I've been playing with an xml feed for a semi-useful class (which I'll post when it's done)....but I've run into a small problem.The XML feed doesn't send me HTML content, it only sends text. So a node that should read.Url...So I need to work out some way of recreating these links from a text only feed. Before I give myself a headache and attempt to create a class that searches each line of text for "http://" and then searches for the next space in the text, does anyone know if this has already been done? Is there a class out there that can look at normal text and convert bits that are web addresses into links? If not, can anyone think of a more efficient way to do it than searching the text for "http://" and then looking for the next space?
View 7 RepliesI would like to embed a css file using
[Embed(source = 'mystyle.css', mimeType = 'text/css')]
private var _css:Class;
but 'text/css' is not a supported transcoder. Is there a list of transcoders that someone can point me to? I really just need it to read plain text but 'text/plain' is not available either.
the kirupa XML feed example, What i need now is to Strip URL, links out of this mess... (there are two links coming out as one)i would have to possible store it as an array, break it by "." then again by "http://" thus therefore getting individual linksright?

I have a flex (flash builder 4) application with a rich text editor control. I am storing this rich text output in a database via zend amf <--> php.
Now I want to display the first part of that text in a data grid. To do so it seems it might be easiest to get the plain text version.
I am hoping I can somehow convert it to plain text in PHP before I pass it back to flex?

View 1 Repliesis it possible to create a plain text file with AS3 or AIR?
example: i would like to create a plain text file named "MyTextFile.txt", have it contain text that reads "This is my text file." and save it to my desktop.
another option would be to have the file already exist in a directory, so i would only have to rewrite its contents - assuming that would be easier.
all of which should happen as a background process, without any save dialoge panel appearing.

When I try to load text from XML into a text field any leading line breaks or spaces are ignored. For example:

The preceding loads into the text field without the leading spaces before "some text". How can I force the spaces to appear?
I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.

I have a very simple flash program code in AS3, inside this program there is a dynamic textfield html capable. Also i have a database were i will put some information.Each element in the database can be linked to other. For example, this database will contain tourist spots, and they can be related with others in the same database.This interesting spot is near <link to="ramdo2">ramdom place2</link>. And so, so so..The information in the database is retrived by the flash application and it shows the text on the dynamic textfield. I need somehow to tell my flash application that have to be a link to other part of the database, so when the user click the link a function in flash call this new data.The database is a simple Mysql server, and the data is not yet in there, waiting for your suggestions of how to format it and develop the solution.Im a php developer too, so i can make a gateway in PHP to read the MySQL and then retrive some format to flash, an XML for example.

I've got a question I'm hoping some of you have the answer to. I'm not really much of a flash developer, but rather a small business owner that building my company's site. On the home page, I've created a simple textField which I'm reading in the latest blog posting "title" from an xml file. That works just fine, but the unfortunate thing is that the text looks awful, very crunchy. The font is a derivation of Helvetica, and when loading into a dynamic text field, looks far different from the rest of the page. I can't seem to change the textField's thickness or sharpness via AS3, nor does changing the anti-alias settings in the GUI. I've spent half my day trying various things, none have worked.

I am currently trying to pull RSS data into a project for my first time and am trying to get 3 (potentially 4) boxes filled with rss data that will be updated. So far, I am going with Actionscript 3. So far I have the code below, but it puts data in a listbox. What is the easiest way to put the data in three dynamic text boxes inside a movie clip, so I have one for the title, one for description and one for link (shown as 'read more' text but a link using the url from the rss value)?I am really banging my head against the wall on this one and want to get it sorted asap,I have also attached an image to show what I am trying to do:I also want to know if it's possible to show rss values only if they exist. For example, my xml feed currently only has 3 items that change, and i will be assigning these to boxes, but is it possible to display a fourth if it exists, and if it doesn't it just shows the first?[code]
