    AS3 does not interpret HTML into XML

    hello!

    the title is auto explanatory. this doesn´t work,
    it shows plain text, not formatted:

    xml:
    Code:
    	
    <image link="slides/pic2.jpg" title="TÃ*tulo">
    		<desc>
    			<![CDATA[<font color='#"+990000+"'><b>First line Text in Bold Red color</b><font>]]>
    		</desc>
    	</image>
    as3:
    Code:
    descriptionTF.htmlText = my_items[intCurrentSlide].desc;
    thanks !!

    This may seem a bit unorthodox but I use xml everyday and this works for me. Just take out your CData

    Code:
    <image link="slides/pic2.jpg" title="TÃ*tulo">
    		<desc>
    			<font color='#990000'><b>First line Text in Bold Red color</b><font>
    		</desc>
    	</image>
    Hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll look further into it.

    hey fellows, I´ve got it to work using it like this:
    Code:
    		<desc>
    			<![CDATA[O Floripa Music Hall traz a maior banda de heavy metal do Brasil. Ingressos ja a venda <font color='#990000'><a href='www.google.com'>Saiba mais</a></font>]]>.
    		</desc>
    but the tags <b> as well as <strong> don´t work !
    i wonder why..
    thankS!

    Thanks!

    hey jweeks123, thjanks for answering,

    I took of the [[CDATA like this:
    Code:
    	<image link="slides/pic1.jpg" title="Descubra o Floripa Music Hall">
    		<desc>
    			O Floripa Music Hall traz a maior banda de heavy metal do Brasil. Ingressos ja a venda <font color='#990000'><a href='www.google.com'>Saiba mais</a></font>.
    		</desc>
    	</image>
    and it not only doesn´t interpret the html at all, but it also shows a blank line in the textfield, before the text..

    like i posted previously, with the "CDATA" i´ve managed to work the 'font' and 'a' tags, but not the 'b'.

    Thanks !

    Interesting. Well, do you get the correct HTML string when you trace out the nodes value?

    Very Interesting Indeed.

    If I make a textfield and set its text to that, it works as it should for me. Perhaps yours is getting reset somewhere? Perhaps a textformat is interfering? Not sure, but another idea would be to load that string into a string variable and then assign it to the textfield as HTML text.

    that shows the same results as before :

    Code:
    			var descString:String = my_items[intCurrentSlide].desc;
    			
    			if (descriptionTF)			
    				descriptionTF.htmlText = descString;
    and there is no text format..

    textfield settings in flash ide:

    anti alias for animation , render text as html, embedded characters, multiline...

    tried with other settings (device fonts, etc) and Arial , tag <strong> instead of <b> in the xml file...no success!
    really intriguing !

    Hmmm...I wonder if it's your flash player. Sometimes I see different flash results on different machines. Do you have a source file you could attach so I may see what I get with it?

    It's all good. I've got it, and made some changes. I've sent you a new source compilation, but I'm thinking the problem lays within the font that your using on the textfields themselves.

    LOL, you didn't miss much Phix. Our statements here pretty much sum it up, but in the end ziriguidum ended up removed the <b> tag as it wasn't working well unless device fonts were in use.
