Re: [Flashcoders] Hi List!
If stripping off all html from an input textfield is what you are looking for, You will be able to do this in a simple process: I'll put in a lil function in here: function stripHTML(input:String):String { var util_txt:TextField = _root.createTextField(util_txt, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), -100,-100,100,100); util_txt._visible = false; util_txt.html = true; util_txt.htmlText = input_txt.text ; var output:String = util_txt.text; util_txt.removeTextField(); return output; } // Now to use it, assuming the input textfield's instance name is input_txt, var strippedText:String = stripHTML(input_txt.text); the strippedText variable will have the valid text, stripped off from the html that the user typed in. What the function does is, provide the text in ur input textfield into a html textfield, and then retrieve the plain text from the html textfield. This will make sure that the text does not have any html tags in it. ( please note - the code above isn't tested) Hope that helps, Arul Prasad http://arulprasad.blogspot.com On 5/25/07, Andy Andersson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a scenario that I try to figure out, don't know if it is possible yet, but maybe someone here on the list knows if it is?

And it goes to the server and returns back to the flash app (everything works fine) but, I don't want people to paste or write HTML tags in the messages etc.. But if they do I want flash to filter/block those tags out to display in the flash app. So when the text gets back into the flash app, it should only contain real text, no HTML tags at all! Is that possible?

Re: [Flashcoders] Hi List!
Hi Andersson, It is possible by checking for the Html tags using the textField.onChanged event. Check through the tags with splitting up the and then when the text inside these contains any predefined tags .alert the user that these contains the html tag. Or you can check for the close tag too. When displaying you can check the text for the same scenario then i guess u can prevent these tags..
