Okay. I'm using AS2. How then do I get the actual xml out of the object?

AS2 or AS3?
The XML class in AS3 has a toXMLString() method which will return the correct
value.
toString() ignores CDATA in the output panel. This doesn't mean it isn't there.
var str:String = '<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">';
str+='<P ALIGN="LEFT">';
str+='<FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000">';
str+='<B>Formatted content of a text field.</B>';
str+='</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>';
var xml:XML = new XML("<html><![CDATA[" + str + "]]></html>");
trace(xml.toXMLString());

Subject: [Flashcoders] how to get CDATA into an XML object
I can't figure out how to put CDATA into an xml object. Whether I use createTextNode( ) or create the xml with the CDATA directly,
the XML object wants to scrub my input string:
My goal is to store away the htmlText of TextField inside of an xml object.
// textField is a TextField object
var htmlOfTextField = textField.htmlText;
trace(htmlOfTextField);
/*
output:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000"><B>Formatted content of a text
field.</B></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
*/
// now, I want to build a node "html" containing an exact copy of
htmlOfTextField
var xmlRecord = new XML("<html><![CDATA[" + htmlOfTextField + "]]></html>");
trace(xmlRecord.toString());
/*
output:
<html><TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12"
COLOR="#000000"><B>Formatted content of a text
field.</B></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT></html>
*/
Notice that the output above does not contain the mark-up "<![CDATA[ ... ]]> " and that the html string has been scrubbed.
The result I want should look like this:
<html><![CDATA[ <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000"><B>Formatted content of a
text field.</B></FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>]]></html>
Thanks for any help!
