I have a problem with the text on them.I want the text to wrap, autosize and be multiline - ie I want the button to be a certain width and if the text is longer for a particular button the button will be higher with the text going onto the next line.The wierd thing is that it worked, I went and made a cup of tea, came back and it was not working! Maybe the cat changed my code but I cannot see where.

How do I set the text wrap (multiline) for inputText box components?
View 3 RepliesI have a TextField with multiline and word wrap enabled, and a fixed width. I want to calculate the total height of the text inside it. I tried using TextField.textHeight, but that gives me the height of one line. Because of the wrapping, I can't easily calculate the number of lines to multiply it with the line height. TextField.height just gives me the fixed, default height of the field, 100 pixels.
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to show a long text in a dynamic text field with multiline attribute = on, without word wrapping? E.g., A dynamic text field contains 2 lines, and multiline is set to on. If I try to display a text in the text field, it is wrapping at the word, thereby losing some space in the text field (see code below):
my_fmt.size = 50;
this.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 100, 100, 280, 150);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.text = "One Hundredyears of solitude";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
The display is showing only "One Hundredyear" in two lines, and the rest of characters are below the visible text area. The issue here is in the first line there is only "One" displayed, leaving a lot of space. If I can accommodate more characters in the first line, without word wrapping, the second line can accommodate the rest of the characters.
I have two dynamic text fields on the stage. How can set the text to autoSize? I have this, but it's not working.
Code:
w.text.autoSize = true;
w.text = "100";
h.text.autoSize = true;
h.text = "100";
I am loading text dynamically (that works), but it won't use the autoSize at all. Below is my code.

I have a text field that is fed by an array of titles. The longer title are geting cuttoff in the field box, and Ive tried to autoscale.
How do I center text in within the border of a multiline Dynamic text field?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way I can stop a single word splitting over two lines when putting dynamic text into a fixed width, multiline text field?I have a simple method of checking if there are more lines than words and then running a while loop to reduce the font size until there are the same amount or less lines than words. But this doesnt always work, if say the final word of three is quite short and the second word splits over two lines then I still have 3 words and 3 lines.
View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic text field populated by xml which doesn't seem to like the autoSize property. The field populates correctly but doesn't auto size at all. The purpose of this text field is to inform the user of the url for an ad they can click on as they roll over it.
ActionScript Code:
popUpmc.popUpTxt.autoSize = true;
Setting autoSize while inside the XML onLoad() function and outside it made no difference. Please help, I'm sure I must be forgetting something? Does this have to be applied with a new text format or something?
I have a movieclip, with a dynamic text inside.This movieclip is already on stage.I have found several solutions to this TextFieldAutoResize, however, most of them requires to create a new text before implementing TextFieldAutoResize.LEFT or right or center or .... etcIs there any method to apply auto resize on dynamic text which are already placed on stage?
View 8 RepliesI have text that loads into a dynamic text field that is on the stage. The movie clip("tile" in code below) in which the dynamic text field resides is placed on the stage via loop function.
I can load the text from the xml file just fine.However, since each text field in loop autosizes, which is what I want, (in height only-width is fixed), I want the next text in the loop to load in a Y position based on the previous text box height including a "cushion" of my choosing.
I'm very close, but can't seem to get the math right that is needed for the tiles Y position...I'm thinking this should be simple
Here it is:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("faq.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoad, false, 0, true);

I created a comboBox(Using the one in Component/Flash). I am unable to make the texts in DropDown menu to be shown in MULTILINE. I have tried larger Row Heights and smaller texts so the issue is related to something else.

When you want to have linebreaks in a multiline text in AS you should write this, right?
Code:
var mytext:String="This is
what
I want";
so you have a 3-line text. ok, so i have a textfield, and its content will be loaded from a xml file. in my xml i have something like this:

I have some text pulled in from a db via cfm and remoted into flash - I'm trying to figure out a way to determine if whether or not a given string requires the vertical space of a multiline text box.Visually, two lines take up more space than a single line and when the string only takes up a single line, the second (empty) line creates to much whitespace and has everything below it too far away from that initial single line. When the string can fill both lines, it doesn't look bad at all - so, ultimately, I'm trying to get that whitespace gone.
View 1 Repliesi did a flash form for the first time.I have a multi line input text, it works fine when u type in the content.But when i hit sent, and I checked my email, the whole message is in one single line. All my other fields work fine cos they are single line input text.All my Variables are sent to my asp and then to my email.I guess my asp file did not capture the vbCrlf and convert it to <br>, am i right?

View 2 Repliesi have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off.
Anyone know of a good reg exp that can do this, optimally in one go? It needs to remove whitespace at begin/end of each line, remove LFs and CRs and replace with a single space but if there's a <br> (or <br/>) at the end of the line it should not add a space. I'd need this in a JavaScript conform regexp.
View 1 RepliesI have been asked to add support to a xml based website. I have been looking into it and have realised that it is not going to be very straight forward. The text does have english phrases in when describing products being used.
After doing some research I have found that CS3 does not 'support' rtl text. I also read that CS4 has added support, is this worth looking into? I read that it was buggy.
I found FlarabySWF which does what I think I am after, but not for all the languages I need, and only at design time rather than runtime.
I also found Gchats TextBox 3.0.0 but this didn't seem to work.
I also found some solutions using CSS, but these didn't seem to work with multiline text. See this example. It also didn't work as the text I am trying to display is bi-directional ..
Actualy, importing Arabic text is not a problem, but dealing with bidirectional text of Arabic and English within the same line is a big one.

View 1 RepliesDoes the TextField class support automatic vertical centering of multiline text? Any way to control vertical alignment other than "flush top"?
It seems like it ought to, but if there is a method or property in the class that turns it on, I can't find it. (Maybe a case of not being able to see the trees for the forest, there's so much junk in there, plus the TextFormat...)
I'm running into an issue where, if the dynamic text field I create wraps and autoSizes to 2 lines or more, the last disappears (sometimes partially). However, this only happens when I apply a DropShadowFilter to it. If I don't apply the drop shadow filter, it renders correctly. Note that whether or not the text renders correctly, flash seems to know that the text has wrapped and autosized, as this is how i assign the Y position of the second text field below it. See code below:
