Searched Google, no dice, when the chattyfig servers were down again, I
turned to Flexcoders, no luck either. Anyone who has experience with
Xpath, I hope you can help.
Problem overview: using Xpath, HTML tags inside of XML does not render,
even with CDATA tags applied.
Problem detail: I am using xfactorstudios' Xpath classes to bring in XML
node data which contains text and HTML tags to display in a Flash text
area component in the Flash 7 player. Here is a snippet of the XML:
<welcome>
<introduction title="Welcome">
<text><![CDATA[Welcome to the <a href='http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/'>Center
for Devices of Radiological Health</a>. More text...]]></text>
</introduction>
</welcome>
The text area component IS set to HTML=true, but when it renders, it
shows the text plus the HTML:
Welcome to the <a href='http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/'>Center for Devices
of Radiological Health</a>. More text...
Does the same thing with a regular dynamic text field. If I hard code
the same string directly in the .fla, it renders properly in the text
field and/or component. The string from XPath returns, interestingly
enough, looks like this:
Welcome to the <a
href='http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/'>Center for Devices of
Radiological Health</a>. More text...
Not sure why Xpath is changing the string from "</a>". to "</a>",
but Flash doesn't like it obviously. Anyone come across this before and
have a solution?
