ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting HTML Entities In XML Data?
Sep 21, 2010
I'm stuck adding some links to a flash map that I didn't create myself and am having trouble getting my HTML to show properly in my XML. I've found some resources that I thought would help, trouble is that the person who set this up used what looks to be a different method than anything I can find.

I'm trying to get the HTML to work in the desc field, I've used CDATA tags which didn't yield any results for me.

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 taking feed files from an XML, so in order to make those not throw out errors when reading the XML, I convert all entities to their numerical equivalents and write them as "�" for example.This then gets imported into a database, so that it now has "�" in the database.
I then take the text in the database and use that to generate a new XML file, which still contains the "".Flash then reads this XML file and displays the text.Now I think every character is fine (haven't seen all of them, but seen many), including "" (), however, for some reason, the ï symbol refuses to work () and it just displays and not the symbol.

i've encountered this several times and wondering if there's a solution beyond actually changing the database field values...The problem is that i have string values being pushed to flash (via xml) with html character codes in them like:
"natronp&apos:s funland"
when ideally, i would get:
"natronp's funland"
Anyway to replace these in flash that i've missed? Otherwise it seems i would need a pretty heavy-duty find/replace actionscript script/class to make this happen!

In an application I'm writing, there's a chat section. Whenever anyone says something I show their name in bold, and a picture using an img tag, so therefore I make my chat area a dynamic text box with html enabled. However, this means anyone in the chat can start typing html tags all over the place and I do not want this to happen.
Is there a way I can encode a string to html entities so that I can prevent this sort of thing happening?

I am dinamically loading and external text from a text file (data.txt) into a text field in flash. That text field reads the external string as html text so I can format the text (face, color, etc) in the text field externally. Easy huh? The problem is that for some reason flash doesn't detect html entities. Example: If flash encounters an ampersand in that external text it doesn't load the rest of the text. If I use the html entity for that character (that is &) it doesn't work either. why all the html tags are recognized but not the entities?

Here is link, [URL] See featured work description at the bottom of the link above, if there is no special characters in description then refresh the page. You will see special character in description (like question mark and sometimes square box, etc.)

I have a scenario that I get an string with html data, this is not just html data it's an email (outlook) saved as an html file and dropped in the string.Now this string needs to be formatted to an html document and should be a clickable link in a datagrid. So when I click on the link, the HTML document should pop-up and should gave me a nice HTML page that is readable for the normal users. I hope it's a bit clear what I want o_0. don't know where to start.

I currently have a Flash app that gets populated by parsing data from an external XML file. However, I need to get the XML data into a (JSP) session and can't neccesarily have an external XML file--any suggestions? Can I put the XML string into a hidden input field in a form on the HTML? Can Flash communicate with that HTML? Or are one of the below methods recommended:
* FlashVars
* Flash Remoting
* Web services
* JavaScript - call JS function
* fscommand
* ExternalInterface

What I want to build is a photography site using flash for the thumbnail pages and slideshow, but have the navigation buttons their own separate flash entities. Can these separate flash button entities influence the thumbnail flash entity? The purpose of the multiple flash entities is so that I can embed it in my html and use css to position them so that it stretches or shrinks to fit a browser window depending on screen size. Or is that a bad idea?

I'm currently developing a Flex game which is a kind of table and cards game. Thinking about developing other games using entities from this one, I chose for creating my entities decoupled from the game and even from other game entities. As a result, I'm currently using events for communication between my game entities.
Game entities, in my case, refers for example a player hand component which can receive a card, or send a card to another unknown component by a custom requesting and dealing events. For instance, the same can happens to a deck of cards holder component. This approach appeared to be a good designer in the beginning, but after some time, my game controller class has a lot of event handler functions which started looking bad for me.
My current idea is to create a game event manager coupled with my game controller for handling events and cleaning the controllers code. Finally, I'm not sure about my design decision exposed above, so I would like to know about you folks which communication design would be indicated for this kind of a game.

I've got some text coming in from a database. I get:
' " " instead of single and double quotes.
I'm not sure that all fonts even support left and right double quotation marks (?).
at any rate... is there a relatively simple way to resolve this? maybe scanning the strings for the character entities and replacing them with single or double quotes?
does anyone know if Flash can recognize the ASCII entity number (e.g. ') more readily than the ASCII entity name (e.g. &rsquo?? That may be a moot point as i would have to somehow convert/replace with the entity number anyways..

is it possible to get any information/text from JQuery Alert or a simple textbox (per ID)?
My Problem: I took a picture in Air 2.5, save it to my disk, load a locale HTML file with the new picture and JQuery detects faces on it. Then I place the coordinates of the face into the html box or show it in an alert box. How is it possible to get these coordinates from HTML/JQuery? Facedetection with JQuery needs 1-2seconds in the browser.
PS: I want to do this without php. only air, flash, HTML or JQuery or another Plugin (without an extra server/apache).

I have a flash video loading in a modal window. It works in others browsers but not Firefox. Firefox opens the modal window to the correct width of the object, but with no height. I have come to learn that Firefox does not recognize <param> and instead uses the data attribute. However, when I remove this attribute, the modal opens with correct height. Here is the code the modal window loads:
<object width="720" height="520" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4">
<param name="movie" value="proxymovie.SWF?file=proxymovie.MP4" />
<img src="images/poster.png" width="720" height="480" alt="" title="Download the video below" />

Hi, i'm working on a project where i have some major functions on the page working in over a flash file, and i was wondering if there was a way to interact with the html page, based on actions made in the flash file, without having to use ajax or something like that.
I want the flash file to send some kind of data to the html page, much like a javascript, WITHOUT having to reload the page or submit it like a form action.
