ActionScript 2.0 :: Retaining Alignment + TextFormat?
Jun 19, 2007
I have a movie where the user is able to type text into an input text field. The textfield itself is set to be left-aligned, but I provide the users with 2 buttons for alignment... left-align and center-align buttons. I have it so that if they click on one of the buttons, it sets a variable that stores the alignment with the one desired, and then calls a function that contains all of the textFormat code to display the text with this latest change. That works fine, to an extent....
When the movie is first started, the text is left aligned (as it shoudl be since the text field is set that way)... and then if I type in some text and then hit the 'center' button, it centers it like it should. Now here is where the problem is: If I go to add in more text before what is already there, or select some of the text and begin typing, it immediately left-aligns the text again. It would be annoying for the user to have to hit re-center the text again..and to make things worse, I have it so that when each button is pushed, it shows an 'on-state' ... so when it automatically left-aligns the text, the 'center' button is still active.

I have a .doc file. I want to load the text from that file into Flash. So I convert it into a .txt using a website like this one: http:[url]..... I add in the little code at the beginning (myTextField=) and then Flash loads it fine. The only problem is any marked up text (italics, bold, underline) is lost. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Or for Flash to load text from something other than a .txt? Or to manually reinsert html tags to the .txt and get Flash to understand them? Or something else I'm not considering?

My text field correctly displays the text in the "PrimaryText.txt" file. The first line of the text shows like this: <b>Testing this text</b> instead of just showing up bold. And the "Render text as HTML" is checked.

I have two panels and a button nested within an hbox. I want the panels to appear side-by-side and the button to appear under both panels equi-distant from the sides of the hbox (i.e. in the center).Getting the panels side-by-side was easy, but how do I get the button below both panels and in the center. Currently, the button show up to the right of the second panel.

I just upgraded to CS4, and I'm trying to do a simple text-input/dynamic-text project. Here's everything in the project:
1. Input text box. Variable: "thisText". Text color: blue.
2. Dynamic text box. Variable: "intoThis".
3. Button called "button1".
And this is my ActionScript, applied to the first frame (not a symbol):
Code:
thisText="";
button1.onRelease = function () {
intoThis="before "+thisText+" after";
};
When I run it, I get my input text between "before" and "after", but the input text is still blue, and there's a line break between my input text and "after".
How do I stop it from saving the formatting of the input text and inserting a line break? I've done this in previous versions of Flash just fine, so I don't know what's going on here.
I've got it set up for Flash Player 10, ActionScript 2.

Is it possible to dynamically load a png (or psd) file at runtime and have access to it's layers as separate images within the program?
There are PNG encoder and decoder classes out there but as far as I'm aware they don't support layers.

I have a combobox and when selected i would like to show the data in an input text box. The text box appears on another frame and i was advised to make the combo box invisible after i used it and retain its presence on the timeline. I thought i would be able to duplicate the combobox i needed and place it on the frame with the input text box, but this didnt work, neither did duplicating the actions. Been trying for the last couple of hours and have hit a brick wall, hoping someone can point me in the general direction.

Ever needed to create an object hash, yet wanted to retain some array functionality such as .length, and getItemAt()? Well I wrote a handy little utility class, using Proxy, that does so. Simply use it in place of a generic Object, and it will maintain a count of it's properties, as well as allow you to reference any index you need [URL].

I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

My sample file can be viewed here: [URL]
I need the flash file aligned centre and middle.
I can easily do this using tables or divs using basic object embed code, BUT the problem is my preloader then doesnt work in IE if i use the basic embed code.
If i want my preloader to work in IE i have to use the publish code generated by flash cs4. The problem is i cannot align the file centre & middle no matter what i try. and tables and divs have no effect on this publish code whatsoever.
you can view source on that page to view the cs4 publish code.

Is there anyway to align imported images automatically to the top left of the stage?
I'm using File, Import, Import to Stage which works great for importing multiple images from a folder BUT if I have resized the stage at all (to fit the image size) they align with their top left corner in the centre of the stage.

Is it possible to control the alignment of images loaded into a UILoader ? My images are loaded in via XML. Most are are the size of the UILoader dimensions 960 x 482, but there are a handful which are portrait format and these are being aligned to the top left of the UILoader. I would like to center these instead.

I am new to Flash but have used Illustrator and InDesign for years. How to set the reference object by which all other objects are aligned; e.g. Illustrator ->select all objects then a second click on the reference object and all other objects take their cue. InDesign you lock the reference object and that determines the rest. In Flash it seems that either both objects move or the one that I wish to remain in position jumps rather than the other way around.

I keep asking myself why Flash is so simple when it comes to text layout and finally today I was thinking that that really can't be, considering Flash is meant to layout text in web sites. In my text field, I am looking to create a half return, so if I want space between two paragraphs, I don't have to use an empty return each time. Kind of like p padding in css. I also want to create a tab order in my text field, for better alignment of information. I am looking to create the look of two columns, where I have a date with a paragraph associated with it, with the paragraph being more then one line of the date, but staying indented. Lastly, and I am assuming this is a given, I would like the text to come from a xml or html file.

I am loading a MovieClip using MovieClipLoader. When the MovieClip starts playing, it changes the alignment of my stage to LT, which incorrectly repositions all the other objects on my stage.
Is there anyway for me to:
Prevent the MovieClip from changing the alignment of my stage? Adding an event handler to an appropriate event, so that I can reset the stage alignment when it gets changed?
I have already tried resetting the stage alignment on the onLoadInit event of MovieClipLoader and the onEnterFrame event of MovieClip, but both seem to reset the alignment too soon.

I am currently trying to figure out a circular alignment problem. so if you look at the following code, it works perfect without the positioning section. All the data is being loaded from a database and when the user clicks on the mc which houses this code in its second frame, it accesses the database and if there are more rows in the database whose owner column matches the name of the clip it will add more circles to the stage and then use other data received from the database to edit it such as its colour. But what I am also trying to do is align the newly added circles in a circular pattern around the mc (when clicked the mc will be centred on the stage.

I need a way to have an attached mc stay aligned with another mc that rotates (for AS 2.0). More specifically, I have a spaceship with several turrets that shoot at intervals, the problem comes when the spaceship rotates; how do I get the bullets (or whatever you want to call them) to appear at the correct x and y values when the spaceship rotates when the ship itself is asymetrical and has a registration point at its tip?

I'm making an array of clickable images, based on kirupas gallery tutorial.I want images in rows and columns. To show images in rows and columns i need to change the ._y and ._x coordinate everytime the image hits the end of the screen.....Here is the code:
Code:
tlistener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc) {
target_mc._x = (target_mc._width+1)*k;
if (target_mc._x > 400){
[code]....
When the image's x-coordinate is > than 400 the image should shift down (using ._y + 70), and the x-coordinate should be reset to zero to place the images right underneath another.BUT, when i set ._x to zero it stays at zero throughout the rest of the loop...
