ActionScript 2.0 :: CS3 Text Formatting?
Jan 4, 2010
I am working on a project where I have made a Text Formatter by which I can format the text of three input text field.My formatter works fine, but the problem is that when I format the first text field it works good, but in the second or third textfield I have to press the formatting button twice for each format option (such as bold , italic or alignment).Another problem is that when I reopen the formatter it format the text field with last option I have used.

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

make one word in a dynamic text field bold WITHOUT using the htmlText property? Everything I have read seems to indicate that you can only make the whole field bold.

I'm trying to pull a variable from an ASP page that's pulling it's info from a database. The ASP page has a response.write that outputs &ScrollText = text that comes from the database. The ASP page works fine, but when I try to pull in the variable in Flash, it takes in all the html URL escapes, i.e.: %20 for a space %22 for a ", etc. I've tried using Server.URLEncode in my ASP page, but that didn't help any. I'm displaying this text in a dynamic text box with a scroll bar.

I'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;

I have a file where I am importing info from an XML file using atttributes. It works fine, except I no longer want the font to be embedded. I want to either call if in from a stylesheet or set it in the actionscript, so it uses same arial or san serif used on the rest of the web site it is a part of.
my code.......
var myImages:Array = new Array();
var myXml:XML = new XML();

I need now is, to load it and format certain parts of it automatically.For example, I have a blog with lots of posts, and the posts are:
---------begin-------
TITLE
DATE
Content
----------end--------
And so, I need the title and the date to be one font, with different colors between them, and the content is another font, on a third color.I have to do this because I've been putting the posts directly inside flash, and they got so long after a while, that I can't have all of them on my screen at any one time, they exceeded flash's height limit...so, to edit the older ones, I need to keep scrolling everything up, which is a pain.

I'm running into issues with using HTML formatting for a dymanic text field. I know these are quirky and I cannot figure out how to get the formatting proper.I have on my stage a dynamic text box called "content_txt" inside of a movie clip instance "content_mc". When it enters the frame, I fade the "content_mc" from alpha 0 to 100 using a timeline animation. In order for this to work, I have to embed the font in my "content_txt" text field. However, the only way I get get the HTML formatting to work is if I do not embed the font.
The dymanic text field is set to render as HTML. In my actions layer, I set the text:
this.content_mc.content_txt.htmlText = "<b>Hello world,</b> it is me again."
In summary: 1. If I do not embed the font, the alpha fade does not work but the HTML formatting does.
2. If I embed the font, the alpha fade works but the HTML formatting does not.
How do I resolve this? It's driving me nuts!

basically I have an admin flex page that allows the user to enter text into database. Then the frontend app will take the database entries and display them to the user. However there is no formatting. Do I need to insert html into the database then read that html again?For the user using the admin, they probably wont know html, so is there a simpler way to format?

I have two text boxes on the same window. They are both set to Arial 14 Regular but they both appear very differently. To see what I am referring to: [URL] and go to the Conversion Tools at the bottom of the page. Click on Surface Finish and type in a value in the two different fields and click calculate. I really don't see anything that could be causing this difference in appearance.

If I create an html textfield and give the text the bold tags, when I run a getTextFormat() the bold returns null. Here is the scenario I made up to replicate this.
1. I created a textfield where I set the html text to
Code:
<b>Some bold text</b>
2. I take the html formated text from the first textfield which is
Code:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"><B>Some bold text</B></FONT></P>
3. I apply the html text to another textfield and check for bold.
4. The bold is null instead of true

I am struggling with TLF text, I searched and searched and can't find a GOOD tutorial or complete method on how to format TLF text with AS3, I need to:
- Load dynamic text into dynamic TLF text field
- Set custom fonts
- Set formatting including letter spacing, margins, leading, sharpness
- Set links, link hoover color, link decoration
- Get a method that supports HTML tags (those supported by Flash CS5)
tutorial, book, e-book that explains all the steps needed to set, format and control TLF text?
I need something that explains how to do this, logically, step by step, I'm a designer not a programmer

I'm importing text via an XML file that will then be displayed in a dynamic text field. The text is about 1 sentence long but one of the words in the sentence must be bold and a different color. So I've added some HTML tags in the XML node to change the color and format but when I test the file the html tags show in the dynamic text field and the text is NOT formatted.[code]Am I not using the CDATA tag properly? Or do I need to change something in the way I call up the data in the xml node?
