i have an mc with a textbox which i'm loading with data from an external text file. the box is set to 'render as html' but the tags in the text file are being ignored.
(i've tried everything i can think of, including starting from scratch several times...)
is there something that i'm missing, or is flash just playing up?
Has anyone else had trouble with the Render Text As HTML function in CS4? I want to use two different fonts in the one textfield. Looks fine in Flash but when I export the swf, only the first font is used.
View 16 RepliesHas anyone else had problems getting the "render text as HTML" button to actually produce that result? I've just got a blank fla with a simple, multiline, dynamic text area with the "render text as HTML" button pushed but simple tags(<b>,<i>,<p>) just show up as characters instead of formatting.
View 1 RepliesI had this line in my file before loading the XML file : XML.ignoreWhitespace = true; Even if this parameter is set, when I take the node and push it in the html textfield, all HTML is parse, I mean bold, italic, etc.., but It keep all tabulation space of my XML file
View 1 Replies1. I added a text box to my frame, set it to Dynamic Text, then clicked "Render Text as HTML".
2. If I type <div>Test</div> into the text box and hit Ctrl-Enter, it displays the text "<div>Test</div>"
3. Same thing if I enter <a href="#">Test</a>
The text is not rendered as HTML...
Tried importing an XML into the Dynamic Text box: same results. Tried HTMLEncoding the values as <div> and it says <div>.
Perhaps the "Render Text as HTML" means HTMLencoding. Anyone know how to set it to "render the HTML tags"?
I've done this dozens of time before but for some reason any new dynamic text boxes I make will not properly render the HTML in them even with the HTML control turned on.
I'm using CS3 with Actionscript 3, targeting player 9. I've tried AS 2, and different players all to no avail. I've tried embedding fonts, and not embedding fonts with no change in behavior noticed. I do want to use AS 3 (and wrote a bunch of code for it in a different file already), but even in a new empty file I'm still seeing this behavior.
I've made a real simple (one line!) file with a text box to demonstrate.
I want to import a remote html page in flash. I do not want it for rendering text as html, just the sourcecode for a page. A sort of editor for html files. When I load it, some data is missing and other strange things happen probably due to '&' in the sourcecode. Example file to load: [URL]
View 0 RepliesI'm working on an interface with an option to enter html code, and then click a button to render what's in the text box as html, and if needed convert it back to plain text to edit the html code again.I know you can change whether text boxes render their contents as html using text.html = true/false but it doesn't do it if the text box contains anything and setting the contents to "" before changing it doesn't seem to work either. Does this make any sense? If so does anyone know how I can do it?

View 4 RepliesI have HTML + CSS text. I need some lib with simple function like "Render String Var conteining HTML" So no external files (like in flash lib called HTMLwraper you just have to play your SWF on top of HTML). dinamic! I give it string it renders It into some conteiner (not as a bitmab but as if it was real HTML dynamically rendered in flash). (And I need real HTML + CSS support not what normal rich text block gives us)I am going to use it in with Flex (Flash Builder) so I like MXML component model but even pure flash AS3 will workout.It should be Free and Opensource (any license like GPL, LGPL etc will be ok).So Is out there such flashflex library for HTML + CSS dynamic rendering (rfom given String or XML)?
View 1 RepliesI have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I 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.

I know this question was asked before, but none of the solutions work properly. How do I render a basic html in flex 4 without an iframe? I saw textarea renders some weird format that would suffice if it would work. For example I wan't to add an image like this
[Code]...
then 1. I press enter 2. I add the image again like above, I get the img tag inserted 10 times or so; which is weird (but not funny at all). All things being equal, html is a much normal approach, is there a basic renderer for flex 4 that works ok?
my problem is about render xml data as html when i select the option of render as html on textfield , it will not show any thing but when i remove this option it will shows html tags without render.

I'm making a custom webbrower by Adobe Air.I would like to add a html filter function that disable javascript & iframe.If I can get html code before render, I would delete tag elements with regexp.I guess I can something with htmlloader when htmlloader's LocationChangeEvent dispatch.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash header that I show on one of my customers sites, but instead of creating an entire new website for non-flash, is there a way I can have it render a static image version of the header instead of either redirecting or just not rendering the flash content at all (ie with a FAIL message)?
View 2 RepliesWhy won't it render html in the Text-box I have? I'm using actionscript to enter the data. I already checked that the html-render is set to true. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried caps and small, XHTML and HTML versions.
View 3 RepliesSo I have a quick question. I have an xml document that has a list of items. Some with links, some without (i have removed the links for this example as I am not allowed to post links here). This works fine until my list extends passed the textbox (scroller) that I am inserting them into, at which point the list simply disapears. I am not trying to get the box to grow in height, I have a scrollbar attached to it.its the second list that gives me the problems.Actionscript:

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {

How do I link from my dynamic txt box (html) to an external movieclip (popup). The only thing I found was a
<A HREF="[URL]" TARGET="frame_Name">
What I need is a link/action from my html (AS2);
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("01_mymovie.swf", 9);
}
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 think this is almost impossible, or at least very difficult. The thing is: I wanted to make a guestbook on my site (inside flash) but my server doesn't allow me to use php. So the only other way (I think) is to use a remote script-host. So that's what I did, I found one on scripthost.com. It's a very simple one,it just changes a html-file everytime a new entry is entered. What I want to do now is to extract all the things that are in the html-file and put them in textboxes. Is this possible? I searched a little bit and I found that I could use the server side include tags to read a html-file to another html-file (inside a div) and then use javascript to read the div and send it to a textbox in flash.

I need to find a way to "upsample" text from 72dpi (screen) to 300dpi (print) for rendered client generated text. This is a true WYSIWYG application and we're expecting a ton of traffic so client side rendering is a requirement. Our application has several fonts, font sizes, colors, alignments the user can modify in a textarea. The question is how to convert 72dpi to 300dpi. We have the editior complete, we just need to make 300dpi versions of the textarea.
1) Get textarea and increase the height, width, and font size by 300/72. (if ints are needed on font size I may need to increase the font then down-sample to the height/width)
2) use BitmapUtil.getSnapshot on the textarea to get a rendered version of the text.[code]

I am designing a web application in Flex 4 and currently facing an issue rendering advanced HTML tags and entities in Flex 4. All I want to do is basically render an HTML text coming to me something like the one given below:-
[Code]....
when I add a dark glow to some text using 'Glowfilter', the text is set to use antialias for readability.When I preview my flash file the text renders incorrectly - the last few pixels on the right hand side of the block of text are missing. i.e. if I use the text 'word' then the vertical line on the right of the 'd' character doesn't render.If I change the antialias setting on the text to use device font or antialias for animation the problem doesn't happen.
