XML with <textformat> load into htmlText

JakeSee · July 10th, 2007, 9:16 AM

I'm desperate looking for a solution to this:

i have XML snippet

<career>
<![CDATA[please send in by email your cover letter and resume to:
<textformat tabstops="50, 100">
Address\tPerson\tnumber
Address2\tPerson2\tnumber2
</textformat>]]>
</career>

then in flash i use

textField.htmlText = career.firstChild.nodeValue

but it doesn't work. the \t is not formatted and appears as it is: \t

Anyone knows how to get around?

Well, CDATA is typically not parsed. Try taking it out of the CDATA and see if that allows Flash to parse it.

I finally managed to fix it.... and I can go bang the wall and die. It's just as simple as press the TAB key on the keyboard!!! Why didn't I think of that earlier.

Thanks H for the clue about not parsing CDATA.

I think I'll just leave it here hopefully it helps another that comes by.
