ActionScript 2.0 :: MC That Resizes According To Text Length?

Sep 27, 2006

I am trying to create a movieclip that can be used as a button that has a textfield and also a box in the background behind the textfield that is relative to the width of the textfield. I want to do this so I can dynamically create a bunch of these MCs with different text as labels and that are all different widths according to how long the text is. The end result should be a bunch of MCs that have different text on them and that have boxes of varying widths relative to the text they contain.When I create a textfield dynamically I have to specify the width first and so I can't figure out how to choose the width after I have created the textfield, determined by it's contents.

Actionscript 3 :: Remove Equally Spaced Elements From An Array With Length Of 'n' To Match A Given Length 'y'?

Mar 9, 2011

Let's say I have array foo and a positive integer y, where foo.length > y.I want to remove elements from foo so that foo.length becomes y (or very close to it).Also, I need to preserve the first and last element of foo. The indices of the removed elements must be spaced apart as equally as possible. Foo can be sliced, or it can be used to create a new array.

Example: if foo = [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1,2,3,4,5] and y = 6, then trimmedfoo could be [a,c,e,g,2,4,5] or maybe [a,c,e,2,4,5], but not [a,c,e,g,2,4] because the last element of foo is missing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextFormat Changes With Text.length

Aug 27, 2011

I want the font size of a dynamic text box to change according to the number of characters of the input text. The user types in whatever (up to 50 characters long), then hits an update button to see it in the dynamic text box. But since the dynamic text can only be a single line within a defined area with no horizontal scrolling.

Here's the code I'm having a problem with:

Code:
updateBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, updateIt);
inputText.maxChars = 50;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Length Of Text In Bytes?

Feb 23, 2011

I want to count how many bytes the text in a textfield are. Similar to the lenB in asp.net. I'm trying:

userText.text.ByteArray.length

It isn't working, perhaps I using it wrong. The reason I want it is so that multi byte characters will return as 3 bytes but spaces and numbers will still be 1 byte.

I get: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property ByteArray through a reference with static type flash.text:TextField.

I have: import flash.utils.ByteArray;
