Re: [Flashcoders] CDATA Html Text not working
Great! That works! Thanks so much!! I'll look into that XPath... Maybe not for this project since it's on a tight deadline, but for the future! Thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] CDATA Html Text not working
here is the snipit of code:
local.obCredits[this.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.childNodes[j].nodeName]
=
this.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.childNodes[j].childNodes;
local.obCredits --- This is passed as an object later to a Class.
[this.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.childNodes[j].nodeName] --- this
loops the node names
and places them as properties of the local.obCredits object, one of them being
the "content"
this.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.childNodes[j].childNodes;--- this is
how I am trying to
access the content of that node.
First off, I'm guessing I should use .nodeValue? Will that give me the entire
node with
""? Is it even possible to read the html value for html text?
Thanks so much!

[Flashcoders] CDATA Html Text not working
So I'm working on a project... I'm reading xml nodes and placing each node into
dynamic text
fields...
XML:
The problem is the XML Node is not reading as a string and the html text field
reads the node as a
literal string instead of html text. I mean it prints something like "Blah blah
someLink some bold text " in my text field.
AS:
var tt:TextField = m.createTextField("txt",m.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,0,0);
tt.autoSize = true;
tt.selectable = false;
tt.embedFonts = true;
tt.antiAliasType = "advanced";
tt.html = true;
tt.htmlText = local.ob.content; // myXml value
tt.setTextFormat(local.tTextFormat);
Does anyone have a solution for this? I think it's because the text is not
reading as a String...
I've tried toString() and it doesn't work... If I try and perform any other
simple String
function like substr() or anything it doesn't work either!
I'm sorta new at XML and Flash, I've been doing Flash for a while but I usually
don't use XML.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Thanks!
Chris

Re: [Flashcoders] JSFL Saving a created document
Wow thanks! Your blog on how to create a publish profile is also very helpful
to me!
The save commands:
document.save();
document.saveAndCompact();
fl.saveDocument();
fl.saveDocumentAs();
They all assume that the file is already saved if not then it prompts a "Save
As" dialog with the file browser... The problem is I want to save the document
in a specific place with a specific name and not let the user pick the name and
where to save it. Am I missing something?
Again Thanks!
Chris

You should download the JSFL documentation file.
fl8_extending.pdf
Not sure what the URL is but search Adobe's site and you'll find it like
I did.
Here's a taste of the functions that handle it.
Check my blog for the entire script where I am creating templates.
http://www.stevensacks.net/
var doc = fl.getDocumentDOM();
function saveFile(s) {
var fPath = getRelativePath() + s + ".fla";
fl.saveDocument(doc, fPath);
}
function getRelativePath() {
var pathArr = doc.path.split("\\");
pathArr.length--;
return("file:///" + pathArr.join("/") + "/");
}

[Flashcoders] JSFL Saving a created document
Hi all, I've been lurking for a long time and decided to join up! I'm working on a little project with JSFL. I want to create a JSFL script that automates setting up a project for me, including creating the directory structure and project file and a starter FLA file that has some actions on it. I got all the way to fl.createDocument(); and I realized that I can't figure out any way to automate saving the document under a specific name... Is this possible? Thanks! Chris Do you Yahoo!?
