Need help with loading XML file

Hello,
I have been browsing the web/forums for an example on how to do this for a few days now. I managed to get this working in Flash Pro quite easily but I think I am missing something when I want to do the same thing in Flex.
Basically I want to load an XML file and then set the text values of 5 labels equal to the data in the XML file.
So I a button created in MXML and have set the click event as follows:
 click="dsSetup(event)"
I have also declared the following:
 public var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("assets/myFile.xml"); //folder located under src in project
 public var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
 public var myXML:XML;
My function that loads is as follows:
public function dsSetup(event:MouseEvent):void
 trace ("dsSetup");
 myXML = new XML (myLoader.data);
 h3.text = myXML.source.itemA;
 h4.text = myXML.source.itemB;
 h5.text = myXML.source.itemC;
 h7.text = myXML.source.itemD;
 h8.text = myXML.source.itemE;
 currentState = 'MainMenu';
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dsSetup); // I think this line is now redundant as I have set it in the MXML
myLoader.load(myRequest);
This is the way I did it in Flash and it worked ok but I must be missing something in when it comes to Flex.
Can someone explain or point me to a good tutorial that shows how to load XML in Flex?
The ones I found seem to have about 50 lines of code just to load a file and add in way to much complexity for a beginner.
Many Thanks

I would suggest to save the loaded data in a Bindable variable and then to bind the text-properties to that:
[Bindable]
var myXML:XML;
public function dsSetup(event:MouseEvent):void
 myXML = new XML (myLoader.data);
 currentState = 'MainMenu';
<s:Label text="{myXML.source.itemA}"/>

Need help with table, xml files, click actions and visibility

Hi.
I am new to adobe livecycle and I need some guidance in a problem that I am facing.
I have an XML. The main tag 'employee' has 4 tags in it, name, age, ph# and address.
Address tag has 6 more tags in it.
I have to create a table which has 4 columns initially (all text fields). The rows are populated acccording to the XML.
1. S. No., which increments according to row number.
2. Name from XML.
3. Age from XML.
4. ph# from XML.
When any S. No. is clicked on, it should display the address details below that row, when it is clicked on again, it should hide those details and the original table view should be restored.
I googled a lot but am still not able to get how to do this.
Please help.

I created a sample for you with what I think you want. Here is a file and the associated XML that goes with it.

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

Begging for help with podcast xml file

Hey All,
I have a podcast on iTunes. I am hosting the xml file and podcast mp3s on a friends server so Im not using any service. Everything is working and Ive sucessfully added 4 podcasts so far, and it shows up correctly in iTunes on my PC.
However my podcasts do not showup correct in the iTunes store website, or on idevices. Meaning, I number my shows 001_"NAME" 002_"NAME" etc. Yet in the iTunes store they show up out of order. So my last show is not at the top its at the bottom, and they are all mixed up (like 002, 001, 004, 003 instead of 4,3,2,1) Also the publish date is the same on two of them (and not what i have in the xml file) and doesnt show up at all on the other two. I assume this is a problem with the xml file, yet I dont see any problems with it. But it seems odd that it all works correctly in the actual iTunes program. Ive tried different code, but im very much a noob at it, and everything i find online is from 5 - 10 years ago or wants you to host your podcasts with their site and I dont need that.
Here is the link to the show on the iTunes website so you can see what i mean: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/your-reality-recap/id501295325
If anybody can, would you mind checking out the code in my xml file and letting me know if you see anything thats causing this issue?
I zipped the xml file and put it here: http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YRR.zip
I would be truly greatfuly for any help with this. Ive been trying to fix this for days and dont know what else to do.
Thanks!
Eric

Your feed is at http://www.ericcurto.com/podcast/YourRealityRecap.xml (please always post the feed URL, not its contents or a copy).
I don't see the issues you mention. The order in the Store and when subscribing is what I would expect:
The order in the Store depends on clicking the header to the column: the default is the first one. Some of the dates are a day out - this is quite commmon and is probably a time zone issue (it may be different where you are - I'm in the UK). I don't know why you are seeing a garbled order unless you've clicked on one of the other columns in the Store.

Need help with Berkeley XML DB Performance

We need help with maximizing performance of our use of Berkeley XML DB. I am filling most of the 29 part question as listed by Oracle's BDB team.
Berkeley DB XML Performance Questionnaire
1. Describe the Performance area that you are measuring? What is the
current performance? What are your performance goals you hope to
achieve?
We are measuring the performance while loading a document during
web application startup. It is currently taking 10-12 seconds when
only one user is on the system. We are trying to do some testing to
get the load time when several users are on the system.
We would like the load time to be 5 seconds or less.
2. What Berkeley DB XML Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please specify?
dbxml 2.4.13. No special patches.
3. What Berkeley DB Version? Any optional configuration flags
specified? Are you running with any special patches? Please Specify.
bdb 4.6.21. No special patches.
4. Processor name, speed and chipset?
Intel Xeon CPU 5150 2.66GHz
5. Operating System and Version?

7. File System Type? (such as EXT2, NTFS, Reiser)
EXT3
8. Physical Memory Available?
4GB
9. Are you using Replication (HA) with Berkeley DB XML? If so, please
describe the network you are using, and the number of Replica’s.
No
10. Are you using a Remote Filesystem (NFS) ? If so, for which
Berkeley DB XML/DB files?
No
11. What type of mutexes do you have configured? Did you specify
–with-mutex=? Specify what you find inn your config.log, search
for db_cv_mutex?
None. Did not specify -with-mutex during bdb compilation
12. Which API are you using (C++, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, other) ?
Which compiler and version?
Java 1.5
13. If you are using an Application Server or Web Server, please
provide the name and version?
Oracle Appication Server 10.1.3.4.0
14. Please provide your exact Environment Configuration Flags (include
anything specified in you DB_CONFIG file)
Default.
15. Please provide your Container Configuration Flags?
final EnvironmentConfig envConf = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConf.setAllowCreate(true); // If the environment does not
// exist, create it.
envConf.setInitializeCache(true); // Turn on the shared memory
// region.
envConf.setInitializeLocking(true); // Turn on the locking subsystem.
envConf.setInitializeLogging(true); // Turn on the logging subsystem.
envConf.setTransactional(true); // Turn on the transactional
// subsystem.
envConf.setLockDetectMode(LockDetectMode.MINWRITE);
envConf.setThreaded(true);
envConf.setErrorStream(System.err);
envConf.setCacheSize(1024*1024*64);
envConf.setMaxLockers(2000);
envConf.setMaxLocks(2000);
envConf.setMaxLockObjects(2000);
envConf.setTxnMaxActive(200);
envConf.setTxnWriteNoSync(true);
envConf.setMaxMutexes(40000);
16. How many XML Containers do you have? For each one please specify:
One.
1. The Container Configuration Flags
          XmlContainerConfig xmlContainerConfig = new XmlContainerConfig();
          xmlContainerConfig.setTransactional(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setIndexNodes(true);
xmlContainerConfig.setReadUncommitted(true);
2. How many documents?
Everytime the user logs in, the current xml document is loaded from
a oracle database table and put it in the Berkeley XML DB.
The documents get deleted from XML DB when the Oracle application
server container is stopped.
The number of documents should start with zero initially and it
will grow with every login.
3. What type (node or wholedoc)?
Node
4. Please indicate the minimum, maximum and average size of
documents?
The minimum is about 2MB and the maximum could 20MB. The average
mostly about 5MB.
5. Are you using document data? If so please describe how?
We are using document data only to save changes made
to the application data in a web application. The final save goes
to the relational database. Berkeley XML DB is just used to store
temporary data since going to the relational database for each change
will cause severe performance issues.
17. Please describe the shape of one of your typical documents? Please
do this by sending us a skeleton XML document.
Due to the sensitive nature of the data, I can provide XML schema instead.
18. What is the rate of document insertion/update required or
expected? Are you doing partial node updates (via XmlModify) or
replacing the document?
The document is inserted during user login. Any change made to the application
data grid or other data components gets saved in Berkeley DB. We also have
an automatic save every two minutes. The final save from the application
gets saved in a relational database.
19. What is the query rate required/expected?
Users will not be entering data rapidly. There will be lot of think time
before the users enter/modify data in the web application. This is a pilot
project but when we go live with this application, we will expect 25 users
at the same time.
20. XQuery -- supply some sample queries
1. Please provide the Query Plan
2. Are you using DBXML_INDEX_NODES?
Yes.
3. Display the indices you have defined for the specific query.
     XmlIndexSpecification spec = container.getIndexSpecification();
     // ids
     spec.addIndex("", "id", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     spec.addIndex("", "idref", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // index to cover AttributeValue/Description
     spec.addIndex("", "Description", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_SUBSTRING, XmlValue.STRING);
     // cover AttributeValue/@value
     spec.addIndex("", "value", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // item attribute values
     spec.addIndex("", "type", XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_EDGE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // default index
     spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ELEMENT | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     spec.addDefaultIndex(XmlIndexSpecification.PATH_NODE | XmlIndexSpecification.NODE_ATTRIBUTE | XmlIndexSpecification.KEY_EQUALITY, XmlValue.STRING);
     // save the spec to the container
     XmlUpdateContext uc = xmlManager.createUpdateContext();
     container.setIndexSpecification(spec, uc);
4. If this is a large query, please consider sending a smaller
query (and query plan) that demonstrates the problem.
21. Are you running with Transactions? If so please provide any
transactions flags you specify with any API calls.
Yes. READ_UNCOMMITED in some and READ_COMMITTED in other transactions.
22. If your application is transactional, are your log files stored on
the same disk as your containers/databases?
Yes.
23. Do you use AUTO_COMMIT?
     No.
24. Please list any non-transactional operations performed?
No.
25. How many threads of control are running? How many threads in read
only mode? How many threads are updating?
We use Berkeley XML DB within the context of a struts web application.
Each user logged into the web application will be running a bdb transactoin
within the context of a struts action thread.
26. Please include a paragraph describing the performance measurements
you have made. Please specifically list any Berkeley DB operations
where the performance is currently insufficient.
We are clocking 10-12 seconds of loading a document from dbd when
five users are on the system.
getContainer().getDocument(documentName);
27. What performance level do you hope to achieve?
We would like to get less than 5 seconds when 25 users are on the system.
28. Please send us the output of the following db_stat utility commands
after your application has been running under "normal" load for some
period of time:
% db_stat -h database environment -c
% db_stat -h database environment -l
% db_stat -h database environment -m
% db_stat -h database environment -r
% db_stat -h database environment -t
(These commands require the db_stat utility access a shared database
environment. If your application has a private environment, please
remove the DB_PRIVATE flag used when the environment is created, so
you can obtain these measurements. If removing the DB_PRIVATE flag
is not possible, let us know and we can discuss alternatives with
you.)
If your application has periods of "good" and "bad" performance,
please run the above list of commands several times, during both
good and bad periods, and additionally specify the -Z flags (so
the output of each command isn't cumulative).
When possible, please run basic system performance reporting tools
during the time you are measuring the application's performance.
For example, on UNIX systems, the vmstat and iostat utilities are
good choices.
Will give this information soon.
29. Are there any other significant applications running on this
system? Are you using Berkeley DB outside of Berkeley DB XML?
Please describe the application?
No to the first two questions.
The web application is an online review of test questions. The users
login and then review the items one by one. The relational database
holds the data in xml. During application load, the application
retrieves the xml and then saves it to bdb. While the user
is making changes to the data in the application, it writes those
changes to bdb. Finally when the user hits the SAVE button, the data
gets saved to the relational database. We also have an automatic save
every two minues, which saves bdb xml data and saves it to relational
database.
Thanks,
Madhav

Could it be that you simply do not have set up indexes to support your query? If so, you could do some basic testing using the dbxml shell:
milu@colinux:~/xpg > dbxml -h ~/dbenv
Joined existing environment
dbxml> setverbose 7 2
dbxml> open tv.dbxml
dbxml> listIndexes
dbxml> query     { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }
dbxml> queryplan { collection()[//@date-tip]/*[@chID = ('ard','zdf')] (: example :) }Verbosity will make the engine display some (rather cryptic) information on index usage. I can't remember where the output is explained; my feeling is that "V(...)" means the index is being used (which is good), but that observation may not be accurate. Note that some details in the setVerbose command could differ, as I'm using 2.4.16 while you're using 2.4.13.
Also, take a look at the query plan. You can post it here and some people will be able to diagnose it.

[Need help with a swf file]

Hello,
I need help with a flash demo that I am creating. I have a
main swf file that contains links to other sub swfs that I have
created. What I really want this to do is... when I click on one of
the link on the browser, the other swf have to load in the window.
I tried to code it with .loadMovie,.... but for some weird reason,
it is not showing up.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks

you might have a security violation and you do have a
load-target issue. remove that "_parent": there's no 2nd parameter
in the loadMovie() method.
if you want to replace the main swf with that url, loading
into _root is fine. otherwise, you want to use a different
target.

Need help with .cr2 RAW-files

Hi,
I've installed Aperture 2.1.2, and the newest RAW compability update (2.5).
However, when I try to work with RAW files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera (nothing big, I know), all I see is "Unsupported image format".
I really need help with this quick. The RAW files are in .cr2 format.

as a last resort ...
this is the update that added support for 1000d ... however the 3 releases post this should have it too ...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/digitalcameraraw compatibilityupdate22.html
but you can roll back your raw compatibility and see if that works ... then progressively go forward to current and see if/where the problem lies ...
you could try a re-install of 2.5 ...

Need help with reading XML using File Adapter

Thanks for your response.
I am not sure if there is any easier way, but I tried out the following tool available on the net to check an xml against a xsd:
http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate/
There were a few issues, that I corrected and finally had a xsd and xml that were matching and valid. I tried this out in my file reading BPEL process, but the error still remained the same!
Here is my updated/simplified xsd and xml:

I even tried the option that is available in JDeveloper to generate a sample xml from a xsd (when in the context of a Transformation activity). The xml generated by this also seems exactly like the one above.
So, I am not able to figure out why my BPEL process errors out with the message Invalid xml document.

Need help with this xml gallery !!!

i have build a gallery but its very simple...... it takes images from xml file.
i have attached all files in zip.
i just want two things if anyone can help.
first when i press next button it goes to next image but with no effect. it just displays next image ... i want to incorporate a sliding effect when the image is changed to another.
and second i want to use autoplay feature.
as soon as swf starts the images came one by one with difference of few seconds.
thx in advance... i really need help in this....!

You're welcome.
I don't have an example to offer for the autorun. You should be able to think it thru. One key, as I mentioned is to preload all of the images first, that will allow for smooth playing of the show--no waiting for images to load between changes. You can load them into empty movieclips and hide them (_viisible = false) until they are needed. You could load them when called for, but you would have to put conditions on the displaying of things until the image loads, which will change when they are all loaded, so I recommend just loading them all first.
For the timing you can use setInterval. If something is going to be allowed to interupt the autorun, then you will need to make use of the clearInterval function as well, so that you stop the clock.
Since you will be wanting to know when things are loaded, you will need to use the MovieClipLoader.loadClip method for loading the images instead of using loadMovie. This is because the MovieClipLoader class supports having an event listener. If you look in the help documents in the MovieClipLoader.addListener section, there is an example there that provides a fairly good complete overview of using the code. The only difference is you'd be looking for the onLoadComplete event rather than the onLoadInit event.

Need help with simple XML validation

I am new to Spry and need some help creating a simple
validation. There is a form field which must not contain a value
already in the database. I have a script which accepts a parameter
and returns a boolean result. Here is the XML:
<samples>
<sample>
<ISFOUND>0</ISFOUND>
</sample>
</samples>
1. How do I call this script when the form field changes and
pass the form value as the parameter?
2. How do I check the returned value in the XML and throw an
error if true?
I appreciate any help with this. Please let me know if there
is a better way to achieve the same result.
Thanks,
Rich

I enabled the call to the XML response. However, I am having
trouble identifying when the call is complete so I can parse the
result. How do I run my check after the data load and display the

I need help with a backup file that was deleted and now undeleted from my hard drive

Last month (May 6, 2011), I was updating my iPod Touch 4G with the new software that came out. I always make a backup of my iPod's data before I update it. While my iPod was updating I left my iPod and computer alone and was doing things around the house with my mom. And when I was done I went in my room to see if it was done and my computer decides that it was going to freeze and crash on me (with my iPod plugged in and stuck on the updating or verifying software mode.) I managed to get my iPod back to working condition again but losing everything on my iPod. I formatted my computer hard drive but I managed to get back the backup I lost. I need help on getting the backup into iTunes so I can get my data back. I am not Jailbroken and I plan not to Jailbreak. I however saved the backup file in a folder other than the Mobilesync folder. I am also running on Windows XP. Someone please help me and thank you in advance!

I was able to backup my iPod and I tried to restore my iPod again and it goes through the process and everything but it restores the temporary data that I had on there. It didn't restore application data or the current photos and videos that I had saved in Camera Roll before this all had happened. It is almost like it goes back to factory settings but I have some photos that were saved on the other backup that I was temporarily running on. The backup that I am looking to restore is the only backup file in the Mobilesync folder as of right now the others are saved somewhere safe for right now. Why doesn't it restore my application data or my Camera Roll pictures and videos that I saved before my computer crashed last month? Can this problem be fixed?

Need help on parsing xml file...

Hi all,
I need to collect some data from an Xml file using java. I have the following code with me but I am unable to get the required result. I am unable to get the data from the tags belonging to the header and footer elements. Please find the code and the sample xml file below.

1. your code does not compile (in your main method you try to create an instance of a class which does not exist).
2. your XML document is not well formed.
+[Fatal Error] test.xml:34:74: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.+
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
Maybe there are other problems but you can start by fixing these.
