Trying to bring in an xml document that contains HTML tags but I can't seem to get it working.
I have a bit of AS and a basic text field in a movie clip for now. I've pared it down as simply as I can to the following AS:

I have HTML file, I changed its extension to .XML.I'd like to convert HTML tags to valid XML document using AS3.

trying to work with "simple" XML for the first time. I'm building a small CMS for a Flash based site and the content is held in an XML file. My problem is that many of the copy fields are XML CDATA fields. on the one hand, with:
$xml = simplexml_load_file($file, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
I can pull the data out of that node and the CDATA tags are stripped. My issues come with trying to save the data with:
file_put_contents($file, $xml->asXML());
Problems are: a) tags are interpreted with their HTML entity equivalents. I don't want this to happen.I gather this is coming from the asXML method because even if I do anhtml_entity _decode on the $_POST data it's still being converted.
b) because of the above, there's no way to add the CDATA tags because they also have their charachters converted.
I am looking for a very basic html editor (similar to the one being used in this forum to make entries - only more basic)...which ONLY uses html tags supported by the AS2 textfield....
View 1 RepliesI'm using a custom tooltip in order to be able to use html tags. The method I used is described here.I'm using SDK v.3.5. I also did a little hack so that the TooltipManager.tooltipClass would work (check this post for more details).Here's some code.
HtmlTooltip.as:
public class HtmlTooltip extends ToolTip

Everything works fine BUT 2 things: First, font colors tags don't work. If ever I use sth like <font color='0xadadad'>...</font> it won't work. However, if I use <u>...</u>, it works fine
Second, the <a href='...'>...</a> does not work either. I checked in several websites, and the solution would be to set the selectable property of the text to true.
I was wondering if flash can load html document, the way browser displays it.
View 1 RepliesI have an XML document that contains CDATA nodes with <BR> tags. I'm importing the XML and displaying it in a text box, but unfortunately the text box is actually displaying the <BR> tags, rather than inserting line breaks. I've set the text box to "Render text as HTML", and I've applied the XML data through htmlText, but it's still not working. If I insert text into the text box manually it will render as HTML, as in:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = "Testing...<br>Testing...";
But if I apply the XML node, it just displays the <BR> tags, like this:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
I've included a .zip attachment that contains a sample .xml and .fla file that illustrates the issue I'm having.
This is a typewriter effect but i need the XML to also read and render HTML. right now it just types out normal text and if you insert HTML it types out the HTML instead of actually rendering it.I need to insert a small image after every item in the XML.
Code:
package com.dhmpire {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;

i am loading all my text content from an external XML file....now i want to use html tags in that file (XML)....
View 4 RepliesCode:
TextField.appendText()
instead of
Code:
TextField.htmlText+=..
but I can't get it working when I use html tags in my strings. For instance:
Code:
tField.htmlText +="<TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN='14' LEADING='3'><FONT FACE='MetaPlusBold-Roman' SIZE='12.5' COLOR='#D9098C'>" +xml.*.@*[i].toString()+"<BR>"+ "</FONT></TEXTFORMAT>";
doesn't show the text.
in the attachment, you'll see the text display is quite awful despite the fact I embed Arial font in my application.
View 2 RepliesI have several paragraphs of text that is using the scrollBar component to give me some scrollability that part works fine. I also have the "render text as html" box checked because I have some HTML formatting going on. Anyway, all of a sudden the published SWF file started ignoring the bold tags <b>. It used to work fine. Now, anywhere that I have text surrounded by <b> HTML tags, it just omits that portion of my copy once the file is published. When I change the tags to <strong>, the text comes back, but in a normal font both with the fonts embedded and without ... neither makes a difference with this issue. I've also tried checking and unchecking the "render text as html" box and that doesn't seem to make a difference. Has this bold tag become deprecated? I'm having difficulty get a font to display as bold.

For example there are some html tags
<div id="test"><div><div>testtest</div></div></div></div></div></div>
From that html, I need to get this
<div id="test"><div><div>testtest</div></div></div>
Current regex /<div id="test">.*(</div>){3}/gim
"I have a site I made that I am streaming video on, its starting to look pretty cool but
the menu I made in CSS is always under the video so some of the links dissappear behind the object, does anyone know if I can fix this, I think I tried z-index one time to no avail?
Is there a way to read html tags from xml files as a text and then display them in a text box with htmlText?
I know one way of doing that is replacing anyother letter instead of "<" or ">", but the client will directly replace html text in the xml file
I'm creating a new website, and it has to be fairly dynamic. So, I load everything through one XML document. Now, depending on the content of a certain child in each menu, it loads a new page. There are going to be about 10 pages, to choose between.
So, I start coding, and all the content works fine, but my html tags won't work. I've activated the "render as html" button, in the textField parameter (the instance name is: "nyhedText"). I've also written, nyhedText.html = true; and nyhedText.htmlText = theContent - not the exact same names, but it is the same code.
My entire code for the page is:
[AS]// defines the variable model1_spacing
var model1_spacing = 0;
// defines the variable model1_count
var model1_count = 0;

I am pulling data from an xml file which has HTML tags in it. I need the HTML tags for the on-screen display, but I am also using printJob to print what's on the screen. The problem I'm having is that when I run printjob it prints all the HTML too. Is there a way to remove the HTML tags? Maybe some sort of script? I'm thinking I could search for the beginning "<" and the end ">" and remove them and what's in between, but I'm not really sure how to go about this.
View 3 RepliesI'm importing an XML document into a flash movie. The XML is using HTML tags so that I can highlight certain words and use HTML links in the text field the data is being loaded into.
But the issue I'm having is that all of the < and > tags and all information within it being displayed within the text field.
The text field's html property is true. The text field's multiline property is true. In the XML document, the text that I'm having load into this text field is separated by the CDATA tag so that it doesn't get parsed out.
I just can't figure it out. Before I used the CDATA tag, I put all the necessary < and > tags in place, and I'm getting the same results.
I don't know why everything is being displayed even though I'm rendering this text as HTML.
I designed my friends site entirely in Flash, but now want to add things like meta tags. I've done extensive searching and found the best (or only) way to do this is to open my index.html page in dreamweaver or textedit and add them there. Sounds easy enough but when I open my html page to look at the code I get this error:
// Provide alternate content for browsers that do not support scripting
// or for those that have scripting disabled. Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash.
I have Flash Player installed.
I've searched all the web and Flash Help, found some tutorials but still can't make my dinamic text load a XML file with bold and italic on it.My dinamic text fild is set to HTML format and the XML is like that:[code]
View 2 RepliesI am wondering if any of you have encountered this issue before. I still haven't figured this out.
I have an xml that looks something like this:
<data>
<property><name><![CDATA[<b>patrick</b>jones]]></name></property>
</data>
The CDATA avoids flash from breaking that node in two because of the html tag.
When I pass that node text into a dynamic text field in flash (set to render as html) the text is not displayed properly: you literally see <b>patrick</b>jones
if I trace the variable that contains that text to be passed to the text field, it actually displays: <b>patrick</b>jones It might have something to do with it. The < > signs are written as ampersand plus lt or gt.
I'm loading some info from an XML document. In the custom tags in the XML doc is text, this text gets loaded into flash and then populates a text field (so different XML elements being referenced, and then amalgamated into one text field)So I have...
Code:
_root.care.htmlText = "<b>Fabric</b><br />"+nFabric[0]+"<br /><br /><b>Features</b><br />"+nFeatures1[0]+"<br />"+nFeatures2[0]+"<br />"+nFeatures3[0]+"<br /><br /><b>Care

I have XML written using PHP taken from a database, which flash then uses to print out iinto a flash file dynamic text box. It all works fine as required, apart from not rendering html tags properly within the textfield, such as <p> and <b>. Below is my php, wrapped in the CDATA tags:
[Code]......
the textfield (mytext) is obviously within movie clip - theMovie - movies. As i mentioned the text is getting printed out fine from the database, but it ends up being just one block of text without formatting, and the tags that should be html are being taken and written literally.
Is there anything glaringly obvious that I'm not including to make sure that <p> tags and <b> tags etc. are rendered correctly, rather than just writing them out as "<p>" in the textfield?
My HTML tags are not working in a dynamic text box. Im guessing it is cause of the scrolling and maybe it dosn't see <br> so it dosn't allow them. This is the code i am using below.
TextField.prototype.maxviewable = function(){
if(this.maxscroll>1) return this.bottomScroll;
var b = (this.html) ? this.bottomScroll-1 : this.bottomScroll;
if (!this.length) this.text = ">>";

I have managed to get rid of unwanted line breaks and returns in the RSS text I am bringing in to populate my dynamic text fields. The Dynamic Text fields are set up not to render text as html, are multiline and have the fonts embedded. I keep seeing things like, <p style=""> at the beginning of the story or <THI.TO> in the middle of the story. Is there any way of deleting anything that appears as <anything> and replace with a space? Here is the code I am currently using to eliminate the line breaks. Also is there any way of turning hyphenation on?
View 2 RepliesI am loading some content into a Flash Text Area component via an XML file, within the XML I am formating via HTML, problem is flash only seems to recognize some tags and not others. For example it has no problem with the <p>, <br>, <ul> tags, but refuses to recognize any image or anchor/link tags. here a sample of my XML
<pageText>

I'd like to remove the font tags from the htmlText string produced by a TextField leaving the surrounding nodes and any bold etc tags within intact.
Example partial output of htmlText:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="ChampagneLimo" SIZE="18" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Lorem Ipsum</FONT></P>
My plan was to avoid trying anything with regex and create an XML object.
However if I create a new XML object containing a root node and then attempt to appendChild the htmlText string so that I have a valid XML object to manipulate I run into a problem with html entities, see example below:
<html><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="...
How can the font tags be stripped from htmlText and how can I create a valid XML object from the htmlText string? My plan was to use the XML replace() method
I am trying to use a dynamic text box with HTML tags (<b><i><u>). I've tried loads of methods without success:
1. 3 dynamic textboxes placed on the stage with each font variant (bold,italic,regular), with embedding enabled for each. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
2. 3 font symbols with linkage enabled in the library. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
The font is not a system font btw. I have tried point 1 with Verdana and it worked. So is it an issue with a non system font with HTMl tags?
I posted this before but I might not have posted correctly. I am importing an XML feed into a module I am working on. The text that is coming in has html tags mainly break tags that are adding a considerable amt of space between each paragraph. can some one point me in the right direction as to how I could find and replace the break tags with nothing so the would go away? Ive googled all morning but I cant find anything thats leading me in the right direction.
