this.textScroll.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 255, 200);
textScroll.my_txt.multiline = true;
textScroll.my_txt.html = true;

View 2 RepliesI created an multiline TLF editable text field in my fla file. How can I format different alignments and font size for different lines in the same text field?
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text box that holds text and shows images using the <img> tag.all works fine - however...... <br> or <p> will not put the next lines of text under the image... you have to keep adding them until there are enough

I am trying to keep the format of a text that I wrote in word and/or InDesign CS4 while using a dynamic text (multiline) field.[code]...
View 4 RepliesI have a textfield that is dynamicly created which contains some text and has a textformat applied to it, which works fine, and I have my happy little text field.
the problem comes when I try to change the text and textformat after an event. I am doing it as so:
Code:
targ.getChildAt(2).setTextFormat(WoodTxtFmt.contentTitleSel)
targ.getChildAt(2).text = "back"
then the text becomes invisible. I know it is changed because once I rollover the container movieclip, the text appears.
I tried to dispatch a rollover event after I change the text, but no dice.
Forgive me if this is an obvious one but it has me a bit confused. I have the following sample:
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;

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;
function updateIt(event:MouseEvent):void{

I am basically creating a new text field for every number, i though 10. And I want to apply Text format to each and every text field so that I can tell it which font I want to use and yada yada.

I am trying to create a TextField, set its type property to "input," set its format via the TextFormat object, and allow the user to add a label to a movieclip.
Assume you have a button named b_add, and you assign it this code on the main timeline:
Code:
_root.b_add.onRelease = function () {_root.createTextField("myLabel", 10, -38, -15, 76, 29.7);
_root.myLabel.type = "input";
_root.myLabel.text = "insert label";
_root.myLabel.wordWrap = true;
[Code]...
The TextField that gets created loses all of its formatting once the user starts typing. It reverts to Time New Roman and doesn't wrap. Do I have something out of order? Should I approach the problem with another solution?
I'm not sure if I should format all the text using Stylesheets or Textformat.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to prevent Flash from removing the applied textFormat style whenever a textField.text value is redefined?
View 5 RepliesBasically what I have is a dynamic text field that gets text into it from an external file using loadVars(). I have got every single HTML tag to work, except for the one I really need, which is the tabstops attribute of the <textformat> tag.The content I have is like so:

<textformat tabstops='[50,100]'>Damn stupid tabstops doesn't work.</textformat>

I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)
View 3 RepliesI've been struggling with this problem for a while:I have a string containing HTML and I'm using a regular expression to get the characters between the tags. I'm then attempting to apply a TextFormat to those characters.The problem is that I'm using the TextField's "htmlText" property instead of it's "text" property (because I don't want the HTML tags to be visible). So, the character index that's returned from the regular expression is incorrect, when I apply the TextFormat.Here is some sample code which illustrates the problem:
var txt:String = "<b>Sample</b> string with bold text";
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
addChild(tf);

I am working on a large project that displays a fair amount of text.how to best handle the formatting of the text globally? what is the best way to handle the text formatting on a global level ? Through the TextFormat class, through style sheets, a combination of these two depending on the specific situation ?
Is it a best practice for large projects to use style sheets for all of the texts ? Implying that all texts must be written with tags.Using only style sheets seems like the best approach at this time to me but before going into coding this approach on a large scale in my project,
my code is correct, but anyhow, anyway my textformat does not work, examine follow codeDidnt see what i did wrong.
//SCROLLING SPEED
var scrolling_speed:int = 2;
//TEXT TO SCROLL

Im new to As3 and theres an issue thats driving me crazy. I need to know the name (or reference) of a TextFormat and I cant seem to do it.
Heres some of the code
ActionScript Code:
var f:TextFormat=tf.getTextFormat();
trace ("f.size"+f.size)
trace("****** "+f as String);
Basically I need to find the name of the textformat, which when I created i named like this:
ActionScript Code:
// for example "menuTextSmall"...
var nombreFormato:String = formatosXML.estilo[i].@nombre;
global.formatos[nombreFormato]=new TextFormat();
I have my formats in an xml file with name, attributes, etc. I can get the properties of the TextFormat but I dont know which TextFormat it actually is!!
I'm setting the style of a textfield selection like [code]...
I tried searching, but Google ignores brackets, so I can't search the output shown
I have an text field set as HTML and Im pulling in some text from XML and I can't figure out how to use textformat HTML tag with tabstops, here is XML:
ActionScript Code:
<![CDATA[<textformat>Name Surname Nickname</textformat>]]>
I want all to be separated like so(100px between Name & Surname and 150px between Surname & Nickname):
Name 100px Surname 150px Nickname.
How to do this? I guess I would have to do something like:
ActionScript Code:
<![CDATA[<textformat tabstops="100,150">Name Surname Nickname</textformat>]]>

This is a bit of code that lets the user click somewhere and type in some text. Everything in my code works except I can't seem to set the text format. It defaults to Times New Roman. Do I need to embed the fonts or something?
