ActionScript 3.0 :: Converting Style Code From Classic Text To TLF Text?
Jan 10, 2011I've got a project that currently uses classic dynamic text fields that pull in information from an XML file. The text contains a 'keyword' that's referenced in the XML, that can be situated anywhere in the complete sentence. This keyword needs to be a different colour and font size... but as I said, it can appear anywhere.
Currently this works by getting the keyword from the XML, finding its length, finding the index of where it starts, splicing the main string, and then setting TextFormat to the number of chars in keyword, which changes the font size and colour for just that keyword in the sentence.
This works great for the classic dynamic text boxes. It doesn't however work with TLF text, it just applies the new format to the entire text field. I don't have any experience with TLF text as I've just upgraded to CS5 and now need to make this work in Hebrew.The code snippet for the keyword colour change looks like this:Where screen01Norm & screen01Key are things pulled from XML & screen_01.txt_box_combined is the text field.
var newFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
newFormat.color = 0x319aca;
newFormat.size = 50;

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Converting Certain Lines Of Text To Be Hyperlink
May 18, 2010I have a project where I'm working in Flash CS4 on a presentation that runs in ActionScript 1.0. I need certain lines of text to be hyperlinks. I have two instances in which there is an e-mail link and a URL link which are part of a larger block of text, and one instance with just the URL alone. So far I used the method where I used the Properties window to make the box static text and the text fields I require have been made into links, as well as making other instance dynamic text. Thing is the HTML version of the file works all right, but the swf version doesn't hyperlink properly. If I click on the link, it accesses my browser but does nothing else. Let me know if there's anything else I need to elaborate on from my end.

Nov 12, 2011I'm looking for an AS3 version that dynamically populates this shape and allows for difference in font size to give it some more variety and flavour. I've got some examples of tag clouds but they don't accept a shape as its outer bounds and I've found some that allow for a shape but don't account for dynamic resizing of the text. Even a nudge in the right direction would be all I need and I can go from there.

Professional :: How To Distort Text Into U Shape
Nov 26, 2010All I want to do is have a word start as a normal word, and then distort into a U shape, like the word is smiling. I've been googling and tutorialing and all I have come up with is breaking the word up and then using the distort tool, but it distorts every corner of every letter, isn't there a way to distort the whole word just a little? Also, when I "create shape tween" the text dissapears and when I "create motion tween" it needs to turn into a graphic so then I cant even use the distortion tool. What do I do?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: How To Shape Tween TEXT
Mar 25, 2009For those of you who know how to shape tween TEXT, you can do it by breaking it apart(under the MODIFY tab) in the GUI part of Flash. In AS3 however, you can't do that.
End Result wish - To simply have the text font increase in size starting from say, font size of 10 to 300 as if it is coming out of the screen. Imagine a dot, and then imagine the dot shape tweening out to become a large dot until it fills up your screen, now imagine your text box being able to do the same thing.
Here is my dilemma:
