ActionScript 2.0 :: Hover Caption Tutorial / Formatting

May 8, 2006

I followed the hover caption tutorial, everything worked, etc. What I want to do is experiment with different uses for the hover captions. I tried to put longer text inside the quotes ("something something blah blah blah" instead of "Portable Devices", etc), but it extends the yellow box way past the text, and if I try to make it multiple lines I get this error mesage:

captionFN(false);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Resize The Caption Box To Match The Caption Text's Length

Jul 24, 2003

I've completed the Hover Caption tutorial at [URL] successfully. What I'd like to do in addition, is to resize the caption box to match the caption text's length.

I've tried giving the background box a name (box) and turning it into a button and then doing:

_root.caption.box._width = _root.caption.help.length * 8;

But the box never aligns with the text properly after that. don't know what methods to call in order to get the bottom corner of the text and bottom corner of the box and align them properly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tab Navigation.Having With Caption?

Jun 15, 2009

I have written a tab nav class for learning purposes but have run into an issue with the tab captions. I invoke the tab class by sending in an array of the buttons that are needed, tabs are displayed accordingly. with the tab creation loop, I create the textfields for earch tab caption which is displayed as expected. I then have MouseOut and MouseOver effects which works (tab color changes accordingly), however, when MouseOver and MouseOut effects are triggered, the caption is no longer visible because, the mouse effect changes the caption text color which I don't know how to stop. I just want the the tab to change color NOT the caption.

.FLA - How Does The Button Instance Appear As The Caption In The Text Box

Mar 19, 2009

I am trying to learn Flash and as soon as I think I am in good shape, comes along this "curve ball". Take a look at the .FLA from this site ([URL]) How in the world do the alpha buttons get their captions? I understand the numeric ones, but alphas completely baffle me as there is no code (that I can find) that sets them. I have deleted all of the Actions, I have deleted virtually everything there is, and I still can't figure out how does the button instance appear as the caption in the text box.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Auto-resize A Caption?

May 6, 2004

I just can't see it. I took a resizing prototype function from the compiled fla in the resizing slideshow thread (found here, post #171) and combined it with the concepts from the hover caption tutorial on kirupa. But instead of creating a dynamic text box in the hover movie clip I am creating the text dynamically using createTextField and then autosizing it using textfield.autoSize = true (didn't seem to work when I used "left"). When you use createTextField you have to specify a width and height. The autoSize command seems to dynamically resize the textfield in height but not in width. When running a trace the width is always the same though the height changes

flvCaption.showCaptions=false;
Hides the captions, but also disables the captionButton in the skin, so there is no way to toggle showing and hiding the captions.
