Update XML files with Flash

Hi,
I would like to know if its possible to insert or update
existing data of a XML file with flash?
And how can I do it?

This code have two procedures or functions the createXML is
called first this one asks for the variable send using get called
fileName (Append this variable to the page request). The function
called writeToFile opens the file and writes to it.
Form flash you need to create the xmlfile and call the
sendAndLoad method.

Update XML files with a PHP form...

Hi,
I would like to know if its possible to update or insert data
to XML files from a PHP form? And how can I do it? Basically i want
to create a backoffice for my XML Flash slide show.
Can anyone help me?

Indirectly, I suppose. In that you'd have to handcode
verything. There's
nothing built-in to DW to accomplish this task. The simplest
way of doing it
is to use the FSO to write out the XML to an XML file.

It seems you are asking in wrong forum. AFAIK, you are asking "how to add HTTP header to response generated by my own script". It depend on WWW server we are speaking of and language of script itself. If you will fail to found solution within documentation of the HTTP server and/or scripting language you are using, then the better place for your question is a forum related to such language and HTTP server.
In meantime, you can try other solituin. The "Refresh: 0;..." header is required for correct function of SoftKey:Next which is displayed by default. But you can redefine the content of SoftKey area using your own key. Such configuration is part of DirectoryObject you sent to phone. See definition of SoftKey 3 in example bottom. It's not original SoftKey:Next that depend on Refresh header. It's my own custom soft-key named "Next" with exact URL defined as part of key definition (replace 'N' with number of next page). It doesn't depend on Refresh header in any way. You should consider such advice as "temporary workaround". You should discover how to send HTTP header 'Refresh' from your script. Note, it's not possible to redefine one SoftKey only. If you wish to redefine a soft-key, then all soft-keys need's to be defined by you.

How to update XML file using XSLT

Hi there,
I have a "small" issue with exporting data to an XML file using XSLT.
A two steps process is needed to import data from a non-hierarchical XML file into ABAP, change the data, and then update the XML file with new values. The problem is not trivial, since the format of the XML file is a complex one: there are many interdependent elements on the same level, pointing to each other by using id and ref attributes. Based on these values the data can be read and written into an internal table. I use XSLT and XPath for that. So the inbound process is done and seems to work correctly. I have to mention that the file contains much more data than I need. I am working only with a small part of it.
Now the changed data must be exported back into the XML file, meaning that the content of certain elements must be updated. How can this be done with XSLT? I can pass only the internal table to the transformation, so how do I access the XML file in order to update it? I have tried to use the <B>xsl:document()</B> function to access the content of the file store locally on my PC, but it fails each time by throwing and URI exception. I have tried the absolute path without any addition and the path with the file:/// addition. Same result. Please advise.
Many thanks,
Ferenc
P.S. Please provide me with links only if they are relevant for this very matter. I will not give points for irrelevant postings...

Now the changed data must be exported back into the XML file, meaning that the content of certain elements must be updated. How can this be done with XSLT?
XSLT approach: check these online tutorial
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/08/02/xslt/index.html
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/06/07/transforming/index.html
ABAP approach:
for example you have the xml (original) in a string called say xml_out .
data: l_xml type ref to cl_xml_document ,
        node type ref to if_ixml_node .
create object l_xml.
call method l_xml->parse_string
exporting
    stream = xml_out.
node = l_xml->find_node(
    name   = 'IDENTITY'
   ROOT   = ROOT
l_xml->set_attribute(
    name    = 'Name'
    value   = 'Charles'
    node    = node
(the above example reads the element IDENTITY and sets attribute name/value to the same)
like wise you can add new elements starting from IDENTITY using various methods available in class CL_XML_DOCUMENT
so how do I access the XML file in order to update it?
you have already read this XML into a ABAP variable right?
Sorry couldnt understand your whole process, why do you need to read local XML file?

Editing a XML file with PHP and HTML or AS2

Hi webmates...
I have been looking for a good tutorial on managing an XML
file through Flash (AS2) or HTML and PHP... but all of what I have
found at the moment are very confusing and incomplete... the
examples actually do not work ok...
Would anyone mind on addressing me any good place where I can
find nice tutorials for this ? perhaps any example ? I wil really
appreciate it, My web is already reading the XML file to load
data... but I also need to create an application for editing this
XML... thanx in advance...

I have no experience with any decompilers beyond possibly attempting to trial one once. The only one I have seen recommended is made by Sothink.
Here is a link to a page with a tool that has an interface you can use to determine various properties of an swf file, including the Actionscript version.

PHP generated XML files in Flash

I want to create a flash based frontend for my image gallery
system. I need to load in an php generated xml file (something like
images.php). But Flash seems to load the unparsed xml file
(webserver with php works fine). Maybe that's just happening in the
authoring environment. I'm trying to load the xml file with the
XML-connector. Can someone give me an advice before I do hours of
trial'n'error business?

It seems like I don't get my foot into the AS/XML door. My
XML looks like this:
<root>
<image>
<url>
<name>
<etc>
(Close tags not shown)
The XML file is valid and works with XML-connector. I try to
access the XML data with this AS:
xml_doc = new XML();
xml_doc.load('flash.xml');
xml_doc.onLoad = function(success) {
//trace(this.toString());
xml_doc.ignoreWhite = true;
//trace(xml_doc.toString());
trace(xml_doc);
var mainnode:XMLNode = xml_doc.firstChild;
var imagenodes:Array = xml_doc.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < imagenodes.length; i++) {
// for each person node:
var imagenode:XMLNode = imagenodes
images.push(
{i:i+1,
url:imagenode.childNodes[0].nodeValue,
imagename:imagenode.childNodes[1].nodeValue
trace(images);
I'm not getting any values out (just 'undefined'). There
seems to be something missing, but I just don't find out what.
Cheers,
Martin

Loading text file with flash lite 3.0 problem

Hello,
I recently ran into a problem with loading a plain text file with Flash Lite 3.0.
I know there is a way to load name/value pairs using LoadVars class or XML file using XML class. Both methods work great, but these classes parse the data loaded and I need to load just a plain text - no pairs or xml structure. (its because Im loading specific file format, so I can't make any changes to it)
There is a simple way how to achieve this in Flash using Actionscript 2 by extending the LoadVars class and overriding the onData() method. I used it plenty of times and it works fine.
There is an example of implementation:
// the PlainData.as file
class PlainData extends LoadVars {
    function onData(str) {
        trace(str)
        this.onLoad(true);
// now in the main file
var my_data:PlainData = new PlainData();
my_data.load("my3dmodel.obj");
This code traces unchanged content of my3dmodel.obj file.
The problem comes when I try to run this code using Flash Lite 3.0. The code stops working just by changing player version in publish settings to Flash Lite 3.0. It doesnt display any error, but also doesnt trace any content.
Is there a reason why you cant override onData method in LoadVars class in lite version of flash or am I doing something wrong?
(also overriding onLoad() method works fine in Flash Lite)

How can I save a XML file with JAXP1.1?

Dear All.
I write a program to create XML file with DOM model, but I can't know how to save it? My environment is JAXP1.1 and JDK1.3.1,I has been required not use other XML parser toolkits,only JAXP1.1.
How can I do? thank you.
Many person give me a idea the com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument, but I can't find the class in API document or JAXP1.1's packages. why?
what is it? How can i use it?
thank you very much.

The way to save an XML Document is using a Transformer.
To have access to a transformer use the packages :
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
Then for saving your Document Object (named dXml) get a Transformer Object with the TransformerFactory Object :
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
Now you have got your Transformer Object, to save your Document Object use the method :
Document dXml = getMyDocument(); // this is your Document Object.
OutputStream osSave = getMySaveStream(); // this the OutputStream you need to save your Document.
try
t.transform(new DomSource(dXml), new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(osSave)));
finally
osSave.close();
And your Document was now saved.

Create xml file with values from context

Hi experts!
I am trying to implement a WD application that will have some input fields, the value of those input fields will be used to create an xml file with a certain format and then sent to a certain application.
Apart from this i want to read an xml file back from the application and then fill some other context nodes with values from the xml file.
Is there any standard used code to do this??
If not how can i do this???
Thanx in advance!!!
P.S. Points will be rewarded to all usefull answers.

Hi,
you need to create three util class for that:-

for example in my XML two tag item will be there e.g. Title and Organizer,and from ur WebDynpro view you need to pass value for the XML tag.
And u need to call buildXML()function of builder class to generate XML, in that i have passed bean object to get the values of tags. you need to set the value in bean from the view ui context.

Transfer 100M XML file with XSL

Hi,
I am trying to transfer 100M XML file with XSL. Input.xml is the XML file, format.xsl is the XSL file. I type in the command line as:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN input.xml -XSL format.xsl -OUT output.xml
It got "out of memeory" error. My questions are:
1. Is it possible to transfer such large XML file with XSLT?
2. The XSL processor used SAX or DOM to parse XML file?
3. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
James

maybe?
java -Xmx200m org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN input.xml -XSL format.xsl -OUT output.xml
