I uploaded a Flex Project file with the working example, you can see if this works for you. Just refresh the blog page to get the new project file link.

Hey Mister,

truncateHTMLText() is working. Actually some how getTextStyle() is not working. i have commented getTextStyle() throughout the code. Everything works fine.

don’t know why getTextStyle() is not working for me

@Naveen,

I just copied the code, created a new Flex 3 application, pasted the code in the main MXML file and it ran just fine. Not sure what you are doing wrong, but it works.

Hi Mister,

This code doesn’t completely work for me. I am using Flex builder 3.

Methods::

getTextStyle() and
truncateHTMLText()

are not working.

Can you please let me know. Why they are NOT working?

Cheers,
Naveen

Very cool script you made there!
I’m trying to implement it to a TextField that can truncate given a max width and height, and it works almost perfectly.

I do seem to have problems with a text that start with a paragraph tag and ends with one. I get returned at the result.length == 0.

Is it a special case or a natural limitation in the script?

Thanks for the great code though!

The Java code was created by my spouse, my own personal in-house Java developer. I don’t believe we saved the code as she only created the example for me to convert to Flex. You can change the current class back to Java easily enough though.

Hi,

That was cool! Am actually looking for Java code to truncate HTML. Can you publish that if you still have it?

Thanks
