XML going into Arrays is killing my movie

I'm loading a large xml file into flash.
I think the amount of data going into Arrays is killing my
move. So what are the work arounds?

If the built-in XML parser is getting bogged because there is
too much to
handle, you ought to try loading smaller chunks of data.

  • XML newbie question - xml into arrays

    I am pretty new xml and I am working with a file that has
    text
    associated with images in the file and I would like to move
    the text
    into a xml document.
    I heard that a good way to deal with xml is to load it into
    an array. I
    have my text set up in arrays already, so my whole file
    aready works in
    that way. So all I have to do is load my xml document into my
    arrays. I
    have the xml document loading fine, but I don't know how to
    get the info
    into my arrays.
    My xml document looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <index_content>
    <image no="1">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 01"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 01, Text bla bla, bla
    01"</text>
    <corner>"unisex"</corner>
    </image>
    <image no="2">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 02"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 02, Text bla bla, bla
    02"</text>
    <corner>"men’s & women’s"</corner>
    </image>
    <image no="3">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 03"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 03, Text bla bla, bla
    03"</text>
    <corner>"men’s & women’s"</corner>
    </image>
    <image no="4">
    <imgLink>"pages/collection.html"</imgLink>
    <title>"Title 04"</title>
    <text>"Text bla bla, bla 04, Text bla bla, bla
    04"</text>
    <corner>"men’s & women’s"</corner>
    </image>
    </index_content>
    My arrays in Flash are:
    var imgLinkURLs:Array = [];
    var imgTitles:Array = [];
    var imgTexts:Array = [];
    var imgCornerLabel:Array = [];
    So I think i need for loops pushing for example imgLink from
    image no1
    into imgLinkURLs array, then push imgLink from image no2, and
    so forth.
    Then do the same for imgTitle and the other arrays...
    How would I do this the right way?

    you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
    tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
    arrays
    for (i...) {
    get the appropriate child of index_content
    first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
    second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
    no need for multiple loops.
    flash has functionality for xml files, but it helps to write
    a little wrapper around it, to simplify programming, especially if
    you work with xml a lot.. I wrote my for work, so I can't show it
    to you, but it's not very complicated to do

  • (bug?)Movie clip contains an object with a z value will not edit the object in place, it goes into a seperate window.

    When a movie clip contains an object with a z value, I can not edit the object in place, it goes into a seperate window.
    This changes the vanishing point relative to the movieclip instead of the stage (allong with everything else).
    This makes it very hard to keep track of where the movieclips will end up when actualy playing the animation.

    I should have explained my situation a little better. I have a machine that's made up of a number of parts, some of them are fairly large and some are quite small. When a user clicks on a part, I want to center that part on the screen and then move whole machine toward the screen until the selected part either fills the screen (for the larger parts) or the part bumps up against the front clip plane (for the smaller parts).
    I didn't think of checking for a collision with the ViewPlatform's TG, thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't sure how the ViewPlatform's location relates to the clipping plane, but I'll dig into it. I'm still learning how the ViewingPlatform, the image plate, and the clipping planes all relate to each other.

  • I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November!  Up in the left coener where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there.  Kills my battery.  This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23.  Any ideas out there?

    I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November!  Up in the left corner where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there.  Kills my battery.  While in searching, no calls can be made/recieved, no internet, etc. This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23.  Any ideas out there?

    Both.  The first two, I did use my itunes.  The guy at the apple store said that could be the problem.  The last time they gave me a new phone and SIM card, and the tech said it wouldnt be the itunes.  Just to be safe, I never connected this phone to the itunes until last night-after it started searching- to save everything since I'm sure they will be replacing the phone today.  But hey, thanks for the suggestions.  I'm about at my wits end with Apple!!  Especially since i added a third line to my account just so I could get an iphone back.

I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated

  • IPhone 3gs wont turn back on once it goes into sleep mode!

    2 days ago my iPhone 3gs (OS 6.0.1) has gone completely wacko on me and i'm completely frustrated!   I have my phone set to have the screen shut off after 5 minutes.  Usually, to just reaccess the phone I just simply hit the home button.  Now, if I let it go into sleep mode, the phone WILL NOT come back on!  I went online and did some research, and it suggested holding the home button and the sleep button for 10 seconds to get it to come back on.  It works most times, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to come back on, and when it does come back on it takes forever to load up.  But the whole thing happens all over again when it goes into sleep mode.  My phone is fine as long as I set it to never go into sleep mode, but it is killing my battery.  I need to be able to put it into sleep mode as I have to be able to go all day without charging it at my job.  PLEASE help...I don't know what's going on with it.  I have never done anything to it (jailbreaking, illegal stuff, etc.) and I do all the updates that it asks to do.
    Please please help!

  • Splitting and type casting huge string into arrays

    Hello,
    I'm developing an application which is supposed to read measurement files. Files contain I16 and SGL data which is type casted into string. I16 data is data from analog input and SGL is from CAN-bus data in channel form. CAN and analog data is recorded using same scan rate.
    For example, if we have 6 analog channels and 2 CAN channels string will be (A represents analog and C represents CAN):
    A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 C1 C2 A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 C1 C2 A1 A2 .... and so on
    Anyway, I have problems reading this data fast enough into arrays. Most obvious solution to me was to use shift registers and split string in for loop. I created a for loop with two inner for loops. Number of scans to read from string is wired to N terminal of the outermost loop. Shift register is initialized with string read from file.
    First of the inner loops reads analog input data. Number of analog channels is wired to its N terminal. It's using split string to read 2 bytes at a time and then type casts data to I16. Rest of the string is wired to shift register. When every I16 channel from scan is read, rest of the string is passed to shift register of the second for loop.
    Second loop is for reading CAN channels. It's similar to first loop except data is read 4 bytes at a time and type casted to SGL. When every CAN channel from scan is read, rest of the string is passed to shift register of the outermost loop. Outputs of type cast functions are tunneled out of loops to produce 2D arrays.
    This way reading about 500 KB of data can take for example tens of seconds depending on PC and number of channels. That's way too long as we want to read several megabytes at a time.
    I created also an example with one inner loop and all data is type casted to I16. That is extremely fast when compared to two inner loops!
    Then I also made a test with two inner loops where I replaced shift register and split string with string subset. That's also faster than two inner loops + shift register, but still not fast enough. Any improvement ideas are highly appreciated. Shift register example attached (LV 7.1)
    Thanks in advance,

    OK, there is clearly room for improvement. I did some timing and my two above suggestions are already about 100x faster than yours. A few teeaks led to a version that is now over 500x faster than the original code.
    A few timings on my rather slow computer (1GHz PIII Laptop) are shown on the front panel. For example with 10000 scans (~160kB data as 6+2) my new fastest version (Reshape II) takes 14 ms versus the original 7200ms! It can do 100000 scans (1.6MB data) in under 200 ms and 1000000 scans (15MB data) in under 2 seconds.
    I am sure the code could be further improved. I recommend the Reshape II algoritm. It is fastest and can deal with variable channel counts. Modify as needed.
    Attached is a LabVIEW 7.1 version of the benchmarking code, containing all algorithms. I have verified that all algorithms produce the same result (with the limitation that the cluster version only works for 6*I16+2*SGL data, of course). Remember that the reshape function is extremely efficient, because it does not move the data in memory. I have some ideas for further improvements, but this should get you going.

  • Loading new xml data into a already xml populated image display

    Hi everybody,
    I have a question about loading new xml data into a already xml populated image gallery.
    So I have my gallery set up so it calls some xml when it first loads. What I would now like to do is load different sets of images via a different xml sheet via the click of a button.
    So for example the loaded gallery already has all thumbs loaded and user can click on them to view the full size image. So next instead of the user having to close this gallery to allow a new gallery to open with a different set of pictures I would just like to have a button. This button will unload the existing thumbs from the gallery and load in new ones from a different xml file.
    If anybody can help me with this it would be great as I am still on a steep learning curve with AS3.
    Here is my AS3
    var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
    var xml:XML;
    var loader = new URLLoader();
    loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlPath));
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
         if ((e.target as URLLoader) != null )
              xml = new XML(loader.data);
              createMenu();
    var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
    var menuItems:Array = new Array();
    function createMenu():void
              numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
         var count:uint = 0;
              for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
              var imageLoader=new Loader();
              var menuItem:MenuItem = new MenuItem();
              menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
              imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
              menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
              menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
              menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
              menuItems.push(menuItem);
              addChild(menuItem);
              count++;
    function ***():void
         //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
         for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
              setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);

    Thanks so much for the reply Andrei1
    I think maybe my lack of knowledge when it comes to AS3 is not helping me at the moment because I thought I understood the code you supplied but there is something not going quite right.
    So I messed around with the code and added the new_loaded_thumbs_btn to load in the "new_pictures.xml" but I am def doing something wrong.
    import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
    var xmlPath:String = "pictures.xml";
    var xml:XML;
    var numberOfItems:uint = 0;
    var menuItems:Array = new Array();
    var loader = new URLLoader();
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
    loadXML("pictures.xml");
    new_loaded_thumbs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadXML);
    function loadXML(path:String):void {
         loader.load(new URLRequest("new_pictures.xml"));
    function loadXML(path:String):void {
         loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
    function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void
         xml = new XML(loader.data);
         createMenu();
    function createMenu():void
         clearMenu();
         numberOfItems = xml.items.item.length();
         var count:uint = 0;
         var imageLoader;
         var menuItem:MenuItem;
         for each (var item:XML in xml.items.item)
              imageLoader = Loader();
              menuItem = new MenuItem();
              menuItem.addChild(imageLoader);
              imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(item.url));
              menuItem.linkTo = item.linkTo;
              menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
              menuItem.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, itemClicked);
              menuItems.push(menuItem);
              addChild(menuItem);
              count++;
         sortChildren();
    // removes previously placed objects
    function clearMenu():void {
         var menuItem:MenuItem;
         while (menuItems.length > 0) {
              menuItem = menuItems[0];
              removeChildAt(getChildIndex(menuItem));
              menuItem.shift();
    function sortChildren():void
         //menuItems.sortOn("zpos3D", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
         for (var i:uint = 0; i < menuItems.length; i++)
              setChildIndex(menuItems[i], i);
    When the image display 1st loads it displays the new_pictures.xml thumbs which I thought would load through my new button when clicked.
    And there was me thinking I was getting the hang of AS3.
    Could you please point me in the right direction in what I am doing wrong,
    Thanks for your time and effort in advance

    iPhoto just stopped working. It loads pictures, but then goes into rainbow wheel forever. Then I try to force quit it, and then the whole Mac hangs up (had to power cycle it to get it back). I am using OS 10.5.8, and when I run software update, it assures me I have up to date software. I have not added any photos since the last time I used it, probably less than a month ago. What gives?

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Split imported XML data into multiple text fields

    I should first describe my final project because it is very possible that I am going about this entirely wrong!
    I am trying to create an interactive PDF file which is the floor plan of our office, when you mouse over the office spaces it would popup the info for the person in that office, in fact when you click on the office space it would show additional info like computer MAC and jack numbers
    I placed the floor plan as a layer and them created a second layer with no fill/no stroke rectangles over the offices and made them buttons (office01, office02)
    I then made text fields with the info for the people, one for regular info and one for extra info (office01-data, office01-Xdata) I made these text fields buttons as well and had them "hidden until triggered"
    These info fields are all on top of one another, as in the are all the same size and in teh same location
    Then I went to the office buttons and created events "On Roll Over" "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms" and changed the visibility of the corresponding info button.
    This works like a charm!
    I hope I am clear up to this point.... my problem now is I would like to import this data both regular and extra from an excel spreadsheet or an XML file.
    That way when we get new staff or people move offices or whatever I can update the spreadsheet or XML file, rerun my InDesign file and create a new interactive PDF
    I have created the XML file
    <staffMap>
         <staff>
              <name>John Doe</name>
              <computerName<gfth56df</computerName>

              <phoneMAC>00:08:00:11:22:33</phoneMAC>
         </staff>
    </staffMap>
    Created a new InDesign document
    Imported the XML and placed it in a text field
    saved as a template and closed it
    Reopen and import the XML data again... and it brings it all into the text field... wonderful and useful but not what I need.
    Is it possible to import the XML data into separate test fields, or into some other separate field that I can make into a button and show/hide?
    I may end up just entering all the data directly into InDesign as I know this will work, it just does not seem like the right way to do it.
    Thanking you all in advance 

    I am still looking to get some help with this.
    I would love to know if it is not possible or any ideas at all

  • Some Albums Going into "Compliations" Folder

    For some reason about 100 albums Ive loaded onto my iMac have gone into a folder in my "Music" folder called "Compilations" instead of the music folder with the name of the band.
    Example: 6 of my Led Zeppelin albums in are in the proper "Led Zeppelin" folder ... but for some reason Physical Graffiti always goes into the "Compilations" folder.
    I actually spent 2 hours one day moving all the albums back into their proper folders, only to find them BACK in "Compilations"
    Anyone else have this issue or know why its happening?
    Thanks
    BRian Sullivan

    Check the info tab for anything that is going into compilations. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not going into an Artist folder, right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu). Look for a tick in the "part of compilation" box.
    To remove "part of compilation" from a whole album click on the first track and while holding down the shift key go to the last one and click on it. This will highlight the selection. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info, you be asked if you wan to update multiple items, say yes. In the box the opens change "Compilation" to No. The album will move automatically from the Compilations folder into the relevant artist folder.

  • Early 2008 iMac (8,1) randomly goes into sleep mode

    Hey,
    My early 2008 iMac (8,1) on 10.8.2 goes into sleep mode by itself. I've played around in Energy Saver, tried resetting SMC, NVRAM, replaced HDD, reformatted HDD, installed smcFanControl, reinstalled Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion. None of that worked. Took it to the Genius bar, performed some diagnostics tests and they said everything worked properly. Does anybody have the same problem? I can still use the computer for general computer use (light web surfing and e-mailing), but it seems to go into sleep mode when I have a lot of applications open and especially when watching videos. I've tried researching this problem, but I've haven't found a definitive answer. Right now, the Genius that I've been talking to thinks it may be the RAM. I'm waiting on new shipments of test RAM to arrive at the Apple Store for him to properly diagnose.
    Thanks,
    Jason
    iMac (8,1)

    2x2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    If you want to read the whole time line, I've included it here. I apologize for it being so long.
    At first I was running Lion (10.7.5) and the computer would enter sleep mode whenever I was doing anything with video. For example, watching YouTube videos and chatting on FaceTime. And funny enough, I distinctly remember watching a bunch of movies with VLC and the computer did not go to sleep (Although, this is not true anymore). I could wake the computer up and use it, however within a few minutes the computer would re-enter sleep mode. The computer seemed fine and I could access all of my files. Tried resetting SMC and it did not resolve the issue.
    I made a Genius appointment to see if they were familiar with the issue. The iMac passed the in-store diagnostics test; it said all the components were functioning properly. He told me to bring it home to do a fresh re-install of my OS and then run my computer to see if the problem persisted. I took it home and reformatted my HDD with a 35-pass erase, re-installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and declined to transfer any backups from Time Machine. I was using a fresh system and sure enough, the problem persited. Tried doing the same thing again but with Lion (10.7.5) and still no luck. So I made another appointment and it passed the in-store diagnostics test again. I let them keep the computer for a 24-hour diagnostics test. They told me they would diagnose my computer with the OS on my HDD as well as a copy of OS that the Apple store deemed 'good' on an external HDD. The Genius called me and told me that my HDD failed their 24-hour diagnostics test and recommended I replace it. I initially had a 750 GB HDD, and the Apple Store could only offer me a 500 GB HDD ($200). I opted to take my computer to Carbon Computing, an authorized dealer in Toronto, to have a 1 TB Seagate HDD ($170) installed with no OS on it. I brought it home, performed another 35-pass erase and installed Snow Leopard. Problem still persisted. Repeated with Lion, still unsuccessful. Looking back, I was so excited that I just had to replace the HDD to fix the problem, I forgot to ask the guy if he could recreate the issue.
    I began to suspect that it was a heating issue. So I installed Temperature Monitor and smcFanControl, and cleaned the fans as much as I could without taking the computer apart. Without smcFC on I tried to recreate the problem and I noticed that the Power Supply Position 1 reached 95 degrees Celsius, and Graphics Processor Temperature Diode reached 97 degrees Celsius before entering sleep mode. I don't know much about temperature sensors and what they monitor specifically, and so I couldn't draw any conclusions from that data. I turned on smcFC and cranked the optical drive speed to 2000 RPM, HDD to 3000, and CPU to 3000. The computer still went to sleep but the temperatures were below 90 degrees Celsius before entering sleep mode. I've tried researching here and on the internet about normal operating temperature ranges of iMacs and generally found that most do reached that temperature but they do not go to sleep mode.
    Then I thought it may be a problem with Lion so I upgraded to Mountain Lion. The issue still persisted. Tried resetting SMC and NVRAM, did not resolve issue.
    I called the same Apple Store explaining to them that their recommendation of replacing the HDD did not resolve the issue. They told me to bring it in and have them check it out again. I went through the same process I did before; the iMac passed all of their diagnostic tests. The Genius told me this time he will test out the RAM. He called me and told me that he could replicate the problem and so he proceeded to put in a stick of 'good' Apple RAM, but the computer would not work. He said the 'good' Apple RAM was damaged, either before or in the process of putting it in. He plugged in my old stick of RAM and the computer worked. He tried to recreate the problem and claimed that the computer ran for over 24 hours with an existing movie on my HDD playing and it did not go to sleep mode. However, once I brought it home I played the same movie right away and it turned off 17 minutes into the movie. Tried resetting SMC and NVRAM again, ran the movie again, still went to sleep.
    And that's the story for now...

    Now to find out WHY it does it at home only. How hot is it at home? Have you checked the AC current/voltage at home?
    Well they were able to replicate the issue at the Apple Store the second time I left my computer there. Anyway, we don't have any heating on at my house at the moment. It's usually from around 20-23 degrees Celsius (72-75 F). Temperature Monitor says ambient temperature is 30 degree C though...
    I'm not really sure how to check the AC current/voltage at home, but my computer worked before I moved it. So I'm not sure if that is the issue.
    I normally only have speakers set up to my computer and a wired keyboard. The speakers are powered separately. I would assume that at the Apple Store only the power cord and wired keyboard are connected.
    What is the Power Supply Position? And what does it do?
    Thanks for your help!

  • How do you stop pictures from going into different rolls?

    Everytime I transfer a picture into iPhoto it goes into a different roll. When it comes to finding these pictures, it can take a long time. Can anyone tell me how to make pictures all go to the same place?

    Each import creates a new roll. You can't change this behavior.
    You can edit your rolls. Select Library from the Source Pane. Go to View > Sort Photos > by Film Rolls. If rolls are closed you can Option-click on one roll's disclosure triangle to open all of them at once. Open the info pane at the lower left of the iPhoto window. Now any time you select a roll by clicking its title, you can edit its info in the info pane. You can edit the title, date, and comments. You can select photo(s) and move to another roll by dragging until a roll's title is highlighted, then drop. You can combine rolls or create new rolls.
    I use large memory cards with my camera and import photos little by little, as I take them. I keep the photos from one card together in one roll. So each time I import, I immediately drag the new roll up to the existing roll for that memory card. This places those photos into the roll with the others, and deletes the newly created roll.
