I don't know a ton about xml, but I use <p> and <p class="headline"> and <br
/> and <hr /> and <a href="http://somewhere.com";>Somewhere.com website</a>
tags directly in the xml file amongst text without problems. a separate css
file defines the elements. I've never used the CDATA tags or seen the need
for them in xml files?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Question for XML Style Junkies
My XML file takes the following form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<home>
<banner imageUrl="media/banner.jpg" x="0" y="0"/>
<bar title="Home" x="10" y="0" width="750" height="30"/>
<panels>
<panel title="Message" x="10" y="10" height="150" width="250">
<button title="Read Article" action="switchTab"/>
<content title="<![CDATA[Some<br>HTML Text in <br>here]]>">
<![CDATA[Lorem Ipsum Paragraph Text Here]]>
</content>
</panel>
<panel title="HR Toolbox" x="220" y="10" height="150" width="150">
<button title="Send e-mail" action="sendEmail"
param1="message"/>
<content title="<![CDATA[Some<br>HTML Text in <br>here]]>">
<![CDATA[Lorem Ipsum Paragraph Text Here]]>
</content>
</panel>
<panel>
...etc. ...etc.
</panels>
</home>
However, after I load it into Flash, it gets truncated to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<home>
<banner imageUrl="media/banner.jpg" x="0" y="0" />
<bar title="Home" x="10" y="0" width="750" height="30"/>
<panels>
<panel title="Message" x="10" y="10" height="150" width="250">
<button title="Read Article" action="switchTab"/>
</panel>
</panels>
</home>
I am assuming the way I am using CDATA tags are throwing it off somehow.
For example, I have a CDATA tag inside an attribute value under the
Home/Panel/Panel[0]/Title attribute value and this is where it seems to
break. Is this bad form and/or causing Flash to choke? If not, what
could be causing this? If this is bad XML form, how would you
reorganize it to work in Flash?
---------------------------------------------------------------
FYI - FWIW:
I am loading the XML in a standard way:
var xmlObject = new XML();
xmlObject.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlObject.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, loadSuccess);
xmlObject.load("home.xml")
and the delegate function just moves the playhead once the file is
loaded - when I get to the frame after it's loaded, I do a trace on the
XML and see the truncation as described.

Ideas?
