html & edit box browser problem

[rui_eduardo]

Hi
I have developed an application based on XML.
Everything work well except content loaded from xml file into dynamic html or a edit box with html behaviour, do not work as a html but as text.
I mean, for example, mother - in portuguese mãe, if i write on xml file mãe, load and show mãe and not mãe.
Can some one help me?...
Thanks
Rui Paiva

PS - if some one have interest on code, i can display it. It's based on a Senocular tutorial for Flash MX + XML.
If edit box work well it's only necessary do a menu xml file and contents xml files and without you touch in a sigle piece of code, you canupdate your site.~Any time you want change layout, you can do it without to touch in a single of content or menu xml files.

Sorry

We'd love to see the code...

As to the problem. Dynamic HTML has a VERY limited tag set. This is a limitation of the flash player.

Try this code in startscript:

--------------------------

System.useCodepage = true;

--------------------------

and try to export (dynamic html) font outlines.

works for CE charset, but wouldn't know if it's any good on macs.

Hi
I have made some reseach on google about iso-8859-1 latin characteres
and after some testes i'm thinking then probably i got a solution.
So, for we get these latin characteres we must write on xml file as numeric html entity and not as symbolic html entity.
Please check here: www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html .
Besides this i got that with some basic html tags, as <p><font face color size><ul><li> we can have a good and interesting content presentation, as you will find on attached file.
Please click on link menu, kirupa/tutorials/web and please let me know your comments about.

PS - I'm still developing this code and i intend to do a site example.

[machomaus]

yes but I think you can save yourself some effort if you use dynamic html area instead of editbox, and .useCodepage - well at least this works for easteuropean charset.

also onScroll (and onFocus - of content editbox) code is redundant if you just use scroller in 3dfa - just assign it to HTMLwhatever in it's properties.

Hi Machomaus
I'm using just now ".useCodepage" on edit box.
Anyway, i'm going now try html + ".useCodepage".
Thank you
Rui

Hi
Do you remenber xml menu based on Senocular tutorial, wich
i puted here my 3dfa version?...
Now, please kind check this link and see this teste version:
http://www.sagos.pt/TESTES/xml_teste.html .
So, the swf file is only one.
I have one xml file with date for each one of menus, as well
the content xml for each one language.
So, when i want update i do not need touch on swf file.
When i want change layout, all elements must continue, but i can change what i want, between some parameters, of course, but i do not need touch in xml files.
This kind of develope it will be extraordinary when 3dfa get better html and css capacities.
Please take not yhen i have to make some tunning in spannish content.
So, let me know your opinion about this, loading time, develope system, etc., it would be great if all in this forum contribute for better 3dfa capacities, because in mine opinion, 3dfa as other flash program are not only for animations or games.

I'm surprised you haven't gotten more feedback on this (I know how that is).

This method is pretty usefull.
