Flash ActionScript 3.0 and XML Basics - AS3 XML Tutorial

[Ihas3pair]

what are lines 23-30 for? You don't seem to ever use xmlDoc or menuXML other than there.

Are they really needed? I saw a video for an MP3 player that parsed XML just fine using only the XML object and your code seems to do the same in the for-each loop.

Sorry i put 'hid' instead of his. there might be other spelling in that last comment.  :(

[AshleyMcGowan1]

Thanks for tutorial. =D

I have given them all an ID, any idea on how to make a page that has all the links on then you click on one and you get the results of one entry.

so if i click on Paul i get his number and all hid details.

OR A next button to go onto the next persons info. so its not all on one page.

Thanks.

[Gatosani]

[nivekwask]

Hi Can someone help me out? I keep getting this error and I don't know why?

Scene 1, Layer 'as 3.0', Frame 1, Line 21

1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before var.

var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);

That is the code I have in line 21???

Thank you

[thinkfinalcut]

great pro presentation - I am a video trainer for after effects and final cut- I am going to launch my youtube channel later this month - HOW do you get so many viewers? 12k plus - how do you get traffic? thanks in advance for your reply

[anandavimal]

that can impossibly be the easiest way to create 3 boxes with info on a grey background! Cant believe how much info is contained in something that simple. Isnt there a easier way to make what you made? As far as Ive understand there are programs that translate what you make into codes for you? Or am I way off here

[Mozoziz]

@anandavimal You could have done it much easier by only using AS3 if you were good at it, but i think the point of this video wasn't to create 3 textboxes.

[skillguitar]

Can you put HTML in Flash too?

[Mozoziz]

@skillguitar Yes, we can (lol)

[andig97]

how can you get the text to wrap/stay inside the movie clip?

[andig97]

how would you load an image from each xml item inside each of those boxes?

[andyjimbo2006]

Badda bing!

[codymoss3300]

Is it possible to have the flash file (or adobe air) pull the xml file from a web server or another web server if the xml is on another website?

Thanks for all your work in producing the most content I can find from one person on Flash/PHP/ActionScript and many other hard to grasp web design problems. This vid helped me create a XML based drop down menu for a flash player that I use to display mp4 movies. I also used the XML data to give track, author and album description. Keep up the great tutorials. I cant thank you enough.

[louodd]

Love your work dude ...I stayed awake eazy & lernt something. Cheers amego

[FirebrandNIRE]

It must be said, these movies are extremely helpful. Thanks for all your help and time in making these.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I needed to find a basic tutorial for XML and then you made one thank you very much for explaining it so deeply!

[yyassaman74]

fantastic!

[MichaelMedia1]

Thank-you very much for this tutorial, Adam! I am Misterplix6 on DevelopPHP. Thank-you so much. I have no issues working with XML. This tutorial is great, and it explained it all!

Thank-you once again for taking 30 minutes out of your life to make a tutorial about this. :)

[flashbuilding]

No sweat partner, hopefully it will benefit many.

[codymoss3300]

Hey Adam a lot of my friends say it doesn't matter what you name the nodes? is that true?

[djshaanky]

As complex as it might be I think its better dealing with XML in flash than HTML

[matchuhugs]

This is a good tutorial Adam. And I know that you already created a dynamic XML photo gallery, but is there any way you could show how to parse the XML to put a basic jpg onto the stage. I'm sure you hate request, but I was having some difficulty when reading the comments from the source file. I think if understood the basics under the hood I would grasp it, and better decipher it. Anyways thanks for all the great tutorials I will keep following!

[djshaanky]

good tut Adam
