I have an Array which holds phrases. Now I want to be able to set the var: on my dynamic textfield to the correct phrase in the array. It works when I use tmp_txt.text = phrases['yes'].sText, but I want to set it directly on the textfield. Is this possible?// explanation:// phrases['yes'].sText returns JA which is swedish for YES

I have a Flex Spark dropdownList in which I need to show the Provider FirstName,LastName:
<s:DropDownList id="providerList"
dataProvider="{model.practiceProviderList.practiceProviders}"
labelField="provider.providerName.firstName"/>
But the output shows only [object Object] & [object Object] as there are 2 providers in the DB and does not show the actual values.
The PracticeProviderList.as:
[Bindable]
[RemoteClass(alias="model.PracticeProviderList")]
public class PracticeProviderList extends PracticeProviderListBase {
[Code]....
The Provider has providerName:PersonName as one of it's fields & PersonName has firstName:String & lastName:String
I have changed my newDate to see where the problem lies but cannot get it to match my target time to 2/22/2012 7pm

I have an issue where using MXML, the height and width properties of myBox is correctly acquired but using ActionScript the correct height and width acquired is not correct.
my:Tab extends NavigatorContent (This is NOT the tab in a Tab Bar)
com:myBox extends BorderContainer.
<mx:ViewStack id="viewstack_main" width="100%" height="100%" creationPolicy="all">
<my:Tab label="My Tab">
<s:Scroller height="100%" width="100%">
[Code] .....
In the constructor of myBox I set the percentWidth and percentHeight to both 100. In the creationComplete event of the same myBox, I need to access the height and width. This works all ok with the MXML. However using ActionScript I need to add another tab.
var navContainer:Tab = new Tab();
viewstack_main.addElement(navContainer);
var scroller:Scroller = new Scroller();
scroller.percentHeight = 100;
scroller.percentWidth = 100;
[Code] .....
But unfortunately, in the creationComplete event of box, the height and width properties are NOT what is expected (the height & width after setting 100%). It is 112. Why this works with MXML but NOT ActionScript?
I can't seem to get hitTest work on a textField, is that correct? Does this only work on movieclips?
View 3 RepliesI have two dynamic textfield and they are both within two movieclips because I have action to rotate , enlarge and move the related movieclip so that the text changed accordingly.
But there is problem like after I record the position after modification to database and retrieve them back to the flashpage. The position of the movieclips are changed or maybe it is the textfield's position within the movieclips are changed which I have no exact idea what happened.
So could any one who can give some suggesion how should I arrange the textfield within the movieclip and how to keep track of the right position after enlargement or rotations,etc then?
Isn't it I have to consider the relative position of the textfield to the movieclip at the beginning.

View 1 Replieshow to make facility of scroll bar on my textField .
myTex.htmlText= myText;
myTex.worldWrap = true;
myTex.multiline= true;
myTex.scrollV = true;
I really don't understand why only in my swf file only the first letter is displayed.
ActionScript Code:
myItemTitle.text=itemTitle;
trace(myItemTitle.text); //output: "MyTitle"
In the swf file, output: "M"
The outline of my text field is very wide, so it is not possible that it is not enough wide for the text length.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to get the depths of all the blocks to be at the correct levels at the correct times so that the 3d effect is maintained. I've tried many things, but have had little success. All the instances of the blocks are stored in an array, but since it's adding them in accordance with when they're added to the stage, it doesn't help me locate them to swap depths. Is there a way to arrange them by location on the board?
View 4 Replies1. Create a new Dynamic Text field.
2. Set its htmlText like this:

url...Is there a more effective way to consistently show and hide a textfield? or is there a smarter class to use like MovieClip or Sprite?I've tried all 3.This configuration of the two functions shows the message box once, but fails to hide.

View 3 RepliesI have a textfield in a MovieClip that I'm trying to change out from an external class. It appears to return back as empty on the stage, but if I trace what's inside there it gives me the correct value, it just doesn't show up.
My code is this:
((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text = 'test';
So if I trace "((this.parent.parent.getChildByName('bottomBar') as MovieClip).getChildByName('area_txt') as TextField).text" it returns "test" but it doesn't display on the stage, it's just blank.
I have an if/else statement which checks the length of my current title, and then is suppose to change the defaultTextFormat of the title textField and set the text. Currently the title will not show up now, no matter what character length the title is, any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong here?
public function switchTitle(sentText):void {
titleString = sentText;
trace("---------"+" ");
trace("Forumula testing");
trace("titleString = "+titleString);

Would it be possible to make it so that e.g. a textField is visible outside of the swf boundary in some way? I have random dots in a banner that on MouseOver shows a text in a textfield by the mouse pointer, the textField however is too large due to the amount of text and gets cut off by the boundaries of the swf.
View 2 RepliesI've basically finished this project, but there are some feature I'd like to add which are giving me trouble. Heres the jist of the flaIt takes data from a txt file and uses split() to put that data into an array (a list of phrases). Then it randomly chooses one of these phrases and displayes it in a text field, then it repeats this every 5 seconds.What I am trying to add are these two things:1) do not repeat array value until all have been used once2) alpha fade in and out of each phrase, the AS of which is basic, but I am not sure where to put the code and set it up in this case.Im just confused on where to place and exactly how the write the code for these additional elements
View 5 RepliesI want to make a input textfield and when you write something in it and you click a button it will appear random on stage.
View 1 RepliesI have one textfield which is presented like _root.screen1.screen2.textfield1
screen2 is the movieclip within screen1. They are movieclips and textfield1 is the textfield
I tested like
_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text="Hi, can u see me?";
trace(_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text);
Then I can see the result of trace which have the text I wrote, but I cannot see anything on the screen.
why it is like this and how to modify then ?
I need to know the exact position of some words that are inside a phrase.
Basically I have a string and I'm getting parts of it with substr,but i need to know the especific position (x,y) of that little part that i got.
stage.focus = txt; // txt is a text input field
It successfully gives the TextField "txt" focus because when I type, the characters appear in the input textfield, however the familiar blinking text cursor/beam does not appear in the textfield. This makes you think it does not have focus, so you click the textfield to give it focus -- completely defeating the purpose.
I'm using Flash CS5 , Actionscript 3.0 and export fo Flash Plaer 10.
I create a class, myHtmlText.as, that builds a basic TextField. I create an empty file myHtmlText.fla I embedded two fonts inside the myHtmlText.fla: "Ghotam Light" and "Ghotam Book"; I selected all characters for each font and exported for actionscript with the following linkage name: "GhotamBook" and "GhotamLight"
I wish to use the fonts embedded, in the TextField using htmlText, like this:
var tf:TextField = createTextField(10, 10, 400, 22); tf.htmlText = '<p><font face="GhotamBook">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</font></p>';
//tf.embedFonts = true;
[Code]....
but it does not work; the text is not displayed; If I use .text instead fo .htmlText, the latin text is displayed with a system font.
My dynamic textfield doesen't show special characters (%&+...). I have emped the font(uppercase, lowercase, numerals, PUNCTUATION and basic latin) and I've also tried to render it as html.for example:flash.addVariable("newtext"," Word & word2");AC2myTextfield.text = _root.newtext;then it prints just "word", because flash doesen't understand character & as a text format;locally it worked finemyTextfield.text = "Word & word2;";
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a project that has a main swf file associated with the document class. It loads XML that provides the text content for the project, then it loads a swf that contains a font in its library, then it loads the first of several content module swfs. When the font swf has inited, I'm registering its library font with Font.registerFont(), and using it in a TextFormat object. After everything is done, I can add code to the document class to create a text field on the stage of the main swf and format it successfully with the TextFormat object, but when I try to do the same thing inside the loaded content module swf, the text doesn't show up there at all.
