I have a news page that I update with my stories. The info goes to a read.asp page that displays my info. I need to get the stories into a flash text field or box (anything really) so I can have the same news stories post. I can upload the file so you could look at it and tell me how to call the stories into flash.
View 1 RepliesI'm workin' on a cool project for school. I'm loading up some text from an external XML doc, and bringing it in to a flash textField.
It's working great, but I want to do a little formatting, first off, apply a bold tag or a bold font to some headings.
Here's the .text field as I have it now:
Actionscript Code:
motorcycleInfo.text = "Make: " + bikeMaker[evt.target.selectedIndex] + "
" + "MSRP: " + bikeCost[evt.target.selectedIndex] + "
" + "Ride Category: " + bikeCategory[evt.target.selectedIndex] + "
" + "Engine Size:
[Code]....
(ps I finally figured out how to wire up my mp3's so they play, and pause, I just haven't loaded that swf up to my server... so if you press the music buttons and they don't play, that's the reason.)
I have a load of objects with arrays in them.
var tabData0: Object = new Object();
tabData0.tab1 = new Object();
tabData0.tab1.names = new Array();
[Code]....
I want to combine this output with a few more to refer to my object / array. The remoteHolder contains the value I need to know which object (tabData0, tabData1, etc) to retrieve the info from.
tabHolder['btn' + i].titleHolder.titleField.htmlText = all['tab' + tab].names[(i-1)];
But get this:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property tab1 not found on String and there is no default value.
I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
I parse an xml file that his content is:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<operators>
<operator><name>OPerator1 </name></operator>
[Code].....
I display the name of operator in a TextField after parsing the xml file my problem is to loop through this different TextField with a fade effect.
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
I'm using the following to remove a textFeild from the stage I then need to add this textField back to the stage at a later time....i tried using addChild the problem is the text that was in the text field prior to the removal is still in the textfield when i re add it......How do i remove the textfield and replace it with a fresh textfield at a later time?....using msgTa.text =""; is not an option.
View 4 RepliesI just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
View 5 Repliesi would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
in as3 how do i get the text of a textfield to know when to line break according to the width of the textfield.

Attached is basically a recreation of the problem. What I'm basically trying to do is a tooltip window with 4 frames. Each frame has different textfields but also some the same. Like the "Weapon" frame has textfields called namebox, typebox, levelbox, and damagebox, while the "Armor" frame has namebox, typebox, levelbox, and defensebox.
In the attachment there is a Movieclip called awd on the stage. It has 2 keyframes in it called "Weapon" and "Drop" each with their own textfields but they are both called "box". I have a click event listener that makes awd go to its second frame and outputs the second child in awd, which will be the textfield. The problem is when I click the first time, awd goes to the second frame but it outputs null instead of Object TextField. When I click again it outputs Object TextField. If I trace the number of children it gives me 2. So I don't know how it can be null.
I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:
<XMLdata>
<Line>this is line 1</Line>
<Line>this is line 2</Line>
<Line>this is line 3</Line>
</XMLdata>
So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.
I have a numerical stepper,and a user can click on a textfield, then click the up and down arrows on the stepper to change the font size,i then try and set the focus back to the textfield and put the caret at the end of the textfield, but the stepper keeps focus anyway.Here is the event handler for when the stepper value is changed.Get the textfield's current format, change the size, set the new format, then focus on the textfield and set the caret position, but the caret just stays inside the stepper.
Code:
private function handleChangeTextSize(e:Event):void
{
var tField:TextField = Main.LAST_FOCUSED_OBJECT;[code]....
I've had problems with other components too with the exact same focus issue and the only solution i've ever come up with is to set a timeout for like 100 milliseconds to set the focus back then and it works. another way to do this without the "hack"?
What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.
Current development: [URL]
and code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

I have two text fields and the user can use a button to underline text in either field. I have a listener on each field that keeps tracks of the last clicked in field.
public function setLastActiveTextField(event:FocusEvent):void { lastTextActiveField=event.currentTarget; trace(lastTextActiveField.name); }
[Code]....
lastActiveTextField is defined as an Object. When the highlight button is hit, it reports the correct the range, but I can't figure out how to send the formatting to the actual textfield without setting up another if (lastActiveTextField.name==field2) control. Also, stage.focus won't work because the object isn't really on the stage, I guess. There has to be a way to refer to the textField object.
My scene has a TextField object. I set up my TextField as DynamicText because I need to change it programmatically.
How do I prevent mouse cursor change to I-Beam form when it's above TextField? Also, user of my flash application is able to select text of this TextField using mouse cursor. I would like to disable this behavoiur too.
Have an Input textfield and write e.g. 123 in it (This is on frame 1).Then later in frame 3 I want that number to be shown in a Dynamic textfield.How do I do that?

View 1 RepliesI am using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 but I can't find any output file (fx a xml file) that I can pull out info from and use on my website via a PHP or ASP script. It could be nice - in the website - to retrieve info like "online users attending", "running / streaming state" (online or offline) and other relevant info about the streaming, so I on the website can display how many that are online when a webtv event is streaming.
