I saw that XPathAPI is one of the data files used in the XMLDataConnector. However, the class file says it’s intrinsic… wtf, does this mean XPath is internally built in the Flash player? If so, anyone know where the documentation for it’s methods are?
I was just gonna play with them to figure them out, but wouldn’t mind a headstart…

Whoa… this makes me nauseous…

Reading this makes me want to go back. He forgets to mention, at least the peeps I met, is the “underdog” attitude sometimes translates into a very outgoing, and welcoming atmosphere. Out of the hundreds I met, only 1 was a jerk… and that’s because I refused to go into his stripjoint.

Dude, I suck. I tried to take <a href=”http://www.ericd.net”>Eric D’s</a> idea (showing a MovieClip’s class name when you click on it) to fruition, but no dice…
This code works via the command menu:
<pre>var s = fl.getDocumentDOM().selection;
if(s == null){
fl.trace(“There is no FLA open.”);
}else if(s.length == 0){
fl.trace(“There is nothing selected.”);
}else if(s.length > 1){
fl.trace(“Code only shows class
of one thing selected.”);
}else{
fl.trace(“Class is: ” +
s[0].libraryItem.linkageClassName);
}</pre>
However, when I put a variant of it in a WindowSWF using MMExecute, no dice. If I had an event I could pass to the WindowSWF when something is selected on stage (instead of using onEnterFrame at 1fps, or using onMouseDown manually), or if I could hack the Properties Panel’s XUL… I could get it.
Anyway, if anyone finds a way, Eric and I would be happy!
