I'm using the TextInput component, but it doesn't seem toallow for a word wrap - when you type your letters just keep goingoff to the right and what you typed on the left isn't visible. Ifigure there's gotta be a way, but I looked around in thefiles and couldn't find it? Does anyone know how to do this?
View 1 RepliesThe standard Flex button does not allow the Label Text to word wrap. I read in the internet that there are some undocumented ways to handle this but I did not get them to work.
View 2 Repliesis there a way when exporting text from a dynamic text field to know where new lines are made from word wrapping in the textbox?
View 1 RepliesHow can I set up the LabelItemRenderer or use any other item renderer that wouldn't truncate the overflowing text but would word wrap it? [URL]
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to show a long text in a dynamic text field with multiline attribute = on, without word wrapping? E.g., A dynamic text field contains 2 lines, and multiline is set to on. If I try to display a text in the text field, it is wrapping at the word, thereby losing some space in the text field (see code below):
my_fmt.size = 50;
this.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 100, 100, 280, 150);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.text = "One Hundredyears of solitude";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
The display is showing only "One Hundredyear" in two lines, and the rest of characters are below the visible text area. The issue here is in the first line there is only "One" displayed, leaving a lot of space. If I can accommodate more characters in the first line, without word wrapping, the second line can accommodate the rest of the characters.
I know this question has been asked before but the other solutions didn't work for me quite well. here's my sample application.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

If I drag a textInput from a component and drop it near the end of the another component, the textInput goes outside of the dropZone.

How can I create a truly transparent background for these components?
I have a project where a big part of the UI a notebook, where the user enters text in a number of fields, for which it uses a series of TextInput components.Once the notebook is filled in the user switches to a screen where the inputs are disabled and they compare what they wrote to a 'model answer'.The problem is that the last TextInput to have focus at the time of disabling retains it - it appears disabled (greyed out etc) but if you type the letters appear in the field.I have tried variations on Selection.setFocus(null), and it seems that Selection.getFocus() returns null/undefined, but can still type into it. I can't select any of the other textfields, and clicking on other interactive elements - bottons etc doesn't seem to want to remove focus either.
UPDATE - Just to make sure there wasn't something crazy happening particular to this project, if I make a nude flash movie with a textInput and a button, then make the button set theTextInput.enabled = false, I can still type into the field. I can't see any way that's a feature.

View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a Flash component to display a pdf/word/png in a web page. Something like Flashpaper : [URL] but Free.
View 2 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is rather simple, but I am having problems. All I want to do is pass the values entered into a TextInput component into a Dynamic Text Field I need this to be realtime, so when the user is entering the values it is updating in the text fields. I have 5 TextInput instances and 5 Dynamic Text Fields on the stage The TextInput values need to be passed to the Dynamic Text Boxes.
View 3 RepliesI have a custom TextInput that listens for the FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN and FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT events:
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusInHandler);
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, onFocusOutHandler);
My onFocusInHandler function basically removes a "promptview" that tells the user to type in a value, with the onFocusOutHandler doing the opposite.
For example, if the TextInput text was backspaced to a blank value and the user clicks out of the TextInput box, it would show a "Please enter a value" light-gray prompt in the TextInput.
This works fine until the user clicks our custom "Clear" button. The clear button sets the text to "", and I can tell the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT is received because the prompt text is set to visible (its not being set anywhere else). The problem is, the cursor remains in the box as if it still has focus, so if the user immediately starts typing, both the prompt text "Please enter a value" and the user-entered text appears over the gray text, which looks pretty ugly and unreadable.
Why does the TextInput receive the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT event if it's not actually losing focus?
I've got a custom component (quite complex so I can't post any code here, although that shouldn't matter), that I can add to a view. When the component is deleted from the view or the view is switched I call my own dispose method which removes remaining eventListeners and kills some references so that the component can eventually be nulled and collected by the GC.
All that works perfectly fine until I add a Spark TextInput to the MXML part of the component (it took me hours to find out what is preventing the component to be collected!), so I recon that the TextInput somehow automatically adds some eventListeners.
My question is what are these listeners, or is there anything else I haven't thought of?

Is it possible (if so how) to find out what word the cursor/mouse is over when it is moving over a < mx:Text > component?So for example as the user moves the mouse along a sentence (inside text component), each word will highlight as they go (I know you can highlight while pressing the mouse button down - but that not how I wish to do it).
View 2 RepliesThe update to the Dynamic Text Box is always one character behind what is entered into the TextInput component. For instance my name is Shawn, if I enter "Shawn" into the Text Input the Dynamic Text Boxes will display "Shaw". It will only enter the "n" if I type another character then backspace it, deleting the extra character.
View 7 RepliesI have an application which displays employee information. If the user opening the detailed employee information page is not authorized to make changes I set the TextInput to disabled. Some users are reporting rendering issues with this. The TextInput's text value does not appear inside the box but is misaligned and is outside of the component. You can see the screenshow below of the disabled ID column where the numbers which are supposed to be in the TextInput box are far off to the right.

This is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.
