The goal = to have different formatted text all in the same text field.
I am inserting text into seperate columns in a XLS Excel spreadsheet. There are 5 columns and each column will have a different formatting to it (which will be applied with CSS later). I turn the XLS into XML with a converter. I then import the XML into flash. I assign each text (from each column) to it’s own variable call (so I have 5 variables for each type of formatting).
I want each of the five text types to be it’s own paragraph in one final text field in flash. I am attempting to add line breaks using the HTML tag <BR>. I have told the text box on stage to render text as HTML. Here is the Code I have written (see specifically the blue):
**//--------------------------------------------------------------------------<initialize XML>--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------</initialize XML>-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------<call XML>---------------------------------------------------------------------------\
myXML.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
var BOLD12PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.BOLD12PT;
var NORM10PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.NORM10PT;
var BOLD12PTUNDERLINE = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.BOLD12PT1;
var RED10PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.RED10PT;
var ITALICIZED10PT = myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].attributes.ITALICIZED10PT;
[COLOR=blue][COLOR=black] loadTxt = function() {[/COLOR]
myTextField.text = BOLD12PT + “<BR>” + NORM10PT + “<BR>” + BOLD12PTUNDERLINE + “<BR>” + RED10PT + “<BR>” + ITALICIZED10PT;
}[/COLOR]
loadTxt();
} else {
myTextField.text = “Error”;
}
}
myXML.load(“CSS_Testing.xml”); //XML Location
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------</call XML>--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
stop;**
This is the output I get when I execute the SWF:
This text should be bold 12 pt<BR>This text should be default 10 pt.<BR>This text should be 12pt bold and underlined<BR>This text should be default red 10 pt<BR>This text should be italicized 10 pt.
I will worry about the CSS formatting next but why are my line breaks not working?
