I am working on a flash game based on an AS3 project using FlashDevelop. I need a textbox with scroll bar. I was able to create an editable TextField, but I can't find a way to add a vertical scroll bar.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create an unsealed textfield, so I can dynamically create properties on it. I have this class which is the dynamic text field:
Code:
package {
import flash.text.TextField;
public dynamic class DynamicTextField extends TextField {
public function DynamicTextField() {
[code]...
but I am trying to write a function that replaces an already made textfield with this one.Here is the function which does that:
Code:
function makeDynamic(field:TextField) {
var newText:DynamicTextField = new DynamicTextField();
var xml:XML = describeType(field);
[code]...
This works well, it replaces the textfield with a dynamic one, but if the textfield has a variable name such as:
Code:
var field:TextField = new TextField();
then the new dynamictextfield won't have the name 'field'.
Is it possible to create a input textfield that's always active? Normally you need to click it but id like it to be already 'clicked' when the movie loads.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to create a textfield with text inside it, and track or trigger the text as a movieclip wich allow you to do onRelease etc.
Or trigger only the created textfield as clip with behaviour of onRelease etc.
I have no problem dynamically loading text if I place a textField on the stage but I can't seem to get the following to work using the createTextField. I shortened my code to make it easier to read and still show what I am trying to do. Also I can I place the text within the BlueMenu or only on top of it? Is so how?
Code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.*;

I can't figure out how they create clickable buttons around the text that has associated changes. The button even shifts with the text so that it remains in the correct spot as I type in front of it.

i am using the createtextfield method to create textfields in my swf, but i can't see them i can copy paste the content of them, and the things related to them work properly, but they won't appear in my swf. i thought they were underneath some image, but when i switch off (_alpha=0) the image, there is nothing. i also have an attachmovie in the same movieclip i create textfileds in, but the clip attached is visible.here's the code i am using:

I've created a custom format for a TextField text as below:
Code:
var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var _font:Font = new VerdanaPlain();
_format.font = _font.fontName;
_format.size = 12;
and then I've applied it to a TextField like so:
Code:
var _text:TextField = new TextField();
_text.setTextFormat(_format);
_text.text = "Here is some text";
and for some strange reason, the format does not seem to have any effect on the text in the text field. It still shows using default settings. And yes I have exported the font for linkage.
I'm trying to create a dynamic textfield for a custom timer created by me. This is how:
var tid:int = 0;
tid = tid+1/30;
[Code]....
The problem is, I can't get the TextFormat to work. Would a timerclass solve the problem?If so, how do I create this? I've only learned to create timers the way I showed above.
I am trying to make a textfield to display the player's score. I call the textfield "score", and want it to display "Player Score: [score]".
Right now, my code looks like this: score.text = String "Player Score:" (scoreValue);
This isn't working, but I feel that it must be very close. What is the proper method for doing this?
I have a display box on the stage and I am having trouble getting the x and y coordinates to sync on the createTextfield box. The width and height are correct when I test it. The textfield does not show up in mcDisplayBack. How do I get them to line up?

var nWidth:Number = mcDisplayBack._width;
var nHeight:Number = mcDisplayBack._height;

View 1 Repliesi need help about how to create an object container that contain TextField,movie clip, etc
[Code]...
First let me warn you that I'm "old school" i.e. code is on my timeline and the only classes used were those automatically created when I added several new fonts to Script1.swf which is my movieclip for embedded fonts.
On the first frame of my main movieclip which is named Round.fla, I have loaded Script1.swf that contains the fonts using the loader object. I'm using a trace statement that shows that Script1_lb.swf is loaded.
I am using a listbox (script1_lb) with movieclip icons (jpg picture of the sample font) and the data is the name of the font class, like this: script1_lb.dataProvider.addItem( {icon:akaDora_mc, data:"akaDora"} );

I created a document class for an empty stage and would like to create an output class which is imported into the document class.Inside the output class I would like to create a textField with the methods to set and read the text.
a) empty stage with document class "tommy"
b) document class "tommy"
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import cOutput;[code]....
I am receiving "Definition fl.controls:TextInput could not be found".I read that you need to have this in the library (I dragged a text field as classic text, input text on stage).
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.

View 4 RepliesI just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
