Using CDATA in Script (XML)

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an XML var using CDATA to get some htmlText.

Sample:

<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
          var newXML:XML = XML("<node><![CDATA["+ myRichTE.htmlText+" ]]></node>")
    ]]>
 <fx:Script>
 <mx:RichTextEditor id="myRichTE" />

But i get an error on this line. (give it a try, something about an unclosed tag, can't give the exact english error message since i got french UI)

It seems that you can't use

<![CDATA[xxxx]]>

in Script section of an Application (in addition of the main CDATA which contains all Script), since it interprets as a real CDATA.

And I think I can't do without it to store the htmlText inside an XML node.

Any ideas ?

(maybe by "escaping" the CDATA tag ?)

Thanks a lot.

What if you passed a string to the XML constructor instead of actual XML?

Indeed, actually, it is as simple as this :

<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          myXMLnode = myRichTE.htmlText 
     ]]>
<fx:Script>
<mx:RichTextEditor id="myRichTE" />

It is correctly inserted into the XML, by replacing tags with their corresponding html entities.
