ActionScript 2.0 :: Convert HtmlText Info To TextFormat Object?
May 26, 2010
conversion of htmlText ( which contains all the formatting info ) to an equivalent TextFormat object.. so that I can transfer the htmlText info ( with formatting ) to a TextFormat object and then apply them to any textfield..
You may wonder why this approach when it can be done directly using the htmlText? Cos I am trying to manipulate the text field by resizing it ( with a user-controlled handle )..It works fine when I use normal text, but when I use the html=true, the resize seems to go haywire... ( if any one has tried this earlier.. I would like to hear about getting around this )
I need to apply the formatting at the same time make it resizable ( by user ) as expected.. which could be done if the html formatting info can be applied as a TextFormat object to the text field.. rather than set the htmlText="someFormattedText".
In short, I am looking for a parser that would read the htmlText info and convert it to TextFormat object(s).

So this only happens with text fields that are set directly on the stage at author time. Not text fields that are dynamically created through code. While yes, creating them through code is an awesome solution sometimes that's not really an option for me.
Code:
import flash.text.*;
// txt is a text field created on the stage with it's font set to "Verdana"

According to the ActionScript 3.0 documentation, the TextFormat classes size property is an Object. Why is this? Clearly this is a number! When I check its type (using typeOf()), it returns Number. So whats the deal?

I'm struggling a bit to fully understand garbage collection. To be honest I don't understand why this just can't be taken care of automatically but hey - I'm not a programmer so what do I know... Now to my question - I have the following code:
Code:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.letterSpacing = -3.5;
huvud_txt.setTextFormat(format);
Is it enough to set format = null; to destroy the format object or is there some crossreference going on here so that I need to do something more? huvud_txt is a textfield on stage - it's not created with code...

I have created a textFormat object and applied to Dynamic text field, but I do not see the effect. Am I missing something? I have a section of the code belo. fields[h] is actually a dynamic text field in the case below. As you can see I have assigned the arial as a font and red color as its color. But when I run the movie, it has no effect at all. But if I trace the textFormat as below i can see arial and 0xff0000 (in decimal) in console.

I'm having a problem with a my TextFormat object in the Letter class I've created. Whenever I call a class function that alters the TextFormat object (formatText,sizeText,colorText), the next time that one of these functions is called on a different instance the common formatting is applied. I've read that you need to redefine objects or arrays within the class constructor in order to make them unique to instances. I think I've done here with this code but it is not working:
Code:
//Letter Constructor
function Letter() {

Because I want to avoid repetive code, and I'm using a lot of text formats, I created a CustomTextFormat class in Flex Builder.

I'm wondering if there's any reasonable way to get a reference to an object in Flex, and look through everything in every sub object (every property and everything). That is, I want to know if I can completely map all of the data within an object, from another object. I'm aware that this wouldn't work for private (or protected) members, but for anything public, it should be possible, correct?

I've dynamically created a whole bunch of movieclips.
I've given each clip a name based on a variable number:
mc.name = "mc"+i;
I've also use addChild to add a couple of dynamic text fields to each movieClip, named myText1 and myText2.[code]...

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.

I have a load of objects with arrays in them.
var tabData0: Object = new Object();
tabData0.tab1 = new Object();
tabData0.tab1.names = new Array();
[Code]....
I want to combine this output with a few more to refer to my object / array. The remoteHolder contains the value I need to know which object (tabData0, tabData1, etc) to retrieve the info from.
tabHolder['btn' + i].titleHolder.titleField.htmlText = all['tab' + tab].names[(i-1)];
But get this:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property tab1 not found on String and there is no default value.

I have a working s3 uploader in actionscript that uses the FileReference class so a user can browse for files to upload when he/she clicks on the upload button. I have a web application and I want the user to have his/her configuration saved to s3 as an XML file when they hit the save button, so the "save" button will trigger the upload. However, I cant figure out a way to add the XML file to the FileReference variable I create. I was looking at the File class but that appears to be only usable in AIR. Is it possible to create a FileReference object based off of an XML file that actionscript creates within the application without browsing for a file using FileReference.browse(); ?

If I set the rotation for any object on the stage, flash renders it as a 3d object, even if I set the rotation to 0 like this..[code]3d objects render differently and look fuzzier when you look at it dead on than when it is rendering as a 2d object. How do I convert the 3d object back to 2d so that I get the better quality 2d rendering back?

I am using the following code to create an array of grid coordinates. After pulling my hair out for quite some time, I did a trace (typeof) and found out that the coordinates are going into the array as objects. Obviously, I need numbers. Does anyone know how to convert the array values to numbers instead of objects? (as you can see, I wrapped my push command with the Number() operator, but it still turns out to be objects!)

Is there a way to convert the XML object into a simple object? I'm parsing a string into XML and I realize that in itself is an object, but I want an object that doesn't include the functions/properties related to XML itself (appendChild, attribute, etc).
The problem is that I want to pass the XML data (in object form) to Javascript via the ExternalInterface, but I can't seem to pass anything more complicated than a simple object.
