ActionScript 2.0 :: Horizontal Spacing With Dynamic Text Boxes?
Mar 29, 2004
Using the tutorial for the Digital Clock I have created my own date viewer.However, because the text boxes are dynamic, I cannot edit the horizontal spacing of the font.I wish my date to look like the image below but as I cannot edit the horizonatal spacing, I cannot squeeze the letters together.

i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
I am looking for some sample fla files in AS2 where i can see a running example of dynamic text curve (bend) and spacing in between the text through their respective sliders.
I have a dynamic text box, displaying the text from XML file, which is created dynamically.My issue is that the text is shown in double spacing, instead of single spacing.I've been researching this for hours, and one website discussing this issue as "when a user insert value from windows platform, flash translates line brake as double space." So, when I look at the XML file, there is only one
So I have a project where there are 5 dynamic text fields, and I thought it would be quite simple. Create a dynamic text field, and then load in the .xml content, and I had it complete. However, it turns out that spacing is quite important, so my method will not work, and I'm kind of stumped how to proceed.So the things highlighted in red represent the .xml nodes, and as the width (character count) of TEAM1 and TEAM2 change, the spacing needs to remain consistant, and the static elements (the "vs." and "|" need to move accordingly, and the TEAMLOCATIONS need to stay lined up as well..Does anyone have a good idea how to handle this, or a good tutorial they could point out? I'm trying to build my own array structure, and calculate the width of "TEAM1", but it's slow going..
I would like to apply letter spacing on a dynamic text box, but it seems once I export the swf, the letter spacing defaults back to 0. How can this be done?
can't figure out why the dynamic text boxes in my dynamic clip arent picking up the variable when I loop through this recordset!the trace (you'll see here right after I try two ways to assign the variable) traces the correct info back..
I'm building a dynamic menu and am struggling to give the same distance to the text fields with different widths. When I turn on the "autoSize TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT" some text fields are overlapped, and, aligned when I turn off, but, they all get the same size (100px by default - dont know why), which makes the distance between them unequal.
Here is the code:
Actionscript Code: // main timeline objectvar index:Object=this;// New Xml Objectvar fileXml:XML;// check how many menu items we have.var totalMenuItems:Number;// Main Menu Propertiesvar spacing:int=5;var menuItem_txt:TextField;// New URL Requestvar xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader(new
in my Flash movie (CS3) I want all text to be selectable. When I select 'static' and 'selectable', I have the following issues: Some of the text does not fit into the available (scrolling required to see the end of text) This is larger than when in Flash.
I have a multi-line dynamic text on the stage. When a large amount of text content (e.g 200 words) appear in the dynamic text (with newline/paragraph spacing), the space between the paragraphs are too large. How do I lessen the paragraph spacing?

I am building a horizontal navigation and I am having trouble getting equal spacing between the mc's. Inside the mc's there is a text box that will contain different titles.
This component requires that you use Dynamic text, the Multiline behavior, and embed all fonts. There are 5 lines of copy on the banner. I need to make two of the lines of copy a larger font and also adjust line spacing on two of the lines. I can accomplish this using Static Text but cannot seem to get it to work in Dynamic Text. If I change the font size on selected text it changes ALL of the font sizes for everything within that text box.
I have 4 dynamic text boxes which duplicates the text from a main input text box. How do I write a code to make visible only the dynamic text box I want when clicked it's check box.What is the CODE to make each "DYNAMIC TEXTBOX" visible when clicked on it's checkbox?
What im going to be doing is replacing the bottom info with just a link-strip, unfortunatly I didn't want to have to sift through ten dynamic text fields re-animating every one with tweens to the way I wanted them so I set them all to a parent variable defined as "mt", such variables being as follows:HomePortfolioDocumentationDev BlogCase StudiesSupport For
I was wondering if it's possible to have a dynamic text box that can change sizes, without distorting the text displayed in it... I would also like to set it up dynamically.
I have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
I'm trying to implement a feature like the text boxes in adobe photoshop. I want my user to be able to add a text box to the stage that they can move(drag and drop) and go back and change the text later. I also want to be able to keep track of the text boxes so I can let the user change the color, etc. How can I do this?
I had a form working fine at [URL] and then I edited something that made it screw up. I have been poring over the code but I can't figure out what I did wrong.look at the Contacts page and tell me if you can discern what would cause the lettering in the dynamic text boxes.
This might be straight forward, but I would like to know how could one link dynamic text boxes so that the information would flow? In a way, the information would flow from:
(XML) Input A into BOXA00, BOXA01, BOXA02, BOXA03, etc. (XML) Input B into BOXB00, BOXB01, BOXB02, BOXB03, etc. (XML) Input C into BOXC00, BOXC01, BOXC02, , BOXC03, etc.
