Can you use Variable inside setSelection?
This works:
code:
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.focus = mt;
mt.setSelection(5, 25);
}
Although the following does not work.
code:
var cs = "<MCAPI"
var cf = "</MCAP>"
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.focus = mt;
mt.setSelection(cs, cf);
}
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
Thst because you need number values and not text values, try this I found and manipulated.
PHP Code:
const input:String = "<MCAPI The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</MCAP>";
var cs = "<MCAPI";
var cf = "</MCAP>";
function getSubString(begin:String, end:String, fullString:String):void
{
var startIndex:Number = fullString.indexOf(begin) + begin.length;
//var endIndex:Number = fullString.indexOf(end) - 1;// first case of
var endIndex:Number = fullString.lastIndexOf(end);// last case of
trace(fullString.substring(startIndex, endIndex));
stage.focus = mt;
mt.setSelection(startIndex,endIndex);
}
bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
getSubString(cs,cf,mt.text);// text value
//getSubString(cs,cf,input);// written const
}
ans a CS5 file

Thank you FruitBeard
I think there may be a more simple solution. Here is my XML feed i'm loading:
http://us2.api.mailchimp.com/1.2/?me...cid=2cc39ee165
Although when I load that in my AS it comes out looking like some mass amount of code so I used cstat.text = unescape(san); to make it look more like the above url (using the unescape feature) as you see it in your browser but then it puts all kinds of junk before and after the <MCAPI> and </MCAPI> tags resulting in the xml feed to not validate. Therefore instead of doing your script above could there maybe be a more simple loading script that could just load it in clean?
Here is my code:
code:
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url = "method=campaignClickStats&output=xml&apikey=" + apiKey + "&cid=2cc39ee165";
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(url);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = "http://" + dataCenter + ".api.mailchimp.com/1.2/?method=campaignClickStats";
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;
//create the loader
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(request);
}
function completeHandler(e:Event) {
var san = new XML(e.target.data);
cstat.text = unescape(san);
}

Hi,
The xml is a tad messy when you get it yes,i got it to work like this, importing it as TEXT, then you can messa round with from within.
PHP Code:
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var url = "http://us2.api.mailchimp.com/1.2/?method=campaignClickStats&output=xml&apikey=d42ca0bbda36b2dce5e85bbf75841890&cid=2cc39ee165";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(request);
}
function completeHandler(e:Event)
{
var san = new XML(e.target.data);
cstat.text = san;
}

Hi,
Even though the question changed dramatically from the first question of why is this not working (setSelection)
This is possibly what you desire.
PHP Code:
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
var urlPart:String = "http://us2.api.mailchimp.com/1.2/?method=campaignClickStats&output=xml"; var apiKey:String = "&apikey=d42ca0bbda36b2dce5e85bbf75841890"; var cid:String = "&cid=2cc39ee165";
var xmlUrl:String; var xmlLoader:URLLoader; var xmlTarget:URLRequest; var xmlLength:Number;
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { xmlUrl = String(urlPart) + String(apiKey) + String(cid);
xmlLoader = new URLLoader(); xmlTarget = new URLRequest(xmlUrl); xmlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,xmlError,false,0,true); xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlComplete,false,0,true); xmlLoader.load(xmlTarget); }
function xmlComplete(e:Event):void { xmlLoader.removeEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,xmlError); xmlLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlComplete);
var xmlImport = new XML(e.target.data); cstat.text = xmlImport;
xmlLength = xmlImport.struct.length(); trace("Structs: " + xmlLength);
for (var i:Number = 0; i < xmlLength; i++) { trace("Struct: " + String(i + 1) + " --------------------------------------"); trace("Key:" + xmlImport.struct[i].@key); trace("Type:" + xmlImport.struct[i].@type); trace("Clicks:" + xmlImport.struct[i].clicks); trace("Clicks type:" + xmlImport.struct[i].clicks.@type); trace("Unique:" + xmlImport.struct[i].unique); trace("Unique type:" + xmlImport.struct[i].unique.@type);
trace("***** End Struct *****"); } }
function xmlError(e:IOErrorEvent):void { trace(e); }
you might need to add some of the necessary imports at the start!!!
