I need to make the "rcheck2_txt" rotate 180. With this script it does what I need. But currently the centre point is in the top-left corner of the dynamic text box. How do i change the X Y cordinates so the centre point is in the middle of the dynamic text box?
[CODE]...
is possible to align text in dynamic text control vertically to the middle? In flash CS3.
View 1 RepliesI have two rectangles: var rect1:Rectangle = new Rectangle(66,147,89,67);
var rect2:Rectangle = new Rectangle(155,147,89,67);
How to calculate the centre point of these rectangles based on their x and y positions. I want the centre point to be calculated with relative to stage
I want to make a kind of splat with some dynamic text in the middle. i have the shape, but i cant resize the text to always be centralized...
View 1 RepliesI am generating sprites programatically like this:
this.food = new Sprite();
this.food.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
this.food.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 10, 10);
this.food.filters = [new GlowFilter(0xFF6699, .80, 5, 5, 2, 2, false, false)];
this.food.graphics.endFill();
[Code]...
I basically want the food sprite to spin slowly about its center, not its x and y value which is the top left corner of the sprite. How can I make the anchor the center of the sprite?
Just a quick one. Using AS3, how would I ensure that a movieClip always stays in the centre of the stage on resize?
View 1 Repliesi have a textbox on stage which scrolls text from the left hand to the right side of the screen. When the textbox to other side of the screen when reaching a certain point.I would like to change the registration point of the textbox . Start on furthest left hand side not the right Or another idea is to minus the distance of the textsbox.width
box.onEnterFrame = function(){
news._x +=5;
if(news._x >= 800){
[code]......
is possible but dynamic text fields seem to have two registration points: one which determines their location on the stage, and another which determines the origin of their coordinate system.
Code:
/*var t:TextField = new TextField();
t.text = "Hello";
t.x = 155;
[code]....
If t is a dynamic text field you placed on the stage in the authoring environment, you'll see two separate circles around two separate points, when there should just be one point to encircle. And the trace statement will trace 2 different points as well, offset just 2 pixels in the x direction and 2 pixels in the y direction, regardless of font or font size. (I commented out the first part of the code since text fields created with code will behave normally with just one registration point.)
Is it possible to change the registration points of a movie clip say to top left or to centre for example using actionscript
View 1 Repliesi have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )

View 4 RepliesI have an input text box (txtInput) and a dynamic text box (dynTxt). I want the dynamic text to stay black but highlight a segment of that text in yellow depending on certain characters.

I'm pulling text from an xml file into a dynamic text field and I need to highlight the text one paragraph at a time depending on where the timeline playhead is. I was thinking of doing this by changing the color of the text but I don't know how to do it inside the CDATA tags.At the moment one CDATA populates one text field.Another option is that there would be a movie clip behind the text that would jump to highlight a specific paragraph but then I would need to know how much vertical space each paragraph takes.
View 3 RepliesI have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.
View 5 RepliesBasically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:
this["text_1"].text = "Hello";
The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.
Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.
Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.
I am trying to change the text color in a dynamic text field with xml.[code]but this creates a text field for you, which I dont need it created already have a dynamic text field with the var mybtninfo.What I have right now to get the text to show up in the field is:now only want to change the color of the text in the box thru XML.
View 8 RepliesLet me explain the setup:There is a dynamic text box called, for example, myText stored inside a movieclip that is called myMovieclip. Now, I simply want to change the text of the dynamic text box within the movieclip. Yes I know:PHP Code:
_root.myMovieclip.myText.text = "Hello!";
The problem that I have however, is that the instance name myText is stored in a variable, lets call it myVariable. So in very simple layout, it looks like this:
PHP Code:
myVariable = "myText";
_root.myMovieclip.myVariable.text = "Hello!";

I'm creating Flash-based software that has text boxes where users write in the answers to questions. I want the text that the user types to be vertically aligned to the middle of the text box, so that even if the response is two or three lines, it is still centered in the box.
It doesn't appear that I can accomplish this through the properties window in Flash. Am I missing something? Or is it possible to set the properties of the text box with actionscript, and would that allow me to vertically align the text?
I need to change volume bar (dynamic text) with two btn? - and + if you press + (plus) on dynamic text must to add 1 and so on.

I am somewhat new to Actionscipt and I need a bit of help. I have created a dynamic text box that is being fed from an xml file. Depending on the data (whether positive or negative), I would like the output text to either be green or red (green for positive, red for negative). I�m sure that has to be a condition statement written and applied to the object, but I do not know how to do.
View 1 Repliesi like to do a color change for a dynamic text field if it statisfy a certain condition, like if the value is below 0.
i tried below. "profit" is the dynamic text

profit.color=FF0000 }
wanting to change the color to red. But it doesn't work.
I'm making an activity where you drag and drop text (in mc's) into a specific column. There are two columns, the left is for workplace responsibility the right side is for personal responsibility. I've made the actionscript so that I can drop multiple targets into any of the correct spaces they're supposed to go to and I want the text to appear in that particular spot.
At the moment I have dynamic text, and when the text/mc is dropped into the box I have the code (textOne.text=event.target.name) - and so the instance name shows, but since you cant have whitespace in the instance names its not formatted the way I want it.
I tried using:
Code:
if(event.target.name==teamPlayer_mc){
textOne.text = "Team Player";}
But that doesn't work..

Is there a way to "listen" to dynamic text? I have this dynamic textfield on the stage and I want to call a function once the the dynamic text has been changed. I tried to add event listener but it seems to work only on INPUT text.
View 4 RepliesUsing this code I am filling a dynamic text box with numbers 1-number defined by xml:
Code:
var pageNum:String;
txt.text = "";
for (var i:int=1; i < myXML.*.length()+1; i++) {
pageNum = String(i);
txt.appendText(pageNum+" ");
}
What I would like to do is be able to change the colour of one number. If the dynamic text box has the numbers 1-5 in it I would, for example, like to change the colour of the number 2. Have it set to blue but the rest to white. How would I do this without changing the colour of the entire text field?
