Well, I have actually searched over and over and I have read and re-read Steven's article as well, but I can't seem to get it just right. I think the problem is, Steven's article is written to an audience of more experienced AS coders (at least it seems so), and I'm pretty new to AS, so I don't get the context. The article does not state exactly *where* to put such code in my files, just that I need to do it. So I took some guesses and tried multiple ways, yet still to no avail. Yet I didn't want to bother him, as I've already asked him so many noob questions!
Mostly what I'm concerned about are parsing the <h1> and <a> tags. Do you have any suggestions as to how and where I can implement Steven's points in his article?

Hi, This article written by Steven looks just like what you are looking for... http://www.stevensacks.net/2008/07/02/parsing-xhtml-with-e4x-in-as3/ To keep your formatting, you can use css - the TextField in Flash supports a subset of css that allows you to apply bold, colours and link formatting... Not sure if you are searching for EX4 or E4X! HTH Glen Jonathan Wing wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to this group, so forgive me if I'm going about asking this the > wrong way.
