It needs to be AS3. ~steve
Here is the code that is working for internal XML data:
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
stop();
var emailXML:XML = <emails>
<email date="06-04-07" code="EMRPAAV" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="06-11-07" code="EMRPAAW" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="06-18-07" code="EMRPAAX" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="06-25-07" code="EMRPAAY" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="07-02-07" code="EMRPAAZ" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
<email date="07-09-07" code="EMRPABA" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>
</emails>;
var dateCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("date");
dateCol.headerText = "Date";
dateCol.width = 60;
var codeCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("code");
codeCol.headerText = "Source Code";
codeCol.width = 70;
var campaignCol:DataGridColumn = new
DataGridColumn("campaign");
campaignCol.headerText = "Campaign";
campaignCol.width = 300;
var myDP:DataProvider = new DataProvider(emailXML);
emailData.columns = [dateCol, codeCol, campaignCol];
emailData.width = 440;
emailData.dataProvider = myDP;
emailData.rowCount = emailData.length;
// end code

Here is how you build it for external XML. in my example am
using the same xml format that you are using . The xml file called
"dataGrid.xml"
import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.events.*;
import flash.xml.*;
var emailXML:XML;
var myList:XMLList;
function parseXML():void
var url:String = "dataGrid.xml";
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener("complete" , loadXML);
loader.load(urlRequest);
/*var emailXML:XML = <emails>
<email date="06-04-07" code="EMRPAAV" campaign="This is
the campaign details."/>

<email date="07-09-07" code="EMRPABA" campaign="This is

</emails>
parseXML();
function loadXML(evt:Event):void
emailXML = new XML(evt.target.data);
myDP = new DataProvider(emailXML);
emailData.dataProvider = myDP;
var dateCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("date");
dateCol.headerText = "Date";
dateCol.width = 60;
var codeCol:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("code");
codeCol.headerText = "Source Code";

Bulleted Text in External XML w/CSS

I have a TexatArea component which is loading text from an
external XML file into a Flash 8 SWF. The text is being styled with
a CSS (which is working fine in every other respect on this text
(font, color, margins, etc.). I have created a custom .class in the
CSS called <bulletText> and have assigned my text the bullet
properties by taggeing those items in the XML with the
<bulletText> tag.
I am guessing one of two problems: (1) I am not using the
right code in the CSS to make text appear with "bullets" or the
TextArea component in Flash will not display CSS formatted XML?
I created the CSS in GoLive CS2 and the Inspector in GoLive
shows the bulleted example text to be correct based on my
formatting of the CSS. Am I missing something?

Hi
You are calling the displayDates() at creationcomplete() of DateChooser. But at that time your xImages(xml) is null because it is not initialized and the HttpServices is not returned the result.
So initialize your xml and call displayDates() after httpservices returns the result.
Hope this helps

How to dynamically display in Image Field with external pic source

Hi Guys,
I have the following scenario:
I need to have a form that needs to display an x amount of images on the same page area. I have not found any documention with regards to creating an undisclosed number of Image Field elements, so I am experimenting with using a Table to display entries of type Image Field.
I do not know at design time which pictures will be shown in this table. This needs to be calculated dynamically when an Incident Number is supplied to the Java WebDynpro application that uses Adobe LiveCycle Designer (Dont worry about this).
Now, first of all: Is it possible to use the URL of images that are OUTSIDE the form structure? In other words, usually one would imbed the image in the forms structure, but because I do not know this image's URL at design time I need to pass it dynamically? Please comment!
Also, what is the FormCalc syntax for accessing a field in the "Data View" view at the left side of the designer? For example, If i want to access the following part in the "Data View"view, what syntax should I be entering in the script editor:
I would like to access this value as I would like to append it to the end of this statement so that I can get the value dynamically:
this.value.#image.href= ???????

You cannot change the url of the image on the fly for security reasons.
In your case you have to use the dynamic image fields in the xdp form, encode the external images with base64 encoding to be a string, populate with those strings the xml and render your template with this xml.
Here: http://eslifeline.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/inserting-image-in-a-xdp/#comments you have a good example by Girish Bedekar for such a process.

Problem loading external XML

URGENT help needed in creating external xml video plalist. Please help!

I was given an assignment to create and external video playlist using an xml file. I have never used flash before, know nothing about encoding and all that was given to the class in terms of instuctions was a short tutorial that has no resources for troubleshooting. We were given everything; the external playlist file equipped with the video skin, the video list, actionscript that loads the xml and the xml file. We were told that all we need to do is change the names of the videos in the xml file to match the names of our videos. I did that. We were also told we needed to "name target", but we were not informed on how to do this. I have tried everything, visited every tutorial and I cannot figure out how to get this damn thing to work. I cannot even get flash to load the xml file. PLEASE HELP.
Here is the xml file:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "i-8859-1"?>
<playlist>
<ADogWithoutABone
flvurl="ADogWithoutABone.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall First Video" />
<Highway
flvurl="Highway.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall Second Video" />
<PsychoBabble
flvurl="PsychoBabble.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall Third Video" />
<SomethingElse
flvurl="SomethingElse.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall Fourth Video" />
</playlist>
I tried putting in the entire address of the file location, but it did nothing.
Here is the actionscript in the flash file:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlistXML.xml"));
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
var playlistXML:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
var item:XML;
for each(item in playlistXML.videoname) {
trace("item: "+item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString());
myPlayList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(), data:item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString()});
//Select the first video
myPlayList.selectedIndex = 0;
//And automatically play it
myPlayScreen.play(myPlayList.selectedItem.data);
//Add a listener to detect when new video is selected and play it
function listListener(event:Event) {
myPlayScreen.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);
myPlayList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);
I tried placing the full address of the xml file in, along with the file address of the videos, but again it did nothing. Everything is located in the same file, and the videos in a sub file in that file. I tried taking out the sub file and putting all the videos in the same file, but it did nothing. I am sure it's something very simple, but like I said I have NO experience with this whatsoever. I am SO lost and DESPERATELY need help. PLEASE someone SAVE MEEEE!
Thanks

It might be a crossdomain.xml problem.
Please make sure that the server hosting the xml allows the domain where the swf is hosted.
You can start with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

Import external xml file in PDF using Livecycle

I require sending some values in main xml file from the external xml file during sending mail on button click. Doing so, I want to read values from external file into a hidden field or send the external xml/text file as an attachment.
1. Is there any feature in live cycle to attach multiple xml/text files in mail using button click?
2. Is there any way to read an external xml file to pre-populate a textbox using javascript?
Kindly help me to find out the solution.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1) You can do this with a script. But this script works only with the Acrobat Pro not with the Adobe Reader!!
2) Sure.
You open your form.
Go to File | Form Properties | Preview | then choose your xml-file
Then you have to got to the textobject | mark this | go to "Object" | "Binding"
Here you can bind the field: $record.PRINTJOB.PMSDATA.ObjectNameXML (You have to adapt this in the path in your XML to the field in the XML)
If you make a preview you will see the value of the XML in your textfield.
You can also script the databinding. You have to go to the initalize.event and write:
this.rawValue = xfa.record.PathToYourFieldInYourXML.ObjectNameXML.value;
Hope it will helps you,
Mandy

Read external XML stream into a field

Hello all -
I have been trying to get this working for a week now and still no luck. It seems like it's possible to find field values to external XML file, but Acrobat tries to parse the XML and be smart about it.
I have a custom form logic that needs to read an XML file from a URL and assign the stream to a form field that can later be accessed via FormField.rawValue.
The XML is rather basic - something like
1
2
3
4
I tried the xfa.connectionSet to no avail. I am now trying to bring in that value with SOAP, but have been reading that it might give prompts in Reader.
Can I simply read an external URL and assign the server response to a variable or a field ?
My apologies for the super-basic question!!
Thanks in advance!

I get the following error, probably means the file referenced is not available...
SQL Error: ORA-22806: not an object or REF
22806. 00000 - "not an object or REF"
*Cause: An attempt was made to extract an attribute from an item that is
neither an object nor a REF.
*Action: Use an object type or REF type item and retry the operation.

Issue with external WSDL in own Outbound interface using SOAP UI

Hello,
this is the issue:
a) Imported an external WSDL to PI as external definition
b) Added external definition to a sync. Service interface
c) Completed configuration and created a WSDL from the sender agreement in Directory (this is PI 7.1)
d) imported the WSDL from c) to soap UI which we are using for testing interfaces
    (already successful with other sync interface where the WSDL from c) contains a message type created in PI
e) testing this interface results in an error:
Error message in MONI:
SAP:Error SOAP:mustUnderstand="1" xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
This is the message as it looks like in soapUI:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:com="http://jusit.hp.com/sys/common/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <props>
         <com:Property>
            <com:PropertyName>A</com:PropertyName>
            <com:PropertyValue>1</com:PropertyValue>
         </com:Property>
      </props>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
This is the payload in MONI as it comes from SOAP UI (using http connection):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<props xmlns:com='http://jusit.hp.com/sys/common/' xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>
         <com:Property>
            <com:PropertyName>A</com:PropertyName>
            <com:PropertyValue>1</com:PropertyValue>
         </com:Property>
      </props>
This is the payload as it looks like in Mapping Test in Enterprise Repos. from implemented ext.def.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:props xmlns:ns0="http://jusit.hp.com/sys/common/">
   <ns0:Property>
      <ns0:PropertyName>A</ns0:PropertyName>
      <ns0:PropertyValue>1</ns0:PropertyValue>
   </ns0:Property>
</ns0:props>
Is there any restriction with external definitions to be used in PI which could be the reason for this strange behaviour?
The implementation contained a message type created in PI earlier which was running successful!
The problem came up with the external definition!
Thank you for your help!
Best regards
Dirk

Hi,
the problem is not the mapping as it is 1:1 with the same message on both sides.
But when I replace the "com"s with "ns0" and "props" with "ns0:props" in the request in soap UI
the payload will be accepted and mapping is successful!
So the issue is about the modification soap UI is doing on the imported WSDL.
a) Generated request in soap UI from imported WSDL: FAILS in PI!!!!
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:com="http://test.ap.com/sys/common/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <props>
         <com:Property>
            <!You may enter the following 2 items in any order>
            <com:PropertyName>?</com:PropertyName>
            <com:PropertyValue>?</com:PropertyValue>
         </com:Property>
      </props>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
b) Modified request in soap UI from imported WSDL: WILL BE PROCESSED IN PI
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns0="http://test.ap.com/sys/common/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns0:props>
         <ns0:Property>
            <!You may enter the following 2 items in any order>
            <ns0:PropertyName>B</ns0:PropertyName>
            <ns0:PropertyValue>5</ns0:PropertyValue>
         </ns0:Property>
      </ns0:props>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
But is there any possibility to avoid this effect in soap UI?
Regards
Dirk
