Flash MX - HTML Parsing Problem: Custom Extension File Won't Parse As HTML

I am using Flash MX.

The problem is, I have a movieclip in my main timeline. This movieclip has a main key and a refresh key, which updates the dynamic textfield's contents with a loaded variable named content. The variable content is stored within a file named readme.ifh. When I load the variable in the textfield, it shows me the source of the HTML, not the rendered version.

What's wrong (and yes, I do have the "Render as HTML" option checked)?

[f8] Problem Parsing Html From .xml File
Hi Everyone,

it's me again. Hopefully someone will be able to help me this time. i've looked far and wide about this, and already put some examples to use, but it's still won't work.

I'm still working on my tarot card game, and it works fine so far, except when i started working on parsing html tags from my external .xml file to my dynamic textfield displaying text that relates to the tarot card the user has drawn.

I start off with loading some variables from an .xml file (the title of the card set, and the number of cards [noCards]). Next, i load the images of the cards from another .xml file (using the previously loaded variable of the number of cards (noCards) in the set). this works fine. The last .xml to load is the one containing the texts to the cards. The problem here is that it does, of course, load the first entry in the .xml file (where i still = 0), but then spits out the rest as 'undifined', as if it can't use the loaded variable of the number of cards (noCards). But the previous function loading the images worked fine, so i don't understand why it suddenly doesn't work.

Also, when tracing that first loaded text, it shows the html tags in the output window. Since i'm new to xml, i don't know it that's correct or not. As well as that, when trying to just view the text that WAS loaded, and it's corresponding image (the first entries in their respective arrays that they have been saved into), it did not show the text at all. Anyway...

Here's part of my .xml file:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<JOGO>
<CARTA><![CDATA[20 Der Altar - Wenn du diese Karte gezogen hast, scheint es an der Zeit zu sein, dass du etwas ganz allein für dich hast - etwas, was dir Kraft schenkt.]]></CARTA>

Parsing HTML Tags From Text File
I have a text file with a variable declared parsing out text within a paragraph element like so:

Code:
networkingText=" Networking in an interesting field if you are creative, driven, and eager to learn about the growing world of technology.";
I set my text field to be dynamic, render as html and give it an instance name of networkingText_txt. The text loads fine in my action script layer but I can't get rid of the paragraph tags in my text box. In other words, the HTML tags are not parsing out correctly.

Am I missing something?? Any hints would be appreicated.

Parsing HTML Within Text Loaded Via An XML File
Hello Kirup-gurus,

I am loading in a bunch of text (and other data) from an XML file into Dynamic Text Fields on my stage via an XML.load call. Below is one example of one entry of my XML file:

PHP Code:

<stillDescriptions><text>Mack Trucks of North America came to us to help them create marketing materials for their MP7 Diesel Engine.</text></stillDescriptions>

I would like to be able to create HTML links within these strings between the <text> tags that I have in my XML file so that a user could click on the link that is inserted into the dynamic text field.

I can't get this to work. If I place typical HTML tags within my XML-tagged strings, it does not get parsed as HTML. Like this, this doesn't work -- text string gets truncated after hitting the first HTML tag. Makes sense since it may be expecting XML tags instead of HTML tags?

PHP Code:

<stillDescriptions><text>Mack Trucks of North America came to us to help them create marketing <a href = www.blah.blah>materials</a> for their MP7 Diesel Engine.</text></stillDescriptions>

Is there a trick to doing this, or is it not possible?

Any info would be most appreciated.

Thanks and good day,

-john

Open A Custom Html Window From A Flash File
Hail!

I'm doing a cd business card using flash mx. There is a section which I need to load in a custom html window.

I know you can do that inserting the flash file into a html file, but this is not the case, the flash file will not be inserted into a html file.

So my question is: how can I open a custom html window from a flash file?

also the flash file will be in fullscreen mode. How can I force the html file to be the first to be seen in the screen? (the problem is that when I open the html file, it loads minimized)

thanks in advance

Parse Html Bullets From Data Into Flash?
i realise that Flash has a fairly limited HTML/rich text, im using Generator also and retrieving data from a DB, and content inside it will contain bullets infact alot of them, I want to use the same DB for the html, rather than using a seperate DB for the flash site, is there a way to let Flash translate the bullet tags into flash as perhaps a placeholder for Generator/Flash??

Flash Parse Inline Xml Code In HTML Page
I have a movie that loads data via an XML file and that works fine. My question is can I get that same information inline - ie can I have the Flash <object> tag or some xml equivelant on the same page as the xml?

If this is confusing, I am working within an application that allows me to add "panels" of HTML code to a page. I can copy the XML gue from an Office graph and paste it into my HTML and the ActiveX graph reads it. Can I add some xml gue to my HTML page and parse it in my SWF?

Thanks,

Html Text Field Not Parsing Html
hi everyone

another problem. I have a text field marked at html text, and I want to dynamically apply text to it. Works fine and well, but the html (only a href tags) are not being parsed. I've also tried manually putting this into an html text field, and the same thing happens... nothing.

Any help? I'm desperate.

It can ignore any line beginning with ';'

If it helps I'm using Flash MX 7.2 & the latest release of mProjector.

; display flubber anim
doStartupAnimation = 1

; do dvd drive check
doDvdDriveCheck = 0

; do not reset when pressing on eject
noResetOnEject = 0

; 255 characters max here, format is <drive>:<path_to_xbe>.xbe, e.g. "f:dashesavalaunch.xbe"
; keep all paths lowercase just in case you have any issues with dashboards booting
dash1Name = c:avalaunch.xbe
dash2Name = c:evoxdash.xbe
dash3Name = c:unleashx.xbe
dash4Name = c:xbmc.xbe
dash5Name = c:xboxdash.xbe

; the xbe name of the title image loaded from dvd on startup, 16 chars max!
dvdBootXbeName = default.xbe

; flubber (blob) colors
colorBlob = ff26ff3f
colorBlobGlow = 00a0ff40

colorFlubberScene = ff35ff19
colorFogGlowStart = ff00ff00

AS 2.0: Custom Class Does Not Parse XML File
hi,
lately, I've been trying to mess around with self-made classes in actionscript 2.
I want to write a class that loads and manages XML data, but I fail already at parsing the XML file in my class (the class resides in a text file called "DataManager.as").
What's wrong with this basic construction?

PHP Code:

class DataManager {

    private var xFile;
    /////////////////////////////////
    //no Constructor
    /////////////////////////////////
    public function initialize ()
    {
        xFile=new XML();
        xFile.ignoreWhite=true;
        xFile.onLoad=processXML;
        xFile.load("matches.xml");



    }// end initialize

    private function processXML(success)
    {
        trace("processXML");
        if (success){
            trace(xFile.status);
            trace("load success");
            trace("FirstChild-ChildNodes: "+xFile.firstChild.childNodes.length);
            trace(xFile.firstChild.nodeName);

        }// end if
    }//end processXML()
}//end class

The file is there, it gets loaded (success becomes true) but xFile.status, xFile.firstChild etc remain undefined. When I load and parse the file using these two functions outside of the class, everything's fine. What's wrong? Do I have to import something to make XML parsing possible in a custom class?
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance...

Parsing HTML Special Cahracters In Flash
Hi guys

I have a Database that is used for a flash site and for an html based accessible site. Text in teh DB contains special characters like the ones on thsi page:

http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/ht...s/special.html

At the moment I have a function that replaces some of these strings:

Code:
_global.handleSpecialCharacters = function(inputString){
trace("handleSpecialCharacters: " + inputString);

if(inputString.indexOf("&") != -1){
trace("replacing special");
RE = new RegExp("&","g");
inputString = RE.replace(inputString,"&");
RE = new RegExp("<","g");
inputString = RE.replace(inputString,"<");
RE = new RegExp(">","g");
inputString = RE.replace(inputString,">");
RE = new RegExp(""","g");
inputString = RE.replace(inputString,""");
RE = new RegExp("'","g");
inputString = RE.replace(inputString,"'");
}

//trace("returning: " + inputString);
return inputString;
}
but it doesn't cover all of them. if I did cover all of them I would be getting concerned about how long this would take to process.

Is there a fucntion in flash that will parse these characters for me?

BTW - I know I could jsut use an html field but that would be a very big job to change everything and would require a lot of testing to make sure everythign had been changed over properly.

I hope someone can help.

Flash Parsing Html (reading Web Content)
Hi guys,

I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction (i.e. keywords or documentation)...I'm looking to have flash grab webcontent and display it in flash (Flash may be running as an .exe on a users desktop). As I remember it (been a while since I worked with flash + actionscript), flash can read xml files but what about just html?

For example if I wanted to grab random images from Google Images and display them in a movieclip and possibly file them away as well, would this be possible with standalone Flash (even on the desktop)?

Would I be better off trying some other technology? I like flash for the slick UI.

Any Way To Parse PHP/HTML Results?
There are a couple of personal profile sites that I peruse from time to time of an adult nature (grin) and the way they present the content is pathetic at best.

So my thought was this: I will create a custom interface in flash that uses the exact same PHP or URL calls that their pages do and it will basically be my own custom interface to give me the data the way I would like it.

Is this sort of thing possible? The truth is that I believe my new interface will be such an improvement that I can turn around and sell the interface and a couple of skins to the company who is providing the content.

If they don't buy it, I could always sell it outright or give it away if it works? Any suggestions, Ideas?

Thanks, Rowdy

Parse Html In Loadvars
For the life of me I cannot find a concise explanation of how to parse simple html using LoadVars

I can get the html from a simple web-page (no frames, no gimmicks, no embeds, just plain html 1.0) to load into my LoadVars object, but it creates a huge set of properties that don't make a lot of sense. When I iterate through them to add them to the htmlText of a TextField object, I get the text of the onLoad function of my LoadVars object even though I can see in the properties of the textField object, all of the htmlText in the htmlText property in the debugger.

What is going on?

Thanks in advance,

I know this is not possible in Flash, but I thought maybe there is a roundabout to get this to work anyway..

Is it maybe possible to load in the above mentioned bit of code with XML ???
And if yes, what is the way to do so ???

Hope someone knows and can help me...

Call An Swf File To Load Into Html Document From Seperate Swf File In HTML.
I am trying to get advise on the best way to do this or how to do this. I have a layout that the customer is happy with, in an HTML document, but the SWF files will be seperated because of the layout. If you go to this link, you will see what I mean. It all takes place inside of the black bar...

http://www.hairdrezzersonfire.com

I want the icon movie on the left to play first and after it is done, I want to be able to call the main SWF file to play in the center of the black area. After that's done, I want that main SWF file to call the text logo movie to play that comes in on the right side of the screen.

I assume that I will use a placeholder of some sort in an HTML cell and it will be replaced by the swf file, but I don't know how to call it with actionscript. Any ideas?

HTML Parsing Problem
Hello guys,

I'm trying to load html formatted text into my flash movie. It works fine for normal text, except when I use or tags, the text encased in the tags doesn't display. seems fine. Below is the script I use to display the text:

scroller.html=true;
myLoadVar = new LoadVars ();
myLoadVar.load("textfile.txt");
contents in the text field
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){
if (success == true) {
scroller.htmlText=myLoadVar.myText;
}
}

Question is, how do I display bold and italic text? I have a basic grasp of HTML so it's not the way I've coded - I know simple HTML tags.
I'm using Flash MX.

Thanks

Wierd HTML Parsing
Ok I have a problem ... and I'm half way done ... but I can't seem to figure the last part out ...

basically the setup goes as follows

I have text field the don't render HTML tags ... when you highlight a selected peice of text you can add html tags (to be rendered later)

The tags I have given are: bold, italic, underline, font size, font color, a href

so if I setup like this (example)

This is just a test [Now I want test to be bold and underline]

so I create the new string to look like this This is just a test

here is the code i use

Inside the MC that holds the text field
code:
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if (_xmouse > 0 && _xmouse <= this._width) {
if (_ymouse> 0 && _ymouse <= this._height){
_root.selStart = Selection.getBeginIndex();
_root.selEnd = Selection.getEndIndex();
if (_root.selEnd<>_root.selStart) {
_root.t_Start = this.text1.substring(0, _root.selStart);
_root.t_Middle = this.text1.substring(_root.selStart, _root.selEnd);
_root.t_End = this.text1.substring(_root.selEnd, this.text1.length);

_root.currentIndexes = _root.selStart+"-"+_root.selEnd+" __ "+this.text1.substring(_root.selStart, _root.selEnd);

}
}
}
}

Then when I push one of the text control buttons
code:
on (release) {
mcText1.text1 = t_Start+""+t_Middle+""+t_End
}

What I need to be able to do is ... know which words where selected and wraped with HTML tags ... then I need to be able to remove any given tag

I know it sounds wierd ... its like reverse HTML parsing ... I don't even know if it can be done

Can anyone please give me some insight ...

thanks

Custom Easing Extension Work With Flash 8
The extension used in Lee's tutorial, I 've managed to download it now from laco.wz.cz but extension manager won't install it, is there a way around this to get it to work with flash 8 or is there an alternative that still works in a dialogue box rather than with action script.

Thanks

XML Parsing/HTML Text Problem....
Allright guys, I have this wierd problem with HTML text.
I can't get it to display normal text, instead HTML tags with text show up. I've used the following code,

scrollComponent_mc.text_txt.html = true;
scrollcomponent_mc.text_txt.htmlText = desc_array[this.id];

------------------------------------------------------------

Basically what I'm going is parsing through an XML document using a "for" loop throwing nodes such as topic, desc, and image, into seperate arrays.

Here's the XML document snippet that I'm reading in...

<rootNode>
<topic name="topic name">
<desc><![CDATA[Topic Name this is text this is text this is text ]]></desc>
<image title="some photo">image.jpg</image>
</topic>

topicname 2
topicname 3
topicname 4
and so on....

</rootNode>

Here's the Code....

"guideDoc" is the name of the XML document I'm passing the this function....

function parseGuide(guideDoc) {
topic_array = new Array();
desc_array = new Array();
image_array = new Array();
guide_xml = new XML(guideDoc);
guide_xml.preloadXml(guideDoc);
guide_xml.ignorewhite = true;
guide_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var rootNode = this.firstChild;
var len = rootNode.childNodes.length;
var children = rootNode.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<len; i++) {
var section = rootNode.attributes.name;
var topic = children[i].attributes.name;
var desc = children[i].firstChild.firstChild;
var image = children[i].firstChild.nextSibling.firstchild;
topic_array.push(topic);
desc_array.push(desc);
image_array.push(image);
}
buildGuideNav(section);
}
};
}
function buildGuideNav(section) {
if (attached == false) {
attachMovie("submenu_mc", "submenu_mc", 700);
submenu_mc._x = 60;
submenu_mc._y = 100;
}
submenu_mc.geartext_txt.text = section;
for (i=0; i<topic_array.length; i++) {
submenu_mc.attachMovie("button_mc", "subNav_mc"+i, i+800);
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i]._x = 0;
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i]._y = 40+(i-1)*21;
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i].id = i;
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i].textBox_txt.text = topic_array[i];
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i].textBox_txt.autoSize = "left";
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i].onRollOver = function() {
this.grow();
};
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i].onRollOut = function() {
this.shrink();
};
submenu_mc["subNav_mc"+i].onRelease = function() {
scrollComponent_mc.text_txt.html = true;
scrollcomponent_mc.text_txt.htmlText = desc_array[this.id];
submenu_mc.arrow_mc.Vmove(this);
};
attached = true;
}
}

So with the onRelease I'm just retrieving the htmlText stored into the desc_array. By using the

scrollComponent_mc.text_txt.html = true;
scrollcomponent_mc.text_txt.htmlText = desc_array[this.id];

sould render the text as normal text, right?

When I was working on this, only the HTML text shows up, instead of plain text. Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks...

Parsing XML With Html Tags For Style
I'm using flash to pull in XML data, but I want to use html tags to be able to style the text. When I add any html, it treats it as a sub-node and ignores the data. Also, line breaks in the xml are being converted to double spaced paragraphs? The relevant code is basically this:

if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "TEXT")
{//add text to text array
ar_text[s]=element.firstChild.nodeValue;
}
textbox1.text = ar_text[0];

FMX - Parsing Xml Document With Html Tags
Hello!

I am having trouble parsing an xml document in flash.
The problem is that flash breaks the node content into different subnodes because it considers that html tags belong to a new different node.

How can you make flash ignore html tags (,,, etc) when parsing an xml document?

The xml is something like:

<data>
<property><title>messed up text </title><description>this text is broken into two parts, how can you fix that?</description></property>
</data>

So for example, I'd like to have the text within the description tag in one piece and not in two. Right now flash gets to the tag and breaks that node right there, creating a subnode including the text "two parts".

Any help welcome. Thanks to All!!

Parsing Text/variables From Html
I am working on a Flash file that requires being able to load HTML from another domain and parse it. Obviously I am therefore unable to format it how I would like, etc.

An example:

 Banshee <img src="g005st.xpf" direction=16 animation=yes>
<table border=0 width=280>
<tr><td>Influence</td><td>25 </td></tr>
<tr><td>Slots</td><td>10 </td></tr>
<tr><td>Max Weight</td><td>64 kg</td></tr>
<tr><td>Max Space</td><td>15 L</td></tr>
<tr><td>Unit Weight</td><td>50 kg</td></tr>
<tr><td>Type</td><td>Biological </td></tr>
<tr><td>Base Health</td><td>1200 </td></tr>
<tr><td>Base Armor</td><td>3 </td></tr>
<tr><td>Speed</td><td>4 m/s</td></tr>
<tr><td>View Range</td><td>7.5 m</td></tr>
<tr><td>View Type</td><td>Omni </td></tr>
</table> <table border=0 width=280>
<tr><td>The Mechanic is a jack of all trades, able to repair fellow vehicles, destroy enemy mines, and even shortcircuit retreating foes. This chassis is naturally repairable.</td></tr>
</table> <table border=0 width=280>
<tr><td>Engines</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G1001.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Storage</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G2001.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Computers</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G3001.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Weapons</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G4005.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Armors</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G5001.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Bonus</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G6001.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Misc</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G7000.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
<tr><td>Specials</td><td><a href="http://www.sgalaxy.com/manual_oml/I-G8005.txt">view list</a></td></tr>
</table>

For example, I would want to be able to set the variable "influence" to be equal to 25, or whatever it would be later (the stats are changed often).

I have never come close to attempting something like this, is there anything you can point me at?

Button Going To Html File, Want Html To Be Specific Size In Window
When I click on a button in my flash project, it takes the user to a html file. In that file the user can click on different .pdf files. I would like to make the html file a certain sized window example 300x400. I do not know what code (or where to put it in the html file) to use to make the window constrain to 300x400. Also, I would like the users computer to open acrobat reader in a seperate window, when they click on a .pdf link. Right now, it just opens in the original html file so the user has to hit the back button to get back to the original html file. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it muchly!

FMX - How To Ignore Html Tags When Parsing Xml Document
Hello!

I am having trouble parsing an xml document because the nodes contain text that has html tags. When I parse it in flash, it considers that the html tags are new nodes. How do you avoid this?

Everything loads into a variable: mainNode=xml document. And then it's parsed.

Some nodes look something like:
<property><description>my name is boris and I like flash</description></property>

The problem is that any text in html tags (,,,etc) is broken into a different node.

Any help welcome.
