RE: [flexcoders] mx:Link component
But have you also considered letting the
HTTPService parse the XML for you? Check out Christophes blog reader
example, you can see him parsing the RSS in there.

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 textand
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:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish/
Otherwise, just parse out the escapes:
var str = httpServiceStr;
str = str.split(apos;).join(');
str =
str.split(gt;).join();
str = str.split(lt;).join();

mx:Link component
Im 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 articlethe 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 componentthe Link component
is transforming the characters, like all apostrophes are converted to
apos;, etchow do I prevent this from happening?

Here's a snippet from a recent project which loops through

function openTree(t:mx.controls.Tree) {

An addition:
Function findthatnode( parent node, nodeID ) {
Loop through parent nodes children:
If current child node is the one with nodeid, then
return current node
else if current child node has at least one
child node of its own
return findthatnode( current child node,
nodeid )
end loop
return null
}
I might be making some major mistakes here,

Recursion, at its simplest, workslike
this:
function foo () {
foo();
}
A function that calls itself or,put
another way, a function that calls
a COPY of itself.
In pseudo code:
Function findthatnode( parent node, nodeID ) {
Loop through parent nodes children:
If current child node is the one with nodeid, then
return current node
else
return findthatnode( current child node,
nodeid )
}
That should be a good start!

Why, this seems to work fine for me:
mx:Link id=link /
mx:Button label=Set Link Label click=setLinkLabel() /
mx:Script
function setLinkLabel()
{
link.label = Manishapos;s link;

I think the problem is somewhere else.
Christophe's blog reader example uses resultFormat=object (default),

RE: [flexcoders] mx:Link component
Guysthe problem with my input is its
coming in from the RSS feed like this: JPMorgans Vice
President blah blah blah as the title of the article and when I set that
title string to the value of the mx:Link labels value, it the title ends
up looking like JPMorganapos;s Vice President blah blah blah
Why is this happening? Im getting the apostrophe unencoded from
the feed but the label attribute of the mx:Link component is encoding it.
I havent tried reversing this processmaybe Ill go try that
to first encode the titles coming from the feed and then passing the encoded
string to the label attribute. But from what you guys are saying, that
wont work either. I dont understand how the label aatribute
of the mx:Link component is encoding the stringIm not asking it
toshouldnt it just display exactly what Im sending it?Bizarre.

RE: [flexcoders] mx:Link component
The XML object probably converted the
characters into entities. The toString() does not convert it back. If you use
resultFormat=object like Christophe I dont think youll
have this issue.
