Play with nodeValue. As a test add the entity code into the XML file and use
nodeValue:
// XML
<hut_data>
<title>Akbar & Jeff's ActionScript Hut</title>
</hut_data>
//
// AS
theClip.txt.text = xmlNode.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
//
instead of:
// XML
<hut_data>
<title>Akbar & Jeff's ActionScript Hut</title>
</hut_data>
//
// AS
theClip.txt.text = xmlNode.firstChild.firstChild;
//

Subject: [Flashcoders] Entities are Hell!
I'm loading xml with special characters. These display as their entity codes
i.e. "&" as "&". If I put enitity codes in the xml, I still get entity
codes displaying on screen. What am I doing wrong? Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
Screen Output:
Akbar & Jeff's ActionScript Hut
my_xml.xml:
<hut_data>
<title>Akbar & Jeff's ActionScript Hut</title>
</hut_data>
class:
class LoadXml {
private static var xmlUrl:String = "my_xml.xml";
private var rootRef;
private var theClip:MovieClip;
function LoadXml(rootRef) {
this.rootRef = rootRef;
var xmlDoc:XML = new XML();
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlDoc.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
this.owner.displayData(this);
} else {
trace("error loading xml");
}
};
Object(xmlDoc).owner = this;
xmlDoc.load(xmlUrl);
}
private function displayData(xmlDoc:XML) {
var xmlNode:XMLNode = xmlDoc.firstChild;
if (xmlNode.nodeName.toString() == "hut_data") {
theClip =
this.rootRef.createEmptyMovieClip("theClip", 1);
theClip.createTextField("txt", 10, 10, 10, 250, 20);
theClip.txt.html = true;
theClip.txt.text = xmlNode.firstChild.firstChild;
}
}
}
