ActionScript 2.0 :: Textformat Tabstops With Loading Dynamic Text?

Aug 25, 2010

Basically 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:

Code:
<textformat tabstops='[50,100]'>Damn stupid tabstops doesn't work.</textformat>
Which displays as:

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Use Textformat And Tabstops

Oct 6, 2009

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>]]>

IDE :: Textformat Tabstops And Bullets In Xml File?

According to the search there's never been a post that contains the word "tabstops" in the history of . I am honored to be the FIRST!Anyway, I am converting an application so that text content that was once trapped in the authoring environment will now reside in an external XML file.The problem i'm running into is that my "textformat tabstops" tags and bullets no longer work.In the content I had:

Code:
<textformat tabstops='[10]'><br><br><b><u>Blah blah blah</u></b><br> Blah blah blah<br> lah blah blah etc.</textformat>

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Loading, Dynamic Buttons, Dynamic Text Fields?

Jun 7, 2006

I can't get the code to "know" which of the dynamic thumbnails has been clicked (by "know", I mean return an index value, say 0 through 7 if there are 8 projects, that I can use to access that particular project in the array of 8 projects in the rest of the code)... So if the third movieclip thumbnail were clicked, I'd like "2" to come up somehow... I've tried this code, which is kind of lame, I know, based off of the idea of each of the thumbnail movieclips' names ending in their index number:

Code:
//"this" is the button that was pressed; would return a string ending in
//thumberMC_<number of whichever movieclip thumb was clicked>
var: testString:String = this;

[code]....

Lastly, there's a dynamic textfield I'm trying to create that never shows up for some reason. Again, you could see in the FLA (in the "createDrawer" function around line 424).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Text Disappears When Changing TextFormat Or Text?

Apr 24, 2009

I 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.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading New Dynamic Text From A Dynamic Text Box

Jan 28, 2004

I'm relatively new to Actionscript, in fact, I just figured out today how to load text from an external source. I have another issue that I'm not sure how to handle. I have buttons for my main nav, a main text box, and a mini text box (both text boxes are loaded dynamically from external files). I want to have the mini text box load new external text files in the main text box. For instance, I have a button for music, which loads a list of songs in the mini text box. I want to be able to click on the name of one of the songs and have it load the lyrics in the main text box. I'm sure it's simple, I'm just new.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Multiple Text Into Dynamic Text Field?

Feb 22, 2009

this is should be pretty simple but I have had a lot of trouble figuring this out..

I have one dynamic text field called "content_txt"
I have 3 buttons with 3 different instance names (btn1 btn2 btn3)
I have 3 text documents in a folder (1.txt 2.txt 3.txt)

I am able to have 1.txt loaded into content_txt, but here is the problem.

I would like btn2 to load 2.txt and btn3 to load 3.txt into content_txt.

I have looked for an answer for this problem (and found many close answers) but when I try and make my code fit, it just doesn't work. I'm really new to this so any help would be amazing. (or if this has been answered somewhere else and I have missed it..

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextFormat Changes With Text.length

Aug 27, 2011

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{

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Box That Is Loading In A Text File?

I have a dynamic text box that is loading in a text file. It seems to be doing this perfectly well. However, some HTML tags seem to break it. <b> makes the text dissapear. I tried doing a <span> on it, and changing the font-family with CSS, but I dont think its reading the CSS at all.

ActionScript 2.0 :: TextFormat And Input Text Fields?

Nov 24, 2004

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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField With CSS AND Tabstops

I have a textfield that is styled using an external CSS. My problem is that I also need to define tabstops within the textfield so that I can display some information in a three column list. The only way I know to do this is to create a new TextFormat object, define the tabstops, and apply it to the textfield. BUT, you can't do that and if there's already a CSS.

Regex :: Using Regular Expression And TextFormat To Style Text Between HTML Tags?

Mar 1, 2012

I'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);
