Flattening XML text

Given the following XML snippet:
<adjustments>
<adjustment>Add <bonus>10</bonus> points
if completion time less than
<completionTime>60</completionTime>
seconds.</adjustment>
<adjustment>Add <bonus>15</bonus> points
if opponent rank is higher than level
<opponentRank>5</opponentRank>.</adjustment>
<adjustment>Add <bonus>5</bonus> points if
the temperature is above <temperature>75</temperature>
degrees Fahrenheit.
</adjustments>
How would I output each adjustment as text like the
following? In other words, how can I "flatten" the XML text?
Add 10 points if completion time less than 60 seconds.
Add 15 points if opponent rank is higher than level 5.
Add 5 points if the temperature is above 75 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Thanks in advance for your help.

adjustments.text() returns an empty string, of course. And
something like adjustments.adjustment[0].text() returns just:
Add points if completion time less than seconds.
It doesn't have the text of of the child nodes.
What I need is the text of a parent node and all of the child
nodes in one string. Even if I iterate over the parent and all the
descendants, I don't see any way of properly placing the text from
the children into the text from the parent.
Any other ideas?

alrighty then try this xml structure.
Note: formatting information like b, or linkage tags should
not be part of the xml.
The XML format is a universal format for data, if you fill it
with style information this is not good practive (in general, there
are of course scenarios where it makes sense, also since (x)html IS
also XML).
In your case you want to put the information about multiple
companies in a xml file, but you let the flash decide how to
display format this information.
so if you use the sugested XMl structure you will have full
control of the layout within flash, because you can grab every
piece of information from the xml and place it jsut where you want
in flash and format it within flash.
Of course this process is more coding work than your previous
attempt, but it pays of when you have a lot of data to process and
when you want to have full control of the final layout.
But maybe its overkill for your application (I don't know how
many companies will be stored in your xml and how complex the rest
of the app is).

Need help with XML text

I'm trying to load in XML text. I'm looking for an efficient
method of doing so.
Ideally, I'd like the text to fade in and out with the image.
Maybe adding a subtle animation/movement to the text box would be
nice. Perhaps a MC that plays intervals of movement with a dynamic
text box... i just don't know how to do it.

Hi,
Use {code} tags to post formatted code on the forum.
That way, your code will be more readable for everyone, and more importantly here, everyone will be able to clearly see what's bothering you :
'sThe single quote was encoded with the character entity reference "&apos;".
The conversion is not mandatory but it happens Oracle is doing it in this case.
It shouldn't be a problem though.
If you want to extract the value afterwards, it'll come as expected :
SQL> create table ftr_ctl (id number, doc xmltype);
Table created
SQL> insert into ftr_ctl values (1,

Save an Image object into a XML text document

ello:
I have a problem with saving an image. I need to encapsulate it into two XML tags:
<Image> xxxxxx </Image>
The "xxxx" must be a String that represents my Image object.
In J2ME I haven't serialization, and all the examples about "manual serialization" works with primitive types :(
I've already read that I can do .getRGB() over my Image object, and obtain an array of int, wich represent each pixel. Ok, I can transform the array into a String, and write it in my XML text document, but later: how I obtain my array from that String?
Thak you very much

private Image img;
byte rgb[] = null;
private rgbLength; // get lenth of your string
rgb = new byte(rgbLength);
rgb = ... //load data from string to this array
img = createRGBImage(rgb, int width, int height, false) ;You must know length of your string and must encapsulate in to XML width and height of this image;

Loading an image in an XML text file

I've gotten the DateChooser component to work very well
loading dynamic text fields with data from an external XML file.
Can I embed a jpeg into the XML text like I would with the
<img> tag in an HTML text file?
Many thanks in advance for any tips...
George

I assume your XML looks something like this...
<event date='11/11/1111'>
<PerformerName>SomeInfoHere</PerformerName>
</event>
You could add the image info anywhere you want in the XML.
Perhaps an attribute of the PerformerName tag?
<PerformerName
image='myImage.jpg'>SomeInfoHere</PerformerName>
or
<PerformerName image='
http://www.myDomain.com/images/myImage.jpg'>SomeInfoHere</PerformerName>
When you parse the XML data and build your Array, then you
just need to capture the additional tag attribute. Similar to how
you got the date attribute.
Then at that point you would add it into the textField of
your info_txt.
Read this page in the docs to see how to add the image.

How to avoid empty elements in generated xml text

I am using XMLBeans to generate xml.
If I set text value for a tag then it displaying like
<param name="org">Satyam</param>
If I set empty text value for the same tag it generateing xml text like
<param name="org"/>
But I don't need empty elements in generated xml like this way. Even though I set empty text to a tag it has to display like
<param name="org"></param>
How can I do this one.
Message was edited by Mouli at Dec 14, 2004 2:55 AM

Hi,
by the book these two representations are identical
<.... />
<....></....>
as for the XML-parser.
What problem are you facing with the <... /> representation?
I will try to investigate a bit to see if the XMLBean can be forced to write the <....></....> representation.

Textbox shows xml text in working file but now when loaded into another SWF

Hi all,
I have downloaded an xml gallery (as2) as we needed one for an old as2 file. Now I mostly use as3 but thought as I only needed to tweak it there would be no probs. Of course, it rarely works out that way. The problem is, text loaded from the xml file is displayed with its corresponding image. This works fine in the file. When I load the SWF into another SWF however, it all works EXCEPT the text doesn't show at all?? Whoever made the gallery used 'device fonts' in the textbox, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I tried changing the textbox to dynamic and embedding characters but still nothing.
This seems the key line -
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number];
I have also tried
_root.descmc.desc.htmlText = XMLdaten[number].firstChild;
This traces out the correct xml data when tested so it is finding it okay.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The problem might be in the use of the "_root" You probably need to set _lockroot = true; in the loaded swf, otherwise the _root is that of the loading swf, not the loaded one.

Facelets - any ideas on how to output XML (text/xml)?

Hello there,
Instead of putting out an xhtml file I plainly wish to output an XML file.
First of all, is it possible or even necessary to develop a special extension aside from the .xhtml for these types of files. If so then is there a common standard being used such as *.xxml or should I just make something up.
Secondly, I simply want my client to receive the page with the content-type header of "text/xml".
Please keep in mind, I'm looking for a very simple example or suggestion(s)/references.
thanks in advance.

According to the latter there is an answer in the Facelets FAQ:
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/FaceletsFAQ#How_do_I_change_the_response_con
And according to the file extension question, I don't think there is any standard, why don't you use .xml extension?

Xml text in a dreamweaver doc?

hi
is there a way of linking an xml document to a html doc.
so the user only has to update the xml doc to update the text within the web page?
any tutorials anywhere?
cheers guys

Yes, but if I am understanding you correctly, this really is not the best use for XML. XML stores data like a database but in a flat file that allows for dynamic manipulation of data (ie: see Spry data sets - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/ - examples under first tab). If you are looking to have users edit long text, it would be easier and more productive to use a database such as mySQL or MS SQL. Also with using a database you can provide an interface to make editing easier whereas XML documents are all ugly code and if one thing is mistyped it can cause a headache for you and your customer.

Changing a PDF with a text box, and then flatten the text box onto the underlying PDF before sending the document out.

I download PDF documents from municipalities, often and from numerous municipalities.
They have a scanned image of a form that I need to fill out,
I enter my contact info as a text box onto the form, along with other information,
but when I save the document, there seems no way to flatten the fields so that the person I send the document to has a true PDF and cannot change the document.
They could delete one of the text boxes or change the text in the box (by mistake),
which could case some major complications.
How do I flatten the document, so I can send it back to the municipalities as a PDF that cannot be changed.
I am using Acrobat X Pro, on windows XP machine

I doubt you could fix this. Generally a "garbled" file is considered unusable for copying, and that's that. If a PDF uses random mappings instead of standard ones it looks fine on screen, but text extraction is impossible.
Short of converting every page to bitmap and OCRing again.

XML text rendered as HTML

Hi there folks.
I've used, for the first time, the htmlText method to render the text in my textfields as html text that is provided by a xml. So in the xml i introduce the html tags.
Don't have experince with this so i'm asking you how can i do it properly?
Every time i use a tag except i get another extraline. For instance:
"This is my text. Starting with a boldy little line."
And i get this:
"This is my text.
Starting
with a boldy little line."
Why is this happening and how can i avoid that?
Thank you.

use the cdata node to load text without parsing.

Scrollbar for XML text area

HI,
A newbie here and on Flash,
Sorry for my poor englih too, I'm French.
My pb :
I the attach file you will find forfaits.fla which is connected to xml/forfaits.xml. The pb is the UI Component SROLL BAR for the textarea for the img description doesn't work .
Can you help me?
Thx a lot

I think you should connect it to a text area.
Just create a multiline dynamic text area, connect the text area to the xml file and use the toXMLString();
for example: myTxt.text = myXML.toXMLString();
and then attach the scroll bar to the dynamic multiline text area.
hope it helped

Externalized .xml text in SWF?

Hi
I have created a flash presentation (pretty simple), with action script that calls in the text from an XML file. This allows text edits (or translation) to occure outside of the flash environment. We simply translate the .xml file, the updated or translated text automatically populates when the .swf file is opened. This is great! However the .xml file must remain in the same file system directory as the .swf file or there will be no text when the .swf is opened. Generally this would not be a problem. But we would like to have the .swf file uploaded to the website as a standalone piece. Does anyone know how to keep the externalized text but somehow keep the .xml file as part of the .swf packedge?
Thanks

Well I understand you probably just want to somehow publish them together but you cant. What I don't understand is why can't you just upload the xml to the same folder as the swf on the server? Just have them located together anywhere and however your presenting them, have the user pull up the swf. Just link that to them. They don't have to open the xml or even see it at all. They definitely can't edit it, it's on your server. The only other way is to hardcode the xml instead of externally linking them like kglad mentioned. If your not getting the answer you want, then it just depends on how your presenting this to them. Do you have hosting and server space or are you trying to upload the swf on some random website. If you have server space, upload them together. and if you just don't want to upload two files, FTP it instead of their the hosts filemanager. Anyway, good luck
