RE: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic
Italics are easy, just with a i/i tags if you set your textfield to accept HTML and enclose the text in the XML with CDATA tags. Trademark in HTML is usually trade; or #8482- don't know if there is a spec for service mark yet. But I don't think Flash's HTML DOM supports those symbols unfortunately. I have heard of people inserting graphics, but that's a pain, and not sure if it's the best/only approach. Maybe someone else knows.

Re: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic
Read about the TextFormat class. It should do almost everything that you need to do! Note the XML string below has almost all types of text formatting in it. Let me know if you have questions.

RE: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic
I cannot get the TM in superscript to appear in my Flash movie. I can see it in my xml file - see http://www.mediakitchen.co.uk/movie_data.xml My flash movie has the text set to html by clicking on the option in the text properties box. It is a Flash MX 2004 Movie published as Flash 7 As 2.0 The font it uses is Frutiger-cn and I have chosen to embed Basic Latin (95 glyphs) Any ideas why this doesnt work? Also when I put the i /i around some text, it appeared to break the xml and nothing after the i appeared in my flash movie at all. If anyone has any idea what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated.

RE: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic
Paul, Looks like the TM immediately following ProductName didn't survive the e-mail process. I also wanted to mention that, of course, your textfield needs to be set to html = true and you must assign the nodeValue from the XML document to its htmlText property. -Keith -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Reinfeld Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 1:12 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic Paul, In your XML document: (Watch the wrap.) someTag![CDATA[Grandios ProductNameT iitalic description/i content text here.]]/someTag You can enter the TM directly into the XML document by holding down Alt and typing 0153 on the numberpad.

Re: [Flashcoders] External text from XML file including superscriptanditalic
This has worked for me in the past as well. Basically, the rule is that if you can actually *see* the character in your xml file, and you've set things up correctly, Flash will render the character. However, I have a project coming up where we'll need to render special characters from the actual Unicode sequences. (So the files will not have human-readable characters, just Unicode for special chars). Has anyone had any luck making that work?
