Hi,
It is not a problem with whitespace between tags, as Suzy said, it is
a problem because of the cr/lf in the html code, let me explain:
Supose that we have a string variable named "param" whose value
is "hello Brian\nHow are you?", then when one uses, i.e.,
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunc", param) flex tell the browser to
evaluate a chunk of javascript code similar to this one:
jsFunc("hello Brian
How are you?");
that is a totally illegal javascript sentence.
However, if the value of "param" is "hello Brian\\nHow are you?",
then, the javascript code being evaluated would be:
jsFunc("hello Brian\nHow are you?");
which is good for the javascript interpreter.
Thus, the solution is to replace all newline-chars with "\\n" string:
var pattern:RegExp = /\n/gi;
htmlstr = htmlstr.replace(pattern, "\\n" );
ExternalInterface.call("ShowHTML", htmlstr);
In that way, the html's original "layout" is not changed and, the
most important: IT WORKS!
