I make a XML connector component parse a XML document.In a node, there is a "<br />" (return to line in HTML)
<book>
<page>
Here some text and a <br /> here ! the code s broken up here
</page>
</book>
My XML connector considere the <br /> as the beginning or the end of a node !...How to avoid this <br /> or other any HTML element when parsing some XML ?
what is the best method for loading external XML (with inherent HTML) content into Flash and into the TextArea component?i have an image loader and a TextArea together on the screen. a "story" is loaded which will present a series of images (in the image loading) associated with a corresponding text (in the TextArea). a "story" has multiple image/text sections that are navigatied through with FRWD/BACK buttons. any given section can also have multiple sub-sections or "frames".

below is my proposed sample XML structure. i want Flash to recognize how many sections and frames within sections there are in each story XML document - in order to generate a corresponding navigation structure (a tab for each section). HTML content will be immediate availble to loadinto TextArea as user move forward in sequence with nav. and images references can also be preloaded into available MC containers to be swapped into place as user navigates forward in sequence. also need to read and store attributes for each node in the XML to come up in MCs in sequence. and must also be able to parse XML in a way to place simple HTML formatted content (within XML) into the TextArea.would Arrays be used?
<story title = "Story Title">
<section num = "1" title = "Section One Title" >
<frame image = "1.jpg" caption = "caption text
here"><b>Content</b><br><br>content

I've build a guestbook in flash, which works together with a PHP file and a textfile. The problem is that the guestbook doesn't show any special characters... In the textfile they do appear, but not in the flashfile... So flash uploads the text fine, but when it want to download the text...it leaves all the special characters out...
View 2 RepliesI see my accented characters displaying properly in my text editor. And I've confirmed that my font is OK in Flash by testing a dynamic text box--the accents in the test appear OK, so it's not the XML file or the font, it seems to be the XML loader itself.My XML file looks like this (there are Latin accented characters in the text node:[code]
View 2 RepliesI've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL database via AMFPHP.The text includes special characters such as accents,umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client. However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just don't seem to show up-instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like this are European quote characters like ' " and " (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a browser...
I am displaying dynamic content in my flash. Dynamic data is coming from XML and in flash file, html entities are not showing right, strange characters are displaying there. 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.)
View 1 RepliesI have a video player that is currently using XML for its video library which is all fine and dandy. Now I have some developers working on a CMS type page in PHP that is going to hopefully pass some sort of information to my player that will let it know where the video is stored on our server. Is there a way to do this without using FMS? If so does anyone have ideas where I can find the information for it.

I'd like to create one empty Flash movie that is essentially a placeholder for externally loaded content I can change through XML. This content would just be able to randomly load 1 of 3 photos, with a button linking to a website within each of the photos on page load. If the user refreshes the page, a new photo with it's link would appear, but I understand since it's random,having 3 images the same image is likely to reappear, but I can always add additional photos and links.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that might lead me on the correct path to create this? I've found some tuts, but they've been different than my need.
We want to be able to upload over 100+ files (if needed) to a server along with desc + keywords. I see that Flash 8 has the neccessary tools to handle file uploading, but my question is, can we have it act as a Stand alone FTP program so that we can utilize the fastest user upload, or will we be confined to the settings in the server INI settings.IE MAX_UPLOAD_TIME,MAX_FILESIZE, etc. If possible we want to avoid using the HTTP upload as it is noticeably slower. So if we can use flash to utilize user BW to upload, then that would be ideal.

I am having a problem parsing xml data, I know how to get it into as3, and that is working pretty well after following a brilliant tutorial on kirupa:[URL] But I am having a problem tracing the data that I want. Seemingly it is connecting to the database and is working in that sense but when I try to trace data I am getting a couple problems. The first is that I need to somehow specify a value of a single item to get the rest of the data. Here is the xml:

I'm being passed the following from our ASP developers: Code: DefaultValue1=Photo1.jpg::Taken 2-24-05~Photo2.jpg::Taken 2-24-05 Now I need this obviously to show an image in a placeholder and then Taken 2-24-05 Would be text for a textfield.

ActionScript Code:

function completor(evt:Event):void {
var getor:URLLoader = URLLoader(evt.target);//works
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables(getor.data);//doesn't work!
}
getData.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completor);
The first line outputs something like "&var1=something&var2=something_else". I just can't get why when I try to parse the data from the loader object into variables (second line) Flash simply stops and all the code after doesn't get executed.

So I have now tested my file with a test xml and it works just fine, but I need to get the dat from the server so it becomes dynamic. I've gotten some php to generate a xml document, but I can't get it to "be" an xml, it's just formatted like it and it's a String.
Can I somehow convert the String to a XML variable, or will I have to cut up the string and get out the info I need.
In the second case, what would be the best way to parse the data in php (what formatting)?
The xml looks like this:
Code:
<portfolio>
<project title="a name" info="Bla" thumb="files/thumbs/p1.gif">
<file title="a name" info="blabla" thumb="files/thumbs/p1_1.gif"
[Code].....
And with all those < > " = symbols I think I would have a hard time to break it apart. The result should become an Array which contains project Objects with properties and another Array to hold file Objects with their own properties.
But the general question is: String to XML, how? If not possible, how to build this xml shaped String so it can be picked apart easily?
I want to display a list box in a different way. I have uploaded the image as well i.e., what exactly am looking for and how the list box has to look. I am parsing the xml data and it's coming fine in list box. but my requirement is the look n feel of list box.

I have intercepted x-amf data being posted to a website from my computer by a flash application. I have the collected POST data in hex form. While some of it has translated directly to text, the rest is showing wierd symbols which probably means they're flash objects. How do I parse this data to get meaningful output outta it?
Basically, I need a script/program/anything that will take in amf data in the hex form, and output text and flash objects...
I have a what I thought was a fairly simple scrolling number list (like a lotto ticker) and am trying to parse the XML data to display the digits for some reason I am having some trouble.

I got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to read some data in from a sql source, some of which contains double quotes embedded in the text. I know I can strip the doublequotes, but don't want to go that route if I can avoid it. I've tried replacing to double quotes with hex codes before passing the text via parameter to my flash file, but the text string always cuts off at the hex code, the same as if the double quote were present in the string. For example:This is a "text" stringreplace double quotes with hex: This is a x22textx22 stringesults when read into flash: This is a <remainder is dropped>Yet if I type the same text string in a variable in flash, the string displays the double quotes properly:
