Comment on Easy way to add attribute to XML by NewFlexProgrammer

NewFlexProgrammer — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:31:38 +0000

Hey thanks a lot for this posting. I am new to Actionscript and this saved me lot of time. Was wondering how to add multiple attributes dynamically during runtime without knowing their names beforehand.

All examples I saw before this were only referencing the names directly like
xmlDemo.childNode.@atr1

I was trying xmlDemo.childNode.@{attrName} where attrName is a string and kept hitting the wall !!

Comment on Different ItemRenderers Sizes in List by Gaelle

Hey Kyle,

I have the same problem, a list for which itemRenders are with different height, and when I set the attribute “variableRowHeight” to true, I have a bug, because, then the list displays only one of its item at the same time.. :(

Hm… I dont like using the XML class, i prefer the XMLList. Try this one:

function funnyXMLBehavior():void
{
var xmlDemo:XMLList = new XMLList();
xmlDemo.childNode.@atr1 = “Orange”;
xmlDemo.childNode.@atr2 = “Raspberry”;
trace(xmlDemo.toXMLString());
}
funnyXMLBehavior();

Comment on Yahoo API Wrapper by mr datsun

Feedback

I could not get your wrapper to work on line. I don’t understand the intricacies but flash failed to load a yahoo crossdomain.xml.

The sad fact is that yahoo have totally changed the API since you wrote your lovely wrapper.

I dug into the new API and found that if I used this code:

var searchService:SearchService = new SearchService();
var searchParams:SearchParams = new SearchParams();
searchService.addEventListener(SearchResultEvent.RESULT, returnResult);
searchParams.query = e.target.myterm;//my search string from a button mouse event
searchService.searchImages(searchParams);

//this last line is the line I changed from their example (searchImages not searchWeb)
//and I did this rather than find out how to send a image SearchService setting type into their API

Once I did this then all the code I used for your wrapper in the returnResult method worked exactly the same - the images loaded straight off and it also worked online.

Another note is that a yahoo appID seems to be no longer needed to authenticate the search.

Many thanks for you help and hope my feedback is some use to you or others.

Hey
eu.orangeflash.webapis.yahoo.Yahoo has event - “result”, you need to do following:
myYahooInstance.addEventListener(YahooEvent.RESULT, onYahooResult);

can I ask - what is the right way of getting the results back after the search is finished? I’m not sure what the YahooEvent is doing. I’ve tried adding an YahooSearchResultEvent listener to my Yahoo instance but it doesn’t work and I’m just guessing.

I’m thinking of hacking a callback for now but I’d like to know the most elegant way of doing it, please.

Hi,
Excellent. You’re the only person on the whole internet who has done this. You’ve actually made the Yahoo search API useable.

Am I the only person who finds the yahoo AS3 API and documentation totally incomprehensible? I wonder if that’s why only two people have posted yahoo/flash examples on their site since it was first released?

I used to call a simple yahoo url to get image search results xml that i could parse easily in AS2 days. A shame that stopped working in AS3.

many thanks.

How about sorting the elements within an XMLList?

Hey guys,
So I searched far and wide today trying to find a solution to this “variable row height” issue and I finally found the solution. The list component has a property called “variableRowHeight”. Set it to true and all of your list items will respect their individual sizes.

This is great - Thanks!
Also helpful are the javadoc comments for those of us wanting to learn about documenting custom classes…

I’ve been tinkering with your Wordpress swc but haven’t had much luck. Any chance you have a simple example available to help get started?

Comment on Flex Client + C# Web Service = OrangeStockQuotes by Moby Disk

Moby Disk — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:37:12 +0000

Thanks for a very complete example showing how this works from start to finish. I’m considering flex/flash/c# for a project and this gives a complete view of what the architecture and implementations are like.

It looks like this does what I want… I’m sold. :)

Very nice job.
Do you know if there is a way to make the contextmenu appear via Actionscript rather than right clicking the mouse?
