If the user navigates away from the screen its on, and come back, the text field cant take input anymore. Flash says the field is there. That its a input field. The pointer changes alrigt, but i cant type into it? and the bug fixing text i put into it disappears. When navigating to another page i kill the movieclip its in with:
ActionScript Code:
removeMovieClip(var_holding_clip);
I have a screen in a Flash window with four TextFields(just regular text, no html formatting).If I tab from one TextField to the next, select all the text (using keyboard command), and then start typing, the text formatting is removed.
This does not happen if I click into the TextField before tabbing into it.Even clicking into a TextField, placing the insertion point at the begging of the text, selecting via keyboard, and typing does not reproduce the effect.I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the TextField receiving focus, but am not sure how to work around it as there is no restricted order to type into TextFields.
I have event listeners for when an image is loading and for when loading is complete.
Both of them fire--I've used traces to confirm that.
But I can't get the text field that says "Loading..." to disappear once the image has loaded. I've tried making the text field invisible, making the text equal nothing, and removing it as a child. Nothing is working. Maybe I am not manipulating the text field properly?
Code://game_display_bitmapData is an object which contains bitmap data. this bitmap data is loaded from an XML file.

Now what happens is tht only one button is visible or workin at any point of time. But if i use say, "xyz_button" as the params for the about_button. then it works fine. i can see both the buttons. also i tried giving unique names to the button, even that didnt work.
I am willing to do something like this in flash. Just 2-3 clocks showing times of different countries will also do.
I figured out that it has to be done by GMT, Time Zone but don't know how. I don't know php or jawa or any other language. Just basic flash scripting.
For anyone that has ever run into the flaw that makes dynamic content disapear in IE I've found the solutionThe issue is caching -- I'm not sure what causes the issue but I do know that in IE it tries to cache the PHP/XML doc and it screws everything upthe fix is to concatinate a random/unique string at the end of the load request - Like so-gStuff.load("link.php?cachebuster=" + new Date().getTime());works like a charm ... my problem in IE was when you clicked refresh or you clicked the button that loaded the information into the dynamic text field it would disapear.more info / detail can be found here
View 1 RepliesI'm having issues with dynamic text disappearing under a specific circumstance. When the playhead enters the Photos frame the code below is executed. This code sets the text value of the linkTEXT textfield and adds a bitmap to the linkTHUMB mc. The code runs perfectly and everything is populated most of the time.
The exception... The website has 4 frames which it can navigate to (home, photos, order, contact). If I stay within the first three, each time I navigate to Photos the textfields and bitmaps will be populated and display correctly. However, if I navigate to the Contact page, either before or after I've already visited the Photos page, only the bitmaps will display.
Strangely enough, the textfields still trace their proper values. It also appears as if their parent movieclips are still in the display list since I get the hand cursor when I mouse over their x+y coordinates. If I trace the parent's numChildren property I can see the textfield is still a child.
So where is the text going, or why does it suddenly disappear? If the textfield is still there and it's on stage in the display list why isn't the text being displayed?
I've created a button that I turned into a library class and am pulling onto my stage (same as attachMovie is AS2). This button has a timeline which does a small amount of animation. In my AS, I am loading a thumbnail into each button class and am also assigning mouseevents of roll_over and roll_out to my button... this all is working so far. On roll_over the button's timeline plays to a point; on roll_out, the button's timeline plays to the end and then goes back to the first frame. BUT now my image is gone. Why? Here is my AS:

I'm using the following to remove a textFeild from the stage I then need to add this textField back to the stage at a later time....i tried using addChild the problem is the text that was in the text field prior to the removal is still in the textfield when i re add it......How do i remove the textfield and replace it with a fresh textfield at a later time?....using msgTa.text =""; is not an option.
View 4 RepliesI have a static textfield using Myriad Pro bold font that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font. If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT and test the SWF, the text shows up as a system font; not Myriad Pro If I set it to EMBED CHARACTERS the text doesn't show up at all on ANY system, whether the font is installed or not.
I have tried adding the font to the Library and using that "Family" for Properties>Character in my dynamic text box, but get the same results as when I don't set that to EMBED CHARACTGERS. I've tried selecting the font for the textfield as both the standard OS Font, as well as the one with the Asterisk next to it, but get the same results both ways. The library font is set to "export for actionscript" and "on frame 1". I don't think it's an issue with the font not being available, as I'm able to see it when setting textfield to STATIC type, and I use the font in other CS4 products (Photoshop, etc.).
I have a .f4v on a layer using the FLVPlayback command. On top of that I have a dynamic text layer. It plays fine in a browser or at the exported resolution. When I use the command ("fullscreen", "true") or when I open the .swf and go full screen using CTRL-F the text disappears. I have removed the video and put the text on a solid background layer to determine it is the video causing this. I have also tried to convert the .f4v to a .flv and embed it in a .swf in multiple manners but the end result is always the same as the text disappearing.

I tried to make a status box. But the problem is text is not showing on status box. Here is my code.
Code:
package {

first I had:
maskedImg = getChildByName("current") as MovieClip;
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and everything worked properly. Then I removed the movieclip from the scene, exported it to Actionscript, and changed the code to
maskedImg = new mymovieclip();
addChild(maskedImg);
maskedImg.mask = mymask;
and now I don't see anything on the scene. If I comment out the line assigning the mask I can see the movieclip although. The mask is created dynamically in both cases.
I have an odd predicament that I'm trying to wrap my head around. I have a textField, that is populated by data from an xml file. It contains simple line html line break tags, and when I use the htmlText option, it doesn't seem to recognize those tags, even though they don't show up when I view it online. Here is my code:

var varName:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (varName in paramObj) {

I can't figure out how to make it render properly. If I choose a dynamic text field already on the stage it works fine, but then the scrollbar doesn't work. I read that a TextField automatically uses a scrollbar when it gets too long. Can anyone suggest a possible work around for this? I feel the answer is staring me in the face and I just can't see it.

I have a setup a PageHolder class (based on MovieCLip) that displays a doted area with a (page) number in the middle.
Now attempting to populate my LayoutPane, I create new instances of of PageHolder whose constructor is tasked to set the text value of its only Texfield to the value specified in the new PageHolder parameter.
The problem here is that only the character present in the Library Object will display at run time.
For example, I have setup my PageHolder object with a text field containing the number "0". Now at run time, every instance of PageHolder is blank except fro the one that I passed a "0" as part of the init parameter (10,20,30,...) and on those pages, only the "0" is showing. If I change the original object to display a "1" instead, then every "1" of the page number that contains a "1" show ups.
Can somebody shed some light on this?

import flash.display.MovieClip;

im building this interface in FLASH CS5, where i want to place a digital clock, i created a MovieClip InstanceName "RELOJ" in that MovieClip i have two layers, one with two Text Fields that are going to display Time and the other the Date, and on the other layer is the actionscript (AS3) of the whole clock and date.ok, now i place that movieclip on my Main TimeLine, i play the swf but i dont see the clock working.I have tried placing an Actions layer on my main timeline and writing "RELOJ.play()" but nothing... How do i play that MovieClip?UPDATE: This is the code inside the MovieClip. The Fonts are Embedded.

I have an empty movie clip(say A) on a layer and then I have masked it with a display object(say a rectangle). Now I have an movie clip(say B) containing a input text field and I am adding this movie clip(B) dynamically in movie Clip(A).
When I compile it, the input text field is taking input for sure, cz I have applied some traces on change event of that field. But the characters inside the field are not showing up.
I have a project where I need to show a TextField with a monetary ammount
var tf:TextField = new TextField()
tf.htmlText = "<font size="30">1</font>99";
This will show the 99 cents as subscript. How do I show this as superscript?
It's important that I display this in the same textfield so I don't have to worry about 2,3, or 4 digit dollar values or values with no cents. The alignment will be a lot of work. I googled the GG Superscript fonts but because this is dealing with localization, I need to use device fonts rather thatn embedded. Also size is priority so embedding fonts is something that is not really an option.
I tried to search but 99% of the posts I saw were referring to manually created dynamic text boxes instead of.. algorythmically generated text for lack of better phrasing.
I'm trying to make an AS3 .swf that would display a small array of letters that have been created with TextField's, and not with dynamic text's being dragged onto the stage since there's going to be more than 100 of them. I've tried setting the textfield's .embedded to true, changing the fonts, making sure the text and backgrounds are different colors.. nothing.
