View 2 RepliesI am trying to bring in multiple RSS feed nodes into one Dynamic Text field in Flash CS3 using AS3. I have made vars for my headline node and my description text node and I am able to have them both display in the same dynamic text field by formatting them with HTML tags. My problem is changing the text size and color for the description node var. Is this possible in the same Text field. Can the default text format be overidden by code?
Here is what I have so far....
ActionScript Code:
//This code loads and Parses the RSS feed
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

I tried adding size = '8' in the <p> tag but it did not override the default size in the Dynamic Text Field (dtfa) properties.
I have a date field in flex and have the format set to YYYY-MM-DD. As long as the user clicks the calendar pop-up it set's it that way. However, I need to allow the field to be human enter-able so they can type in a date.The problem is, most users want to type the format MM/DD/YYYY. I have a tool tip that shows the format, but how can I check the format and change it to the YYYY-MM-DD format, or do something else appropriate (alert?)?
View 1 RepliesI was interested in searching through the text in a textfield and applying formatting to key words. For example, every time the word 'the' appears, apply a text format the changes it to green and 14pt.[code]...
View 0 RepliesI have a single texfield. I want to set the default format of that textfield to a certain value and alignment. Then, draw the text onto a bitmapdata. Then, I want to change the default format of THAT single textfield to a new format, change the alignment, and change the text contained in it. Then draw it at a new location.I want to do the above many times to use the same textfield to draw in multiple locations in multiple styles.
Code:
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500,300);

I want to assign different formatting to different segments of text in a textfield. I tried assigning a format to a string and then concatinated it to the text and it was not accepted.How would I assign different formatting in the same textfield?
code follows:
format assigned to the textfield:
var sngTitle:TextField = new TextField(); sngTitle.text = 'Title: ';var sngTtlForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); sngTtlForm.font = "Stencil Std"; sngTtlForm.italic = true; sngTtlForm.color = 0xffcc00; sngTtlForm.size = 24; text I want to add to the above textfield:[code]................
I was wondering: how to make a dynamic text box a little more customizable.what i mean: how do i start new paragraphs.. i've set it to multiline, but it just goes onto next line at end of current one which is fine
if i press enter, and go to new line in the actionscript, it creates an error, as the on function isn't finished...also, how to set the box to justify ALL test inside it.. even though i've selected the justify tab on the properties of the box, it doesn't do it properly ....
someThin.text = String(value1) I'm using the above code to pass an integer to a dynamic textBox.The problem is I'd like to post a second variable (value2) in the same textBox as well as a '/' between them. I could use multiple textboxes but that just seems sooooo inefficient.
I've tried the following permutations and none have worked.
someThin.text = String(value1 ' ' value2) ;
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' (value2);
someThin.text = String(value1) '/' String(value2);
I have a little issue im trying to resolve. Basically i want to inherit the embedded text format properties from one text field which i have off the stage (empty) to another text field i have on stage. Ive came across the function of getTextFormat(), however when i try to apply this to the other text field it doesnt work:
ActionScript Code:
onStageTextField.getTextFormat(offStageTextField);
Ive embedded italics into my test field which is off stage. I guess im doing this completely wrong?! I know i could simply create a new TextFormat() then apply that to the text field but is there a way of inheriting the format properties of one tex tfield to another on stage?

To check if a sentence started with PING, I wouldn't be able to, because it will only acknowledge the first line (even though I can append all of it to a text box fine). I also tried testing scenarios with strings containing multiple lines, but found that by making a string equal to multiple lined text, it produces this error:"1094: Syntax error: A string literal must be terminated before the line break.", and I checked, I didn't miss out any speech marks.
In Actionscript and Adobe Flex, I'm using a pattern and regexp (with the global flag) with the string.match method and it works how I'd like except when the match returns multiple occurrences of the same word in the text. In that case, all the matches for that word point only to the index for the first occurrence of that word. For example, if the text is "cat dog cat cat cow" and the pattern is a search for cat*, the match method returns an array of three occurrences of "cat", however, they all point to only the index of the first occurrence of cat when i use indexOf on a loop through the array. I'm assuming this is just how the string.match method is. I want to find the specific indices of every occurrence of a match, even if it is of a word that was already previously matched.

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.

When you want to split a string in to an array, seperated by the letter "e" for example. So string: 0e5e8e7 would become 0,5,8,7..[code]Is there a way you could split a string by multiple values? So instead of it splitting the string when it comes across "e", could you have it split when it comes across "e", or another character.

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a movie player on a website of mine.. similar to YouTube. I would like people to be able to upload their movies on to my site. So my question(s) are regarding the FLV Format and if you can play other formats some how like Movs, Avis, Wmvs and Mpegs?
(1) Flash can only play FLV files? Can you get it to play Movs, Avis, Mpegs... Can I some how put in codecs for them?
(2) Can people easily get their movies to FLV format? Is this an issue for people?
I don't want to make it complicated for them to put things on my site. I would like them to be able to upload movies with ease and obviously not make things too complicated for them. I want to make it as user friendly as possible.

I am using flex to generate a lexical analyser for a custom language. The problem I am having is that as soon as I find a misformed token... I have no way to tell what other tokens follow this one. e.g.[code]Here, the stream of tokens will be id,<,>,id,<;>...... the language specifies that each token be seperated by a whitespace. So seeing a v after 1 should produce an error and the scanner has to print that error. After that, there are more legal tokens and another illegal token (~return). How do I process the rest of the legal tokens and print the second error.I am using flex as the scanner generator. When I find that none of the regular expressions for the lexeme matches, I call an error routine that prints the appropriate message.How do I resume processing after calling this routine?

I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4. According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, [URL] available formts include EPS and AI. As far as AI is concerned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear. If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page. As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP. My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.
I'm loading external logo into my SWF with following code: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("logo.swf");var logoloader:Loader = new Loader();logoloader.load(request);addChild(logoloader);logoloader.x = 5;logoloader.y = 5; Everything works fine as long as I have logo.swf in right place. Is there an easy way to improve that code so that it wouldn't matter if there is logo.swf, logo.png or logo.jpg as long as one of those files exists in right place? I just would like to give my clients change to use other formats than SWF if they like, because some of them doesn't have flash or any other software with SWF exporting capability. all of them have Photoshop or some other Image software....
