I have a dynamic text box, which is fed text from an external text file. The "render as HTML" button is turned on. On the external text file, what is the HTML tag for centering text? I tried CENTER, but it failed.
View 5 RepliesI am using AS2 and am trying to load text with the html formatting in place. The button for render text as HTML is clicked and I tried using the action script with the same purpose. Some of the html reads, such as <b> instead of <strong>, the <p> and </br> tags are working. I cannot however get <i>, colors, etc... to work. I have embedded all of the characters and glyphs into the dynamic text field. Nothing seems to be working for several of the text attributes which are present in the .txt file I'm loading.
View 5 RepliesI've used, for the first time, the htmlText method to render the text in my textfields as html text that is provided by a xml. So in the xml i introduce the html tags. Don't have experince with this so i'm asking you how can i do it properly? Every time i use a tag except <p> i get another extraline. For instance: "This is my text. <b>Starting</b> with a boldy little line."

I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.
View 2 Repliesi am loading my text into a text box which is rendered as HTML. this works fine, except if i put this code
HTML Code:
<font color='#00FF00'>sfdg</font>
where it just says that, and doesnt change the colour, any way to get it working?
Flash's dynamic text rendered as HTML will not render � or � Try it yourself, it wont work.Yes, I embedded the symbols, I also embedded ALL 39477 GLYPHS just to test it - and it still didn't work.
Yes, I tried £ ¥ (insertAmpersandHere)#163; (insertAmpersandHere)#165; I also tried %A3 %A5 but perhaps I applied it wrong?Here is my code - all instances in the script of � � £ ¥ %A3 %A5 do not show the symbols:
htmlText = "My text: � � £ ¥ (insertAmpersandHere)#163; (insertAmpersandHere)#165; %A3 %A5 ";
Remember, this text is to be rendered as HTML - when it is not rendered as HTML, the symbols are rendered (because I embedded them) but I want this text rendeed as HTML, unfortunately, Flash overlooked the 2nd and 4th of biggest economies in the world's currency symbols?
I would like create a text area with code highlighting in flex. Is there an advanced textArea witch suports css for real. For example:

myTextArea.htmlText = myHtmltext;
I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?

I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.
My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.
In HTML when you assign as FONT format... font face="verdana,arial" when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.
Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?
Obviously to prevent that when people don't have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up
I am linking to an external text file, (.txt), and I am working in Flash CS3, Actionscript 3.0, and attempting to use dynamic HTML coding.The scroll bars work, but all the text after <font size=.... doesn't show up. Below is my actionscript for the text window:
var content_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("agenda.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

The Lynda book I am using doesn't explain very much about the html coding beyond adding a few <it> and <b>. When I use them they show up fine. But when I place this text in the .txt file:
<font size=14> <align=left> Blah Blah Blah </font></align>
Nothing shows up! When I take away the <font size> al the text reappears, yet unformatted.
i want to parse the web html to flex text field
to use string function splice etc. to replace tags with the one which text fields can understand but is it too complex and processing over head is there that reduces the efficiency but i have max control to do changes what i needed. parsing the html to xml and then use this as the text input to text field what about the efficiency and control need to know about from this question. regular expressions .
I'm using Flex to generate text that will be copied to the clipboard so a user can paste a grid into Excel. For instance it might generate the following text which can be copied into Excel:
<html><body><table><thead><tr>
<th>COL1</th>
<th>COL2</th>
<th>COL3</th>
</tr></thead><tbody><tr>
[Code] .....
I have some columns that contain numbers that should be considered text, for instance they have leading zeros that shouldn't be removed. How do I set the formatting for these columns so the leading zeros don't get removed in Excel?
I am browsing for a solution for about 2 hours, but I did not find anything that would help. I have a dynamic text field, and I would like to format it, (to highlight the first 2 words in red, and the rest in italics). Usually I load external .txt files and I use HTML tags for formatting the text inside. But this time I have to do it internally.

View 3 RepliesIf you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";

View 1 RepliesI'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;

Beginner question here to which I haven't found an answer to: I have an external XML document loading within flash and was wondering if it it's possible to change a frame/label from withing HTML rendered content using getURL?
This is probably not possible, but is there a suitable method for doing so when it comes to loading external content and controlling the timeline?

So I am bringing in a blog post via xml/rss feed to the clients website. Everything is working beautifully except for the formatting.

View 5 RepliesI've been trying to figure out a way to use html formatting inside an xml document and have accomplished it, but the only problem is that undefined is displayed before the text???So the final result when I test the flash file is:undefinedThis is bold textHow it works is the html tags in the xml document are written using the [ brackets instead.The function searches through the selected node(s) and converts the [] to <>
Heres the code:
ActionScript Code:
function xmlTags(xml)

View 3 RepliesBasically I'm getting text from xml and placing it in a text field that is created inside a movie clip via movieClip.createTextField. I've got the odd bold word to deal with within standard body text, so I'm putting those inside the <b> html tags. My CDATA is set up fine and everything works perfectly when I'm just placing a textField on the stage in flash and enabling html rendering in the properties and etc, BUT when I create the textField in actionscript on a movie clip (because I'm using the height of the movie clip as the scrollable height) the text isn't actually bolded, the tags are just rendered as if they were any other text.As far as I can tell I've got my textField.html, textField.multiline and textField.wordWrap properties set correctly, so I'm not sure what's happening.
