Using htmlwrapper to render bits of HTML

[robmcm]

Hi,

I was wondering it I could use htmlwrapper for rendering RSS content
that is in an HTML format. This content wouldn't be full HTML, so I
would have to hack the Flex example to cut out anything unnecessary.

I was wondering if this would be a good idea, or is it perhaps
overkill, is there a better option?

Thanks

Rob

Are you talking about htmlText? This is quite limited in what it can
render.

At the moment I am looking at using this, and adding styles etc using
regexp.

Annoying the application is running in AIR so should be able to use
the webkit HTML tag, problem is the code is in a sub application and
therefore doesn't have access to the AIR API :'(

Assign the rss to a textfield and css every node's style, there are
articles on actionscript.org for that.

Still not enough? Use XSLT to transform your RSS into any HTML you like.

Yes you can in a way but you will have to modify a few things and
change a lot. A html div tag has rules associated with how to render
it self, if you are using rss and you have a bunch of item tags you
are going to have to come up with your own rules. This is all
possible but you will have to come up with a lot of very non-standard
stuff to make it work.
