I have a project that needs to take dynamic text and arc it. Similar to this: http:[url]...In this example, select a font then click create text item.At this point you can slide the meter to change the arc of the text. This is exactly what I need to do.My understanding of what needs to be done is I need to first break the letters of the text field into separate text fields, loop thru them then position and rotate each char to the desired arc. The problem is my trigonometry really bites. I have tried many tutorials and I have gotten similar results, mainly arcing text into a complete circle at different radiuses. But all I need to do is whats in the example, which is allowing the user to gradually arch the text.
View 0 RepliesI need to select the text copy and paste the text in to clipboard.. i am able to select the text and on right click i have provided the menu for copying the text... after selecting the text, i am clicking the copy text option in the menu.. but it is not pasting the text..
I am using the syntax:
System.setClipboard(text).
When you select text in a Text or Label or TextArea (or other) control in a Flex application, the selection is shown in white text on a black background. Always.
I have a request to change that — and it seems to be a simple enough thing to want — but I can't find a style (or property) anywhere that permits that. Any ideas out there about how to do this, or reasons why it definitively can't be done?
I have 5 movieclips on the stage. I also have a color picker. I would like for the user to click on the movieclip they want to change the color of. The color picker will change the color of the movie clip that the user has selected. Another feature that would be nice would be if the selected movieclip was highlighted or something so the user knows which one is selected. Anyone know if this can be done.

I have a list of street names. I need to get them into a listbox, so when you select one, a MovieClip (let's call it "my_mc1"), jumps to a marker on the map. Each marker has it's own coordinates ( x, y ) and InstanceName ("mr1" , "mr2", 'mr3' ...). So, I need a MovieClip that jumps to a point when a street is selected in a listbox.

I know this is an easy question but how do you select all text inside of an input box?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a page where the user enters their password, then confirms it, so of course their are two dynamic text boxes.
For the first text box, they enter keys on a keyboard and of course the text goes into the text field, like so.
myTextField_txt.appendText(myKeyPressedString);
Works fine.
However, I can't seem to figure out when they are done with the first password how to switch them to the second text field. Clicking on the area where the second dynamic text field is doesn't highlight it or give me a cursor.
We really want to do this on one page, not two. Is there some way to make the second field selectable to change the target for the keyboard?
This is the most frustrating program ever. No where can I find an answer. I've tried everything I've read on how to change text but I can never get the selection tool to select the text. Some say use the T tool but all that does is create a new white box over top of it to type new text in
The layer isn't locked and the closest I can get is a blue box around the button. Well it's not a button and in the library the icon is a movie clip. Its also in my "bitmaps" folder as and image? (tree icon) Does that matter? I'm begining to think this is a whole image?

View 1 RepliesI want to find a text in the particular text field when we enter a word in the find text field and click find button. I have the following objects on the stage.One big input text box (input_txt), one small text box (find_txt) and one button (find_btn) on the stage. I have written following code in action.[code]But it finds and selects only one word and stops. It is not finding another word if there is one more similar word.For example, if there are two words "story", it finds last entered word "story" in the input_txt and stops. I want to find and select all similar words one after another in the full text field as in the normal text program like notepad and word.

View 5 RepliesFor example, say I have 3 RichEditableText objects and I want to be able to highlight them all together:
<s:RichEditableText id="obj_one" width="100%" text="Click and start dragging the highlight here..." selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />
<s:RichEditableText id="obj_two" width="100%" text="Continue dragging the highlight through this one" selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />
<s:RichEditableText id="obj_three" width="100%" text="and keep going and finish highlighting them all right here" selectable="true" editable="false" fontSize="9" />
Is it even possible to make it so all three could be highlighted that way someone could Copy all three at once then past all the text somewhere? I should clarify, The reason they would be like this is because there they are in an itemRenderer so they would each be their own object in each line on the list. It would be nice though if the text could be highlighted and copied like it was all together though. Just imagine the way an end user would expect to be able to drag an highlight any other text in a standard html document to paste elsewhere.
I'm creating a text editor and I want users to be able to select only part of a textfield and change the color.The problem I'm running into is the ColorPicker gains focus (I'm guessing) and the textfield loses it's "selection."All examples of text editing show the entire textfield changing color.
View 1 Repliesok so i have drawn some letters up, this way i can have everything looking just the way i like. i was going to put it in as an image but then it hit me, what if i wanted the user to be able to select the text? so i wanted to ask if there was a way you could make it act like a textfield. i was thinking it finds the character value and gives a value of 1-26. 1 being a and 26 being z. then it adds the movieclip to stage, changes to the frame relying on that value i just mentioned and positions itself accordingly.but what i haven't thought of yet is how you'd make it selectable.
View 4 RepliesDeveloping APPs on IOS using Flex 4.6 I am displaying parsed epub files into stagewebview. It works fine on the device. However, when I try to add the annotation tool which (likes the ibook annotation), I can only select one single word!! I tried the "Game of Flex" which it did the same way as loading a web content into a stagewebview component, and it cannot have control to select more word as well. Therefore, I think its the current limitation (correct me if there is actually a way to do that in stagewebview) on the stagewebview. So, do you guys have other good ideas to display content as html without the limitation? like use other components, call JS? or use native object-c?

View 16 RepliesI'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons
for (j=1; j<holderArray.length; j++) {

I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.
