Loading data from xml file - please help

Hi, I am new to attempting to get data from an xml file load
in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work
fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine.
But then when trying to implement this into my news section it
doesn't seem to work.
I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date
and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried
putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.thedate =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.thenews =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
date_txt.text = _root.thedate;
news_txt.text = _root.thenews;
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("news.xml");
This is what I have in the xml document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<news>
<article>
<date>date</date>
<news>newentry.</news>
</article>
<article>
<date>Doug Engelbart</date>
<news>Invented the mouse at the Stanford Research
Institute</news>
</article>
</news>
Does anyone perhaps have any ideas of what the problem could
be?
Help much appreciated.

Hi
_root refers to the Main Timeline, if your date_txt and
news_txt are in a movieclip ie: news_mc
then your path should read _root.news_mc.date_txt.text and
_root.news_mc.news_txt.text
You will also need to embed the characters you wish to use
inside your dymanic text for it to show.
Hope it helps

  • Load data from XML files into BI

    Hi James,
    I have followed upto step No: 12 .
    Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
    I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
    Thanks In Advance

    1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
    2. Activate the transfer rules.
    3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
    4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
    5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
    6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
    7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
    8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
    9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
    10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
    11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
    12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
    13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

  • Loading data from multiple files to multiple tables

    How should I approach on creating SSIS package to load data from multiple files to multiple tables. Also, Files will have data which might overlap so I might have to create stored procedure for it. Ex. 1st day file -data from au.1 - aug 10 and 2nd day
    file might have data from aug.5 to aug 15.  So I might have to look for max and min date and truncate table with in that date range.

    thats ok. ForEachLoop would be able to iterate through the files. You can declare a variable inside loop to capture the filenames. Choose fully qualified as the option in loop
    Then inside loop
    1. Add execute sql task to delete overlapping data from the table. One question here is where will you get date from? Does it come inside filename?
    2. Add a data flow task with file source pointing to file .For this add a suitable connection manager (Excel/Flat file etc) and map the connection string property to filename variable using expressions
    3. Add a OLEDB Destination to point to table. You can use table or view from variable - fast load option and map to variable to make tablename dynamic and just set corresponding value for the variable to get correct tablename

  • Loading data from a file?

    hi, could anyone please help me with this:
    in a small application involving a Company with Programmers as its employees, i am supposed to add a functionality to Load data from a file. i have alomost done it using fileTextReader(); the only problem now is for some reason even though my file contains data of only one programmer, but the system is adding two programmer, one of them with null values. similarly if i supply details of 4 programmer in the file, 5 will get added, one of them with nulls.
    i have checked my addEmployee method which is fine. i have checked it by giving data using command promp, it works fine this way. here is the code i am using for method: loadFromtheFile(); (could anyone find the reason!!)
    // Get the file name from the user.
    ConsoleIO.out.print("\t" + "Enter the file name >>> ");
    String fileName = ConsoleIO.in.readString();
    // Initialise the SoftwareHouse from the file
    try {
    // Open the file
    FileTextReader inputFile = new FileTextReader( fileName );
    while( inputFile.isEOF() == false ) {
    // Get the data from the file
    String name = inputFile.readLine();
    int payno = inputFile.readInt();
    int salary = inputFile.readInt();
    int year = inputFile.readInt();
    String language = inputFile.readLine();
    // Add an employee to the SoftwareHouse.
    theCompany.addEmployee( new Programmer(payno, salary, name, year, language) );
    // Display the outcome
    ConsoleIO.out.println( "\n\t" + theCompany.getStatus() );
    catch (IOException exception) {
    ConsoleIO.out.println("\n\t" + "Cannot open " + fileName);
    }

    i have done that and it works if only one programmer data is given in the file.....as soon as i would give data for 2 or more programmers it will assign wrong values to the wrong attributes. could u have a look if this is what u suggested me:
    // Get the file name from the user.
    ConsoleIO.out.print("\t" + "Enter the file name >>> ");
    String fileName = ConsoleIO.in.readString();
    // Initialise the SoftwareHouse from the file
    try {
    // Open the file
    FileTextReader inputFile = new FileTextReader( fileName );
    while( inputFile.isEOF() == false ) {
    // Get the data from the file
    String name = inputFile.readLine();
    int payno = inputFile.readInt();
    int salary = inputFile.readInt();
    String language = inputFile.readLine();
    int year = inputFile.readInt();
    // Add an employee to the SoftwareHouse.
    theCompany.addEmployee( new Programmer(payno, salary, name, year, language) );
    // Display the outcome
    ConsoleIO.out.println( "\n\t" + theCompany.getStatus() );
    if(inputFile.readLine() == null){
    break;
    catch (IOException exception) {
    ConsoleIO.out.println("\n\t" + "Cannot open " + fileName);

  • Storing data from XML files in Oracle DB

    Hi!
    I just started to work with XML and need to save data from XML files into Oracle database. I tried to run sample from Oracle web site. The code was following:
    public class xmlwritedb
    public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException
    String tabName = "EMP"; // Table into which to insert XML data
    String fileName = "emp.xml"; // XML document filename
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
    // Initialize a JDBC connection
    Connection conn =
    DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:scott/tiger@");
    // Insert XML data from file (filename) into

    OracleXMLSave save = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tabName);
    URL url = save.createURL(fileName);
    int rowCount = save.insertXML(url);
    System.out.println(" successfully inserted "+rowCount+
    " rows into "+ tabName);
    conn.close();
    But it does not work.
    OracleXMLSave object does not see file name.
    Please, help me solve this problem. Also,where is it possible to find any documentation on oracle.xml.* classes API.

  • Loading Data From .CSV files

    Hi Gurus,
    I m new to BW
    Can u please help me out solving the below problem
    When i was trying to load data from a flat file (.CSV), which is like this
    Cust no, Cust name, Cust address
    cust001,coca cola, Inc., 17 north road, Hyderabad - 35
    infoObjects are
    ZS_CUST,ZS_CUSTNM,ZS_CUSTAD
    I am getting the first three values, into my attribute table, those seperated by commas
    i.e  cust001, coca cola  and  Inc into three fields in the attribute table (and PSA).
    Now my piont is with out replacing the seperator ',' to any thing else
    (If we have millions of records in the file and assuming that it will be a time consuming process to change ',' to some other seperator) can we extract the complete data into the fields in attribute table respectively.
    Thanks
    Suri

    Surender,
    Once you specify in BW "," as the field separator, it will be interpreted as such. Of course, "Coca Cola, Inc" will be interpreted and loaded as two separate fields.
    "Data should be fixed in the source, whenever is possible". That's a phrase you'll hear a lot when dealing with BW, especially when loading data from flat files.
    Good luck.
    Regards,
    Luis

  • Loading data from .csv file into existing table

    Hi,
    I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
    I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
    timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
    The csv columns are :
    project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
    What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
    Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Anjali

    Hi Anjali,
    Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
    File Browse, File Upload
    Loading CSV file using external table
    Loading a CSV file into a table
    you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
    Hope this helps,

  • Loading data from flat file...

    Hello,
    I am actually experiencing a problem where I cant load data from a flat file into a table. I have actually reverse engineered the flat file into ODI. But the thing is I don't know how to load the data that is reversed into a RDBMS table. Added, I don't know how create this RDBMS table form within ODI to be reflected on the DB. Added, don't know how to load the data from the flat file onto this table without having to add the columns in order to map between the flat file and the table.
    In conclusion, I need to know how to create an RDBMS table from within ODI on the database. And how to automatically map the flat file to the DB table and load the data into the DB table.
    Regards,
    Hossam

    Hi Hossam,
    We can used ODI procedure to create table in the DB.
    Make sure you keep the column name in the table name same as the column name in FLAT FILE so that it can automatically map the column.
    and regarding Loading data from FLAT File i.e. our source table is FLAT FILE till ODI 10.1.3.4 we need to manually insert the datastore since the file system cannot be reversed.
    Please let me know Hossam if i can assis you further.
    Thanks and Regards,
