Using Actionscript With Html Tags... Please Help Me

HTML Tags In Actionscript? Help
Ok, so this is probably a real easy one to solve - but i'm learning flash on the fly, so it's kinda difficult to keep track of everything...
Basically my problem involves HTML tags such as
[font family = "ariel, blah, blah"] etc... (basically any tags which use quotes inside the tag). If i put this into actionscript - it breaks the line of code - but even if i use the escape character () around the tag - the code accepts it - but doesn't show in the final document...
How can i do it??!!

Inserting HTML Tags Using Actionscript
I want to build a simple text editor in flash using basic HTML tags such as <b>,<u>,<i>,<a>,...

Now I was wondering how to make a script that can insert a tag at the beginning and at the end of a selection in an input textfield. I tried to look for existing HTML editors made in flash, but they are all protected in some way.

Can somebody help me on the way?

Embedding Html In Xml Tags, When Rednering Text As Html
Quick question,

I have a site that reads all content from an external xml. The text box that reads this info renders the content as html; does anyone know how to go about putting an html tag in an xml tag so that flash can read it?

So would it be possible to do:
<content>
" Welcome to the site<br>we are happy to have you here<br><img src="logo.jpg"> "
</content>

HTML TextFields Using Html Tags During Creation
OK, so I have an html formatted textfield, if i was loading external text in from a file I could put stuff like "<ul><li><b>bullet1</b></li><li>bullet 2</li></ul>" in the external file and it would render. However when you set the contents of a textfield during creation you can set things like font size, bold etc but you can't choose bullets?!? or am I totally missing something here? I can input bullets using 'Alt-0149' like this --> • but then it doesnt do the indenting for you like the <li> tag would...

[ --HTML And IMG Tags-- ]
Masters,

Could someone please describe how I might utilize the images embedded in an HTML document while keeping their relation? I am using loadVaribableNum to load the HTML into a text field and I would like to pull the images from the html into a movieclip. (Picture an MSN news article)

I am building a Flash front-end to a backend tool that will be kicking out html pages in pretty much whatever format I need. (the backend is SQL/XML driven and XSL is formatting the info in usable HTML)

I have been the XML path already, but I really find Flash's XML capabilities limited and clunky (and procssor intensive)


Additional questions:

1. Will there be a limit to the size of the HTML doc being passed into the Flash text Variable?

2. Can I pull in an entire html doc without popping up another window?

Thanks in Advance,
RASTERB8

Html Tags In Xml
hello, i've been storing my data in xml files and loading their contents into flash.

what i'd like to do is be able to have tags in that data such as the "BR" tag and "A HREF" tag

the current format of my data is like this: (don't worry, i used < & >), it wouldn't post on the board correctly with the code tag...

[?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?]
[root]
[entry]
[title]July 3rd[/title]
[body]today was boring.[/body]
[/entry]
[entry]
[title]July 2nd[/title]
[body]i ate food.[/body]
[/entry]
[entry]
[title]July 1st[/title]
[body]i visited this <u>site</u>.[/body]
[/entry]
[/root]

say for example, in the July 1st entry, the underlined word needs to be bold and a link.

i've been using an xml to object actionscript file in to make it easier to use xml, not sure if that would affect the data being parsed.

currently, the only method i know is to make up my own tags, like [b] and just parse the text with string fuctions/methods.

Still In Need Of Help...HTML Tags
Hy there!

Though linha direta has given me sample files (an I thank him for this) , I haven't solved the problem.
My problem is simple : I have two pages in HTML , both loading the same .swf file , wich contains only one field of dynamic text , with the variable named text.
The two pages have the titles (the tags corresponding) Home and Second page.
How can I read the tags (any of them , the titles are just an example)and initialize the text variable with them?
In , other words , how can I have the title of the current page in one flash file , loaded in both pages?
I use Flash 5.I don't have SSI or CGI acces for my server.

Tanks , in advance!Best regards!

XML And HTML Tags
Obvious you can't use HTML tags inside a node value in XML, right?

I come up with an idea inspired from this forum,
What if I create tags like in this forum and do a search and replace inside Flash when reading the XML file, that should work, right?

HTML Tags
I'm getting html based info (eg: <TABLE height="100" width="100%">) from a SQL database into flash. I figured out that flash does not understand all the html tags. Does anyone have an idea wich tags are understood by flash and wich ones are not?
Maybe a tutorial somewhere or a reference site?

Thx

Html Tags
Hi,
do you have experience with text formating? I'm using this script for dynamic text:

Code:
content_txt.htmlText += "<font size='12'><b>" + head + "</b>" + "<br>" + </font>" + body;
Strage is, that in one case it works fine, but in my recent project bold tag cause invisibility of "head". Without bold tag it's fine, I can change font size. It there any futiveness I have to be aware of?

HTML Tags In XML
I'm having some problems when inserting html tags in my XML file. I thought that because of the textField.html option, i could simply insert my html tags into the xml strings.


Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<pages>
<page header="<c>Info</c>" ...
those center tags surely messed things up so how would I do it?
Thanks in advance.

Using HTML Tags With XML
Hello everyone,

I have an XML document that contains CDATA nodes with <BR> tags. I'm importing the XML and displaying it in a text box, but unfortunately the text box is actually displaying the <BR> tags, rather than inserting line breaks. I've set the text box to "Render text as HTML", and I've applied the XML data through htmlText, but it's still not working. If I insert text into the text box manually it will render as HTML, as in:


Code:
textBox.htmlText = "Testing...<br>Testing...";
But if I apply the XML node, it just displays the <BR> tags, like this:


Code:
textBox.htmlText = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
Does anyone happen to have any idea why this is happening? I've included a .zip attachment that contains a sample .xml and .fla file that illustrates the issue I'm having.

Thanks!

//textField.text = (siteInfo.4k.section[0].getValue());
}


function setText(type, n, sub){
if (sub != undefined){
copy.htmlText = siteInfo[type].section[n].section[sub].getValue();

HTML Tags In XML
Im trying to use HTML tags in an XML file, but not as nodeValues, I want to use HTML tags inside a node attribute string ie:

// test.xml contents
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<item content="some text that should render as <b>HTML</b>" />
</root>

// flash AS
var xmlLoad:XML = new XML();
xmlLoad.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlLoad.load("test.xml");
xmlLoad.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("loaded");
var xmlContent = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].attributes.content;
testTextField.html = true;
testTextField.htmlText = xmlContent;
trace(xmlContent);
} else {
trace("error");
}
}

When the tags are in the attribute string, flash returns 'undefined', but when I delete them it works ok, but that's not what I want.

And yes, I've tryed <![CDATA[...]]>, and I think it doesn't work inside a node, or its attribute :/.

Add HTML Tags W/in XML?
Is it possible to add html tags to text in an XML doc?
When I attempt the obvious approach (adding tags around the text I want to format), the XML parsing in actionscript chokes.

So, for example if my XML is:

Code:

<strings>
   <English>
      <greeting>Welcome to the medeival future</greeting>
      <thanks>Thank You</thanks>
   </English>
   <Fran?ais>
      <greeting>Bienvenue</greeting>
      <thanks>Merci</thanks>
   </Fran?ais>
</strings>

Would it be possible to make the work Welcome bold?

Thanks.

HTML Tags And LoadVariableNum
I'm using the loadVariablesNum command to load (URLEncoded) variables/texts to use in my dynamic textfields.

But when I try to use HTML code, it does not work. The only thing that works is <FONT SIZE="x"> and <U>.. And as soon as I put </FONT> or </U> after the text, it doesn't appear!

How come?! I mean, it can't be that the <>'s are URLEncoded, because the font size works, right?

Using HTML - Which Tags Are Allowed?
Well, okay, I just started to use a HTML-Textfield. I want to know, which html-tags are allowed? Only <font>? Or even <img> and <table> and <a href>?

Where can I find an overview, which is allowed and which is not?

HTML Tags In Flash
Hi,

I'm having some problems in incorporating HTML text boxes in Flash.

I have put all the text on each page, and they are all in dynamic text boxes.
i have the text linking to certain pages (i select the text, and i give the url address in the character panel>url section in flash), but when i view the movie on the internet, it will open the page, but it will open it in the window that my movie is in.
is there any way to control the button so it opens a new window for the pages clicked, and to do this in the url section of the character panel?


As well, if i have some text that is reading from actionscripting, (ie. making a dynamic text box, then typing all the text in the actionscripting panel) i would like to change the font color at some points, but the html tags dont work?


thanks for all the help

Html-tags And Scrollbar
hi,

I posted a thread before, with the same problem, but I found out more about it, so here's the story:

I want to have html-tags in my dynamic textfield with a scrollbar.
The following code (placed in the first frame of the scene) works fine for making a dynamic textfield with a scrollbar:


mijnLoadVars = new LoadVars();
mijnLoadVars.load("tekstwho.txt", 0);
mijnLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
tekstveldwho.text = this.tekstwho;
}
};


BUT: when I want to put html tags in it, they stay visible.


Next script works fine with text with html-tags in it:

loadVariablesNum("tekstwho.txt", 0);
BUT: then my scrollbar is gone......


Can't figure out how to combine those two, any clues?


Thanks in advance !

Html Tags In Flash
Hi!

I managed to find a workaround (a component... eh) to make a working text scroller that can use html tags.

Now i'm having problems with the tags (sad )

I can get the links to work and change to color but i haven't been able to change the font sizes.

What is the correct tag for font sizes? also are there any tutorials about these things?

(i tried normal font size tags but they didn't work)

var myText = myXML.childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue.split("<br />").join(" ");
Please help if you can,

Thanks,
Stephen.

AppendText() With Html Tags
Hi,

I would love to use
Code:
TextField.appendText()
instead of
Code:
TextField.htmlText+=..
but I can't get it working when I use html tags in my strings. For instance:

Code:
tField.htmlText +="<TEXTFORMAT LEFTMARGIN='14' LEADING='3'><FONT FACE='MetaPlusBold-Roman' SIZE='12.5' COLOR='#D9098C'>" +xml.*.@*[i].toString()+"<BR>"+ "</FONT></TEXTFORMAT>";
doesn't show the text.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Jerryj.

Can See Html Tags When Using Loadvars
I am following a tutorial to load text with html using loadVars

using the following code


Code:
var myLV:LoadVars;
myLV = new LoadVars();

myLV.onLoad = function(p_success:Boolean):Void
{
if(p_success)
{
txt_info.htmlText = myLV.info;
}
else
{
txt_info.text = "Error loading file!";
}
}

myLV.load("htmltext.txt");
the problem is in the one i have made i can see the html tags and the one from the tutorial i can not ...both use same code and same txt file

so somehting else must be selected in the properties panel ?... but for the life of me I can not see what

i have attached both fla in the zip
