[flexcoders] Re: Viewing HTML
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

Thus, the solution is to replace all newline-chars with \\n
string:
var pattern:RegExp = /\n/gi;
htmlstr = htmlstr.replace(pattern, \\n );
ExternalInterface.call(ShowHTML, htmlstr);
In that way, the html's original layout is not changed and, the
most important: IT WORKS!

However, if the value of param is hello Brian\\nHow are you?, then, the javascript code being evaluated would be: jsFunc(hello Brian\nHow are you?); which is good for the javascript interpreter. Thus, the solution is to replace all newline-chars with \\n string: var pattern:RegExp = /\n/gi; htmlstr = htmlstr.replace(pattern, \\n ); ExternalInterface.call(ShowHTML, htmlstr); In that way, the html's original layout is not changed and, the most important: IT WORKS! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Brian Riggs bringrags@ wrote: One thing you could try is to assign the String to an (e4x) XML object, set XML.ignoreWhitespace to true, and then output the result using XML.toXMLString(). This should cause whitespace between tags to be stripped out. -- Brian --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Suzy Lawson suzylawson@ wrote: Christophe's blog in this case doesn't help. His iFrame points to a static HTML page. I have a String like this: //whether it be js or Flex...and my string has spaces b/w lines just like this var htmlString : String = htmlhead titletest/testbodymy body body/html; there's no way I know of to assign this to a new window or Flex object and have it display correctly. If I make the String above lal one line, then it works OK. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, tonyx_788 tonyx_788@ wrote: hi Suzy i think Phil is talking about coenraets blog, this is the link hope it helps http://www.coenraets.com/apps/iframe/index.htm **Saludos** Tony --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Phil Marston p.marston@ wrote: Hi Suzy, I can't remember which blog I saw it on (one of the Adobe guys I think), but I saw an example using an IFrame to load the HTML in. Then a custom component in the Flex movie sent messages to Javascript so the IFrame always appeared in the right place and the right size over the Flex page - it worked really nicely and sound like just what you need - sorry I can't be more help, but perhaps this'll jog the memory of someone who as a memory! HTH Phil Suzy Lawson wrote: Hello Group- I have an app that receives XML data over the socket. Specifically, it is data that is in 2 formats (plain text and HTML). The HTML that gets sent represents the FULL html code (i.e. the top-level 'html', 'meta', 'head', 'style', 'div', 'body' tags etc..). Sometimes the tags have namespaces and even 'class' attributes assigned to them which relate to styles defined w/i the style tag. For this reason, I can't just set the XML value to the 'htmlText' attribute of a text field. I tried using the ExternalInterface API and pass the HTML (see example below) to a javscript method which opens a new window and calls 'document.write(passedValueFromFlex)', but that does not work b/c of the extra rows between tags. If I manually remove the white spaces from each row where the HTML is one long String...it works fine. Using a parser to handle that would be near impossible to create though. Does anyone have any ideas for a solution (to display HTML) Thanks. message plainTextThis is the message./plainText htmlTextlt;htmlgt; lt;headgt; lt;/headgt; lt;body lang=EN-USgt; This is the lt;bgt;messagelt;/bgt;. lt;/bodygt; lt;/htmlgt; /htmlText /message -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
