Drome-
Thank you so much for your help. I was able to modify your regEx to
make it work for my needs. I just needed to add in a piece for return
characters and form feeds as well.
The regex i used was:
var pattern:RegExp = /\n|\r|\f/gi
var htmlstr : String = htmlTextString.replace(pattern, "" );
var m:String = ExternalInterface.call("changeDocumentTitle",htmlstr);
And the code for the js method being:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function changeDocumentTitle(a) {
var generator=window.open('','name','height=400,width=500');
generator.document.write(a);
generator.document.close();
return "successful";//this gets assigned to flex variable 'm'
above
}
</SCRIPT>
