ActionScript 2.0 :: CDATA Not Rendering HTML?
Jul 5, 2009
I have read through most of the numerous posts relating to this topic (and there are quite a few) but I am still unable to solve my problem. I have a simple AS2 script:
[Code]...
</example>Unfortunately (unless I am missing the concept of CDATA in xml) my text is rendered in flash as:see google <a href="http:google.com>here</a>My ultimate goal is to generate text in flash that is generated from xml and that have a link to external urls. I do not have much experience with xml in flash, i have been looking online but can't seem to figure out what to do. Any ideas?

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 have an Air Application that uses a HTML Component. The HTML page that the component is rendering includes images with title tags. The tags render fine outside the Air Application, but when run in the AIR application, they do not render.

Without including swfobject.js can only swf files be loaded through html.And if so is there a common tag for all the browsers.
<object id="myMovieName" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param value="movie.swf" name="movie">
<param value="high" name="quality">

I would like to ask when swf object rendering at the html page? Is it rendered only it's visible? If swf at the page bottom that is not visible, will swf be rendered when I scroll down? The problem is that swf object raises some events when it's rendered and I would like to force rendering even if swf object is not visible.

The CDATA is working for me, but it will not show certain HTML tags, such as
<ul><ul><li>
and
<up>
<ul><li> is fine, but if I do another level, second levels are on the first level.

I am trying to avoid having to unescape URL encoded XML nodes by using a CData node element. It is a hassle to URL encode the html to put into the XML which is then read into Flash.This is what I have so far:
Code:
//Create XML with HTML 1.0 tags
myXML = new XML('<![CDATA[<p>This is a paragraph<br><a href='http://www.amazon.com'><b><u>Link to Amazon</u></b></a></p>]]>');
//
//Create dynamic html textfield
[code]....
I know that Flash does not fully support CData, but I'm sure there has to be some workaround.I did try sending the XML toString() but that didn't change anything.
htmlXML=myXML.toString();//create var for conversion from xml to string
I want the textfield to render the HTML--not just display the tags.

trying to convert data into XML and than be readble by flash, why can't macromedia be 'normal' and have some connector that can directly connect to a SQL database
Anyway enough about my rant...
I have a WYSIWYG html editor on my website that generates flash readable HTML code and we use PHP to store the information that is generated as a .xml file to be readable by our flash file. The data is passed via XML but trying to get the HTML tags through without the XML parser thinking its XML and interfering, and I've managed to research find the CDATA tag to pass information in (i dont know much XML, just basics to get it to work) but it doesn;t work!!
When I try to HTML code that is wrapped in the CDATA than it just shows as "null" on my flash file, but if i remove the CDATA tag and put in simple text it seems to work ok! even if i put in
Code:
<b>you better work, damn you!</b> this part is not bold, but doesnt show anyway
than the part in bold shows as bold but anything after that has disappeared
how I can effeciently put HTML into flash and get flash to successfully render it as HTML?!? note I've already used a .txt file unsucessfully and it seems to have LOTS of issues with special characters

I need some very urgent help for a project that is on a tight deadline. I have a CDATA node that i'm loading into Flash that has some html in it. Let's just say this is it:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
When I trace out the xml after it is loaded into flash, it comes out as this:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
I need it to come through with the tags in tact. How do I go about this?

I am trying to get a link to work in the body text of a text block. I am using CDATA but can not get this to translate to html in the flash. I have checked that the 'Render text as html' box is checked.
Below is my AS and below that is my XML

xml menu stripped down

function CreateMenu(menu_xml) {
var items = menu_xml.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;

I'm trying to include some JavaScript (JSON 2, to be precise)in with some ActionScript 3 classes. I'm using the inline XML method (E4X) of declaring the data. It looks like this:
public static var JSON_2:XML = <data><![CDATA[
if (!this.JSON) {
JSON = function () {[code]....
Actually, this is only about a quarter of what I need to include but this is where it breaks down. Right after the second slash in the last line, Flash reports: TypeError: Error #1091: XML parser failure: Unterminated CDATA section.
In fact, as you can see this is a perfectly valid CDATA section and isn't being terminated anywhere (there is no instance of "]]>" anywhere in the data). Unfortunately, Flash doesn't think so and seems to think that the backslash is an XML node directive. how to effectively deal with this? The JSON source code has *many* backslashes so not having to convert them would be *very* useful.

I have an application that was written with Flash Professional 8/AS2 and it parses XML for rendering dynamic media content. The XML pulls text with HTML markup out of CDATA sections and places them into an html enabled text field. Everything has worked wonderfully until Flash Player 10.
Now, if we use html escape characters for greater than or less than symbols, they are being decoded by the xml parser.
Here's my example CDATA section:
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
when I grab its value using nodeValue or toString, the results are different from Flash Player 9 to 10. Here's what I'm getting:
[Code]....
In Flash 10, if I escape the ampersand, it will work, but this doesn't work in 9. for example, the following works in 10:
<![CDATA[Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>]]>
This all happens before I assign it to a text field. How do I keep the parser from destroying my escaped characters in Flash 10? Do I just need to drop support for Flash Player 9 and go for what works in 10, or is there a solution for both?

I want to use small icons to play videos from within an HTML (CSS-styled) text field in AS3. I placed the image after the text, as you normally would. But it keeps getting bumped down to the next line. I'm worried that this is just another part of Flash's busted HTML rendering.

I'm making a simple RSS reader in flash. I test the swf in Flash, it works perfectly. I publish the swf with html through Flash, and it works perfectly. However, when I incorporate the swf into a web site that I am currently developing, using swfobj 2.0 (dynamic) procedures (followed both by google code and lee's video tutorial on using swfobj 2.0), the html rendering does not work. I've tried copying the html code that comes from the Flash-published html, and paste that into the website I'm developing, but that straight out just doesnt work. I'm going to attach the AS3 code here. I pull the RSS xml info into flash, do a bit of string analysis to replace inactive links with active and cut out another snippet of the string, apply a style using an external css, and finally render as html.
Code: Select allvar loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
var xml:XML;
function onDataComplete(e:Event):void {
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.channel.item;

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?

what I want to do is render some HTML inside my Flash object. My problem is that this isn't just htmlText (for which I could use a textArea object), but text and images. Is there a component / object I can use inside Flash to render this HTML segment on the fly, or would I have to write my own HTML interpreter more-or-less (which I could do, thats just the last resort if I can't find a quicker way to do it)
