Updating xml gallery

hi! i was woundering if anyone can help me with an xml
gallery. i have one created and it displays the pictures fine, but
i would like one which i would not have to edit the xml file to add
new images into, so the gallery updates itself everytime a new
image is placed into the folder.
is this possible or am i stuck with having to edit the xml
file myself everytime?

Possible but to update the xml you will need additional -
server side - software like ASP, PHP, CF, Java.

HTTPService not reading updated xml, i've been having to refresh the xml in my browser manually

I am calling an HTTPService (id=data2php) which runs a php
script which creates an xml doc and puts it on my server. i then
call another HTTPService (id=feedRequest) which reads the xml doc.
i then try to populate a datagrid with the lastResult of my
HTTPService that reads the xml doc. My issue is that that the
HTTPService which reads the xml doc reads the previous incarnation
of the xml doc, not the newly created one that my HTTPService
(data2php) created. i've been manually going to the xml doc in my
browser and hitting refresh for my feedRequest HTTPService to read
the updated xml.
here is the mxml for the httpservice that reads the xml:
<mx:HTTPService id="feedRequest" url="
http://cfcdi.org/eric/dashboard/php/sales.xml"
result="feedResult(event)" resultFormat="xml" useProxy="false"/>
pretty straight forward.
(actually, once in a while it will read the updated
one)

LittleMuscle,
Instead of binding to the lastResult property, I would
explicitly handle the result and fault events of the HTTPService
(the one that reads the newly created xml doc) and then manually
update an XMLListCollection for use as the datagrid's dp. That way,
you can at least walk through the debugger and see what's going on,
and force the second HTTPService to read only when you're sure the
newly created doc is ready.
Since you said it works sometimes and not other times, it
sounds like it's just a timing problem, sometimes the xml doc is
created quickly enough that the HTTPService grabs the new xml doc,
but if not, it's grabbing the old one. That would be my
guess.

Hi,
You should have created your own thread for this, and included database version.
This works for me on 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.5 :

Table created

RESULT
*LONDON*
Does the OAVendorLocation really have a whitespace value?
If not then it's expected behaviour, you're trying to update a text() node that doesn't exist. In this case, the solution is to use appendChildXML to create the text() node, or update the whole element.
Is it your real document? Do you actually have some namespaces?

I did the update to 3.6.11 - when it restarted it will not open any pages. When i go to check for updates it gives me this error: Update XML file malformed (200) - Any advice?

I did the update to 3.6.11 - After it started Firefox it would go to the requested site in the addressbar, but the page would be blank. I went to check for updates and it told me there was a problem in updating. It gave me this error message: Update XML file malformed (200)
I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same problem exists.
Any advice?

For the error message see [[AUS Update XML File Malformed 200]].
As it appears not to be able to load any sites, a possible cause is your firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. For more details see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

Flash & xml gallery problem

i have a flash & xml gallery source. whatever click the
thumbnails, opening first image. where is the problem? i need help,
please...
Flash & Xml
Gallery

then that's a problem. sometimes your cookie may loaded
sooner than the needed frame in your swf and when you try to go to
a frame that hasn't been downloaded, the swf will stay on frame 1.
i assume you already have a stop() on frame 1 and you check
the cookie's value before proceeding. in addition to waiting for
the cookie to load, you should wait for the needed frame of your
swf to load.
so, if you're not using a loop now to check for your cookie,
you'll need one for your swf to check its _framesloaded property
before advancing the timeline.

hi,
back to work,
then i used a loop in the first clear function:
var n:int = 0;
              while (n < xml_gallery_List.length() -1) {
                  bottom24.gallery.content_mc.itemHolder_mc.removeChildAt(n); //
                i++;
and it remove all my previously loaded pictures,but it throw me an error :
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.
at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/removeChildAt()
it seems error come from the removeChildAt, but i can't figure out what's wrong
i've tried to replace removeChildAt(n); by removeChild(n); and the loop crash Flash software....
any suggestion ?

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me :(

I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
I have my post dont want to duplicate it

The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
[Reference]
Ref1=http://stream.riverratdoc.com/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.

Xml gallery with thumbnails & next/previous buttons.

hallo all the wise people,
sorry to bother you, but i'm kind of desperate, and nobody around to ask, so....
i've spend now three full days editing an xml gallery... to my needs, and always goes messy, so maybe it's time give up and make my own from the scratch, or looking from a one closer to my needs =/ (helpless).
could anyone help - maybe any of you by some chance knows a link as close as possible to tutorial/source as3 fla to sthg as close as possible to this:
a) xml gallery
b) thumbnails
c) when thumbnail clicked a big picture shows
d) next/previous buttons possible
otherwise, i can also post the code of my gallery where i absolutely can't add next/previous buttons without making a big mess =/
i will be totally youbie doubie grateful for any help... any, if you only know any good link, 'll try to fugure out a tutorial or edit the source myself....
thanks in advance

heyyyo wise one,
at least this is really nice of you to ask - this gallery really makes me by now feel twice as blond as i am 8-0. but this is kinda really nested.
the xml structure goes like this (this is easy and more or, less standard)(Caption is neglectable, probabaly i will not even display it, unless i have some extra time):
<MenuItem>
         <picnum>01</picnum>
         <thumb>thumbs/Image00001.jpg</thumb>
         <picture>Image00001.jpg</picture>
   <Caption>Fist Title</Caption>
</MenuItem>
uaaha, then the as goes. there is the URLloader, but also two different loaders inside (one for the thumbnails, one for the big picture). and this is all inside a for each loop -eh... i was always trying to change the pictLdr behavior - the loader, that loads the big picture.
anyway the URL loader, and the main function, which is attached to it go like this:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "gallery_config.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
// Create the xmlLoaded function
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
// Place the xml data into the myXML object
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
    // Initialize and give var name to the new external XMLDocument
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
// Ignore spacing around nodes
    xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
// Define a new name for the loaded XML that is the data in myLoader
    var menuXML:XML = XML(myLoader.data);
// Parse the XML data into a readable format
    xmlDoc.parseXML(menuXML.toXMLString());
    // Access the value of the "galleryFolder" node in our external XML file
for each (var galleryFolder:XML in myXML..galleryFolder)
   // Access the value of the "pagenum" node in our external XML file
           var galleryDir:String = galleryFolder.toString();
//trace (galleryDir);
//trace (galleryFolder);//output taki sam jak powyżej
// inicjuję variable flag, która bedzie trzsymac nazwę klikniętego thumbnail
var flag2:String = null;
// Set the index number of our loop, increments automatically
var i:Number = 0;
// Run the "for each" loop to iterate through all of the menu items listed in the external XML file
for each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem)
// Access the value of the "picnum" node in our external XML file
    var picnum:String = MenuItem.picnum.toString();
// Access the value of the "pagetext" node in our external XML file
    var Caption:String = MenuItem.Caption.toString();
// Access the value of the "thumb" node in our external XML file
    var thumb:String = MenuItem.thumb.toString();
// Access the value of the "pagepicture" node in our external XML file
    var picture:String = MenuItem.picture.toString();
// Just some trace I used for testing, tracing helps debug and fix errors
//trace(picnum);
var thumbLdr:Loader = new Loader();
    var thumbURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + thumb);
    thumbLdr.load(thumbURLReq);

var thumb_mc = new MovieClip();

clip_mc.alpha = .0;
     // The following four conditionals create the images where the images will live on stage
// by adjusting math through each row we make sure they are laid out good and not stacked
// all on top of one another, or spread out in one long row, we need 4 rows, so the math follows
if (picnum < "05")
       line1xpos = line1xpos + distance; // These lines place row 1 on stage
    clip_mc.x = line1xpos;
    clip_mc.y = yPlacement;

   clip_mc.x = line4xpos;
   clip_mc.y = 258;
   thumb_mc.x = line4xpos;
   thumb_mc.y = 258;
   // And now we create the pic loader for the larger images, and load it into "pictLdr"
   var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();
   var pictURL:String = picture;
      var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(galleryDir + picture);
   //var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("gallery/Image00004.jpg");sprawia,ze zawsze wyswitla sie jeden obrazek
      pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);
   // Access the pic value and ready it for setting up the Click listener, and function
      clip_mc.clickToPic = pictLdr;
   // Access the text value and ready it for setting up the Click listener, and function
   clip_mc.clickToText = Caption;
   //var instName:String = flag();
   // Add the mouse event listener to the moviClip button for clicking
      clip_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clipClick);
      // Set the function for what happens when that button gets clicked
   function clipClick(e:Event):void
     // Populate the parent clip named frameSlide with all of the necessary data
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.gotoAndPlay("show"); // Makes it appear(slide down)
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.caption_txt.text = e.target.clickToText; // Adds the caption
     MovieClip(parent).frameSlide.frame_mc.addChild(e.target.clickToPic); // Adds the big pic
   } // This closes the "for each" loop
} // And this closes the xmlLoaded function
and the effect looks like this (it's a sketch, so big pictures are loaded randomly, don;t put too much attention to it): http://bangbangdesign.pl/xmlGallery/gallery29.swf
but i guess it's a terrible stuff to go through all this. i would be totallly satisfied with a likng to a good tutorial to do it from scratch, or just a hint where to start rebuilding this.
+ in any case i send greetinngs to whereever you are =]

Xml gallery alignment, help

I am making an XML gallery with thumbnails. It is working fine, but I have a problem with alignment of the images. All the large images are loading into the top left corner. I would like them to load with center alignment for all images. I don't know anything about Action Script. The way I made this website was to use already made sample of some one else. Can you help me to figure out this alignment problem? Again, I am very bad at Action Script, so it would be great if you can show me the actual coding for this to work.
Here is the sample gallery: http://www.chimeddorj.com

I am using Flash CS 4, like I mentioned earlier, I am making this site on some one's pre-made flash file. There is a movie symbol for loading the large images (called largeImage_mc). I resized this movie clip to 550x450 px (landscape). And positioned it at X=200 Y=0 (top left corner registration point or the anchor point).
The movie clip could be dragged to any position. But images that are loaded into this bo is always aligning to the top left corner of this movie symbol.
If I calculate the actual center of this image loading area (regarding its position on the window), it would be x=425, y=225.
I hope my writing makes sence.

XML GALLERY WONT EXIT

I have an XML gallery that has been giving me some problems. My as3 refers to an .as file that is in itself a class. This class creates the gallery and has an event listener to exit the gallery when clicked. It works perfectly fine for exiting the main image, but my thumbnails don't budge. I fixed the thumbnail issue by adding the code removeChild, which removes the gallery completely, but freezes the main image. What I think is happening is that when I add the code removeChild it disables any communication between my swf and as files, which in turn skips over the eventListener to remove my main image.. the code is kind of long and complicated, but i was hoping for some advice.. tips.. anything.

thanks for the help!!
I'm still getting an error 2007 non null object, even though i declared it in same style in which i declared photo_bit.
take the following code for example...
stage.removeChild(stage.getChildByName("photo_bit"));
stage.removeChild(stage.getChildByName("thumb_btn"));
stage.removeChild(stage.getChildByName("thumb_bit"));
and yes I added it to my .as file
private function displaythumb(e:Event):void
     thumb_btn = new Sprite();
     thumb_bit= new Bitmap();
     thumb_btn.name="thumb_btn";
     thumb_bit.name="thumb_bit";
     thumb_btn.y=(stage.stageHeight-thumb_btn.height)/1.25;
     thumb_btn.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,0);
     thumb_btn.graphics.drawRect(0,0,125,125);
     thumb_btn.graphics.endFill();
     thumb_bit=e.target.content as Bitmap;
     thumb_bit.y=(stage.stageHeight-thumb_bit.height)/1.045;
     thumb_btn.width=thumb_btn.height=thumb_bit.width=thumb_bit.height=125;
     thumb_bit.smoothing=true;
     addChild(thumb_bit);
     addChild(thumb_btn);
     thumb_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,loadphoto);

HOw to update XML file residing in DAM by component JSP in run-time?

i have made a component which reads xml file residing in DAM.
Content Author can fill some values in dialog of this component, as soon as author provide the values,i have to update these values in XML file and component reloadsby reading the updated xml file.
i am trying to achieve this by making object of XML file and giving it's path., but i ma unable to access the XML file.
Can anyone help me out to how to update XML file by component JSP in run-time?

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?

How to update XML Facts in rule author

Hi,
since there is not a separate forum for the rules engine and this is tightly related to BPEL, so I thought I'd post the question here.
what's the process to update XML Facts in the rule author and the BPEL process that is already using the rule repository for decisions?
for example, if I change the data type on one of the elements in the XML Facts schema from string to int, what do I do next to put such change into the existing rule repository and update the BPEL side of things?
I have tried re-importing the updated XSD into the rule repository (it's a WebDAV repository), I can see the change in the new definitions for the xsd, and I can also make use of the change to define new rules, in the words, the rule author side seems fine;
then I copied the updated xsd into my BPEL project that calls the rules engine, and then what should I do next? I can't see any where in jDeveloper I can "update" the decision service partner link, so I just re-deployed the BPEL process with the updated xsd under the rule/xsd folder, but then the same call to the decision service starts failing with a "business exception, cx-fault-actor" but without any more details.
I haven't added any new rules, only change of data type on one element.
what am I missing?
thanks.

In ALDSP 2.5 (and ALDSP 3.0), non-XA data sources can be updated without writing an update-override. But if you want to do any special processing that is not handled by the default behaviour, or for data services not based on relational databases, in ALDSP 2.5, you can write an update-override.
In ALDSP 3.0, the update model is somewhat different, I suggest that you peruse the ALDSP 3.0 documentation for a thorough discussion. The documentation is here http://edocs.bea.com/aldsp/docs30/index.html I suggest start with a search on 'update'.
In ALDSP 3.0, I believe updateoverride feature still exists for the purpose of backwards compatibility (at least it turned up in a search of updateoverride in the 3.0 docs)

Xml gallery problem??

I´m using a xml gallery with thumbs . I tried several
things but can´t get it work. I want to add links in the
textfield. The text in the textfield comes from a .txt file and xml
file. I dont know if it´s possible to add links in .txt files
or if there is any other way to open urls with links for the
different images.
I hope someone can help me with this..

I'm not really sure what you are trying to do. I dont know
what you are trying to make a link out of....
However if you have a movieclip called myPic, and you want it
to link to one of your urls loaded from the xml or a .txt file
myLink= whatever your loaded link from xml or .txt is;
myPic.onRelease=function(){
getURL(myLink,blank);}

SQL Functions to Update XML Data

Hi,
Can anybody please tell me whether SQL Functions to Update XML Data (such as updateXML, insertChildXML, insertXMLbefore etc) are available with oracle 9i or not?
Please tell me.

You can also do a describe on SYS.XMLTYPE to see what methods are supported in your release. How would you find e.g. insertChildXML in DESC sys.xmltype? I suppose it is not a Method of the Type: Summary of XMLType Subprograms.

Question on an xml gallery

I've got an xml gallery that i've built in flash...
everything works just fine- but i'm now trying to build an
alternate gallery and I'm in a bit over my head.
Here are the nodes I have in my xml:
<pic>
<image></image>
<caption></caption>
<thumbnail></thumbnail>
<projname></projname>
<subtitle></subtitle>
<view></view>
</pic>
from there: the thumnails layout- the image, and copy display
on rollOver of the thumbs...
for my alternate gallery- I want the same layout- however for
example a 'web' category, i only want the 'web' thumbnails to work-
and still have the rest of the gallery load an alternate thumbnail-
that is a grayscale version of the original- and i want it to do
absolutely nothing but sit there. I have created alternate gray
versions of the images and they load fine...
obviously leaving out the nodes i don't want stops the xml
from loading... and leaving them blank returns an 'undefined' in my
dynamic text boxes.
i haven't had to tackle something like this in the past and
i'm not sure where to start-
would it work to have a category node and then an if/else
statement leaving specified categories rollOver states .enabled =
false; ?
if anyone has any ideas - i'm just not sure where to go from
here.
thanks!

any type of filtering through XML CAN be done through flash,
or parsed in the asp/php file that is generated, but modifying the
SQL statement that creates your initial data is the real way to
handle your issue.
If you do end up parsing all the XML in flash alone, you'll
do a lot more work, but you'll probably have to split up your XML
into seperate objects via catagory. (or write if statements to
ignore empty nodes).
