I have a standard text field which is set (using theproperties window) to 'Dynamic Text'. I have the following code to set the text...eval("_root.thead"+i).htmlText = tmp;When I view the program the text field is Input, and notdynamic!I have tried including the line ...eval("_root.thead"+i).type = "dynamic"... but this has no effect.Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious?
View 1 RepliesI am populating a dynamic text box with some information that comes from an xml.
//fill in the text
infoBox.informationText.htmlText=
"<font size='16' color='#FFFAF0'>"+calledMarkerIndex+[code]....
I am also placing an image in the text box which you can see from the url above.I would like this url to be dynamic just like the other variables that are filling in the text box calledMarkerIndex, calledMarkerDate, calledMarkerDescription.
I have another variable which specifies the url I'd like named calledMarkerContent. I've tried simply chaning the text piece for this but it does not work.
"<img src='calledMarkerContent'/>"+
I feel like maybe I am just making a scripting error. Or maybe I cannot use a dynamic variable in this place.
I need to be center htmlText loaded from XML into an autosize textfield.I've already tried to edit format, autosize center, but it stay at left.
Code:
var myFont2:Font = new Font2();
textFormat2.font = myFont2.fontName;

HTMLText is displaying really strangely. I'm displaying a textField with htmlText provided through XML, and in this bulleted list it'll display the first line all on one line, keep going off the end of the textareas size (ie. not do multiline) until the last word of the bullet, then put that word at the start of the next line. And it'll put the last word on the next line no matter how long your bullet item is.
eg.
myField.htmlText = "<li>Seek the input of experts</li>;
Would output
'seek the input of
experts'
I've checked and this thread was similar however I've removed all my tweens to test and it hasn't had any effect.
what to do about this? I've tried these to no avail:
myField.htmlText = myString;
myField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
myField.wordWrap = true;
I am consuming XML which I have no control over. the XML has HTML in it which i am styling and displaying in a HTML text field. I want to remove all the html except the links.
Strip all HTML tags except links is not working for me.
does any one have any tips? regEx?
the following removes tables. var reTable:RegExp = /<tables+[^>]*>.*?</table>/s;
but now i realize i need to keep content that is the tables and I also need the links.
I 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:

the last of many problems, is that at the very end of the test, you're shown your score, and you have the option to type your name in a text box and click "save". Doing so will apply you score data (time elapsed, date, correct answers and percentage) along with the name you typed in, and output in a form, that you can save or print off, or whatever. The problem is, the input text box will not let you type in it. If you mouse over it, the mouse stays a pointer, you don't get the text tool. If you click on it, the cursor appears for a split second after you release the mouse button, but you cannot type anything in it.This is the actionscript for the output form:
Code:
//
function saveRecord(record:String, field:String, now:Object, score:Object):Void {

does anyone know in which places does a dynamic textfield wrap (or creates a new line that doesn't exist in the original string), and how to connect it to the proper position in it's htmlText?if it's characters like "", how would i find the place where this "" happened, in the original htmlText?
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to apply CSS to dynamically built input text fields? I basically have this, but it does not work.
[Code]...
I am only having problems with Input text, all other text works as it should. There might be some errors in here, but I had to piece this together, it should all be correct in my file. The CSS loads correctly because dynamic text is being formatted correctly, the Input is not.
What I have is one movie clip A is a text input box with a variable of txt. On frame two of movie clip A is another movie clip, movie clip B. Inside movie clip B is a dynamic text box. The reason I have the dynamic text box on a movie clip is because I need to attach it to an animation, so that slowly it will go up and off the screen. Now, the only thing I'm having trouble with is actually getting the dynamic text box to display what the txt input box has in it. I can't seem to find the problem. Could I have done something wrong with a path or something? What would the correct path be, if I have done something wrong? Am I missing a code somewhere?
View 7 RepliesI using Flash CS5 for the first time, and I'm hitting a snag. I have an input box on Scene 1 for age (variable called old). On scene 3, I have a dynamic test box (variable called display), where I want to display the age (old) + 10.
My Code looks like this:
PHP Code:
var Real_age = Number(old) + 10;
display = Real_age;
It's returning NaN.
A trace of the output of Real_age gives:
PHP Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT">
<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#009900" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">2</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
<p align="left"></p>

NaN

The code works OK in Flash 8, but I figure I must have some some setting that is spitting out the unwanted HTML.
i cant assign a new value to a dynamic field by code. i cant write into a input field on flash player.
you're ganna need the fla file. i made it simplify. not complicated. [URL]
On one I have an input field. with the var "charName" I then have a button that is _root.gotoandplay, as the button is in a movieclip, but rest on the main timeline. Now this part issue. But the next frame which a s a stop command on the frame, also has a Dynamic Textfield with the same variable, and what the person typed does appear on it, but it's stuck on the input textfield's options, such as size, font, colour and so on. I have tried stuff like...

I have one input box in which you enter a number. That number must be sum plus 5 and the result should appear in a dynamic text box when you press a button.To change the "number" text string you entered in the input box to a real number that Flash understand as a NUMBER I placed "parseInt" and "Number" before the name of my instance objects. This is the action of the button:
Actionscript Code:
enter_btn.onRelease = function(){number_output= parseInt(Number (number_input)[code]....
The problem is that the only result I get is NaN (Not a Number). I have realize (thru traces) that the input number is read as:
Actionscript Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Myriad Pro" SIZE="18" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">5</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
And that is why Flash tells me that the input number is a NaN in the dynamic text box (As I suppose).
I would like to input a numerical value into a dynamic text field using a button. The numerical values is one, the button is called a1_btn The dynamic input text field is called results_txt
This is the code I am using. Even though it shows no script errors, clicking on the button doesn't input the number on the dynamic text field
//Mouse event code
a1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
//this is the value of the number
var number1:Number = 1;

Right now I'm us Flash CS4 and creating a flash program in AS3. After a certain frame the dynamic text boxes that I have set up refuse to display text when required. I've gone over every line of code and every possible set up and I can't understand why it will not work. I've made sure all the dynamic text boxes have the instance names properly in place naming them all "talkBox". I've made sure all the code is written properly talkBox.text = "Insert Text Here!" There should be absolutely no reason in the world why the dynamic text boxes shouldn't be working.
View 1 Replieswhen I parse my input-textfield and setTextFormat, everything works fine, but when I write something between the newly formatted part of the the, suddenly the formatting spreads over the whole texfield.
Is there any way (besides .htmlText="") to get rid of text formatting-tags. (maybe something simpler than a html-parser or so?)
I have four input text boxes that I want a user to enter numbers. I have their instance names provided on the textbox itself, but nothing declared in the AS. I have one total box as a dynamic, with the name totalbox. If i wanted to have the total box display the sum of all numbers from the input boxes, how would one go about this. I've seem formulas around, just not sure how to get the numbers to actually show up in the dynamic total box.
View 6 RepliesFor an input field I need about 20 fonts to be embedded.
The size increases like hell, as expected. So I try to embed only the needed characters.
First thing I notice is I can only set that for the text field, I expected to be able to set the character range for every single font.
I set only Uppercase for all my dynamic/input fields but the size doesnt decrease and I can still see all characters.
So I suspect the way it works is strange and/or I just dont understand how it works.
I have a problem with input type text field. In my flash project there is a button to create no.s of dynamic input type text field according to the no.s of clicks.The text fields are created fine and user can type anything in any of the text field. but I cant access the text field when i use "onSetFocus" or "on Changed" method.Because I have to do something else with each of the creted text field.

I have an assignment where we have to have part of our ecard accept input such as a user name and in another frame output the value as dynamic text. This was really easy in AS2 which is what we mostly learned in class. However I am almost done and it is all AS3 so far.
How do I take the value typed in an input box Push a submit button which takes me to another frame Output the value of that input?
If it matters my flow is kind of weird. Preloader. frame 1 Then i jump to say frame 100 for a sequence Back to frame 3 for a navigation / interactive area.
My code so far is :
stop();
var textInput:TextField = new TextField();
textInput.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
textInput.border = true;

how would i convert this code to diplay input text boxes instead of just dynamic text fields.
ActionScript Code:
MovieClip.prototype.createTextFieldOld = MovieClip.prototype.createTextField;
MovieClip.prototype.createTextField = function(n,d,x,y,w,h){

this.btn.onRelease = function(){

View 2 RepliesSo I'm working with flash CS3 and AS2. I added a Loader component and a

And a button that
on(press) {
_root.imgloader.contentPath = _root.imagetext;
}
It all works well and stuff, but when I turned "imagetext" into an input text field, it gives me an error message
Error opening URL 'http://www.digitaldesktopwallpaper.com/wallpapers/unknown/waterfall_wallpaper_001_1024.jpg<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="DokChampa" SIZE="21" COLOR="#FFFFFF" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">a</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>'
how do I define that input text as a string text on the press of the button and replace the original content with the new one?
