ActionScript 2.0 :: Retrieving HTML Object Tags And Displaying Them In Flash?
Sep 29, 2008
I'm trying to retrieve values that are embedded in the object tag on the HTML page. Is this possible? I've been trying to find how to do this, but all hits point out to how to embed flash in HTML and rarely do I find on which tells me how to retrieve data from HTML into flash.
Example:
Code:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
[Code].....
How can I simply trace the value in flash??? Just for now, all I want to know is if I make a dynamic text box in flash, can it display the name of the .swf by reading the param?

"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?

I am working on a department website that needs to be standards compliant (xhtml 1.0 transitional), but embedded flash keeps breaking the validation. We use the <embed> tag because we need to support most major browsers.
We can't use external tools, since the site is managed through a system and the admins don't like us putting extra tools (like JavaScript libraries etc) that could interfere with their template engine.
How widely supported is the object tag? Is it safe to use only the <object> tag and remove the <embed> tag all together?

I'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 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?

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>
<![CDATA[
<html>

these are basically input fields, but for some reason they are passing all the html tag assigned to the flash textfields. (used to style the flash components) is there a quick way to kill that with either php or flash??

I'm experiencing problems with HTML tags within textfields (multiline textfields). HTML rendering is activated. Fonts are embedded for bold and regular Verdana. In AS3 I also have declared the field as html (instancename.htmlText = "tekst".Now I have all my html code in a sql database which load through php. The whole text loads including the bold, underlined and italic htmltext make up.The problem is that the text on line 1 shows as:"8: you must click ok" (<b>8:</b> you must click ok<br>)But the text on line 2 shows as:" : submitting" (<b>9:</b> thanks for submitting <br>)I have checked the html tags over and over and there is no fault in that.

I am trying to convert our all-flash website to HTML 5.But since so many users still use IE and other browsers that do not support HTML 5 yet,I am looking for some flash media players that can replace <audio> and <video>. My google skill does not yield good results.The flash media player should dispatch events specified at https:[url]..._audio_and_video_in_FireFox (or at least talk to javascript some how for those events).Do you know a flash media player that can easily be embedded inside <audio> or <video> and talks to javascript for events?

I usually manage to make my textFields work properly.I have this TextField that I inject HTML formatted text (contained in a XML file). For some reason, almost all my tags are ignored (<b>,<i>,<u>,<ul> and <li>). I can only get it to render <br /> tags properly. I could use a StyleSheet, but I don't think it would make my lists work...Here's how things are set up:
Text I inject:
<text>
<![CDATA[<b>Some bold text </b>and some normal text <br/><u>This text is underlined</u> normal text to compare<br/><i/>This text is italic</i>]]>[code].........
Edit: So I decided to test having no CDATA in my XML, and adding the <b> tag in my AS3 code. Didn't work either. I don't get how I can have my fonts correctly embed, but Flash refusing to use them.

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.

Am working on a flash component that is supposed to display some dynamic text which might include HTML formatting. This text is displayed in a label component (AS3), and i would want it to render correctly, like create a line break when <br> is inserted, but it doesn't!
So am wondering what the supported HTML tags in the label component, and in general all other flash components?

I'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
{[code].....
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'm working on a project which allowing end users to embed a flash in their own HTML pages while we offer different ways so user could choose one that works for their circumstances, for example, most blogs doesn't welcome users to inject JavaScript on their pages, therefore SWFObject wouldn't be possible, we offered two other ways: IFrame and the oldie but goodie Object/Embed pair. Just like old Youtube embedding code:

I'm basically loading an XML file to assign instances of a movie clip a distinct value, which it uses to modify its height. So, I'm looping through the xml and instantiating my class Object each time (Rect) and then placing that Object into an array:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded){
if(loaded){
var boxArray:Array;
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
[code]....
the trace here always comes up undefined. "listPosition" in this bit is an Rect parameter, defined in the previous bit of code as "i", so I can keep track of the order of the stack.I've found one or two examples of putting objects into an array and getting them back out, but it doesn't seem to work with this, maybe because I'm using a class. I don't know.Could this be an area where I need to use the array access brackets, like around the movie clip the object is loaded into. I've tried everything I can think of -- referencing back to the movieclip, adding extra objectRef type parameters... nothing has worked yet.

I can see it on my computer in internet explorer just fine (I must have installed something that is needed, or set up IE in some way, I guess).. but its not working on quite a few other computers I've tested it on - this is what they see:
Either a message of something that needs to be installed should be shown to the user, or something in the code itself..

The site I'm making uses a tabbed navigation and MooTools to fade the pages in and out. One of the pages has a Flash player embedded on it, and all of the others consist of pure HTML. The problem occurs on the HTML pages -- somehow the Flash player is causing the HTML pages to display oddly. Vertical borders and text will be jagged in the same locations of the top and bottom of the player.!

I have a big flash application and I want to display a HTML page inside. (it needs to work in IE 6/7/8, FF 3.x). I've tried setting wmode to opaque or transparent. This does not work, flash has a bug with textfields. And there are lots of other bugs, for example: [URL]. Is it possible with some tricky IFrames?

I 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.
