In flash actionscript3.0 Now we have one problem with speech and thought bubbles.
we want to transform the movieclip inside the textfield. if transform, textfield text shouldn't resize.
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?

View 2 RepliesI have an odd problem in CS4/AS3 with one of my flash files where text is incorrectly rendered if the movieclip containing the text has a 3d matrix transform and quality is set to medium or low. It is easy to reproduce:

I am just getting back into using Flash after not using it for about 5 years. I'm having an issue with the simplest thing! I want to be able to type pixel values into the Properties panel to transform/resize an object from the OBJECT CENTER as reference point. If I use the transform tool, it uses the center of the object as the reference. However, if I do as above and type values into the Properties width/height, the object transforms with the top left corner as reference. If I need two or more objects sized exactly the same, or if I want to do a "zoom in" effect, using the transform tool is very ineffecient!
My object seems to be showing that the center is set as the reference point (white circle in center of object). Also, the objects I am working with are jpg's and psd's imported to the library, and made into movie clip symbols.
If I add the button component to my movieclip it makes it bigger, as if there's some sort of invisible padding or margin around it. Making a new fla, dragging the button component, and setting the below code as the document class produces a trace of w: 320, h:250 when run.Removing the mc.addChild(btn) line gives me a trace of w: 320 h: 240.The button isn't even close to the edge of the movieclip, so why is it expanding the movieclip's height by 10 pixels? I've been reading the documentation for the last few hours, but I can't find some hidden margin style or anything of the like I've been missing. The FLA & .as file are available here http[url].....

Using AS3 in flash CS4Hi i have some imported text from a tab delimited/seperated text file (.txt).I have split the values into an array using .split('') .split(' ')I have stored the imported data into an array where each column has a new index and the properties of each row can be gained from array[n].property. For example array[4].name would give the 'name' of the 4th entity in the original text file.This all works fine however some of the separated strings are formatted incorrectly as they take up 2 lines instead of one.The first string in each line in the original text file is imported into flash with a new line above it. I.e: "Property1" in the original tab delimited/seperated text file is stored in flash as "Property1" with a new line above it. I need to get rid of this new line in order to appropriately display the text in text fields.
View 5 RepliesI very often use animated text (rather for menu titles than paragraphs) in my flash works and the render of fonts is usually quite irregular. What I now do is convert the alphabet + figures of the font I am using to vectors (Ctrl + B) on the scene and then make movieclips with each letter, which I store in the library ready for AS to call them. The rendering quality is comparably better. The truth is I've never had to make more than, say 50 clips "by hand", but it would still make my life easier and save me dull time/work if there was a way with AS to transform a text field to vectors...
View 5 RepliesI have a AS2 script to get information from a MySQL database. This information is a text from 0 to 300 chars. I want to display that text in this layout: I want to resize the black box you see on the picture in function of the amount of text imported.
The instance name of the box is: cargador.fondo (only want to resize height)
The instance name of the text is: cargador.texto
I'm having trouble with loading in an external image that I can transform with the Senocular Transform Tool class. I have managed to load in the picture but the transform class doesn't seem want to grab it. Eventually I want to us the FileRef to upload the image but I just need to figure out how it works first. Here my code to load in the external image

The transform class can grab the other movieclips but it doesn't want to grab the new image loaded in from the code above.
im building this interface in FLASH CS5, where i want to place a digital clock, i created a MovieClip InstanceName "RELOJ" in that MovieClip i have two layers, one with two Text Fields that are going to display Time and the other the Date, and on the other layer is the actionscript (AS3) of the whole clock and date.ok, now i place that movieclip on my Main TimeLine, i play the swf but i dont see the clock working.I have tried placing an Actions layer on my main timeline and writing "RELOJ.play()" but nothing... How do i play that MovieClip?UPDATE: This is the code inside the MovieClip. The Fonts are Embedded.
dateDisplay.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showTime);
diaDisplay.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,showDia);
function showTime(event:Event):void {

Is there a way to add text programmatically in as3 to a Sprite or a MovieClip without using the class TextField
TextField inherits from InteractiveObject which is kind of heavy for what I want to do: just display text (i.e. I don't want to interact with the text).
Note: I'm aware that there is a property selectable to make the textfield not selectable. This is not the point.
I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:
//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;
[code].....
i have a movieclip containing a dynamic text-field in it. When movieclip is stretched using transform manager, the text stretches. i am developing a component. Moreover,Event.Resize can not be used as Event.Resize is the Stage event. it does not work for movie-clips and sprite.Putting it in Event. Enter Frame works but that hangs the whole CMS when this technique is used.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there any way to change movieclip shape, when it on stage by as2.
View 1 Repliesive been trying to get a mouseover working but im having some trouble.
I need it so when i mouseover a movieclip text appears in a textfield at the bottom of the stage.
also when i click the mc the text stays there as im dragging it into the correct location.
In my library I have a movieclip that is linked to my AS3 custom class TweenButton. On the movieclip there is a textfield. I would like to be able to set the .text property of the textfield through TweenButton's constructor, which must be so simple, but I haven't been able to make it work. Here's the code and source files:

I have a movie clip with 4 frames. I programatically create 3instances of it, and send each one to a different frame. If I laterapply a color transform to one of the clips, it plays through allthe frames and goes back to it's correct frame. Why does it dothat, and can I stop it from doing that?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to transform the color of a movieclip, the movie clip is duplicate in more and those move from the center of the screen to the sides. I want some colors specifics those i drop inside a var but i don't know how to make the random take those colors. I'm used this code

I created a movie clip and I want it to changecolor by as3 . There is no problem with that but when I try to import my image in the movieclip, the color goes over it so I can't see it.
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip where I create a child display object (another MovieClip) in the constructor and show it with addChild();. However, later on in the code I modify the tint of the parent MovieClip using colorTransform. The child object then vanishes. Even if I do a removeChild/addChild after the tinting, it does not show. I don't understand why this is happening.. tint should just modify the color of everything, not hide children, right? See attached code for the way I am showing the child and changing the tint.
View 4 RepliesAm I right, that Flex doesn't support HTML like text transform?
s|Panel #titleDisplay {

I'm trying to have a movieclip i have as a background for a textfield resize based on the size of the textfield.
I tried this with no luck:
ActionScript Code:
//tBox is the clip I'm using as a background and desc_txt is the textfield that changes when it gets PHP data.
tBack.tbox.width= tBack.desc_txt.width;
tBack.tbox.height= tBack.desc_txt.height;
this is my first post on this forum. I'm new to Flash and Actionscript. Please forgive me if this question is too dumb. I don't know how to use the ComponentEvent.RESIZE event. I want to use it to resize my textfield's background, whenever the textfield is resized (the textfield is resized automatically when the user changes the input text). I don't know if I'm asking the right question, I will try to explain it through the code:

Text on the box disappears on mouseOver. And also mouseOver doesnt work well after all. how can i correct those
Using the flash authoring tool, I want to resize a dynamic textfield to a particular height.However, it will not allow me to size the textfield smaller than a height that will fit all of the (multiline) text. How can I override this and make the height smaller so I can use scrollbars?
View 5 RepliesHow do you get a textfield to resize in the vertical direction? Basically I have text being dynamically loaded from PHP into a series of dynamically created text boxes. Each new text box is placed below the previous one to create a list.The problem is that in some text boxes there will be more text content than others. So rather than fix the textboxes height and end up with irregular gaps between each one. I need them to stretch and shrink individually.
View 1 RepliesMy Text is visible before rotating it to verticle position using Free Transform Tool. But when once it is rotated to verticle position the text disappears from the Stage. And it is not an animated Text as well?
