Is there a way to eliminate additional spaces in text variables? Example: The forum already eliminate the spaces. Imagine that "_" is space on the following sentences:
text = "__________KirupaForum______is_the__best____Flash_ tutorial____site_of_the___World_______"
Eliminating spaces...
text = "KirupaForum_is_the_best_Flash_tutorial_site_of_th e_World".
I've been attempting to load an external .swf within a parent .swf. The problem is that the external .swf requires additional variables to pull it's content from a database. This code of course works just fine if the .swf doesn't contain any additional variables or if it's requesting an image.
Is it possible to do this using the GET method, or is there an alternate method while using Loader()?
parent.php as3:
ActionScript Code:
var loadit = new Loader();
addChild(loadit);
loadit.load(new URLRequest("gallery.swf?xmlUrl=http://localhost/gallery/api/rest/get_gallery/1/json"));
The external .swf is obviously gallery.swf while the variable that is necessary for it to function is [URL]
For example, if I have two classes called _Sub_class and MainClass
[Code]....
Does test3 take up the same space as when it's initialized? (i.e. when a function inside MainClass call the initialize function for the test3 variable?)
I have a problem with multiple listeners. Basically I have a box which displays some text and when I hit the space key additional text from the box appears. But the problem is the space key also starts the game.
I want the space key to first display the additional text then hitting the space key starts the game.
So, any ideas how I can use the space key twice without disrupting the first key press?
i have a scrollbar in which i want to add additional text field. i can add bitmaps, but when i put new textfield, it doesn't display, even if i convert it to movie or graphic.
View 3 RepliesI want to make a text box that will not allow spaces to be entered. Is there some actionscript to do this?
In other words, a user typing 'John Smith' would just display 'JohnSmith'.
I have a Send to a Friend form I modified from lewip's awesome xml newsreader slideshow. [URL] I have everything in the text inputs being passed correctly, but I would also like the email sent to contain a small amount of text, that the user does not input, to explain why the recipient has just received the email. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.
View 3 RepliesI'm slowly converting my older Director-made tutorials to Flash. The user inputs text, and then I evaluate it. Before this evaluation, I want to remove spaces to avoid the user's input being counted incorrect because of an extra space. How do I do this for Flash CS5?
Here's what I did for Director.

I made the following function to fade in and out four clips:
Code:
function fadeSq (clips, fade, speed){
while (clips.length){
clips[0].onEnterFrame = function(){
var fadeOut = fade - this._alpha;
[code]....
and I'm calling the code this way:
Code:
this.fadeSq ([btn_about_us, btn_Products, btn_product_codes, btn_contact_us], 0, 3);
As you al can see am I using underscores in the call back function, which I don't want because I want to display the information in a dynamic textfield. But when I leave open spaces I get all kind of errors. How can I prevend this?

View 2 RepliesI have been trying to get this working right for days and it is driving me crazy. It should be very easy, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I'm loading in an external text file, which is fine, but the problem is with how it is displaying.
It should look like the attached word file. But when I paste it in a text file it gets messed up. A sample of that is attached as well. I have tried making it look the same in the notepad file, but that doesn't come out right in the flash.
I have tried everything, importing as html, using xml files, copying the text into different programs and then into the text file.
how to do the text effect where the lines tween together one by one (the spaces reduce), check [URL]
View 1 RepliesJust to give you a little background, I am using CS4 and AS3, publishing to FP9. I am embedding fonts dynamically at runtime and there seems to be an issue with my dynamic 'html' text field when I have <b> tags within the CDATA.
In some cases, Flash seems to be rendering the bold text too close to the preceding character. Sometimes, even overlapping the preceding character. For the most part, this appears to be happening when the bold text appears at the end of the line before the text is wrapped.
I will note that, any text in the xml file wrapped in <b></b> tags is actually appearing bold, so I don't think it has anything to do with font embedding. In case it does, here is how I am embedding the font groups:
// Semi Bold
[Embed(source="/fonts/Anvers/AnversSemiBold.otf", fontName="AnversSemiBold", fontWeight="normal", fontStyle="regular", advancedAntiAliasing="true", mimeType="application/x-font")]
public static const ANVERS_SEMI_BOLD:Class;
I have a text box that is about 300 pixels wide and can't be any wider. I also have a lot of text, so wordWrap and multiline are set to true. Works great! Only problem is that the text wrapping creates a lot of unused white space in the right margin of the box. This white space takes up a lot of room and looks kind of rough.
Is it possible to have Flash automatically hyphenate the text in the box to avoid the big white spaces along the right edge of the box?
I need to trim away away all the extra spaces that a users types into my input text field. I know that there are a few ways possible, but i'm not sure how to go about doing it.

Here's the thing.I am making my first game, a click and drag (dress up if you want to ) game...It is finished and working..But since it serves as an educational aid in history group, it would be great if I could somehow add some kind of pop-up window with text describing every item in game..For example "14th century bascinet developed from the steel cap bla bla bla...".And if that is not possible is there some other way all this info about these items (there is about 24 items in game) could be fitted in this kind of application

View 1 Repliesim sure other ppl have been faced with this dilemma. say that you are attaching an event listener to an object which obviously if revoked, will call a function. now how do you send additional params with listeners?so you get something like:
Code:
public function eventHandler(e:Event, additionalParam:*){}
i have a solution for this and that is to attach it to the caller so it could be accessed with e.target.variable but i dont know if this is the way to go.
I watched a tutorial for a link that loads an image into a container with the code
var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/c1.jpg");
var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
load1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickF);
function clickF(event:MouseEvent):void {
img1Loader.load(img1Request);
img1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadNowF);
function loadnowF(event:Event):void {
[Code]...
is there a way to load additional images into the same container to make a picture gallery?I tried adding additional lines duplicating the "var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/c1.jpg");" by changing everything from 1 to 2 and so on but still errors, and i'm clueless Also another question, several tutorials tell to add actions to movie clips but i keep getting the "current selection cannot have actions applied to it"
