I have a string such as image.jpg
I want to add another short string inside it... (for example : 01 or something). But this short string always has to apear just before the dot, like:
image01,jpg
picture01.jpg
photo01.jpg
I already found out how i can add a string inside it... but when the first string is longer the second string ofcourse doesn't show up on the right place..
is possible to align text in dynamic text control vertically to the middle? In flash CS3.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating Flash-based software that has text boxes where users write in the answers to questions. I want the text that the user types to be vertically aligned to the middle of the text box, so that even if the response is two or three lines, it is still centered in the box.
It doesn't appear that I can accomplish this through the properties window in Flash. Am I missing something? Or is it possible to set the properties of the text box with actionscript, and would that allow me to vertically align the text?
how can i middle a text in the Textfield that is 100px by 100px so that when i have 1 line its in the middle, when i have 2 lines its in the middle as well check attachment. when i do it right now it is always on the top i basically would need the same as when i have a HTML table by default so it is horizontal in the middle.
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with truetype font "DaxComp-Medi" and with some timeline and actionscript positioning. I have a mc in which I have another mc in which I have a circle in which I need to put the text in the center but that is not that easy.
Structure:
ActionScript Code:
mc1.mc.mc.txt
mc1.mc.mc.circle

So is there some way in as3 to get those numbers in the center of the (white) circles?
Do I need to convert the TextFields in to the BitmapData (how?), find positions of pixel that has some black color (How?), draw rectangle with that information, copy x and y point of the rectangle, center the rectangle in the circle, calculate offset x and y from the rectangles new position and add them the textfield x and y?

I am willing to use Macromedia Flash this year to make my physics project. Well, its going to be force resultant calculator. for ones dont know how it gets counted.
Well, I'll make 4 input text boxes, and a button in the middle. 1 text boxin the north, (power effect the body from the north) one on the south, one on the east and one on the west.(I've done that part).
Then, ill need it to subtract the north - south and east - west on(release), and display that on a dynamic box called Fx (east - west) and another called FY (north - south) Finally, I'll need it fethagorth the Fx and FY to give me the final force resultant. I've done the 4 input boxes and a button, I'll still need someone gimme the action script for subtraction and fethagorth (or atleast teach me how to do it).
If I want to align things vertically in a container, I'll use verticalAlign="middle", but this doesn't exactly solve the problem of truly aligning text vertically. Text is always too high vertically, so in the past, I've just adjusted paddingTop and paddingBottom to compensate, but that doesn't work as the font for _sans differs from operating system to operating system.
Given the following layout code, you'll see the problem:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

What happens is pretty clear. The horizontal line gets aligned to the exact middle of the box, but the text is offset by some arbitrary amount. I assume that this is because of the text baseline alignment or something. Is there a way to fix this regardless of the font size and face? I'd like to have the line essentially go right through the middle of the text, ignoring the extra space possibly needed for below the logical line of text (ie: ignore the bottom part of "g's" and "j's" when laying things out).
I want to make a kind of splat with some dynamic text in the middle. i have the shape, but i cant resize the text to always be centralized...
View 1 RepliesI need to make the "rcheck2_txt" rotate 180. With this script it does what I need. But currently the centre point is in the top-left corner of the dynamic text box. How do i change the X Y cordinates so the centre point is in the middle of the dynamic text box?

I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

View 1 RepliesI have a time format like so: 00:00:00.00 (hours, minutes, seconds, millieseconds). This is stored into a string called adminTime.
But I need to make it so that the string takes what ever the time is and changes it to 00:00 (hours and minutes)
So basically a way of looping though the string and removing the seonds and milleseconds.
