But have you also considered letting the HTTPService parse the XML for you?  Check out Christophe’s blog reader example, you can see him parsing the RSS in there.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] mx:Link component

 

It's because the Link component's label is not html enabled.  HTML escapes like your seeing will render in an HTML enabled TextArea for instance.  I've tried all kind of hacks I can think of; none work.

 

my_link.labelPath.html = true;

my_link.labelPath.htmlText

 

Throwing it in a TextArea, but returning the text and then tossing back into Link...all no dice.

 

You might want to file an ECR on the wish list for an html property for the Link component:

 

 

Otherwise, just parse out the escapes:

 

var str = httpServiceStr;

str = str.split("'").join("'");

str = str.split("&gt;").join("<");

str = str.split("&lt;").join(">");

Subject: [flexcoders] mx:Link component

 

I’m reading in a moreover RSS newsfeed from an HTTPService request, I set the resultFormat attribute of the HTTPService component to XML, I parse the XML accordingly and set the resulting array of objects to the dataprovider of a repeater that creates an mx:Link for the article title and a mx:Text for the descriptive blurb that comes along with each news article…the XML sends the titles with apostrophes and other characters and when I set the value of the <title> tag from the RSS XML feed to the label attribute of the mx:Link component…the Link component is transforming the characters, like all apostrophes are converted to &apos;, etc…how do I prevent this from happening?

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] tree traversal?

Here's a snippet from a recent project which loops through and opens all
branches in a tree.  Shouldnt be too tough to modify for your needs.


function openTree(t:mx.controls.Tree) {
   var i:Number=0;
   var node:mx.controls.treeclasses.TreeNode=t.getTreeNodeAt(i);
   while (node != undefined){
     if (t.getIsBranch(node) && ! t.getIsOpen(node)){
       t.setIsOpen(node,true);
     }
     i++;
     node=t.getNodeDisplayedAt(i);
   }
}
