Re: [Flashcoders] html in XML
Hi there, It's a restriction in XML that you cannot have markop, nor the open-angle bracket in an attribute value. or ; If you really want to use the attribute you have to escape the content, and unescaope while parsing in flash. W3.org: The ampersand character () and the left angle bracket () /MUST NOT/ appear in their literal form, except when used as markup delimiters, or within a comment http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-comment, a processing instruction http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-pi, or a CDATA section http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-cdsection. If they are needed elsewhere, they /MUST/ be escaped http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-escape using either numeric character references http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-charref or the strings |amp;| and |lt;| respectively. The right angle bracket () may be represented using the string |gt;|, and /MUST/, for compatibility http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-compat, be escaped using either |gt;| or a character reference when it appears in the string |]]| in content, when that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#dt-cdsection. In the content of elements, character data is any string of characters which does not contain the start-delimiter of any markup or the CDATA-section-close delimiter, |]]|. In a CDATA section, character data is any string of characters not including the CDATA-section-close delimiter. *CDATA sections* may occur anywhere character data may occur; they are used to escape blocks of text containing characters which would otherwise be recognized as markup. CDATA sections begin with the string |![CDATA[| and end with the string |]]|:] you open the cdata with ![CDATA[ and close it with ]] inbetween the html. source check: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#syntax promo+biboune.net wrote: hi there i am having trouble to parse Html tags in a Xml file that is loaded in a flash file can anyone help here is the XML ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ? icons icon image=gif/images.gif tooltip=tooltip content= here i want to have HTML tags like a href=somewhere.comclick here to go somewhere /a / /icons best jeanphy ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

RE: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML
Crazy talk my arse! ;-) I've used XML with HTML and CSS to drive several commercial products I've developed. So long as all tags are correctly terminated it makes sense to use XML; where do you think XHTML came from? XML is, by nature, a portable document that can be used and interpreted by other programs. You only use CDATA as a last resort as it can be a real pain to process in some other languages. Flash Player doesn't even recognise CDATA nodes as a type; only element and text nodes. With XML, you know the structure of the document you're working with as it is defined at some point. If I know that all data inside my content element is XHTML then I only need to fetch its contents or rather its child nodes. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Stearns Sent: 10 August 2006 17:31 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML this advice is all crazy talk. the proper way to do it is to use CDATA tags.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML
Hi John, The actual internal structure of the XML comes out as follows: news +-- newsitem |+-- TEXT NODE (Body of the news article.) |+-- a | | +-- TEXT NODE (Google) |+-- TEXT NODE (More body of the news article.) +-- newsitem etc. (I hope the formatting comes out) As you can see, you have to iterate through all the children of newsitem, rather than just using the firstchild. An alternative strategy would be to surround the body of the news item (including the anchor tags) with a CDATA section (look it up in any decent XML format reference) which would mean that all of the body would be treated as one node - as one string - and your anchor tags would be passed through the parser in the way I think you want.

Re: [Flashcoders] HTML in XML
Make sure your XML document is in Unicode. I use Unicode-8, but our ASP pages write Unicode-16. You don¹t need any CDATA tags. I have XHTML info bubbles with CSS and images; text is like this: bubble id=0 p class='titel'Network Address Translation/pbr/ pNAT or Network Address Translation takes place on the boundary img src='texts/kaart.jpg' align='right' hspace='6' vspace='8'/between public and private networks. /bubble Just be sure to close all tags.
