View 2 RepliesWe have a flashcard application that loads the cards from an array (mysql database -> php -> flash), everything works fine when using a classic tween but when we try to apply a 3D tween to the cards we lose the dynamic text (font is embedded).
So before i spend weeks trying to find a solution i figured i would ask?
Can a 3D Tween be applied to dynamic text in CS4?
I'm creating a simply animation with background images fading in and out. I've done that part.Now i want to add some animated text (simple scroll to middle of movie), i have it fading in ok, but i want to make it look a little bit more realistic.By this i mean, i'd like it to move towards the centre of the movie, but slow down before it stops at the centre.At the moment it simply moves accross the screen at one speed and then stops abruptly. Doesn't look good.

View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic text field in a MC that should loop, but for some reason it plays once then vanishes. The text from the XML file does show up, and the text field is still there but blank. I have checked the basic stuff like anti alias for animation, embed, no stop(); or anything that simple.

View 1 RepliesSay I have a class that extends TextField and I want to have it set a default text color to black (0x000000) when initiated. Easy enough. But then say, when the XML finishes loading and the user has decided to change the color of that textfield to red (0xFF0000), what would be the easiest way to change the text color of that field? The only way I can think to do it is to change the textformat color via public method? Would this be correct or is there an easier way?

I am trying to create a tool tip for my app, that will be a simple text that contain information about the button I am over. I would like the text to start with animation, and after animation follow the mouse. Please enter this site, you can see here an example : [URL]. See that when you enter a country, it starts with a animation from the right, and then follows the user's mouse position until he exits the country. I am quite new to AS, I will be very glad if someone can explain what is the best approach for this. I am able to make the animation with the tween class, but was not able to make it follow the mouse after the animation ends. On the other hand I was also able making it follow my mouse but was not able to make it start with animation.
View 6 RepliesI have a simple litte banner I did with flash (version 9.0). Just a few images and some text that I fade in and out with a motion tween. When i publish this to an animated gif, the text turns into blobs on the screen.

View 10 RepliesI'm not quite sure why the external CSS is not being applied to the text field. Does my cssLoaded function need to be triggered elsewhereFirst, the CSS:

i've been trying to get to grips with OOP and have so far managed to comprehend the basics of classes, methods, properties, the constructor function and property inheritance, helped by a number of examples and tutorials from the web and Moock's Actioncript - The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly). however, i've reached a sticking point when i try to apply these principles to actual movieClips. i want to attach movies from the library and control their properties using OOP, but i cannot work out how to apply the custom properties i've created to them. for example, i have a constructor Ball, with a property move, and i want to create movie clips ball1, ball2, ball3... which have properties such as radius and speed.

This TextField is inside a RichTextEditor.
Here's the code I'm trying:
_rSts: StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
_rSts.parseCSS('font {font-family:Verdana; font-size:12;}');
_rTextField.styleSheet = _rSts;

View 21 RepliesI have narrowed my issue to this. If you create a sprite add a square and a startDrag on press to that sprite. then add that sprite as a child to a container sprite. Create a button on the same level as the container sprite and add a mouse click listener that causes container sprite to rotate using rotationY or X. Now run it, first you will notice you can drag the square no prob. Once you hit the button and rotate your container using rotationY or X the drag does not work. Other properties such as x, y , alpha can still be set but startDrag or stopDrag. I think this is a bug as I have found several people reporting on this but not solution.
