I have a text box that will be updated by my client. I want them to be able to include links in their text, but I really don't want to require my "not-so-computer-savy" client to have to remember to type this out everytime they need to add a link[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have made a simple button using static text. On the over state I have changed the colour of the text and in the properties inspector typed in the email commanAnyway the text becomes underlined and when I test the movie and mouseover the text jumps up a little and is not smooth.

View 2 RepliesHow do I underline dynamic text in Actionscript 2.0?
I tried wrapping the text with <u> and </u> but it didn't work, so I guess that's just for Actionscript 3.0.
I have created a RSS feed viewer, parsing the RSS feed with actionscript 3.0 and viewed on the stage in dynamic text boxes. The text in these dynamic boxes is scripted to link to web addresses contained in the RSS feeds in the same node as the text being displayed. So far so good. Now I need the text in these boxes to act as if they were HTML links and show an underline and color change when rolled over and clicked on.
View 3 RepliesI have just a simple code
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tlf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlf.x = 20;

and want the link underline to be removed and in best case format the line.
I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

I did a search and there seems to be many solutions by adding code, etc. I tried using the Line Tool to underline some text and it shows up fine on the stage but when I preview it, the line does not show up.
how to underline text for someone new to Flash?
I have an AS3 flash movie and each page is a new frame. On my pages are dynamic scrollable text boxes that I created with the text tool. I would like to be able to make a piece of text a link (ex. click here for prices) so that it will direct the view to another page (label). I cannot figure out how to do so.
View 2 RepliesSo if I want to imitate a link in as3, when I set
myFormat.underline = true;
the underline is directly underneath my text. Is there any way I can set the spacing of that underland?
I have some text in a Flex 3 application defined as follows
<mx:Text id="textbutton"
text="Link Text"
click="doSomething()"
[Code]....
It does not seem to work however as the text does not underline when I mouse over it.
Is there a way to do this purely through CSS or do I need to programmatically capture the mouse events and set the styles accordingly (seems like overkill)?
I use the setStyle("textDecoration", "underline"); for showing an underline on text hover. This works fine but the underline is touching the text itself. Is it possible to put some spacing between text and the underline?

I am very new to flash, but definitely not new to programming. Having a little trouble getting started, guess there is a steep learning curve... I want to make a simple rectangle with text in it, and on mouse over the text should be underlined.
I made a rectangle. I right clicked it and made it a symbol (button). I gave the button instance name "butt". I double clicked the button and added text. I made the text dynamic text and gave it the instance name "buttText". Then I got out of the symbol editor and went back to the main scene. In my first keyframe, I added this [code]...

I am trying to create a hyperlink to an external website within a dynamic text field. Basically, I need it to work like this: My text will read, "Here is an example. Click here to see a larger version." I need the "click here" part to be a hyperlink. But since I already have all of this text within a dynamic text field, I can't figure out how to make that one part of the text a hyperlink. I've searched online for an answer to this but can only find information on how to create a hyperlink from the entire text field or to add a button hyperlink. I don't want to do these things.

I am trying to link to link several buttons to a dynamic text box.I am trying to populate the dynamic text box with specific data called from an external text file by each button.
In other words:
Button 1 ---> text file1----->Dynamic Text Box

I have searched everywhere, but cannot seem to find anything specific.
Does anyone know of any tutorials I could try?
I think this is a relatively easy fix but I have looked around for the answer and have not been able to find it. I am using a dynamic scrollable html text box. I would like to add links. The only problem is that the double forward slashes (//) in http:[url]....makes the following text become a commment.I have a dynamic text box with an instance name of myText and in my AS layer I have:
Code:
myText.htmlText ="the text for this scrollable text box,
which is html formatted";
If I try to add a html link, obviously it doesn't work.The only workaround that I know of uses exteral .txt files.I would prefer to use those since I have not been able to get my scrolling bar with tweening to load properly with external .txt files.
