I'm working on a project in which user data will be saved via php to an xml file on the sever. Using Kirupa's excellent tutorial [URL], I am able (now) to output to the xml file. My question is, does anyone know of a way to create the xml file so that the nodes will appear on seperate lines, as it would were I creating the XML file using Dreamweaver say.
[Code]...
Most of my experience with XML has been with image galleries where I have mostly stored information into attributes, but now I'm making a simple news display with XML. For practice. And the problem is here and I can't seem to solve it.
You see, this is my code.
Code:
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function() {
[Code]....
It doesn't actually display (empty line), but there are two empty lines that are selectable before and after the text. This boggles me, since I set ignoreWhite to true. I'd like it to display just Man, I rock, without any empty lines before or after that text. Sure, I could edit my <update> node so that the node and it's chlid text node are in the same line, but I want my XML to be easily readable.
And it's strange that everytime I use a line break (with return of course, in notepad) in a text node, Flash displays that as two line breaks. So does anyone know what's with those two lines before and after the text and why does it make two line breaks where there is one in my XML file?

Is it possible to load a text file using line breaks as a delimeter rather than having a &var= at the beginning of each line? Like by a for instance? I have a text file with about 1000 lines that I need to load/display.

Isn't there a way (as2 code?) to have flash format the text just like a browser would if it were a normal html page?

View 9 RepliesI'm new to flash and AS3, and have just figured out how toload an external XML document into a textField, which is thenstyled via an external CSS document. The styling works fine,colours change, font size changes etc... But! And here's myproblem, when the xml data is loaded into the textfield, where Ihave nested styles, it creates a line break.I have created a textField on the stage with an instance nameof: eventsContentTextFieldWhich is set to dynamic, scrolling (with a UIScrollBarcomponent), html and multiline.

For some reason or another, after a </strong> or </em> tag, flash inserts a line break after it.
So it is like this:

I am developing an admin tool for a client. There is a textarea in the tool that the client will type out a description for the video he wants to upload. This description sometimes might have a few paragraphs. I am pushing the data from the textarea into an HTML file and saving on the server so that it integrates with his site. My question is, how do I detect the line breaks in the text area and change them to HTML breaks <br> once the user submits the data?
example:
Hello, this is a test.
should be turned into:
this is a test.<br><br>?
I've finally got XML information coming into my text field. Only problem now is that there for every line break in the text, Flash reads it as two line breaks, for example:
XML:
Line 1
Line 2
Flash:
Line 1
Line 2
I found that you can just use the <br> tag in the original text or if I'm using actionscript to input the text I can use or but what if I'm using text generated by a CMS which my client needs to be able to use?
I know you can identify line breaks when working with text files by checking the character equivalent, but is this possible to do with htmlText?
I am making a text editor for my client and I am using the textArea component as the input field with the data stored in an XML. All's well, except for the line break--the textArea is rendered as htmlText so that the client will be able to see the changes made instantly. By default, it works, but the spacing is all screwed up (indents, double-spaces at times), so I decided to condense the whitespace. With this on, it gets rid of the spacing issues since the html is being rendered exactly as coded. The thing is, hitting enter in the textArea does not add <br /> to the htmlText code.
Do i need to overwrite the Enter key with a custom function that inserts a ine break when using the textArea, or is there a way to detect and convert these line breaks in htmlText?
I have a input textfield 200x150 where customers can write their address.

How can the line break be recognized in the Text field, so the text arrives in the format as written? The text field also has a >restrict<, it does not allow
Previously I had posted a thread about trying to format and xml file with line breaks and indents when writing XML files using the xml.sendAndLoad method.I was looking for a way to write the xml like this[code]...
I thought I had solved this by converting the XML to a str in which the line breaks and indents were added in the appropriate places, but as yet I haven't been able to write it to an XML file. I can write a text file using LoadVars, but this isn't useful as the formatting isn't preserved.
I have a site that compiles to Actionscript 2.0 and Flash player 8. This site utilises XML output from ASP.Net driven database pages. The problem I have is basically that where I have some tabstops set, in certain cases, where the text starting from the first tab stop is over a certain length an unwanted line break is output just before the last word in the entry. (I know it's always the last word since if I put another word on the end of the string the word that was originally on the new line is back in it's proper place - so it doesn't appear to be length related).
Effectively, what I want is as follows:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3
header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
What I'm getting is something like this:
header1: Descriptive text header 1
header2: Description header 2
header3: Description header 3 with a long
description header4: header 4 text
Descriptive text here across multiple lines
The Xml I am loading is as follows (This has been anonymiezd and the angle brackets changed to '[]')
[?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?]
[config scrollPosition="right" styleSheet=".stylesheetscv.css"]
[text][textformat tabstops = "50,540,590"]:[tab /]T[tab /]T[tab /]T[tab /]:[br /]
[list_by]CV Entries By Date[/list_by]
[Code] .....
There are appropriate closing tags further down the file. The CSS that relates to this is:
headertext {
display: inline;
color: #008000;
} itemheader {
display: inline;

In order to get the CSS to overide the settings of the dynamic text field I use an empty TextFormat object tFormat. The XML is loaded with ignoreWhite set to true. Or can I not see the wood for the trees?
I'm trying to split my text at the line breaks, but it won't work. My text is something like this:

Each item is from an XML tag, but I can't keep it as XML, for my own reasons which I won't get into. I form the text thusly:
ActionScript Code:
for (i = 0; i < myXML.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = myXML.childNodes[i];
for (a = 0; a < node.childNodes.length; a++) {

I need to send the contents of an input textfield by GET to a php script. The problem is the input must be multiline, but cannot allow line breaks orelse it messes up the GET query. Is there anyway for me to replace the line breaks with a html encoded line break (I tried restricting the textfield to specific characters, but the return still caused line breaks)?

Is there any way to count line breaks within htmlText? It doesn't look like using
Code:
indexOf("<br>");
will work because the renderer has already created the textfield display by the time this code would run. So there wouldn't be any tags to find, just rendered text.
I have a string (from xml) I want to display on stage. Currently I have a text field that I am simply assigning the text to (no problems) but I want to add line breaks at certain points.after reading this line:
"If the text includes a line break (for example, "
" or "
"), the bottom is also resized to fit the next line of text."

I got the impression that I could add a string to text with a line break in it? If I try and add it to my xml file it simply writes it out as normal characters.
I am fairly sure I can do it by showing as HTML but was wondering if there was another way ?

when I put WordWrap on in an input textfield, all characters off the width of the textfield get put on the next line. However, when I look at the htmlText property of that textfield, I see no evidence of such a line break.I've learned that's because it's a soft line break, and not a hard line break. My app has a feature that requries me to know the number of lines in the textfield. I had been calculating this by simply scanning through the htmlText property of the textfield and counting up the presence of "</p>". However, the wordwrap soft line breaks don't leave any evidence of such in the htmlText property
