I'm importing an rss feed in as3 and the xml is formatted with html tags that are making the feeds that I'm puling in format weird. My main problem is break tags that are entered in by the companies system. i'm not going to be able to take them out so my question is, is there a way to single them out in the xml through as3? and Delete them? Or render them useless?[code]...
View 0 RepliesI am pulling data from an xml file which has HTML tags in it. I need the HTML tags for the on-screen display, but I am also using printJob to print what's on the screen. The problem I'm having is that when I run printjob it prints all the HTML too. Is there a way to remove the HTML tags? Maybe some sort of script? I'm thinking I could search for the beginning "<" and the end ">" and remove them and what's in between, but I'm not really sure how to go about this.
View 3 RepliesI'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
use regular expression. i want to remove content between html tags.example:
Quote: This is test content <img display='false' src="angry.gif"> image. </img>.i want to remove all the image tag which have display attribute false.
I'm writing a HTML parser in Flex (AS3) and I need to remove some HTML tags that are not needed.
For example, I want to remove the divs from this code:
<div>

I wrote a function to override y FLEX LineChart's datatips because the default datatips were ugly and rather boring.I finally set the style I wanted but am now having some problems removing un-necessary tags from being displayed in the custom datatips.For example, the datatips now display things like this:
"<b>Humidity</b></BR>2010-07-05T00:15:00"
I can always perform a "Replace()" to remove those break and bold HTML tags, but that seems really un-necessary and anti-development.I am using this to set the dataTip's label text:
var hd:HitData = value as HitData;
var item:LineSeriesItem = hd.chartItem as LineSeriesItem;
_xAxisText = String(hd.displayText + ' ' + item.xValue);

My HTML tags are not working in a dynamic text box. Im guessing it is cause of the scrolling and maybe it dosn't see <br> so it dosn't allow them. This is the code i am using below.
TextField.prototype.maxviewable = function(){
if(this.maxscroll>1) return this.bottomScroll;
var b = (this.html) ? this.bottomScroll-1 : this.bottomScroll;
if (!this.length) this.text = ">>";

I am trying to use a dynamic text box with HTML tags (<b><i><u>). I've tried loads of methods without success:
1. 3 dynamic textboxes placed on the stage with each font variant (bold,italic,regular), with embedding enabled for each. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
2. 3 font symbols with linkage enabled in the library. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
The font is not a system font btw. I have tried point 1 with Verdana and it worked. So is it an issue with a non system font with HTMl tags?
I am loading some text into a dynamic text field from an external text file using the methods described on kirupa's tutorials. I want to be able to bold some text, and make some other text links, using html...
I thought it might work if I just added the html tags to the text file, and the chose to render the dynamic text field as html..but the tags don't do anything, and are still read in as normal text.
I'm loading dynamic text from a textfile with some HTML tags in it. When I load it up, everything comes up fine except for the fact that any <a> tags remain active until the next <a> tag comes up. So there will be a whole block of text with a hand cursor that links to the previous <a> tag.
View 3 RepliesIssue: dynamic textfield created at runtime with html text doesn't display bold and italics.
Having the Font symbol in my library with the linkage name "Avenir" :

The textfield totally ignores the bold html tag. The right font is displayed but the html tags are ignored. So if I want one text field to be able to dynamically display bold and italics (html text) using a Font Face in my library...how do I do it? What am I missing?

View 3 RepliesI am browsing for a solution for about 2 hours, but I did not find anything that would help. I have a dynamic text field, and I would like to format it, (to highlight the first 2 words in red, and the rest in italics). Usually I load external .txt files and I use HTML tags for formatting the text inside. But this time I have to do it internally.

[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.
I am looking for a very basic html editor (similar to the one being used in this forum to make entries - only more basic)...which ONLY uses html tags supported by the AS2 textfield....

Everything works fine BUT 2 things: First, font colors tags don't work. If ever I use sth like <font color='0xadadad'>...</font> it won't work. However, if I use <u>...</u>, it works fine
Second, the <a href='...'>...</a> does not work either. I checked in several websites, and the solution would be to set the selectable property of the text to true.
I was wondering if flash can load html document, the way browser displays it.

I have a bit of AS and a basic text field in a movie clip for now. I've pared it down as simply as I can to the following AS:
[Code].....
I have an XML document that contains CDATA nodes with <BR> tags. I'm importing the XML and displaying it in a text box, but unfortunately the text box is actually displaying the <BR> tags, rather than inserting line breaks. I've set the text box to "Render text as HTML", and I've applied the XML data through htmlText, but it's still not working. If I insert text into the text box manually it will render as HTML, as in:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = "Testing...<br>Testing...";
But if I apply the XML node, it just displays the <BR> tags, like this:
Code:
textBox.htmlText = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
I've included a .zip attachment that contains a sample .xml and .fla file that illustrates the issue I'm having.
This is a typewriter effect but i need the XML to also read and render HTML. right now it just types out normal text and if you insert HTML it types out the HTML instead of actually rendering it.I need to insert a small image after every item in the XML.
Code:
package com.dhmpire {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
