Simple XML import with text and an html link and an image. For some reason the html tags are rendering as text, not html in the dynamic text field.

View 3 RepliesTrying to get a text field in my Flash MX movie to pull from and XML file with CDATA tags to show as HTML. I've checked the box to render as HTML for the text data field... but I'm having problems with the Actionscripting.
The field from this line is what I need to recognize as HTML reading CDATA tags:
this.ref["textField"+i].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString()
I know I need to do more than just change it to ".html" instead of ".text" and have tried a couple things, but nothing seems to work.
Code:
//Create the XML Object
myXML = new XML ();
myXML.load(newXml);

I have a script that draws a dot on a map and then removes an older text field popup if there and populates a new text field with some HTML text. below is the script. The individual parts work, but all I can get it to do is clear the pop up that was there.[code]
View 1 RepliesThere seem to be a lot of people with my problem but all sorts of different things fixed their issue. None of that has worked for me:
Embedding the font
rendering text as html
making the font _sans
changing AA method
im sure I've tried some other random stuff as well..
Basically I've created an order form over multiple pages for products.. everything works.. on the last page which i have named overview I have a script on the top layer which basically fills out 3 dynamic text fields with the products they have ordered.
The script works.. it loads the text into the textfields they are just not visible.
I can even select the text when I enable "Make text selectable".
I'm using as2 to place a text field with embedded fonts, whose content is coming in from xml inside of a cdata tag.When I publish the movie, all is well.When I upload the movie online, the commas in the text field appear backwards and the emdash is missing.The fonts otherwise appear to be embedded properly - it's displaying with the fonts I intended it to.Not sure why just these characters are changing online, but appear properly in the flash environment when I publish the movie?
View 5 RepliesI'm writing a scrolling shooter game and have a dynamic text field that holds the game score. Running inside an ENTER_FRAME event listener, it updates every frame. By tracing the variable "score" I get the correct numbers showing up in the output tab, but on screen, I only see the number 2. It doesn't matter what position in the number it is (ie: 20, or 10372, or 521), only that digit will show up. If there is no number 2 in the score, the field only shows the word "Score: "
The variable is declared as such:
var score:int = 0;
The text field is called scoreCard and is set to "Classic Text" and Dynamic Text" and it is 638 pixles wide (almost the entire width of the stage).
Here is the code for updating the scoreCard:
scoreCard.text = 'Score: ' + score;
trace(score);
The trace was simply put in to see if the score was being tallied up correctly, which it is.
I have also tried eliminating 'Score: ' and simply used:
scoreCard.text = score.toString();
and gotten the same results.
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'm trying to display HTML text in a text field on the stage, but the text formatting doesn't show. I am embedding all font variations in the library (arial bold and arial regular) and I even have dynamic text fields on the stage that embed arial bold and arial regular.
Still, this code does not display bold text:
myField.htmlText = "Regular and <b>bold</b>";
I have a dynamic text field which is rendering html and pulling in CDATA text from from an external xml file.I would like to create a simple table within the CDATA field... like this:
Code:
<![CDATA[
<table>
<tr>[code].........
I tried this, but it didn't work... I looked in to this and read that I could not use the <table> tag within a CDATA tag.Is there any way around this? Or is there a an alternative way to achieve what I am attempting to do?
I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.

I'm trying to use a dynamic text field to pull in html text that contains a bulleted list. Easy enough, that works. But the bullets dont take on the color assigned to the field. I've tried putting it in the html text and also using NewTextFormat and neither work. Can someone help me. This should be a simple fix, but I can't find it... I just want my text and bullets to both be white.
Simple code below. Using html text inside the flash document and having a dynamic field on the screen named txt. Code should turn text and bullets green, but it doesn't work, only text turns green
this.txt.html = true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();my_fmt.color = 0x00FF00; // hex value for green
this.txt.htmlText = "<P> This is the first paragraph</P><BR><UL><LI>Bullet 1</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 2</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 3</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 4</LI><LI><BR>Bullet 5</LI></UL>";this.txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

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

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.

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.

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

View 1 RepliesI currently have a dynamic text box that pulls from an external text file, but I want to spiff it up a little bit: I want the text box to include a series of links that go to another frame, and with another dynamic text box that pulls up the corresponding story.Basically, I want the main "news" page to be an updateable archive of links to the "news story" pages.

I am dinamically loading and external text from a text file (data.txt) into a text field in flash. That text field reads the external string as html text so I can format the text (face, color, etc) in the text field externally. Easy huh? The problem is that for some reason flash doesn't detect html entities. Example: If flash encounters an ampersand in that external text it doesn't load the rest of the text. If I use the html entity for that character (that is &) it doesn't work either. why all the html tags are recognized but not the entities?
