Using an online XML file v. a local copy

I'm working on a web project that reads in XML data and processes it accordingly. The system seems to work as it should except that it will only read the XML file if it is stored on a local drive and not through a URL. When trying to access it through a web address I get file not found alerts. Is there a different way I need to reference online files vs. ones stored locally? Thanks for any advice.

I would use a URL to reference both local and remote resources. (Don't call them "files" or you may be tempted to use a File object for both, and of course that doesn't work.)
But you do have to have valid URLs that point to actual resources, and you do have to have a network configuration that allows you to get to those resources, and so on.
Sorry if that seems vague, but it matches the question.

Setting up a Form Application to write to an XML file on a local computer

First, I'm using Flash CS3, and Actionscript3.
I'm trying to set up a data collection form that will save
the results to a file that can later be imported into a database.
This is going to be in a Kiosk at a tradeshow and it won't have
internet access, so I can't send it to an online PHP or ASP, etc,
script.
The form also has several screens, so i thought I'd try to
use the Form Application (I know I can only have one frame on the
timeline when using this flash template with the data components).
I want to try and write the data to a XML file. All the information
I've found is for importing data from an XML file to a web server
rather than sending data to an XML file on a local computer.
I'm trying to use the XML connector,and an XML file that
resides in the same folder as my Flash file, but so far I've had
very little luck writing to that XML file. Do I need to set up a
dataset to send the form data to that will then send the data to an
XML Connector component that will then send the data to the XML
file. Should I use LoadVars instead, and if I do, will I have to
write to a script, or can it also write to an XML file.
If any one has a better idea to do this, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi,
Flash itself has no filewriting capabilities other then the
SharedObject
stuff.
But why can't you call a php script? You could install
apache, PHP and
MYSQL on the computer running the Flash app and get it all
into the
database in one go.
Otherwise you either need to get going with AIR (Adobe
Integrated
Runtime), or use a wrapper application like Adobe Director
(which has
tons of ways to write to file through it's plethora of
Xtras.) Director
may be 'a bit' hard on your budget if you only use it for
this purpose
though.
The XMLSocket is for connections to some server, local or
remote, not to
a file.

Overriding SPMetal Defaults by Using a Parameters XML File

hi everybody,
I have a datatable
Employee below :
FullName Single line of text
Age
Number
After use SPMetal to generate entities, i have
EmployeeItem below:
FullName string
Age
double?
I want Age is Integer so i use "Overriding SPMetal Defaults by Using a Parameters XML File" :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Web AccessModifier="Public" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SharePoint/2009/spmetal">
<List Name="Employee" Type="Employee">
<ContentType Name="Employee" Class="Employee">
<Column Name="FullName" />
<Column Name="Age" Type="Integer" />
<ExcludeOtherColumns/>
</ContentType>
</List>
<ExcludeOtherLists />
</Web>
When generate it have error "There is an error in XML doc" at :
<Column Name="Age" --error here-- Type="Integer" />
Would you like help me?

Hi,
I came across the same error when testing your code in my environment.
Anyway, if we convert the Number field to Integer, there will be a risk of damaging our data due to the conversion accuracy.
So if you want to use the Integer type of data, a workaround is that you can convert the double type of data to Integer type programmatically after retrieving the data you want.

How to specify the webLogic server startup script to use different config.xml file ??

Hi,
I have 2 weblogic startup scripts (startWebLogic.sh and
startWebLogic_recovery.sh) for the same domain.
startWebLogic.sh uses config.xml file.
I would like to use config_recovery.xml as the configuration file for startWebLogic_recovery.sh
How would I do this ?
I am using WebLogic Server 6.1 on SunOS 5.8 / HP-UX 11.0.
Appreciate any help.
Regards
Gunaseelan Venkateswaran

I guess you're using Weblogic 6.1 with WLCS 3.5. I think you're supposed to work with one config.xml for the same domain, and not have a different config.xml.
To start up different applications or EJBs, use the "target" property to control which applications to start up for the particular instance.

Use length of XML file to tween movieclip?

Hello,
I'm creating a horizontal scrolling gallery in which the content is loaded through xml. So far the xml loads fine and the content is easily nested within movieclips and positioned within a larger movieclip containing each of the movieclips containing the content. With that said, I am able to move this main movieclip left and right with no problem using a tween and a fixed position but I have no way of stopping the movieclip according to how much content is in the xml file. I'm attempting to use the length of the xml file to move this main movieclip but either it can't be done or my coding is wrong.
Thank you in advance!
Here is my code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var currentContentIndex:uint = 0;
var currentContent:MovieClip;
// container movieclip
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
container.y = 120;
addChild(container);
var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("gallery.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
var x_count:Number = 0;
var y_count:Number = 0;
// Everything in the function below loads and positions fine
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
     xml = XML(event.target.data);
     xmlList = xml.children();
     for(var i:int = 0; i < xmlList.length(); i++)
          // contentContainer
          var contentContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
          contentContainer.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
          contentContainer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1000, 500);
          contentContainer.graphics.endFill();
          contentContainer.width = 1000;
          contentContainer.height = 500;
          contentContainer.x = (contentContainer.width+400)*x_count;
          contentContainer.y = 0;
          // thumbInfo
          var imageInfo:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
          imageInfo.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
          imageInfo.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 150, 100);
          imageInfo.graphics.endFill();
          imageInfo.x = 400;
          imageInfo.width = 150;
          imageInfo.height = 100;
          addChild(imageInfo);
          imageLoader = new Loader();
          imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList[i].attribute("source")));
          x_count++;
          y_count = 0;
          contentContainer.addChild(imageLoader);
          contentContainer.addChild(imageInfo);
          container.addChild(contentContainer);
function tweenCurrentImageF(){
     currentContent=MovieClip(xmlList[currentContentIndex]); // PROBLEM CODE?
     var targetX:Number = stage.stageWidth/2 - currentContent.x - currentContent.width/2;
     var myTween:Tween = new Tween(container, "x", Strong.easeInOut, container.x, targetX, 1, true);
rightArrow.buttonMode = true;
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, right);
function right(e:MouseEvent):void {
     currentContentIndex++;
     if(currentContentIndex<xmlList.length){
          tweenCurrentImageF();

Hey again,
I understand what you are saying and I've omitted that problem code because it's code I'm trying to carry over from a gallery using an array of movieclips and, to me, it seems irrelevant to this code. I have moved some code around and the movieclip scrolls now but its scrolling directly to the last nested movieclip even though the "currentContentIndex" variable traces 0.
I moved the button and it's function code inside of the xmlLoaded function because it was recognizing "contentContainer.x" as an undefined term when it was outside of it (I just stated this in case this is the problem).
Thank you again!
Here is my new code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
var currentContentIndex:uint = 0;
// container movieclip
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
container.y = 120;

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("gallery.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
var x_count:Number = 0;
var y_count:Number = 0;
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
     xml = XML(event.target.data);
        xmlList = xml.children();
        for(var i:int = 0; i < xmlList.length(); i++)
          // contentContainer
            var contentContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
            contentContainer.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
            contentContainer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 1000, 500);
            contentContainer.graphics.endFill();
            contentContainer.width = 1000;
            contentContainer.height = 500;
        contentContainer.x = (contentContainer.width+400)*x_count;
        contentContainer.y = 0;
          container.addChild(contentContainer);
          imageLoader = new Loader();
         imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList[i].attribute("source")));

Putting the JAR files in WEB-INF/lib and using the standard URIs in the taglib directives are all that's needed; the container locates the TLDs in the JAR files at startup.
If this doesn't work, it's a bug in the container. You may want to upgrade to a later version of Tomcat; 4.0.6 is ancient, and may very well be buggy in this area.

Dreamweaver - using CDATA in xml file

Greetings, I am a designer, not much of a coder... trying to bring in an xml file into an html file using the Spry Menu. I went through creating the .xml file, inserting a Spry table, all working with success. EXCEPT that the CData link I have referenced is coming up as text, not a link. I thought a CDATA attribute would be read as html.
Here's the TEST.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Correct adapter to use for an XML file

Hi,
My current scenario for our business partner is that we are sending them an 850 and 856 then an XML file.
For 850 and 856, we are using AS2 adapter. For the XML file, could I still use the same adapter? Or I need to use File adapter instead?
My scenario for the xml file is that an IDoc is converted to an XML file. This XML file is then sent to the business partner.
Please advise.
Thanks very much.
Regards,
Lex

Hi VJ,
I just found out that I could also use the AS2 adapter to send the xml file to the trading partner.
Thanks for your kind response.

Using "Save As" execCommand in IE8 to save XML file in ANSI format instead of UCS2-Little Endian

I am currently trying to save an XML data using "SaveAs" execCommand from Javascript in Internet Explorer 8 only.I am using document.write(xml) to write the xml content after i open a window.The document object in IE8 uses a saveAs Exec
Command to allow the user to save the xml file in the local folder.The XML file is generated but it doesnt set the encoding to my preferred type for a different interface where i need to send this XML which is ANSI/UTF-8 encoding.I can only save
the XML in UCS2 little Endian encoding format.Below is the code i am using.
var location = "D:\\export_to_MCT"+dateTime+".xml";
var xml = tmpSelectedConfigurationXML.transformNode(xslDoc);// XML Is generated here
alert(xml);
**var testlink = window.open ("about:blank","_blank","toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,left=10000, top=10000, width=10, height=10, visible=none");
testlink.document.write(xml); //fileData has contents for the file
testlink.document.close();
testlink.document.execCommand('SaveAs', false, location);**
testlink.close();
My purpose is to save the xml in ANSI/UTF-8 encoding without BOM format.I cant use Scripting.FileSystemObject method of ActiveX object.Please suggest

@panda Boy--
But my intention isnt that .I need to download the xml in ANSI format

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

I have a fat client we want to image with ZAV 8. The issue is that there is an xml file on each local PC similiar to a TNS file it needs to use. How do I use ZAV 8 with this fat client and be able to point to the xml file on each individual PC? I've already used ZAV 8 to create an image of gw802.

As always there are a few options:
1. Include the xml in your virt... snap/config your app but don't build, add the file to the correct location in the files section. This will make the file pretty much static though, only the virt app would be able to edit it.
2. Use folder isolation settings to allow the virt app to see the xml file on the PC. Snap/config your app but don't build, in the files section add the folder path of your xml. Set isolation(for all folders in path based on need) to either merge or writecopy. I personally try to avoid merge if at all possible. look at the zav help section (search for isolation) to see a description of the isolation settings.

Crystal Report using XML file

Hi,
I want to create dynamic crystal report using below mention xml file.
Example:--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root xmlns:inl="http://inline">
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://inline" xmlns="http://inline" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Person">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="First_Name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Last_Name" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<inl:Person>
<inl:First_Name>Anna</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Ant</inl:Last_Name>
</inl:Person>
<inl:Person>
<inl:First_Name>Betty</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Boop</inl:Last_Name>
</inl:Person>
</root>
Crystal report column will be generated using this xml file.
my report look like--
First Name Last Name
Anna Ant
Betty Boop
Thanks
Praveen

can you please be more detailed on what you mean automatically
like put the xml file together and have the report generated without actually attaching the dataset to the rpt file and placing the fields in the report?
if that is the case i dont believe crystal functions that way, been working with it for many years. i know you can create webi files through business objects where an end user can talk an dataset and build there own queries and rpt files on a dashboard type screen.
