View 3 RepliesI'm reading text from a text file and displaying it into a text field. The problem is when i read it doesn't display the text as it is in a text file. For ex - See below imageNow , as you can see, second line in the text file starts right where first line ends.But flash doesn't display it like that. I have hundreds of lines and in most cases flash spaces consumes less space then a text file. The font in both text field in Flash and notpad is to Arial so the font shouldn't be a problem.
View 8 RepliesI've written some code that takes user input and adds it to some other static text which is then sent to php to be written to a text file. The file is just plain text but has the .xml extension so it can be used as a source of data. Because of the XML content the text has to contain quotes so I am looking for ways to escape the double quote characters with " or using the alternative method of using a mixture of double and single quotes to differentiate content I want in the text file and the quotes that define the boundary of the text string. The code is working but the resultant XML looks wrong, with double quotes being written as " even though I used the double/single quote method, so I'm a bit baffled why this is happening. Here's my code:

All the double quotes are being written as " which is the escape character instead of the actual character - anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

This works fine. Similarly I read the text from "images2.txt" and load the array2.Now my question is Can I load both array1 and array2 by reading from a single text file? If so, what should be the format for my combined text file.Shown below is the format for my individual text files.
"images1.txt"
Images1=a1.jpg|a2.jpg|a3.jpg|a4.jpg|a5.jpg|a6.jpg
"images2.txt"
Images2=b1.jpg|b2.jpg|b3.jpg|b4.jpg|b5.jpg|b6.jpg

does anybody have a good explanation of the as operator? On one hand it seems to me, that it is often better to use as instead of instantiating a new object.But then there are situations, when this operator let's me down. For example when loading a text file in XML format through an URLLoader:
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
trace("completeHandler: " + loader.data);[code]...
Why do I have to use a constructor here? Why can't I say var x:XML = loader.data as XML; and save some memory?

Is there a trick to this.
Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).
