Ugly indeed - but at least it works!
Thanks Jason - you're a star!

This is the only thing I have found that works:
XMLNode((XPath.selectNodes(myXML,"root/node/text()")[0])).nodeValue;
Ugly isn't it?

Hi everyone,
I'm still a bit new to using xml with flash, and I'm just starting
to
dig into xfactorstudio's xpath for AS2.
I'm generally loving the way it's clearly going to save me loads of
time in searching through my xml docs, but I'm having a bit of a
probem getting html formatted text from a CDATA tag to display
properly....
Say this is my xml file:
<content>
<biog>
<![CDATA[Lorem ipsum dolor<br><br>sit amet.]]>
</biog>
</content>
What I'm trying to do is get the "Lorem ipsum" text and display it
in
an html text field in Flash.
I would normally do something like this:
var myText:String =
myXML.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
Using "nodeValue" makes sure that the text gets treated as html, and
the line breaks work properly rather than doing:
var myText:String = myXML.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild;
... which would display "Lorem ipsum dolor<br><br>sit amet." in my
textfield - not good.
My question is, how do I get the same result using xpath?
Doing this:
XPath.selectNodes (myXML, "/content/biog/text()");
..gives me the right text, but won't treat it as html.
Thanks!
Mark.
