Flex Mobile textArea styling the text?

Mar 1, 2012 7:32 AM

I've read in several documents about TLF not supported in Flex Mobile. I then read about text fields vs textArea and css Style sheets.

I'm trying to keep this really simple 1. cause I'm learning 2. So I can build on best practices 3. I'm still learning....

 

Example:

Main

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView"

  creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler(event)">

<fx:Script>

  <![CDATA[

   import mx.events.FlexEvent;

   [Bindable]

   private var xmlInfo:XML;

   import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;

   protected function info_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void

   {

   

    xmlInfo = new XML(event.result.text);← I want to say this is where I need to tell Flex how to interprit the incoming text format.

   

   }

  

   protected function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void

   {

    infoXML.send();

       

   }

  ]]>

</fx:Script>

  <fx:Declarations>

   <s:HTTPService id="infoXML" url="assets/data.xml"

         resultFormat="e4x"

         result="info_resultHandler(event)"/>

</fx:Declarations>

  <s:TextArea id="spInfo" text="{xmlInfo}" width="100%"/>

</s:View>

 

 

data.xml

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<info>

<text><![CDATA[<b>Bold</b>Not bold<font face="Arial">Arial text</font>Not Arial

]]>

</text>

</info>

 

Mobile app output

<b>Bold</b>Not bold<font face="Arial">Arial text</font>Not Arial

 

Thank you in advance.
