RAW XML EDITOR WITH HINTING AND VALIDATION

After looking at your XML I found both your problems.

The hinting is working perfectly, every bit of text in your XML is a node, no text data, no CDATA , etc. So it is coloring it all the node color, which is exactly what it should do it is not portrayed as having attribute text colored, nor is that said in the description, and for good reason. That particular coloring separation would increase the processing necessary for parsing the text by many times on every keystroke (I know because I tried it already before putting up the project), essentially rendering this project not very useful to anybody, so sorry, but in order for a project like this to be possible in Flash it needs to have the extremely optimized parsing algorithm that I created for it

Two, validate your XML using the button before saving, and you will find that there is a mistake. When I looked I found that you have an extra finishing tag for the last album node. This could very well make you lose your xml formatting. Also check your config file and make sure your line break type is correct for the OS you want to edit on later.

It’s working exactly as advertised, just be careful in your editing. Validate your XML for mistakes often, and I would recommend only saving if the validation says it’s valid XML , else find your error or revert back to your last save

If you have any more questions feel free to email me directly, thanks

And if you found fixing that did not solve your problem then email me as well, and I will do my best to make sure I find whatever problem there may be and update the project for all

I’ve read your questions many times and I have no idea what you are saying or asking, please be more clear.

Go ahead and email me, tell me where you have your editor posted etc, and I’ll reply. Sorry, but I’m not willing to post my email address on a popular and crawlable html site, the spam would be horrendous.

The editor is a standalone page. If you are confident enough in your actionscript skills then you are welcome to try to incorporate it into another project, but it was not built to do that and I do not support it.

The editor does not care about file type, it will load a .txt file just as easily as a .xml file Or any text based file for that matter (.xml, .htm, .html, .xsl, etc.)

For the curious, yes I did send it to him, and I’ll send it to other buyers if they request

Sorry, put it aside because I wanted to glance at the code later and forgot about it, I’ll mail ya back today

it uses PHP , a server side technology, to do the actual file save. AIR runs locally, so it cannot use PHP (unless the user specifically sets PHP up to run on their computer). Therefore AIR has it’s own saving methods. So it would not be extremely difficult to do, but you would need to change the save method to use the AIR method of saving instead of PHP .
