I have a string: private str:String = ‘ <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <div>TEST</div> <span

  • 0

I have a string:

private str:String = '
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div>TEST</div>
<span id="t1">T1 Content</span>
<span class="t2">T2 Content</span>
</body>
</html>';

I want to parse the string. Next, I get innerHTMl via Object, ID or Class.

E.g.:

Objects: Body, Div, Span
IDs: t1
Classes: t2

In PHP with the class, it’s easy. But I could not create this build with Flex.

Thanks for help…

    Convert it to native XML in as3, then use e4x to parse the information required:

    var xml:XML = XML(str);

//trace the content of any span with the id of "t1"
trace(xms..span.(attribute("id") == "t1"));

//trace the content of any span with the class t2
trace(xml..span.(attribute("class") == "t2"));

//trace the contents of the first div
trace(xml..div[0]);

    For more on e4x, this is a good primer:
