I am designing a web application in Flex 4 and currently facing an issue rendering advanced HTML tags and entities in Flex 4. All I want to do is basically render an HTML text coming to me something like the one given below:-
[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 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.
How can HTML entities be made to work with TextFlow (specifically TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT)? Example: ' is not converted into a single quote.
View 1 RepliesI have an issue trying to send out a url with value name pairs in different languages. Does anyone know if there is a function in flash to convert the characters to html entities before hand?
View 1 RepliesI'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.
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?
View 5 RepliesI 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 RepliesWhat 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?
View 2 RepliesI'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.
By using the attachMovie function, I create multiple entities of the same movieClip. Is it possible to detect collisions from the same, but multiple movie clips (And, with different Linkage Identifiers with each entity of the same movieClip.
View 3 RepliesI'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..
hopefully this is possible:
-1 large html (home.html) file houses 2 html files (aaa.html and bbb.html)
-aaa.html consists of 1 swf button
-bbb.html is empty
question: is it possible to click on the button in aaa.html and have the action occur in bbb.html? (for example, clicking the button in aaa.html will load a swf in bbb.html)
Following embed code is from [URL] but it doesn't work in Internet Explorer 8. Firefox no problems. Any recommendations for improvements?

UPDATE 2010-05-14: If I'm not mistaken HD.se uses Flowplayer and all those flasvars are for that. Perhaps someone here is good with Flowplayer? I've never used it myself.
I have a html/flash site now, [URL]. i access email from my site itself by giving the userid and pwd text box which i copied from the actual website hosting my email access. i copied the entire <form...></form> tag to my page and thus was able to put the name and pwd in my home page only and access the email in a separate window. now i have redesigned my webpage using only flash. i would like to know how i can implement the same using flash. as i have not much experience using action scripting i am a bit stuck about how you pass the hidden form variables. the below is the the exact form syntax:

I need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if anyone has came up with a way to float html elements, with some content, over .swf without triggering any flash events.
In my case the problem is I have flash map, and drop down menu on top of it.
I simplified this into the following example:

If you mouseover any elements in gray box, you will see that stuff behind it, in a flash file, triggers hover effects.
I was wondering if it is possible to create a flash movie that rotates values that are stored in HTML. For example if i have these 3 containers:
<div style="display:none">
<img src="someimage1" />
<span class="text1">text1</span>[code].....
I want to have some flash movie rotate these values every 10 seconds. I don't want to program it hard into flash, it has to be variable. It has to display the first set, then after 10 sec the second, and so on.Maybe if it is possible something that stops the toggle, and skip to just the second, or just the third.I also don't want to use javascript to do this (jQuery etc.), because this conflicts with another timer on the website.Is there a way of doing this?
Is there a solution to have the background audio/music play across multiple page on a website, WITHOUT restarting on every page load.The website currently uses a frameset, but I'm looking for an alternative.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf that I have created that make a few HTML posts. When I run and compile the swf locally, it successfully makes posts to my php code hosted on my domain. However when I then upload my swf to my domain, and then alter the embed tag to have a fully qualified path to my hosted swf, the swf will load correctly but it will make any HTML posts to my PHP scripts. The reason that I have an an embed tag with the fully qualified url in it, is that my goal here is to be able to place the html embed code on a number of different sites.
I have it working on a single remote site, and it has a wild card crossdomain.xml file in it. However when I try to apply a crossdomain.xml to any of the hosted sites, or to my computer locally nothing runs when the I use the embed with the fully qualified URL, if I just the locally hosted swf on my computer the HTML post work just fine. I feel this is related to the crossdomain.xml file, however I guess I'm not understanding some aspect of the security model.
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.

View 1 Replieswhen you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"
I have an Air Application that uses a HTML Component. The HTML page that the component is rendering includes images with title tags. The tags render fine outside the Air Application, but when run in the AIR application, they do not render.
