I’ve play with this and I can’t get it to work.
I have done the split after assigning the value of the xml value to a var _html:String, then I have done the replacement and still the stupid TextArea.htmlText can’t parse the html code.
var _html:String = event.result.detail.specs;
_html = _html.split(‘<’).join(”);
this.pData.htmlText = _html;

Hi All,

Thank you all for useful information on CDATA.

I need some help on CDATA; my issue may sound little strange. However, I badly need your response and inputs with this.

I am developing a desktop application using Flash, basically a xml based rapid authoring tool. I am using MDM zinc to access the windows api.

In this application, I need to save the data that user has created and read it. If user has entered the text something like this -

“”

while reading the content, I should be able to display the text including the tags.

But unfortunately, I am not able to do this in Flash, the CDTAT tags are being removed.

Could anybody tell how I can achieve this in Flash.

Thanks a lot in advance.
