XML and HTML tag

[The Krook]

I've done this many times before - now I've worked on this for hours and I just can't figure out what's wrong this time.

This is my AS:

myText.html = true;
myText.autoSize = true;
var mydata = new XML();
mydata.ignoreWhite = true;
mydata.load("kontakt.xml");
mydata.onLoad = process;

function process (success) {
	if (success) {
		
		trace(mydata.firstChild);
		myText.htmlText = mydata.firstChild;
	} else {
		trace("bad");
	}
}

This is my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data><![CDATA[<img src='krak.jpg'>]]></data>

The trace comes up with:

<data>&lt;img src=&apos;krak.jpg&apos;&gt;</data>

...but the output is just the HTML code:
<img src='krak.jpg'>
..instead of showing the image. What's going on ?

[The Krook]

...and why is the trace so weird ?




...and why can't I edit my post ??...this has been a bad day - really bad!

LOL...well..they imposed a new 15 minute limit on editing posts. After that you are unable to.

In your xml, you need to specify a width and height....flash needs that for inline images. I also adjusted your parsing of the XML itself shown below. I also have it running if you need to see the result.

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data><![CDATA[<img src="image15.jpg" width="200" height="200" />]]></data>

AS:

myText.html = true;
myText.autoSize = true;
var mydata = new XML();
mydata.ignoreWhite = true;
mydata.load("krook.xml");
mydata.onLoad = process;

function process (success) {
if (success) {

trace(this.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
myText.htmlText = this.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
} else {
trace("bad");
}
}

Ahhh - thank you so much.
Now I can relax again - I was going insane here.


So the solution was: firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue
I did try firstChild.nodeValue
I'm not sure I understand why there is 2x firstChild.


Anyways...Thank you again!

Because your <data> node contains a nested node (a text node ...your CDATA) we "dot down" to it that way.

firstChild= <data>
firstChild.firstChild= the text node
firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue = the text nodes value
