I was just wondering, is there a way to split up dynamicly loaded text (pulled from a database via php) into columns? A friend of mine made a design for a flash site with the text in columns. I'm going to load the text from a database via php, but I was wondering if there's a function I could use to split up the text into columns?
View 2 RepliesAny Way to load text externally into text fields in flash but arranged in linked columns (like in Quark). I'd like to be able to just add text to the external file and the text to be rearranged automatically in the columns. For example, if you add a name in the middle, all the following text has to be moved down.

I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to dynamically display 3 columns of text in my swf. They are somewhat long lists of song/album/label titles and all 3 columns need to scroll as one unit. My client gave me Excel files with the lists in spreadsheet form. I've tried exporting as XML and HTML. I've gotten the lists to disply in my SWF using dynamic text boxes but now I can't figure out how to get all 3 text boxes to scroll as one.
Is there a way to create a simple table in Flash and have each list load into Column1, Column2, and Column3 and then attach a srollbar to the table?
I want to save remotely (on a database) the state (visible columns, columns width and order) of a Flex3 DataGrid.For width and visibility I can simply save them by accessing each column attribute.. But for the order? Do I have to create the dataGrid dynamically?
View 2 RepliesI'm implementing an image gallery which presents assets as equally sized boxes that are forming a grid. I thought that I could easily achieve that by using the spark.layouts.TileLayout but unfortunately I have some additional requirements that I'm unable to implement with it.The general principal should to be to present as many boxes as possible within given space. The entire layout of the application is liquid and depends on the user's screen resolution.[code]I don't know the RequestedColumnCount or RequestedRowCount in advance as they depend on the available space, so the above code layouts all elements from left-to-right and then from top-to-bottom - which is as close as you can get from what I really want to achieve.This list of boxes should be cable of rendering fake paging. In reality it means that if the last visible row does not entirely fit the available space it should be moved to the next page.
To give you an example let's imagine that we have a list of 10 images. Each one is 10x10 px but my screen resolution only allows me to fit a grid 35x35 px. This means that one page is only capable of presenting 9 images in form of a 3x3 grid (as 5 px is not enough to present a full image). The 10th image should be then transferred to the second page.This is obviously not happening automatically with the code that I've pasted above as the TileLayout allows for displaying partially visible rows (in a form of a vertically scrolled list). I was wondering how I could achieve the behavior described above.If the above description does not sound logical please let me know so that I can adapt it (or include more details).
I have a datagrid which displays details for a product. For a particular product i need to display its Id current status(Available/ Not) and which category it belongs to. The category part is a bit different from what it seems to be like. Product A can belong to Category A, B and C while product B belongs A ,c and D and so on. Structure of this table would be something like The category columns are retrieved from database and passed as parameter to construct the columns dynamically in Datagrid. I have defined the following Datastructure on UI to handle this.
Product{
var productId:String;
var productName:String;
var status:String;
var categoryList:ArrayCollection;
}
I am not sure if this will be able to solve my problem. I think I will need to have a Map containing category Names and if it is applicable for that product.
I have a question about the Spark DataGrid and how it works in terms of garbage collection. What I'm finding is that if I dynamically add and remove columns from the DataGrid at runtime, the GridColumns and ItemRenderers never get freed from memory.
For instance, if I have a list with 10 items and I create 10 columns, there will be 100 ItemRenderers and 10 GridColumns. If I remove all of the columns, they are still there.

I have a single text field that attaches numerous lines of text. Because each line has an individual hyperlink, I'm using += and a for loop to append the next line. Here's the problem... When the text reaches the bottom it keeps going past the viewable area instead of becoming a new column - obviously by default. I know I can use scroll bars and all that mumbo jumbo, but having several columns is the way the client wants it.

I have a spark Datagrid with lot of columns. The problem is that if i have a long text in a cell, then the text goes over other columns. I want the text to stay in it cell, if it longer than the columns width, then the text to be truncated somehow.
View 1 RepliesIn my text field, I am looking to create a half return, so if I want space between two paragraphs, I don't have to use an empty return each time. Kind of like p padding in css. I also want to create a tab order in my text field, for better alignment of information. I am looking to create the look of two columns, where I have a date with a paragraph associated with it, with the paragraph being more then one line of the date, but staying indented. Lastly, and I am assuming this is a given, I would like the text to come from a xml or html file.!!!
View 3 RepliesI'd like to set up a 2 column, multi-row text box where a user/viewer could input text strings in and upon completion the text could be sent off, retaining its columns/rows, via email. This is on a page where clients can see a window dub of their videos and use one column to enter a timecode number(i.e. 1;03;25;23 or just 24;25) and the next to make comments.
I was thinking of two text input boxes- side by side, and then using some sort of dynamic arrays to create/push new input text boxes after a hard return is entered, but I can see all sorts of problems with that...
And I'm not sure if a data grid box component even accepts input text or whether a table would work etc. So I was wondering if you folks out there might have an idea as to the best approach for me to at least start researching or a on-point tutorial that covers this situation, etc.
I created a component that is multiple datagrids side by side that share the same columns (each datagrid is the same as the one before but with different data).ProblemThe header text only shows up on the last datagrid. How can I get the text to show up on all the datagrid headers?Here is how I instantiate the component.
<common:PageDataGrid width="100%" height="100%"
numGroups="5" numRows="9" dataProvider="{createData(5, 9)}">

I have 5 text files that contain a list of 50 items in each file.
I want to bring that information into a datagrid; 1 column per text file. I'd also like to extend the code to add more columns when new files are created.
I was able to bring in one column, but maybe an approach with xml, an xml connector and dataset would be better.
Here is the code so far:
Code:
var PATH:String = "10-12-09.txt";
var extIndex:Number = PATH.lastIndexOf( '.' );
var extless:String = PATH.substr( 0, extIndex );

View 5 RepliesI'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

View 1 RepliesI'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
//evaluate tags
private function evaluateTags():void{

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
