HTML :: Pasted Text From Clipboard Into Excel Keep Formatting
Apr 4, 2011
I'm using Flex to generate text that will be copied to the clipboard so a user can paste a grid into Excel. For instance it might generate the following text which can be copied into Excel:
<html><body><table><thead><tr>
<th>COL1</th>
<th>COL2</th>
<th>COL3</th>
</tr></thead><tbody><tr>
[Code] .....
I have some columns that contain numbers that should be considered text, for instance they have leading zeros that shouldn't be removed. How do I set the formatting for these columns so the leading zeros don't get removed in Excel?

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.
My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.
In HTML when you assign as FONT format... font face="verdana,arial" when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.
Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?
Obviously to prevent that when people don't have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up

I have a dynamic text box, which is fed text from an external text file. The "render as HTML" button is turned on. On the external text file, what is the HTML tag for centering text? I tried CENTER, but it failed.

I am linking to an external text file, (.txt), and I am working in Flash CS3, Actionscript 3.0, and attempting to use dynamic HTML coding.The scroll bars work, but all the text after <font size=.... doesn't show up. Below is my actionscript for the text window:
var content_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("agenda.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

The Lynda book I am using doesn't explain very much about the html coding beyond adding a few <it> and <b>. When I use them they show up fine. But when I place this text in the .txt file:
<font size=14> <align=left> Blah Blah Blah </font></align>
Nothing shows up! When I take away the <font size> al the text reappears, yet unformatted.

I am using AS2 and am trying to load text with the html formatting in place. The button for render text as HTML is clicked and I tried using the action script with the same purpose. Some of the html reads, such as <b> instead of <strong>, the <p> and </br> tags are working. I cannot however get <i>, colors, etc... to work. I have embedded all of the characters and glyphs into the dynamic text field. Nothing seems to be working for several of the text attributes which are present in the .txt file I'm loading.

I 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.

If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";

I'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;

I'm attempting to parse newlines from pasted text from the clipboard into a single-lined TextField. I'd like to replace the newlines with ' ' (or any other delimiter) in the text field and have it submit text with newlines (' ' delimiter would suffice, as that's automatically parsed within my message box already).
Is there any method I could use to go about this?

So I am bringing in a blog post via xml/rss feed to the clients website. Everything is working beautifully except for the formatting. I can get it to look like I want it on my end if I ascribe a TextFormat element however, I would very much like to keep the formatting that the user specifies when they create a new blog.

I've been trying to figure out a way to use html formatting inside an xml document and have accomplished it, but the only problem is that undefined is displayed before the text???So the final result when I test the flash file is:undefinedThis is bold textHow it works is the html tags in the xml document are written using the [ brackets instead.The function searches through the selected node(s) and converts the [] to <>
Heres the code:
