there my load of xml goes okay but all html styles as... strong.. colorand image dont work what am I doing wrong
AS:
var mydata:XML = new XML("data.xml")
mydata.ignoreWhite = true;
[code]......
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.
Here's what i do:
[AS]
onClipEvent (load) {
loadText = new LoadVars();[code]...........
As i could read on macromedia 's web site: Use an empty pair of <P></P> tags to insert a line break. Use two pairs to insert a line break and carriage return.But this isn't working... Why?
I have this XML File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>[code]....
now, the problem ... I cant extract the [CDATA[57.14]],[CDATA[14.29]] & ![CDATA[28.57]] to use it ... I tried several things with firstChild,ChildNodes, but no luck ... any one has a simple solution to put all this in an Array so i can get the stuff out to use it ..
The CDATA is working for me, but it will not show certain HTML tags, such as
<ul><ul><li>
and
<up>
<ul><li> is fine, but if I do another level, second levels are on the first level.
I have read through most of the numerous posts relating to this topic (and there are quite a few) but I am still unable to solve my problem. I have a simple AS2 script:

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
[code]....
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.
trying to convert data into XML and than be readble by flash, why can't macromedia be 'normal' and have some connector that can directly connect to a SQL database
Anyway enough about my rant...
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. The data is passed via XML but trying to get the HTML tags through without the XML parser thinking its XML and interfering, and I've managed to research find the CDATA tag to pass information in (i dont know much XML, just basics to get it to work) but it doesn;t work!!
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
Code:
<b>you better work, damn you!</b> this part is not bold, but doesnt show anyway
than the part in bold shows as bold but anything after that has disappeared
how I can effeciently put HTML into flash and get flash to successfully render it as HTML?!? note I've already used a .txt file unsucessfully and it seems to have LOTS of issues with special characters

View 3 RepliesI need some very urgent help for a project that is on a tight deadline. I have a CDATA node that i'm loading into Flash that has some html in it. Let's just say this is it:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
When I trace out the xml after it is loaded into flash, it comes out as this:
You are <font color='#FFFFFF'>very pretty</font>.<br><br>
I need it to come through with the tags in tact. How do I go about this?

I'm trying to include some JavaScript (JSON 2, to be precise)in with some ActionScript 3 classes. I'm using the inline XML method (E4X) of declaring the data. It looks like this:
public static var JSON_2:XML = <data><![CDATA[
if (!this.JSON) {
JSON = function () {[code]....
Actually, this is only about a quarter of what I need to include but this is where it breaks down. Right after the second slash in the last line, Flash reports: TypeError: Error #1091: XML parser failure: Unterminated CDATA section.
In fact, as you can see this is a perfectly valid CDATA section and isn't being terminated anywhere (there is no instance of "]]>" anywhere in the data). Unfortunately, Flash doesn't think so and seems to think that the backslash is an XML node directive. how to effectively deal with this? The JSON source code has *many* backslashes so not having to convert them would be *very* useful.

I have an application that was written with Flash Professional 8/AS2 and it parses XML for rendering dynamic media content. The XML pulls text with HTML markup out of CDATA sections and places them into an html enabled text field. Everything has worked wonderfully until Flash Player 10.
Now, if we use html escape characters for greater than or less than symbols, they are being decoded by the xml parser.
Here's my example CDATA section:
Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>
when I grab its value using nodeValue or toString, the results are different from Flash Player 9 to 10. Here's what I'm getting:
[Code]....
In Flash 10, if I escape the ampersand, it will work, but this doesn't work in 9. for example, the following works in 10:
<![CDATA[Here <u>we</u> go: This <node> <works>]]>
This all happens before I assign it to a text field. How do I keep the parser from destroying my escaped characters in Flash 10? Do I just need to drop support for Flash Player 9 and go for what works in 10, or is there a solution for both?
Trying 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);

This is the structure of my XML, and I tried in some ways, but I can't able to get Character DATA as XML data. Is this any way to convert CDATA into XML in AS3?
So i stand corrected. the <a href is screwing up my XML data.If I plop a CDATA tag in the XML obviously it works fine. But is there any other options to keep that tag out of the XML file?If I can somehow include it in Flash (which logically doesn't make sense) that would be great. The XML is generated server side and I can't get them to mod it.
