Displaying XML data in a DataGrid

Hi, how can i refresh data?

Business Minded,

The previous video doesn’t display any video at all. It simply displays an XML packet in a Flex DataGrid control.
If you want to display a video you need to use the VideoDisplay control, or use the NetStream, NetConnection, and Video classes.

I’ve never tried that, but I’m guessing it should work. I have an example of the FileReference class’s new load() method at http://blog.flexexamples.com/2008/08/25/previewing-an-image-before-uploading-it-using-the-filereference-class-in-flash-player-10/

This code is fairly untested (I only quickly checked it locally, not from a remote webserver), but this may help get you started:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FxApplication name="DefineFont4_cff_test"
        xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009">
    <layout>
        <BasicLayout />
    </layout>

    <Style>
        VGroup {
            left: 10;
            right: 10;
            top: 10;
            bottom: 10;
        }
    </Style>

    <Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private var fileRef:FileReference;

            private function button_click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
                var xmlFileFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("XML files (.xml)", "*.xml");

                fileRef = new FileReference();
                fileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, fileRef_select);
                fileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileRef_complete);
                fileRef.browse([xmlFileFilter]);
            }

            private function fileRef_select(evt:Event):void {
                fileRef.load();
            }

            private function fileRef_complete(evt:Event):void {
                var len:int = fileRef.data.length;
                var str:String = fileRef.data.readUTFBytes(len);
                var dataXML:XML = new XML(str);
                textArea.text = dataXML.toXMLString();
            }
        ]]>
    </Script>

    <VGroup>
        <Button id="button"
                label="Load file..."
                click="button_click(event);" />
        <TextArea id="textArea"
                width="100%"
                height="100%" />
    </VGroup>

</FxApplication>

I have a data grid in my application and the data provider is something like
dataProvider=”{XMLlist.(@attribute == “XXX”).elementname}”.

It says data binding will not be able to detect assignments to attribute.
Can someone please help me on this?

Prashant,

Well, XML is a pretty broad topic (and usually semi-specific to your exact XML packet/problem in question), but this may help you get started:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        initialize="init();">

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private var theXML:XML;

            private function init():void {
                theXML = <root someAttribute="Prashant" someDate="09/29/2008">
                            <node id="001" name="Node 1" value="1" bool="true">(1) The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</node>
                            <node id="002" name="Node 2" value="2" bool="false">(2) The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog</node>
                        </root>;

                /* Get the root node's someAttribute attribute. */
                var name:String = theXML.attribute("someAttribute").toString();
                lbl1.text = name;

                /* Get the root node's someDate date string and convert it into a Date object. */
                var dat:String = theXML.attribute("someDate");
                lbl2.text = new Date(dat).toDateString();

                /* Get the first "node" node's id attribute. */
                var childID1:Number = theXML.node[0].@id;
                lbl3.text = childID1.toString();

                /* Get the first "node" node's text. */
                var str1:String = theXML.node[0].text();
                lbl4.text = str1.toString();
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:VBox>
        <mx:Label id="lbl1" />
        <mx:Label id="lbl2" />
        <mx:Label id="lbl3" />
        <mx:Label id="lbl4" />
    </mx:VBox>

</mx:Application>
