Urls in XML

[SJT]

Ok, I started looking at xml yesterday night...so don't laugh too loud;

How can I get the flash xml parser to display links in text fields?

What i'd like is to specify the data for the text field via xml, but I can't work out how I'd stop Flash from parsing an <"a href=blah"> tag as another xml node; it seems to just stop loading the text when it gets to a url tag, i suppose cos it thinks it's child node...

What can I do??

[SJT]

Fixed it, was dodgy tutorial i was using which had the same xml object specified twice in different frames....the other one hidden nicely at the bottom of the timeline window.

Spent several hours trying to work that one out... :-(

If your text contains a lot of "&lt;" or "&" characters - like program code often does - the XML element can be defined as a CDATA section.

A CDATA section starts with "&lt;![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>":
&lt;script>
&lt;![CDATA[
function matchwo(a,b)
{
if (a > b && a > 0) then
{
return 1
}
else
{
return 0
}
}
]]>
&lt;/script>
