ActionScript 2.0 :: Underlined Text Is Not Aligned Properly
Dec 21, 2009
I am trying to apply a new text format to my text field on a movie clip onRollOver. The new text format is properly/correctly applied when I moused over, and the main difference that is applied onRollOver is to have the text underlined. The only problem I'm having with this is that the actual underline itself appears to be about two pixels to the left of my text string so it looks like its not aligned properly with the text.[CODE]...
I want to design a registration form using only ActionScript, i have designed labels and text boxes but using label.x = "10" label.y="40" text.x = "50" text.y ="40"... to align correctly. But i want to design a layout such that all labels and text boxes will be aligned properly.
Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? I know you could make two instances of the text one with the line and one without and then have them switch on (rollOver) but is there an AS for it?
I have a TextField and I am trying to display embedded images using htmlText:
var test:TextField = new TextField(); test.multiline = true; test.wordWrap = true;[code]....
In this case the raftImg is in the Assets class. The problem is that the image does not align as it should (it always stays in upper left corner). If I load it using "../ blah/ img.gif" it works properly.
I am having a problem with my text alignment and I can't figure out a way to correct this. Unfortunately, I'm using a mac with CS3 and a Windows computer with CS4, so it could either be an OS difference, a version difference, or a software bug which I can't figure out.
For some reason, the text on my Mac with CS3 are not in the vertical center of the text fields. This causes a problem with my "align vertical centers" alignments, meaning I've had to do the alignment by hand to get it to look right. When I moved my file to my laptop to keep working on my project at home, I noticed that the text alignment was correct on my laptop, causing all of the text placement throughout my document to be off. This means that I can only work on the one computer and can't bring the project home to work through the weekends.
I have made an image showing the difference of how the text is aligned on the two versions, and a sample of how it affects my project when i bring it between computers.
I made the file on the mac (CS3) first, and so the alignment is designed to look correct on there. When i bring it to the PC (CS4) the text shifts down, placing it back in the center of the text boxes and ruining the alignment.
When I publish the file it keeps the formatting of each system. IE - publishing on the mac makes the final product look like it does on the mac, and publishing on the windows computer makes it look like it looks on the windows computer. The file published from the mac has the mac alignment on both computers, and the file published from the pc has the alignment of the pc on both computers.
I am having a problem with center aligned dynamic text (externaly loaded, css formatted,pixel fonts, embeded) I am using pixel font. I think the problem is not with the font. When I place the text box on the stage and manualy align it center - text is not blury.But since text is loaded from html and it is css formatted I have to center align it in my css file
I have a text box that is 100x100. How can I make the text start aligning along the bottom? So if I have 1 line of text its on the bottom of the text box, if I have 2 lines of text...its the bottom 2 lines of the text box, if i Have 5 lines of text...it takes up the whole box, starting from the top?
If I want to align things vertically in a container, I'll use verticalAlign="middle", but this doesn't exactly solve the problem of truly aligning text vertically. Text is always too high vertically, so in the past, I've just adjusted paddingTop and paddingBottom to compensate, but that doesn't work as the font for _sans differs from operating system to operating system.
Given the following layout code, you'll see the problem:
What happens is pretty clear. The horizontal line gets aligned to the exact middle of the box, but the text is offset by some arbitrary amount. I assume that this is because of the text baseline alignment or something. Is there a way to fix this regardless of the font size and face? I'd like to have the line essentially go right through the middle of the text, ignoring the extra space possibly needed for below the logical line of text (ie: ignore the bottom part of "g's" and "j's" when laying things out).
i am working in a flex application, i have an mx text control or I can use whatever control I need to do display the text value, but what I am trying to accomplish is to be able to format that text value with html 'before' it gets bound to the text control.<mx:Text text="{data.combinedCriteria}" width="99%">In the .as file that manipulates the combinedCriteria property of data,
When I use the code below the "!" never appears in the output text field. I tried removing nameInput.text and then the "!" will appear. But with nameInput.text in the code, any string I try to add after it does not appear.
This one is really strange. The last letter of all my text in the actions window gets cut-off by the next letter (or space) and it is making my script very difficult to read.
Just trying to get the text from my InputText TextArea component to append to my Dynamic text field DisplayText when I press enter. I'm getting weird skewed results.
I'm relatively new to Flash, and I�m in the process of creating a flash intro to my website. The problem is, whenever I preview one of my Mask layers by pressing Ctrl+Enter, the mask effect doesn�t work � it merely shows the masking object. The puzzling thing for me, which leads me to suggest that the mask should work is that in the normal timeline view, when I lock both the mask and masked layers and press Enter or slide through the frames � the effect works perfectly. On Ctrl+Enter all of my other Masks work fine as well - the one in question has text as the mask content.
It only stops working when I view it as an .swf file or play the movie with Ctrl+Enter. Does anyone know why this is happening, how I can get around it, or whether it will be a problem when published?
I've loaded and parsed some xhtml in my DataManager class that is validated against the W3C strict dtd.I'm pushing certian bits of this into public arrays in my DataManager. My ContentManager, calls to the DataManager, and is returned a corresponding data set ,instantiates a new GenericSection , and passes in the array as an argument in the constructor.[code]...
My prblem is I have a node that doesnt always have something in it. It is used for url's so i put an if statement but it still puts a message even if its blank. here are my codes to explain better:
I'm using as2 to place a text field with embedded fonts, whose content is coming in from xml inside of a cdata tag.When I publish the movie, all is well.When I upload the movie online, the commas in the text field appear backwards and the emdash is missing.The fonts otherwise appear to be embedded properly - it's displaying with the fonts I intended it to.Not sure why just these characters are changing online, but appear properly in the flash environment when I publish the movie?
In an attempt to use a dynamic text field on my page, and passing text to it such as..
question.text = "Sample text here"
..where the instance name of the dynamic text field is "question" ..I found that if I add another text box to the page as static text, but using the same font as the dynamic field, the dynamic field populates incorrectly.If I compile using CS4 it works fine, and if I break apart the static text in CS5 it works fine.I also found if I change the font of the static field to something other than that of the dynamic.. it works fine.However in further testing..if I place a second static text field on the page,the dynamic again breaks even if I use the different font as before.
All of these scenarios work fine in CS4, but in CS5 is causing my dynamic field to change to the same as my static text, or simply mixing letters and otherwise not displaying my dynamic text...I've tested on three systems here all with CS5 ...
I have a button that when clicked it displays a few lines of text. Some of the text is large, bold and some of it is normal and smaller size. The first time I click the button the text displays properly but if I click on it a second time then the text is messed up. I am new to flash and have tried several different things.
as you see in the swf you first have to switch with "aankomende optredens" en "gespeelde optredens" before you can read the aankomende optredens text... why? i just want it to load immediately, so you can read it... without having to read "undefined"
I have a form, with input text fields, and static text labels between each...
like this
(static) name (input) name (static) email (input) email
[code]....
then a submit button. on the right hand side of all of these fields.It seems that when I press tab, instead of cycling from one input text field to the next, and then ending with the highlight on the submit button, it keeps tabing up to the "Address" line of my browser.I'd rather it tabed through each of the text fields.
Code: optredens = new LoadVars(); optredens.load("optredens.txt"); optredens.onLoad = function(){
[code]...

I'm trying to update my text area via ActionScript code using this: scoreLabel.text = this.score.toString(); but it's not behaving correctly. When the score is 18, the text area displays just 1, when it's 26 it won't display anything at all... As a test, I tried doing this: scoreLabel.text = "this is a test"; and now the text area is just displaying e: [URL] This isn't a font issue, as I'm using Arial. What is going on here?
please look at this jpg its a screen shot of a standard flash doc on my comp - as you can see the page is aligned to the left and i don't know how to centre this in a page its frustrating because i cant bleed objects off the left of the page.
I'm pretty new to flash but recently got an assignment at college to produce a childrens game, I've been following a tutorial online to produce a jigsaw puzzle, so I can get use to actionscript and gain a little experience. I cant get some alignment right. I've followed this tutorial exactly and this is where i am stuck, below are the instructions and how it should look: This is how mine looks, as you can see its out of place:
I am using a scrollbar as demonstrated in OO scrollbar part 1 and have it working great, except that when you scroll the text, it seem to add a bunch of space at the end of the text field and then does not scroll back up to the top of the text field, but rather ends up in the middle.
Seems like it is somehow measuring the height of the text field at the wrong time? I would guess that it has the right height dimensions (due to the extra space at the bottom) but that it somehow is getting the wrong y coordinate. [code]...
I have on one file (player1.fla), a movie that plays MP3s from an array, which I specify in that movie. The code for that works just fine.I've duplicated the file and renamed it to a different one (player2.fla) so I could load the MP3s from a variable (array) on a text file. This way, to add more songs, all I would have to do is update the text file.
I changed the code around a tiny bit in the "player2.fla" file to accomodate for loading a text file, but nothing more.*My Problem* The text file loads properly and displays the Title of the mp3, but it won't play the mp3.The text file looks something like this: (just an example)
Code: &songs=song1.mp3, song2.mp3, song3.mp3 &songTitles=my song1, my newer song, the third song
My script is very similar to this: (shortened; just an example)
Code: lv = new LoadVars(); lv.onLoad = function() {[code]......
Is it possible to force movieclips to be aligned to the top of your swf? but not have them overlap, so they stack underneath? For example, i have 4 movie clips on my stage, the stage is 800px tall. the movie clips are about 150px tall. How through actionscripting how would i force them so that the top movieclip aligns to the top of the stage, and then the rest align directly under it? The 4 movieclips are also dynamically re-arrangeable. You can drag them into a different order.
