View 1 RepliesI have some input text fields (by the text tool, not the component) in my form that I was wondering if they could be auto-formatted. I was looking specifically for dates & numbers. For example when the user inputs 082606 and then tabs away it would immediately update to 08/26/06, or when the user inputs 50000 it would immediately update to 50,000.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create a flash RSS reader, mostly for fun and to learn AS3 better.It's fairly small, 150x250 px, so some of the headlines will be too long. When that happens, I want to add three period marks at the end.Example:The headline is "Big hurricane might hit Monday".I want AS3 to format this to "Big hurricane ..."How can this be done?I'm thinking about adding an eventListener that count the number of letters, but how to make it add three dots after say the 20th letter and delete the rest of the text?
View 2 RepliesI have text that is in a scrollable box using the scroll bar component and I would like to be able to format headlines differently than the main body copy, etc. How do I do this? The text is dynamic, multiple line.Was hoping not to have to use external files.
View 1 RepliesI'm importing text via an XML file that will then be displayed in a dynamic text field. The text is about 1 sentence long but one of the words in the sentence must be bold and a different color. So I've added some HTML tags in the XML node to change the color and format but when I test the file the html tags show in the dynamic text field and the text is NOT formatted.
Here is my code:
I bring in the XML data with this AS3 code:
ActionScript Code:
var _xml:XML;
var _xmlList:XMLList;
var _xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
Am I not using the CDATA tag properly? Or do I need to change something in the way I call up the data in the xml node ?
I'm having some serious problems with my dynamic text fields. The case is, I format the dynamic text fields to have character spacing and line spacing both equal to 1. Everything seems fine in the SWF when the text is actually typed INTO the dynamic text field, but when I make it fetch text from Actionscript or an external XML file Flash player renders the text as if it had 0 character spacing and 0 line spacing.

View 1 Repliescreate a picture gallery with XML. There is a loader progress which simply displays a percentage when you click on any image. I have been trying to fomrat this text but with little luck. I am able to apply colors to the text but unable to change the font, size, weight etc.
Here is the text with a color applied
Actionscript Code:
fullPreloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {target.createTextField("my_txt",fullImage_mc.getNextHighestDepth,230,300,300,300);target.my_txt.textColor = 0xFFF;};

trying to format some dynamic text fields (i.e.) Im trying to specify the font style, the font size and colour, but my code below doesnt seem to be working, no errors being returned.
ActionScript Code:
private var fontStyle:TextFormat;
fontStyle = new TextFormat("Arial",18,0x006666,false,true);
2. Also trying to specify the physical size of the dynamic text field via code, so that long sentences for example can be fully seen without being cut off, see image below.But Im unsure on how to work out the code for doing this tried the regular googling tatic but no results. my dynamic text fields are added to the stage via addChild(); so just physically changing the size of them on the stage .FLA isnt an option as they arent actually on the stage.
Calling all text box wizards I have a dynamic text box, into which I import table data, sourced through a PHP.Its a basic calendar, where the client fills in a table "date, venue, etc."At the moment all the text is coming though, in one big lump, into my dynamic text box.Is there a way to format the information inside a dynamic text box so that it keeps a table/column layout?
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I have a dynamic text box that I'm loading data into from a PHP file using loadVariablesNum("data.php", 0);
The PHP runs a SQL query that fetches data from MySQL. The data in the MySQL database changes frequently, and I want to update the dynamic text box with the latest info.
How do you do that? Or is it possible? I assume you use setInterval.
Currently, it only updates the field if I visit the PHP file and refresh the data. Otherwise, the dynamic text box just displays the data from the last SQL query.
I have a dynamic text box called logtxt. I add text to this whenever i click on my box object.(this works fine) I have a UIScrollBar attached to the text box(still works). But I need it to automatically scroll to the bottom whenever I add text.
View 1 RepliesI have a series of dynamically created text fields that form a grid and I want people to be able to auto tab through each field in the grid. I want them to be able to enter in 1 character and then have the focus move to the next field in the grid.All of the TextFields are named "inputBox" with an ID number added to the end using the name property of the TextField class. So they are named as follows inputBox0, inputBox1, inputBox2, etc.Now for the code I am using to change focus to the next textfield:
stage.addEventListener(KeyBoardEvent.KEY_UP, checkTextField);
function checkTextField(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
var instanceName = e.target.name;

Trying to connect an input text field to a dynamic text field - each with different formatting (font, size and justification). So far I'm just using the properties box to format the text. Using a.2.0. It works easily in a small test, but in a larger .fla, the results dynamic text field retains the formatting of the input field.

I created a flash that's loading dynamic text from an external txt file. It's ON AIR flash that you can see on top right on [URL]
Now the thing is that I WANT THIS TXT CONTENT TO REFRESH AUTOMATICALLY... because I am actually loading txt file that's getting updated every few minutes, but flash content does not update, so the visitor must refresh page on go to some other page so the content will change again.
How do I make this work so that dynamic text in flash change whenever external txt file content change, without refreshing or changing the page.

View 1 RepliesI have dynamic text field that must be a fixed width and height. The actual text that will populate the dynamic text field is variable. What I would like to do is to reduce the font size if the text does not completely display within the text field's dimensions. How I can accurately perform this? Also, I am using AS 2.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to have a dynamic text field with a black background. I want the text to be of fixed width, but expandable height, and for the background to grow with the text field depending on the input. I looked at the "autoSize" property for TextField, but it looks like that only adjusts the width.
Some "pseudocode" for your consideration:
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextTitle.text="Title";
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextBody.text="Text body...";
rolloverInfoBox.infoTextBody.autoSize=true; // doesn't work; just for reference
rolloverInfoBox.expandableBackground.height=rollov erInfoBox.infoTextBody.height;

I have this script path to an XML attribute[code]...
Also, I have issues with spaces not being added around operators even though I have that set in my preferences. I have access to Adobe's bug system but Flash is not listed, so I can't report the bug. Even their general website "Request a feature/Report a bug" form does not list Flash Pro under the list of apps.
took me like 20 minutes to get why my code is not functionning... this line: tempRef.x=(limitL-dist-tempRef.width/2)+(tempRef.width+dist)*(i+1); after auto format becomes like this: tempRef.x=limitL-dist-tempRef.width/2+tempRef.width+dist*i+1; that's not the same thing at all...may I know why this is happening?
View 2 RepliesI have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

When I click the check mark, message 'The script contains no errors'When I click the Auto format button, message 'This script contains syntax errors, so it cannot be Auto Formatted.ix the errors and try again.'I've never had these two buttons disagree.Code compiles normally and everything works.
View 2 RepliesI've got a line in my Actionscript like this:[code]If I click the auto format button with this line in there, it adds unnecessary semicolons through the rest of the code and the file stops working. Is there something wrong with the way I have this coded? It works just fine with the code in there before I hit the auto format button.
