XML export

[Jacob_Stevens@adobeforums.com]

By using a combination of the two workarounds suggested above, I have just about managed to get character styles mapped for the remainder of the articles. For each troublesome one, I was deleting ID prefs, then viewing the paragraph styles palette and the tags palette, and putting it to 'Show Text Threads'. Finally, clicking on the two main stories, then the pasteboard, then trying the mapping again. At some point, each article reluctantly gave in and did it without crashing. Some hours later ...

I now have one stubborn article, though, that won't allow the actual XML export. A window pops up saying 'Content contains characters which cannot be encoded', unhelpfully not telling me where. I vaguely recall seeing this once before, but I can't remember what it signifies or how to solve it. Have you seen that error message before, Phil?

I've seen this error but it didn't prevent the export of the XML file in my recollection. There are a number of undesirable things that happen with symbols, special characters, and control characters on XML output that the user has no control over :(.

Looking for way to export as XML file from flash. I know that I can copy
the created file from flash into wordpad and then create
the XML file. Can I do it directly from flash with an export to XML button

Kind Regards

I'm kinda new myself to this but I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Native Flash cannot write to local drive. It can however communicate with the
container that would communicate with local computer file system. In this case
you need to write the container or use a third part product such as Zinc.

Native Flash can use http and communicate with a web server and the server
script can write XML to file on the server.

Many thanks for you answer Lon, I thought that was the case

Is there a way to use xml export to export a set of dynamic nodes and then dynamic attributes to those nodes?

The Spry framework has a sample set of code that has similar functionality for several server languages:

Take a look at the "automatic" versions which automatically child tags for each attribute (column).

It should be easy to modify to create attributes instead if that's what you really need, but for many folks having child tags works just as well.
