ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding A New Line To Textbox
Jul 15, 2009
I am doing a simple text effect that I found on the internet and modified so that it has a flashing cursor. The text effect uses a symbol that is a dynamic multi lined text box and was given the following code:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this._visible = 0;
txt = chr(starting);
steps = final-starting;
[Code].....
The problem I am having is trying to make the string "Do you need specific solutions?" run on two lines when the text is generated in the text box. I have already tried the obvious "Do you need specific solutions?"; and "Do you need specific solutions?";

how you start a new line in an output text. The reason I'm asking is since I'm making a quiz game and some of the questions / answers are to long for the text box and instead of making a new line by them selves they just continue outside the box.
The code in question looks like this _root.Question = "What colour is the sky in the day?"; and I would for example want to start a new line after "is".

I'm making a simple RPG platformer where a character will pass over an object. When the action key is pressed and the character is over top the object, I would like a block of text to appear on the stage with a close button to cancel out.
I would like to know how a person would go about making a "pop-up" text box.

Here is the situation: I have an XML document which I rip through using a for Loop, and I place the data into an array. From there I tell the data where to go. I have an attribute in my XML called 'link' which contains a URL, now I want to spit that out into a separate textbox and have it also link to the given URL. I have the URL stored in the array just fine, and I can even spit the URL into the textfield, my only question is how to make it link instead of just being normal text?
I hope I explained this well, but the basic gist of it is I have everything working except for adding the hyperlink.

i want the user to click on the relevent button, and this will add an accented-character (such as "�" to the textbox they are typing in.here is my code so far:
[AS]on(release){
textbox_cont = _root.inputtext.inputtext.text;
accent = "u00E0";
output = "";
[code]....
1: when the user clicks this button, the accent is added to the input textbox, but they have to click on the textbox again before they can start typing.How can i set it so they can continue typing straight away?
2: - more importantly my rather basic code only adds a character to the end of the textbox-contents. At present, if a user wants to edit text they have typed, they cannot insert accents.How can i set it to add the character where the user has placed the (flashing) cursor?

I am setting a string variable to the value of a input box in my movie but Flash also seems to be adding a (Carrage Return) to the end of it's value. This is not something i am typing. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong, i can't seem to find where it is coming from. If this is normal, what is the best way to prevent this from happening as it is causing me problems when i use this variable later.

I am generating the following text box and the data in it dynamically:
_root.createTextField("recipe"+i+"_txt", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), 5, 100, 600, 400);
The problem I am having is the text that is generated only stays on one line and therefore doesn't fit into the text field. I know there is a way to add the multiline property to other types of components but can this be done dynamically?

I can't get the letterspacing property to function in a dynamic text box, I have tested it with color and it works just fine. just letterspacing. And I have embedded the font, so I know it isn't that. The code affecting the text box is this.
Code:
var txt_box0:TextField
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = 4
//trace(format1.letterSpacing)
txt_box0.setTextFormat(format1)
Those working with AS2 have had similar problems but managed to fix it by typing "setNewTextFormat", which has been phased out in AS3.

I wanted it to appear in one lineie. home > tutorials > easin menu...the script i used to add are as follows:
Code:

I have an air app that collects live data from a user's action and graphs it.It records data every second and charts it on three different line series from the same array collection.This works out great at first, but it gets worse and worse as time goes by. When it gets close to an hour it's almost unusable.I'd like to be able to add a point to the graph and have flex JUST draw the new point and not invalidate the whole series and redraw it. Is this possible? I'm willing to override something to make this work.My last ditch effort is to take the average of 5 or 10 points and only adding those. This will still work poorly when the user is going for 3 hours or so, but I can't think of a better way.

I have an issue with a specific string variable. It is automatically adding a line break after the text in the string characterName. On this frame I have a input text box with an instance name of name_Input and a submit button that executes the following code.
var characterName:String;
characterName = name_Input.text;
//The next line was a solution I tried for this problem but it doesn't work

My copy of Flash CS3 seems to have a problem with its Autoformatting. Whenever I press the button, it adds a semi-colon to the end of every single line (apart from the beginning of functions). There's no problem with the Edit > Preferences > Auto format menu.

For some reason, when I import my external html to my page, I'm getting extra line breaks. Even if I don't use a <br> in the line, but do a hard return, I'm getting a line break. So that's weird too. As well, it doesn't do the bold (which may be an embedding issue, as I'm using a nonstandard font. I've got the normal font embedded. of coruse, the italics works, which is weird.). What am I doing wrong?I don't think it does anything, but I've set the textbox to "render as HTML," if that effects anything.
My AS code:
ActionScript Code:
dynamic_txt.visible = false;

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.
