In a similar fashion to my AS3 Graphing Classes, my MathML parser was created out of necessity. I was working on a project that had to display some equations, but drawing them out manually seemed a bit over the top.

I originally looked to see if anything was already available on the net but had no luck. Considering that the only other option was to create each equation manually, I decided to try and write my own MathML parser.

After a bit of research and playing around I came up with a set of classes that worked in a recursive manner to generate the equation.

The example file below demonstrates how the parser works.

For anyone who finds themselves in need of some MathML ActionScript classes, I have included a cleaned up version of my code for people to download here: MathML Classes

They are by no means a complete solution, but they may prove useful to someone. Feel free to use them as you see fit, but please don’t harass me if you don’t like my code

On the side note, there is a program called Amaya that can be used to generate MathML in a pretty easy to use interface. You can download it for free from here.
