Hi Maldor,

this is the correct XML you should use ( for 1 category and one product ):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
<category name="category 1">
		<product name="product 0" thumb="http://www.flepstudio.org/utilita/ProductsExhibitor/thumbs/thumb_0.jpg" image="http://www.flepstudio.org/utilita/ProductsExhibitor/images/pic_0.jpg" price="1.00 $" detailsURL="http://www.flepstudio.org">
		<description><![CDATA[<p align="left"><b>1 Novembre 2007, Frosinone</b> -  siamo lieta di annunciare che, a partire dal 2 Feb 2008, l'azienda e il nuovo ed unico distributore ufficiale dei prodotti bla bla bla  PDF</p>]]></description>
		</product>
	</category>
</products>

and you get the description + CDATA tag as following:

node.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;

add that to your textfield:

des_txt.htmlText=node.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;

thanks for your reply flep .......this works fine on its own ......sorry if i didnt explain myself the best or put up the wrong code.....what i want to do is have the products display thing display html text in the the products display .....what i first tried to do is use the class from your HTML in XML tutorial which is the as3 code i posted earlier and add it as a class file to be imported along with the other classes ....the only problem with this is IT DOESNT WORk.....more staright forward question is what do i have to do to the Main.as file in your Product display thing in order for it to read html tags!.......

Open Product.as, function init.
You must write des_txt.htmlText=des;

[Maldor]

Hello there Flash Guru.
I would like to ask,
can i change the graphic interface of this amazing porduct illustration(i mean colors,buttons,etc)
and use it in my website?
Of course i dont know exactly how to do that but just asking before beggining with it

[Maldor]

yes you can enrgy....the first thing you will need to do is downlaod Flash CS3 from adobe.there is a 30 day free trial version....from there you can download the file from fleps site and open it up and change it...flep gave me a lot of help on this and i endd up altering it quite a bit....if you have any mor e questions lemme know,im always poping in and out........
