Formatting Tags appearing in TextArea Component

I'm having an issue with TextFormat tags that are appearing
in textfields. Here's an overview of what I'm doing:
Basically, I'm trying to grab the text from a textArea
component: (myText = myTextArea.text")
Because I want to retain formatting, I have the textArea set
to be html.
Thus, myText becomes the text you see below
So the myText data is then stored in XML, but later when I
try to access it, it fills that same textArea component with the
literal code rather than the formatted text. How do I take that
TextFormat string and convert it back to it's original form? I've
tried myTextArea.htmlText but I guess that isn't it. Thanks for the
help!
Thanks!

Let me make my question easier to understand: ;-)
I've got the text formatting (below) in a string. Using that
string, how do I display the text it contains correctly?
Thanks!

How to insert formatted text in a JTextPane component?

Hello,
This is my first post in a java forum so i hope to get help :)
Anyway, i am facing some problems in developping my project , the project consists of a tool to provide text editing allowing text formatting like MS Word , it allows different font style , size , color , text alignment...etc
My program generates .html files i.e. the text formatting is obtained using html tags ...
My problem is when the user opens the file again , any text formatting is unsaved, meaning, he MOSt continue typing using the same font size , style...etc any change in the format is unsensed and surely not saved in the html file .
till now i can't doubt where exactly is my problem .. but i'll be here for any attempts to help me :)
Thnx a lot

unfortunately it doesn't work this way(or I am doing it wrong as I don't know anything about css)
If I set white-space: nowrap the text is displayed in one single line ( so probably I implemented it the right way)
but with white-space:pre he still ignores all the whitespaces!
reading the same text (from a microsoft sql server table)with a textarea component all whitespaces and line breaks are shown! there has to be a way to make the static text or label component act this way(I don't want to use the textarea component because it's ugly and doesn't serve for my purpose).
can anybody help me?
edit: observation:
if I use "nowrap" for the textarea component he still keeps all whitespaces WITHIN the string but displays the whole string in one line
but somehow he deletes white spaces in the beginning of the string
the static text/label components delete all whitespaces before AND within the string

How can i display image in mx:TextArea Component?

I found display img tag in htmlText of mx:TextArea component
is very difficult in Flex Air
I new a simple air project in flex builder, put the code
below in it, i put a glad.png file in the src folder, every thing
is OK, when i run it, image cannot be displayed. why this happend,
I search the google for the solution, it seems there is a bug in
air, and told me to use mx:HTML coponent, but that component still
can not display img tag.
could any one help me with this?
<mx:TextArea width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:htmlText>
<![CDATA[
<a href='
http://www.adobe.com'><img
src='glad.png'/></a>Click the image to go to the Adobe
home page.
]]>
</mx:htmlText>
</mx:TextArea>

I ran into a similar problem and wasn't able to find a way to have regular Flex components (like Text and TextArea) display <img> tags in their htmlText. Everything works find in a web-based Flex application, but once the same code was used in AIR, the images just wouldn't display.
I changed my display to use the mx:HTML component and everything worked fine (I was using only external images).

A few questions about using an XML file to add text into a TextArea component set as html

I'm using AS2 in Flash CS3.
I have a TextArea component in the stage that's loading its text from an XML and I've been able to use the ul and li tags to create lists. However, when I try to include a nested list it just inserts a line break between the nested list and the main list rather than indent it further. Is there a solution for this issue?
Failing that, how would I be able to add non-breaking spaces into the XML so they will render inside the TextArea component? I've tried and   without success. I scoured the net for some help with this and found some information about modifying the font embedding xml file with a new entry for the non-breaking space and that didn't work either, so that leaves me somewhat stumped.

flash doesn't handle nested lists (as you now know). you can work-around that limitation using css and creating your own indent styles. css have a marginLeft property you can use.

HTML Tags appear in Notes : how to removing display HTML Correctly.

Hi the Notes section of HTML CLient for service request, we are seeing HTML Tags appearing in the following format.
<html><b>Some message/b></html>
We want to make it appear in HTML format. Not with the HTML Tags. Is there some way to get rid of the HTML Tags ?
Appreciate you inputs.
Rgds

I guess you need to explain your page structure and actions you are doing in a more detailed way. You mentioned a table Jtf_NOTES_B, is it a OAF page or a JSP page ?

Can I display formated text on a TextArea

I am developing a chat applet. I want to display texts from chatters in a TextArea with specific colour and font. But TextArea only contain a method AppendText(String) where displaying plain text is only possible. Please anyone help me to display formatted text in a TextArea(or any relavent component).
Thank you very much.

You will probably want to look at JEditorPane instead.

TextArea Component - a href will not work locally (on CDROM)

Hi,
I have many products out there that use a TextArea Component
with an <a> tag that calls another url as in:
<a href="anotherPage.html">Click Here</a>
This functionality stop working on Flash Player 9. My old
products are useless until Adobe fixes the bug, but now I have to
figure out how a way to get around this.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Thanks! That helps although the simptoms are new.
This was working on Flash Player 8, the version in which they
decided to bring about this sandboxes ordeal.
And now in Flash Player 9 it still works if I tell the getURL
to target a "_blank" page. It only breaks when I target "_self".
Now, that's not very secure to me.
But I wish they come up with a better solution. With the
sandbox issue the power of Flash has been rendered useless in local
devices. I'm think of developing in a different language just
because of this.

TextArea component scrollpolicy being ignored

The scroll policy for the textArea component appears to be "auto", and that works just fine.
However, I want to be able to turn it off in certain situations, i.e., not have the scroll bar appear.
I do the following which I thought would turn it off but the scroll bar still shows up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Code Snippet:
     myTF = new TextFormat("Arial", 10, 0xFFFFFF,false);
     myText_mc.myTextArea.setStyle("textFormat", myTF);
     myText_mc.myTextArea.verticalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
     myText_mc.myTextArea.horizontalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
Thanks,
Vivian

should be all lower case
myText_mc.myTextArea.verticalScrollPolicy = "off";

$_POST textArea component font size

I have not seen anything on this, could someone help me out.
I have textArea component (and even tried a dynamic and input
text field) that I input text into and
$_POST to a php file that sends the variables to me in email.
Simple enough, right.
Ok, well when I send to the PHP and have it "echo" to the
stage it's HUGE also in my email it's big.
my other INPUT components that I have set up for name and
such are the right size.
I have a feeling it's nothing to do with the PHP but with the
varible info. being sent to it
using the textArea component. Does anybody know what's going
on?
Oh, the dynamic and input text fields (not components) that I
use don't even $_POST.
Thanks for any help.

We have been trying to figure this problem out. Still no answer but it appears to having nothing to do with TextArea or embedding fonts. I have an old text field which displays 10pt Arial as 10pt Arial. If I create a new text field in the same symbol, on the same layer, or another layer, with the same exact properties, 10pt Arial, the new text field displays the font in something smaller, more like 7 pt. If I copy the old text area it stays correct as 10 pt.
Several people have looked over all properties that we can think of and as far as we can tell the two text fields are exactly the same except they display the font smaller (and it can be another font, they all come out too small). During one exploration something was done, which we can't duplicate, that "fixed" the Flash so that a new text field displayed the correct font size. We were using the same file (which we hadn't saved).
Any help would be appreciated. I will update here if we locate the problem. Thanks!

Flash CS5 How does one change background color in TextArea Component

I'm trying to change the background color of a TextArea Component. Does anyone know how to do this?
function processXML(e:Event):void {
var strTextBox:String;
myText.visible=true;
myText.setStyle("contentBackgroundColor", 0x000000); //Does not work..nor does   myText.setStyle("backgroundColor",0x000000);
myXML = new XML(e.target.data);
strTextBox = "<a href='" + myXML.Branch[0].linkURL + "'> More Info...</a>";
myText.htmlText=strTextBox;

for that one you have use styles:
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat;
   newFormat.bold = true;
   newFormat.size = 18;
   newFormat.color = 0xFFFFFF; //I'm wanting white font on black background.
   //apply the format:
myText.setStyle("textFormat",newFormat);
   myText.visible=true;
myText.textField.background=true;
myText.textField.backgroundColor=0x000000;

How can I access the content of a textarea component?

I'm trying to use a javascript form editor in my jsf project.
The form editor writes to an html <textarea> component.
The jsp page looks like this:
<div style="height: 336px; left: 0px; top: 0px; position: absolute; width: 672px">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas",
theme : "advanced",
</script>
<textarea cols="50" name="content" rows="15">This is some content that will be editable with TinyMCE.</textarea>
</div>
The content of the <textarea> component is changed with the editor.
What I need to do is capture that content after it has been edited.
How can I do that??
Thanks

I have a similar problem. When I try to watch the rented movie a pop up says "Cannot Open: The content is not authorized" What exactly is the problem. I'm not in the US at the current moment. I'm in France. But that shouldn't be a problem right?

How do I keep the name tags in Picasa Web Albums from appearing on the images by default? With Explorer, name tags only appear when mousing over the image, but with Firefox, all the tags appear on the picture as soon as it is loaded, which looks messy.

I use Picasa to create web albums, and I tag people who appear in the pictures. With Explorer, the name tags do not appear on the pictures until I mouse over a specific person, at which point the tag appears. With Firefox, the name tags appear as soon as the picture is loaded, and only disappear when you mouse over the people in the picture. This makes the picture look messy; by default, one would want to see a picture without tags all over people's faces.
The only way to "fix" this is to disable the name tags completely (or tell people to use Explorer!), but this is not an ideal solution, since I would like to be able to share albums with people's names in them.

TextArea component AS3

I'm having trouble both working out or finding out how to
apply an imported css file to the CS3 TextArea component. I've
frequently done this in AS2 using Flash 8, but that code no longer
works. If anyone knows could you please let me know. Here's the AS2
code I've used previously:
private function loadCss(){
var myStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
myStyle.load(this.CssPath+".css"); // the CssPath variable
here was supplied within an object passed through to the
constructor
textArea.styleSheet = myStyle;
loadXml();
}

Thank you Anirudh,
I have been using the TextArea component because it has code to handle scrollbars, and in Flash this component is a wrapper for a TextField object. As far as I can see this is not the case in Flex, and my AS3 code sets almost all of the TextField attributes, so I probably can't use Flex and the Flash Builder anyway. At least not without throwing all my code away.
Besides, the .swf file generated seems to be much bigger than in Flash.

TextArea component wont word wrap.. help!

I cant seem to get the TextArea component in Flash 8 to word
wrap. I've set the word wrap parameter to "true" but it will not
word wrap. It just puts all the text in one line. How do you fix
this? Also, is there a way to control the font size in the TextArea
component?
Thanks!

ad 1. sorry but in my instance true is set by default to word
wrap option and it works.
ad 2 instanceName.setStyle("fontSize",24)
u can learn more about TextArea by lookin to the script below
( its just an example):
function setStyles(instance) {
instance.setStyle("themeColor", "blue");
instance.setStyle("color", "blue");
instance.setStyle("fontFamily", "Courier New");
instance.setStyle("fontSize", 12);
instance.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
instance.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xDDE0FF);
instance.setStyle("borderStyle", "alert");
setStyles(myTextArea);
