[Flashcoders] XML and htmlText

2010-06-01 Thread Lehr, Theodore 
To me, at least, this seems very weird... I have a textfield I am creating in 
as... I am doing something like this:

main_txt.htmlText = Question: 
+xmlData.children()[i].children()[0]+br/;

If I have a line break br/ IN the xml - it shows up... but the line break 
that is hardcoded in that line does NOT show up... why would that be?

i think that textfields treat returns (\n or \r) in what it expects to be
html text as whitespace

i'd recommend wrapping any html in ![CDATA[ ]] and just inserting them
wholesale rather than getting them as children of a node

so
thexml
 mynode![CDATA[pThis is a test. emDo not adjust your
set/em./ppMy second paragraph/p]]/mynode
/thexml

which can be brought into a textfield like this

myText.htmlText = xml.mynode;
