ActionScript 2.0 :: HTML In Textfield And Alpha Animations?
Jan 27, 2010
I need to be able to assign html/css-formatted text to a textfield within a movieclip and then be able to alpha that movieclip and have the html enabled textfield alpha with it.currently i have:1. My textfield within my movieclip with html enabled (property inspector), the font set to Arial* (the font symbol linkage from my library) and NOT embedded2. Font symbols for Arial and Arial Bold with linkage (exported to first frame)3. seperate dynamic text fields off stage, one with arial embedded and one with arial bold embedded (they are set to the font symbol in the library).I was briefly able to get it working by embedding the font on the textfield within the movieclip, but then curiosity go the better of me as I wanted to see what made it work and deleted the separate text fields (offstage ones) and tested the movie (which seemd to make the text field unable to have my css formatting (using Arial AND Arial Bold in same textfield).

This seems to be a consistent problem when working with htmlText in flash textfields that must be alpha'd. currently i have a clip with two dyn textfields inside it. The textfields are set to 'eurostile' font but NOT embedded. The clip itself has a filter applied to it in the hopes that cacheAsBitmap will be triggered. Offstage i have copies of the two textfields each having the 'basic latin' character set for eurostile embedded. This works locally where i have the font enabled on my system and i'm able to alpha in/out the text, but of course when i upload the font isn't displaying in eurostile (defaulting to Times or somesuch).

Sometimes in Flash, alpha transitions will just drop out without reason. They still appear in the preview mode, but when you export a swf it drops all tweened alpha animations. they become cuts instead. I've even tried opening the same file in CS4. Same dilemma.

I have a banner (160x600) and want to have 2 images (one at a time) slide into place and then fade out (alpha=0). Image1 should slide in and then fade to alpha=0, whiling fading out, Image2 should begin to slide in and then fade out as Image1 begins to slide in... this all needs to loop.
So this is the code I have which slides in the image and fades it out but I need for the fade out to overlap the next image sliding in and loop it all.
Code:
import fl.transitions.*;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
function finishHandler(event:TweenEvent):void[code]........

How does something like this work without Flash? http:[url]....I right-clicked on it but there's no Flash menu.I love Flash because its stable and works. But is using some sort of Javascript hack for this kind of complex behavior actually a good idea?

I've created a txtField with background set to true, backgroundColor set to a certain color, and txtField.alpha set to 10; however, the alpha does not work. The background color of txtField appears to have a full opaque color and not transparency.

how to set the alpha of a TextField in AS3. I am able to get the textfield to display, and have it formatted using the TextFormat class, but setting the alpha value anything below 1.0 does not make any difference. I have tried nesting the textfield within a sprite holder and changing the alpha of the sprite but it doesn't work.
I know that I need to be able to embed the font for dynamic textfield alphas to work (at least that was the case in AS2), but can anyone tell me how to get that working in AS3? What I need is to have the textfield display Verdana, non anti-aliased (i.e. device font).

From what I understand you can change the alpha value of a textfield to be fully transparent. I would like to have chat output that fades after a while. I was wondering if there was a way to change just a portion of the string inside of a text field to transparent. The textColor does not have an alpha value. I could just use multiple text fields but I would like to avoid doing that if possible for efficiency sake.

I've seen a few posts about this, but nothing that explains this issue concretely. Can anyone tell me how to change the alpha of a textfield in Actionscript 3?, and more importantly a textfield that uses embedded text fonts? I've heard changing blendmode.
I know how to do this in Flash IDE, but not purely in code.

I have a text caption (two textFields, one acting as a dimmable background and the second including the displayed text) that when added to the stage takes on the default alpha value (1) and is not changed when I address it in mouse_over and mouse_out events.Some background... What I want to accomplish is:
1) a horizontally scrolling image gallery
2) reads image source, caption title, link and page data from an XML file,
3) is re-usable on several web pages (both swf and xml) as it can identify the current page and dynamically display images appropriate to that page from the xml file
4) On image mouse over the image should resize (get bigger) and should pop up the text caption for the image (this is where I am stuck!!!)
5) on image click should take the visitor to a new url
I have cobbled this together from several tutorials and am not a developer.I sense I have gone terribly, terribly wrong with the textField stuff if not with other things too.The caption pops up on the stage at the bottom of the image (where it should be) at run time but at full alpha (1) even though I set it to 0 earlier.I suspect this means I am not loading these objects correctly (but I don't know where I've gone wrong).Then inside the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events I can't change the opacity attribute which makes me suspect I am not addressing these objects correctly (but I don't know where I have gone wrong here either).[code]

Folx; Does the manual document the setting of transparency in TextField.textColor or TextField.backgroundColor, not just the _alpha of the TextField altogether? If so, I cant seem to find it. In addition to the RGB/hex values, the color palette in the Properties panel allows you to set transparency in %, yes, but can this also be achieved programmatically?

I have a problem with animation of TextField. I prepared an animation of MovieClip (containing TextField), that in 0.5sec gets 50% alpha. Then I used "Copy movement as ActionScript 3.0..." option.When I copied it into a class and wanted to animate TextField, nothing matters, excepting weird TF movement.Here my button class code - class works alone:
package UI {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.text.*;[code]...........

know how to do this, and can't find anything directly in these pages.I have a menu .swf, embedded in an html. Press the buttons, a new html page loads.How can I have the newly-loaded html send a line of code to the menu to change the alpha of an instance so the menu button reflects which page the user is on. i thought it was only one simple line of code in the html sent to the .swf.

I have multiple ideas/designs which want to work into my new site. It utilises designing graphics in AE, exported as .swf that lay on an alpha, building them into my HTML page layout, and once there the alpha/space in the design will enable HTML background elements to show through. How do I set this up in AE, HTML or Flash?

Basically, there is a Flash movie embedded in the HTML TextFiled. The code is is as follows:
<img src="[URL]" width="470" height="350"></img>
<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>
<p>Is there any way to make the space between embedded Flash movie above and this text more narrow ???</p>
In case there is less line breaks (<br />) the text in the last paragraph is shown truncated from the beginnng (so it's like "ny way to make the space..."). Is this a bug in Flash Player or is there any way to render text below embered swf better?

I haven't worked with HTML TextFields much, and was wondering if this is even possible. I am working on an events calendar, which when loaded displays a list of the current month's event titles in an HTML TextField. I would like to have these titles be links that when clicked on would call an ActionScript line that would setFocus on the associated date TextField.

I have three objects on the stage, each of them holds different value. Then there is a text field. If, lets say one object is clicked textfield displays value of the object, if more objects are clicked on textfield displays the values of all objects counted together (I think you kind of know where I am coming from..
Now, after I have clicked on the objects I wanted, I would like the value of textfield to be passed to..possibly html form..Im not sure whether this can be done from the swf file, so was thinking that probably you can create a button that send the value somewhere, only dont know where and how..

I'm attempting to load HTML from the Shopify blog API into a TextField in Flash. The problem is that Shopify doesn't add width and height attributes to images that are in the blog posts. When I load these into Flash, the width and height of the image is ignored and the height of the TextField is incorrectl, which screws up my scrollbar among other things.
Is there any way to read the width and height of the images as they are loaded? I could possibly do this with PHP before it gets to Flash, but I'm not sure how.

I am trying to avoid having to unescape URL encoded XML nodes by using a CData node element. It is a hassle to URL encode the html to put into the XML which is then read into Flash.This is what I have so far:
Code:
//Create XML with HTML 1.0 tags
myXML = new XML('<![CDATA[<p>This is a paragraph<br><a href='http://www.amazon.com'><b><u>Link to Amazon</u></b></a></p>]]>');
//
//Create dynamic html textfield
[code]....
I know that Flash does not fully support CData, but I'm sure there has to be some workaround.I did try sending the XML toString() but that didn't change anything.
htmlXML=myXML.toString();//create var for conversion from xml to string
I want the textfield to render the HTML--not just display the tags.

I have pre-formatted HTML in a textfile. Let me know if any of this might already be an error-source- I am currently too tired to try out alternatives: The textfile looks something like this:
HTML Code:
<p><img src='biathlon' vspace='2' hspace='4' width='40' height='40'></img>Alot of text</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src='biathlon' vspace='2' hspace='4' width='40' height='40'></img>Even MORE Text</p>
<p><br></p>
It's saved as a ".txt"-file... I didn't think that would really make a difference? What I want to do is load the file and dump it directly to an HTML-enabled textfield, using something like
Code:
if (loaded) {
TickerData_txt.htmlText = this;
}
in the function connected to the "onLoad".
If I use "LoadVars" as a handler to load the file, it gives me the raw data, something like "%3Cp%3E%3Cimg%20src=%27biathlon%27%20vspace%3D%27 2%27..." (you get the idea)... If I use an XML handler, it only gives me the first entry when I use "this" to send the file's content to the htmlText-field... probably because each entry in the file is enclosed by "<p>"-tags and the XML-handler considers the file to be over once the first closing "</p>" occurs?
What would need to be added to the file to make it load it all? Or what would I need to change about the function to make sure it sends the whole content of the file? When I use "trace" on the "this" that is loaded, it actually *does* give back only what it also sends to the textfield, even though the text-file contains several rows of that stuff.
