Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. I have looked at mozilla.org but didn't find much.
It's really not that fancy - just Windows XP and Firefox (v 2.0.0.4) and since
Firefox represents more than 33% of the users these days its a browser i'm
afraid we can't just ignore.
I'll take it ;)
thanks for everybody's help.
Just catching up on this, you might want to try looking up floodFill
algorithms - that's pretty much what you're doing.

You're not following my first option right. My first option doesn't use
asfunction, and it uses not '. It's just setting the value of the
text to HTML code. No asfunction or getURL. The second option should
work, try using instead of '.

I think now that it's a scoping issue. Make sure the function is defined in
the same class/movieclip as the textfield which contains the asfunction. You
then just have to delegate it to where you need it.

The XML class in AS3 has a toXMLString() method which will return the correct

AS2 will not support CDATA nodes. You should load in a schema that has a
