ActionScript 1/2 :: Text Fields Resetting Characteristics (font, Size) When Tabbing To Them And Changing
Jun 7, 2010
When I set up 3 input text fields, I allow the user to change the font and size of those fields. If the user selects each one with the mouse and modifys them then no problems are seen. But if the user first changes the size and font of text field 2, then tabs to that text field and starts to change the text. The font and size properties revert back to the default.
I could re-apply the formating everytime the text field changes, but that seems like a bandaid to the problem.

I have a user text input field and a preview button, when they press preview the inputed text appears in a dynamic text field in another part of the window. I need to be able to change the font of the text in the dynamic field using buttons (so the user can see their text displayed in various different fonts which will be embedded into the swf). After watching various different tutorials I hashed together this code for my first button to change the font to Times New Roman which I embedded with the class name timesNew.
ActionScript Code:
times_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showTim);
function showTim(e:MouseEvent):void{
var oneFont = new timesNew();
var timForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
timForm.font = oneFont;
[Code] .....
When I run the movie everything works fine and the console shows no errors but when I press the button to change the font the text in the dynamic field simply disappears.

have created a scrolling text area in flash CS3 using a dynamic text box with text inside controlled by a couple of buttons using the .scroll property to add to the scroll value on each click of a button.i am wanting to add two new buttons to decrease and increase the font size of the text within the dynamic text area, which i thought should be fairly easy. i found a .size property which could be applied to text, but i do not think i am using it in the right way. here's what i have tried to do (where 'myText' is the instance name of my dynamic text area):
on (release) {
var myFormat = myText.getTextFormat();
myFormat.size += 10;

I am having some trouble figuring out how to work auto-tabbing between input text fields when a user inputs a character. I have a series of text boxes with maxChar set to 1, and when the user inputs a character, I would like it to auto-tab to the next one. I'm putting together a crossword-style banner ad so the auto-tabbing willtremendously. All the input text fields are instanced on the stage as input1, input2, etc; not called in from a custom class.

I am using a downloaded script and it is helping me out tremendously. After a little manipultion it is doing wonders for my intended project. The script yields a nunber into a dynamic text field that I would like to enlarge. In other words, make the font larger. I changed the size of the text field but the font size didn't change.Here's my script:
stop();
if (!initialized){
memory = 0;[code]...........

Why do the dynamic text font size appears smaller than what I specified in the flash dynamic text properties? I used a font size of 50 for the dynamic text and when I test movie, it appears to be only a font size of 12. Why is it so?

I have a form in Flash. I have the tab order set up thusly:
Code:
fname.tabIndex = 1;
mi.tabIndex = 2;
lname.tabIndex = 3;
[Code]....
Everything is fine, except the "state" field is actually a combo box component. It will tab from "city" to "state", but when you hit "Tab", it does not move the focus to the next field.
Is there some trick to this or some other code or a paramater I'm overlooking? Do I have to make a customer key listener to make it tab off a combo box?

I have a static area that I'd like to fill completely with text regardless of whether the text is 30 characters or 2 characters. More specifically the user has to find a certain number of any given letter before moving on in the game and I'd like their progress to be displayed in this static area.
So first I tried scaling the TextField but the text inside stays the same size.
Then I tried putting the TextField inside a MovieClip, turning on autoSize, then scaling the MovieClip but that distorts the text too much because autoSize doesn't retain the original proportions of the TextField.
This makes me think that the best solution would involve dynamically changing the size of the font to fit all of the characters inside a given area.

Has anyone seen this before, and if so, why does it happen? [URL] Click the Contact Us form and tab from one field to another. Or fill in the "Go Black" form at the bottom of the page and tab between fields. What's the deal with that white box? Where does it come from? Why is it there? How do I kill it forever?

How do I change the font size, shading and position of the text that shows up in an inputtext field. I am using CS4 and AS3.

Not really a AS3 issue, but I'm having a bunch of trouble changing the font size in a text field that pulls data from and XML file. I've changed every font size with the css file, but it doesn't result in any changes with the swf. If it's really that simple the XML and CSS are both here. Or if more is needed, here is the entire project.

I'm running CS3 and using AS2. I'm not new to Flash, but this is a new problem that suddenly just started happening.My text is displaying at the wrong size within flash, and when I export it, the text looks completely different. It's making it extremely difficult to work on my site, because any graphics I align with the text are way off when I preview the file.
I attached an image showing what I mean- notice how the green bar didn't change size, but in the preview image, the bar is way longer than the text. I have been working on this site for a while, and I had no trouble with it until today. Now all of my text in all of the files is screwed up in flash, but still looks fine in the html page.. I need to get this fixed so I can keep working on it!

I have a font named Garogier Regual. I use this font in illustrator and Photoshop just fine. But when I use it in flash , it displays the name Garogier ( not Garogier Regular ). But this is not the problem. When I test my movie it gets me an error :
#2161: An internal error occured while laying out the text.
I changed the textfiled type from TLF to Classic and the problem solved. When i use tlf textfiled with this font, it even displays my text very narrow and colorless.

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

I think the title says it all. I'm building website and I've come half way now just to notice that my clients cant see my font that supposed to be there. What I've learned so far is that in static text fields, flash should embed it itself since I can't reference to it + embedFonts property not working, how can I fix this problem? Anyone had anything similar?hat are common mistakes? I'm pretty new at all of this.

I get the following warning when I run my application:
warning: incompatible embedded font 'Arial' specified for spark.components::Label (Label104).This component requires that the embedded font be declared with embedAsCff=true.
The application I am working on is a mix of Halo and Sparks components as I am migrating it to Flex 4. The text that is showing in the text fields is defaulting the systems serif font. There are a few problems with this warning.
1) I am not embedding any fonts in the application. I am not even assigning the Arial font to any of the components.
2) If I check the "Use Flash Text Engine in MX components", then all the text fields in the app throw the warning. Not just the sparks text fields.
Why does flex 4 think that I am using an embedded font with the sparks components? Is there any way to get around this warning and have the text fields use a non embedded font?

So this only happens with text fields that are set directly on the stage at author time. Not text fields that are dynamically created through code. While yes, creating them through code is an awesome solution sometimes that's not really an option for me.
Code:
import flash.text.*;
// txt is a text field created on the stage with it's font set to "Verdana"

I'm very new to Flash, but I have been learning loads and getting some good results so far. Browsing these forums has been a massive help. However today I have hit a problem in what should be almost the simplest line of code I know how to write (variable = x), and could do with some advice. I have a simple program containing a button which will change a variable when pressed. There is also a text-box that will output that variable. However when I press the button, the variable will change, but then immediately revert to it's previous value.
