ActionScript 2.0 :: Setup A HTML Formatted Xml Document That Is Called Into Flash?
Oct 4, 2004
I'm trying to set up a html formatted xml document that is called into flash. I'll give you my code so you can see what I have done. Each slide represents a different content page - each will be called from a corresponding swf movie.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<slides>
<slide>
<title>Introduction </title>
[code]...
The content is loading into the flash movie, but I can't figure out how to get words bold .. I tried some CDATA as you can see but all that displays in the flash movie is <b>BOLD</b> and the rest of the content after it is just gone ...I need to be able to place the html text straight into the xml file and have it display the formatted text in the flash movie .. no clue how to achieve this .. I'm using Flash MX.

Is there any way to accomplish this? I need to make it so that overlapping pictures or things outside of the movie screen will not show while I'm editing the movie.

I want to display HTML formatted content from various sources inside a Flash Flex application. Flash supports HTML formatting in its text fields, however it is very limited compared to a web browser. Are there any scripts out there that will convert common HTML formatted text into a format that Flash can handle? My particular use cases are:Displaying HTML formatted emails inside FlashDisplaying RTF files inside Flash (after running an RTF2HTML conversion on the server)Displaying random HTML content copied and pasted from other sources into Flash

I'm using the techniques discussed in this thread on ActionScript.org to load formatted HTML text into flash. I also want to scroll said text, and for that purpose I'd like to use Flashscaper's scrollbar. I've run into a bit of a snag, however.
The text displays fine. However, the scrollbar does not appear when initiated and the mask (a red rectangle) can be seen on the right side of the content area; not the entire thing, just a red area about 5-10 pixels wide. The text can be scrolled using the mouse wheel, so the scrollbar functionality is intact. I think this has something to do with the transition within the ContentText function, but when I comment that out, the text doesn't display at all, nor does the scrollbar. Listed below are the three components to this project.
ContentText.as:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
As an update, I did get this sort of working by adding a button that brings in the scrollbar as a separate function. This works after the text's transition has completed. Perhaps I can simply tie the scrollbar function to a timer that fires when the text begins to load?

The artistName variable will contain a string with an artist's name...just an FYI, but like I said, it returns back with information, but not in XML format.[code]

I know that I can use CSS styles with HTML-formatted text in Actionscript. I have TextField, and there is HTML-text such as b and p tags. I want to change styles of those elements. I know a lot of CSS, but I don't know how to use it with Actionscript 3 and Flash. Here's my code.

How I can get this html formatted text to display correctly in the body of an email, when I am using mailto:? I am trying to avoid using a PHP aggregate, so I can use the mailto: and have it open the users email program directly. Here is what my code looks like, with the style of string that my client would like to use to populate the body of the email .
Code:
public function handleEmailClick(e) { ......
var emailVar = "mailto:"+""+"?subject="+emailSubject+"&body="+big String;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(emailVar);
navigateToURL(request);
}

I have pre-formatted HTML in a textfile. Let me know if any of this might already be an error-source- I am currently too tired to try out alternatives: The textfile looks something like this:
HTML Code:
<p><img src='biathlon' vspace='2' hspace='4' width='40' height='40'></img>Alot of text</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src='biathlon' vspace='2' hspace='4' width='40' height='40'></img>Even MORE Text</p>
<p><br></p>
It's saved as a ".txt"-file... I didn't think that would really make a difference? What I want to do is load the file and dump it directly to an HTML-enabled textfield, using something like
Code:
if (loaded) {
TickerData_txt.htmlText = this;
}
in the function connected to the "onLoad".
If I use "LoadVars" as a handler to load the file, it gives me the raw data, something like "%3Cp%3E%3Cimg%20src=%27biathlon%27%20vspace%3D%27 2%27..." (you get the idea)... If I use an XML handler, it only gives me the first entry when I use "this" to send the file's content to the htmlText-field... probably because each entry in the file is enclosed by "<p>"-tags and the XML-handler considers the file to be over once the first closing "</p>" occurs?
What would need to be added to the file to make it load it all? Or what would I need to change about the function to make sure it sends the whole content of the file? When I use "trace" on the "this" that is loaded, it actually *does* give back only what it also sends to the textfield, even though the text-file contains several rows of that stuff.

I'm trying to load html-formatted text in from a file to put in a text area (which is set to render text as html text). The htmlFile instance is of XML type and it reads in the file correctly (I traced it) but when I assign it to the text area it reads as plain text instead of html-text. I use this code on loading event:[code]

I want to make an XML document from an HTML one so I can use the XML parsing tools. My problem is that my HTML is not guaranteed to be XHTML nor valid. How can I bypass the exceptions? In this string <p> is not terminated, nor is <br> nor <meta>.
var poorHtml:String = "<html><meta content="stuff" name="description"><p>Hello<br></html>";
var html:XML = new XML(poorHtml);
TypeError: Error #1085: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</meta>".

I'm trying in vain to store and retrieve HTML formatted text in a XML node.I know it has to be held in CDATA brackets, otherwise the XML is invalid, but... this means that Flash doesn't parse the data as HTML, rather it just displays it as the raw text.

i am trying this:
open google docs, new document, and type in: hello world (world bolded)
then download it as html(zipped)
i unzip the html file, and save it to the assets folder in src folder of my Flex app
i have a Spark:TextArea instance and i want to do:
var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
myTextArea.textFlow = importer.importToFlow(htmlSource);
where htmlSource should point to the saved html file somehow
how do i do this? i tryed embedding, converting to ByteArrayAsset and to String, but i always get the source of the html file and not it's rendered rich text (ie "hello world).

1. I am creating a Flash banner to go at the top of my website that is going to animate the name for the site one letter at a time. I have this part of the banner completed as a movie symbol that I have added to my main timeline. What I was wonder is if it is possible to set a timer or some type of pause for how long I want it to wait before looping again? I dont want to stop the looping all together but would like to maybe make it pause for 5 minutes or so before starting animation again. Keep in mind it has to be done within the movie symbol becuase I have other animation going on the main timeline that will just continuously loop.
2. Is it possible to set a flash swf to the background of a html document? The reason I ask is again with my banner I am creating I have a menu bar that is about 3/4 of the ways down the height of banner. I want me primary animation to be able to move behind this menu bar. I realise I can make the menu straight in flash adding my links directly to it, but I would perfer to handle that in straight html or whatever if possible.

Basically, I have alot of text that needs to contain underlines and all that good formatting stuff that flash text can't do. So I created a dynamic scrolling text box, loaded in an external txt document containing all the right HTML tags for flash. But for some reason the flash cuts off the text. It won't show all the text I have. I noticed that it seems to be cutting it off in SOME (not all) areas where I have a hyperlink.

ow do you display HTML formatted text in a Spark custom item renderer (Actionscript)?
Sample Code:
The html content in item.post_content displays as plain text in the IconItemRenderer messageFunction snippet below (which is just the default generated code for Icon Item renderer):
<s:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<s:IconItemRenderer iconField="iconField"
iconWidth="64" iconHeight="64" labelField="post_title" messageFunction="getPost">

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 have an FLA in which there are a number of MovieClips in its library. I also have a document class for this FLA, which I will refer to as Body.as from here out.From Body.as, I call other classes designed to put stuff together and allow for organization due to large amount of MCs I have to use in the FLA. For reference, these classes are called as such: Head.as, Chest.as, Arms.as, etc etc.Now, where Body.as is the document class, and is therefore functioning to operate all areas in the FLA, I wanted to use these additional class files to be used to manage anything related to them, including any MCs I have. I'll use Head.as for explaining. To that end, I have four MCs, each named as follows:hat1hat2hathat4s part of trying to organize it all, I want to be able to call a singular function in Head.as that will retrieve these MovieClips and add them to the stage (Or, as I hope to do once I get a bit further in, add them to a larger MC that will then be added to the stage).
