Flash XML CDATA related help needed.

    I have a flash template based on Flash XML which also takes formatted data via CDATA.

    I am trying to input my data into it via given xml file.

    But, when I enter the HTML formatted data into CDATA area.. The bold text styles are not showing up. only undelined is visible.

    My question is exactly what tags should be used for entries inside CDATA which will result in showing a well formatted HTML text inside flash movie.

    Also, my another query is can we introduce a tabled structure inside xml CDATA entry so that a sort of simple matrixed photo gallery can be made with it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi There....

    If you look at any help for As2 and As3, you can clearly understand that all the html codes and tags are not possible with Flash. For instance, you can use <b><i><u> and <br><font>, but you cannot use <tr><td> in flash for sure. Also, check the CDATA format and make sure it has the following structure. <XML><![CDATA[Any String]]></XML>

    Warm Regards,
    - J
