Hi,
i am having an annoying problem with an xml document and flash.
i have a dynamic textfield on the stage and this is set to render html.
in the xml doc i have a child node that is wrapped around cdata (as in the kirupa tut). No matter what i do, i can’t get flash to correctly parse and display the text.
i.e.
in the xml:
\make this bold\]]\>
so in flash i get this in the text field:
\make this bold\
tried it with different tags, and read all sorts of forums including this:
