ActionScript 3.0 :: Extract HtmlText To String With Tags?
Feb 15, 2009
I'm working on a textField overflow system for a project at the moment.I cant find a way to return a textField's htmlText complete with the original html tags.The system is used for splitting up a textField above a particular height into two textFields so the side of each other. The system works perfectly with unformatted text, but I cant seem to extract the formatting tags out of the left textField and apply them to the right - all I can get is plain text. (The system uses a StyleSheet by the way - so it is applied to both textFields).I 've tried:
Code:
if (leftField.textHeight > contentHeight) {
//var rightString:String = new String;
var lastLineIndex:int = leftField.getLineIndexAtPoint(10, contentHeight - 5);[code]...........
The commented out code represents the alternative method I've tried (still fails).

I'd like to remove the font tags from the htmlText string produced by a TextField leaving the surrounding nodes and any bold etc tags within intact.
Example partial output of htmlText:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="ChampagneLimo" SIZE="18" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Lorem Ipsum</FONT></P>
My plan was to avoid trying anything with regex and create an XML object.
However if I create a new XML object containing a root node and then attempt to appendChild the htmlText string so that I have a valid XML object to manipulate I run into a problem with html entities, see example below:
<html><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="...
How can the font tags be stripped from htmlText and how can I create a valid XML object from the htmlText string? My plan was to use the XML replace() method

I have the following code in AS3:
var str:String = '<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Lo<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">re<FONT FACE="GG Superscript">m</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="GG Superscript"> Ip</FONT><FONT COLOR="#990000"><FONT FACE="GG
[Code]....
It seems htmlText is rearranging the html tags. Even though the output is the same, I need the original html back since I am making a text editor and the AFTER htmlText is messing up my tag calculations.

A friend is building a blog, with entries placed in a database, pulled out with php, and then passed to flash. It all goes well except for one thing...problems with html. She's using a tutorial from webmonkey and here's all the actionscript, as it originally was created:
Code:
//function to load external data using the loadVars() object
//l=name of loadVars object
//n=name of text field [code]....
the result: everything loaded in the .swf except the title of her entry over the entry itself. There is a bold html tag around that part, she removed it and voila! The title appeared. But now there's another html tag that starts off a line of code, and it's failing. Click on the entries, and nothing loads except the - between the date and title. Here is that section of code:
Code:
for (i=0; i<this.n; i++) {
n.htmlText += "<u><a href='asfunction:_root.loadArc,"+this["id"+i]+"'>"+this["title"+i]+" - "+this["date"+i]+"</a></u><br>";
}
She found that by hardcoding a variable defined by the loadArc function, which is pulled in as arcNum, the whole thing works...but of course, can only pull in one entry with the one id number she coded.She also has removed the <u> tags, but the <a href must obviously remain to make her entries clickable.why having html at the front of this statement in the for loop is causing the entire line to fail, and no variable to pass? It's an interesting stumper. To see this in action, here is the page: http:[url].... In that directory you can also find the .fla file and the php results from the database. Tester.html is her second flash movie, also in that directory and completely barebones, and she received the exact same results.

I'm importing text in from an xml file and i'm using htmlText to try to keep some styling with tags. I have both the regular and bold face font embedded, and the bolding works fine. The problem is that it ads spaces around the words in bold like a paragraph indent and then makes a line-break after them. What's going on, is there a way to fix?
fromxmlText.htmlText = theXML.contenttext;
If I pull the text in from a txt file it will work fine, but taking it out of an xml file causing funky formatting.

Am working on a flash component that is supposed to display some dynamic text which might include HTML formatting. This text is displayed in a label component (AS3), and i would want it to render correctly, like create a line break when <br> is inserted, but it doesn't!
So am wondering what the supported HTML tags in the label component, and in general all other flash components?

I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?

I'm working on a project and I'm encountering an issue with Flash's sporadic support of HTML 1.01 for textboxes that use .htmlText.The "Title" attribute is not supported for showing tooltips when you hover over the link.For instance, in an HTML document, a href='index.html' title='Click Here' will show 'Click Here' in a hovering tooltip box. It doesn't display in Flash.Anyone know of a good work around? I found this page: have yet to get it working with my text. For instance, I have one textbox, and the URL links are set for various words. This means I don't have the coordinates to set my X and Y for the fake hover effect.

I currently have two problems with Flex 3 htmlText.
1) When I am setting my text's htmlText:
myText.htmlText = <html text stored in my mysql database>
It calculates the height way wrong. In most cases, a ton of padding (or whitespace) is added above and below the text. I am not sure what happens, but it calculates the textHeight way higher than normally.
2) If I put <span> tags in my html, it automatically strips them out (instead of just ignoring them). I am using the span tags to be able to dynamically find certain pieces of my text. For instance:
<span class="salutation">Dear,</span> <span class="tag">[First Name]</span>
is inserted in my htmlText, and I use them to parse out the salutation and tag of my variable data.
Any alternative ideas on how to parse out pieces of html? Any way to improve htmlText? How to correctly measure textHeight and/or remove padding?

I am working on a simple video game where, when a randomized character is struck, an "explode" function kicks in creating an "explosion" unique to that randomized character. The difficulty is that when this._name is passed through the function, the movie clips have numbers assigned/attached to them. Here is the basic code that is found inside a class (foe.as)[code]...

I'm trying to target a specific tag and its children with a function I have.I have two functions written basically the same, except one is trying to reference a target. For some reason on the one trying to reference a target, I get the XML tag names still attached to the URL. Does anyone know why this would happen in one function and not the other?Working function:
Code:
function fileLoaded(event:Event):void {
myXML = XML(event.target.data);

My htmlText in AS2 looks like:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold" SIZE="20" COLOR="#A68500" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Detroit Central City</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial Bold" SIZE="20" COLOR="#A68500" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">has served over</FONT>
[Code].....
This replaces the 2 but of course also replaces all the other instances of 2 in the htmlText as well. Is there any possible workaround? Can I exploit the fact that the other 2's are inside quotations and someone not mess with those ones based on that fact?

to restrict the maximum number of characters on a TextField by applying the maxChars to 30. This call exists before applying the html text to the TextField. For some reason nothing happens.textfield.maxChars = 30;var str:String = "<p><h3>Quisque id velit risus, vitae dictum sapien.</h3><p>Fusce aliquam nunc id risus lobortis in malesuada mi pellentesque.

I have been trying to figure out how you could add in custom attribute tags that flash can recover.
EX:
<param name = "movie" value = "somefile.swf">
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400">
Except, that I would like to add a Custom tag, like "randNum" so that the tag user could input some number, or rather, a flash movie could generate a tag with a number already put in...Basically, heres a really basic version of the idea.There is a Flash Movie.In the movie, you can input text into a textfield.Upon finishing your message, you click a button "save".
The flash movie then:
1. Comes up with a random number unique to the message.
2. Assigns that number to a variable... "randNum".
3. Saves message as a xml file to the server as "filename" + randNum.
4. Outputs into a textfield a generated HTML tag that a user can post on myspace and such so that it will load in the flash movie.
Except... in the tag, there will be a custom attribute. If the random number variable "randNum" was 00112233, the custom attribute will be 00112233.
EX:
<embed src = "somefile.swf" width = "550" height = "400" randNum = "00112233">
So when the movie opens, it retrieves that randNum from the tag and can use it inside flash. How can this be done? Sorry this post was so long, but I wanted everyone to understand the concept.

I've no experience in action script and just need to find where the files that are referenced in this script are located on the server. I believe the referenced files are SWFs and it appears that the URLs are dynamically written, but I can't crack the code.

var movie_magHeight = 1400;

After installing Adobe Flash CS4 and saved some of my files in that application they suddenly can't open anymore!
I've tried to re-install both CS3 and CS4 and none of them will open my .fla anymore :-(
I've even tried to format my entire computer, installed it again but still no luck.
Therefor I have re-coded my entire web-site from scratch once again (pheww!) but I need all the text which is saved in my .fla (or .swf).
