Hi, I'm using htmlText and i think it's full of bugs...I'd like to know alternatives about how to read a html page (or html source from database) and "translate" into flex components.
For example, i'd like to have an option that from a <img /> html tag, create an <mx:Image /> flex component and from a html <p></p> create a <mx:Text />... So far, i found 4 options, but they are not perfect. 1 - DENG http://deng.com.br It's the best "translator", but unfortannely, it is from 2004/2006, made for flash 6 and i think it's donne in AS1 or AS2, for sure it's not an AS3 code. 2- WRAPPER http://osflash.org/projects/wrapper It works, but it's like SWFAddress, first it renders a html page and then it "translate" it to flex, and i think it isn't possible to just pass a variable with the html content inside a flex component. 3- Flex HtmlFilter http://code.google.com/p/flex-htmlfilter/ It's good, but not perfect yet, i found problens with image yet 4- flex.html package http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/html_and_flex_1.html It's a solution "aborted" from Adobe, it works for tables, bu big images give problem. And the worse: it hasn't and won't have any support, forum or help. I'm, trying a solution, creating a component, that loops trougth the html and parse the html as E4X, like in this code extract: [...] var imgXML:XML = new XML(meuHtml); var img:Image = new Image(); img.source = imgXML.attribute("src"); img.toolTip = imgXML.attribute("alt"); img.width = imgXML.attribute("width"); img.height = imgXML.attribute("height"); addChild(img); [...] but maybe someone here had already this problem... Can someone give any tips about this problem? How to solve it? Thanks in advance, Carlos
