[Flashcoders] Intersecting (or ovelapping) b and i in html text fields
I noticed a difference in how Flash CS3 and simple HTML page parses b and i tags. For example: var test2 = A B C D B E F G I H I J K /B L M N O /I P Q R S T; txt.htmlText = test2; Flash produces: A B C D - regular font E F G - bold H I J K - bold+italic L M N O - bold+italic P Q R S T - bold (it completely ignores the closing /B tag). While using the same string, pure HTML produces (as we could expect): A B C D - regular font E F G - bold H I J K - bold+italic L M N O - italic P Q R S T - regular font (clearly considers closing bold /B). Conclusion - Flash allows nesting bi.../i/b, but does not allow intersecting two style formatting, like b...i.../b../i (I'm not sure if intersection is an appropriate word in this case).

intersection is not correct HTML, right? On Tue, Nov 17, 2009 at 10:03 AM, Greg Ligierko gre...@l-d5.com wrote: I noticed a difference in how Flash CS3 and simple HTML page parses b and i tags.

Should be like this.. var test2 = A B C D B E F G I H I J K /i/B iL M N O / I P Q R S T; if you want these results. A B C D - regular font E F G - bold H I J K - bold+italic L M N O - italic P Q R S T - regular font Karl On Nov 17, 2009, at 6:30 AM, Andrei Thomaz wrote: intersection is not correct HTML, right?
