ActionScript 2.0 :: Vertical Position Of Text In A Textfield?
Nov 9, 2005
What I'm trying to do is to position the text in the top part of a combo box vertically. I need to make the height of the textfield section a minimum amount because of touchscreen considerations. It's taller than appropriate for the font size I've chosen.
I know how to reference the textField element of the combo box, so my actual question is can I position the text so that it is centered vertically in a textField? I've seen several of the formatting options, but just haven't stumbled across a setting that allows me to change the default "top justification" that textFields get for their text.

I have the following code:
Code:
this.createTextField ("imageText",2,95,0,390,96);
imageText.multiline = true;
imageText.wordWrap = true;[code].....
The problem:If I uncomment either of the imageText.embedFonts lines, my text will disappear... but the trace(imageText.text); will still return the correct contents. It's as though embedFonts causes the textField to disappear.Possibly related, (but maybe not), is the fact that the vertical positioning of the font is off. Even though I create the textField at Y = 0, the text writes somewhere around Y = 10. I suspect this is something else, but I thought I'd add it just in case.

Using textfields. I need vertical text, rotated so that you could read it from bottom up. I can do it with static textfields, but I need to change the content of the textfield, so I cant use static textfield class. What other options are there? I've heard something about embedding fonts does the trick. The thing with embedding the font....I read that if it works, it increases the swf size quite significantly. Atm I am using a very narrow text field with multiline so that one letter is on a separate line, but it doesnt look good and I need to change it.

Does the TextField class support automatic vertical centering of multiline text? Any way to control vertical alignment other than "flush top"?
It seems like it ought to, but if there is a method or property in the class that turns it on, I can't find it. (Maybe a case of not being able to see the trees for the forest, there's so much junk in there, plus the TextFormat...)

I am using a ScrollPane in my application(viz., instance name is: myScrollPane). When I view the contents of the ScrollPane, it shows them perfectly. My issue is: When I try to view data present inside the ScrollPane, if I move the Vertical-ScrollBar of the ScrollPane to middle(or somewhere from top to down) and then click on Submit button(viz., instance name is: submit_btn), then its Vertical ScrollPosition must be reset from middle(or any position where we leave it before) to top(or initial position). Hence, I need to move the Vertical ScrollPosition of ScrollPane to top (or) initial position. Everytime, I need to refresh the VerticalScrollBar Position when I click on the submit button. How to do it?

I need to have the position on the stage of the last "t".

I have text that loads into a dynamic text field that is on the stage. The movie clip("tile" in code below) in which the dynamic text field resides is placed on the stage via loop function.I can load the text from the xml file just fine.However, since each text field in loop autosizes, which is what I want, (in height only-width is fixed), I want the next text in the loop to load in a Y position based on the previous text box height including a "cushion" of my choosing. I'm very close, but can't seem to get the math right that is needed for the tiles Y position...
Here it is:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("faq.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoad, false, 0, true);
[code]....

I'm building a vertical portfolio viewer which uses the below code to create my gallery. I'm loading the data externally via xml (which loads fine, so no problems there). The data which loads is a set of separate .swf files all of different sizes in height. The only thing I can't do is position the newly created .swf file right underneath the last one in the array, based on the height of said last .swf file. The only way I can do it at the moment is per below, which duplicates my project clip (the clip which the .swf's load into) and places the next one right underneath the height of the actual project clip, not the height of the .swf being loaded into it. How I can target the height of the external .swfs, and position the next one in the array right underneath the last one, based on the height of that last .swf, (so if at anypoint in the future the height changed, it would psition itself correctly).
code:
// set up gallery...
setGallery = function () {
// Builds gallery projects menu based on XML Data...
for (i=0; i<total; ++i) {
// Build arrays...
image[i] = xmlNode.childNodes[i].attributes.Image;

Basically, my problem is that i've got 15 buttons labeled Channel 1 to Channel 15, but when the page first loads up, it skips down showing the very last button at the bottom, rather than the very first button at the top. The top button is off the screen.

i found i can get vertical dynamic text block by setting to vertical and then to dynamic. But, then it ends up being horizontal, and if inside a clip, only the letters over another item in clip show. Like veritcal text on a vertical bar gives only the 1 or 2 letters that fit across bar, rest truncated. i've tried embedding text to get this far, but still doesn't work 'all the way' i see online they talk about all scripting for dynamic, vertical text; is that necessary, or am i missing something??

How do you get a textfield to resize in the vertical direction? Basically I have text being dynamically loaded from PHP into a series of dynamically created text boxes. Each new text box is placed below the previous one to create a list.The problem is that in some text boxes there will be more text content than others. So rather than fix the textboxes height and end up with irregular gaps between each one. I need them to stretch and shrink individually.

Is there a way to control the vertical space between two HTML paragraphs, in an AS3 TextField?
I understand and have successfully applied CSS styles via AS3 and have also utilized the TextFormat class.
I am still unable to control the vertical space between a closing and an opening <p> tag: txt.htmlText = "<p>First paragraph here.</p><p>Second paragraph here.</p>"; The example above renders with the correct font and letter-spacing, but the space between paragraphs is either two-times too tall if txt.condenseWhite = false or it is too condensed if txt.condenseWhite = true.
Since only margin-left and margin-right are available CSS attributes in AS3, and not margin-top or margin-bottom, I am at a loss.

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.

Just to clarify, the way flash handles text fields on windows / cs4 is how I imagine it should be. I made the file on mac/CS3 however, and so when i said "ruins the alignment" I should have said "fixes the alignment problem, but breaks my alignment which was made to compensate for the problem I was experiencing."

I have created a basic symbol with dynamic text, so that I may have many of the same symbol and script the text that shows up on the symbol. When I have the text box in a horizontal orientation the text shows up in my animation but when I turn it into a vertical orientation my text does not show up. Unfortunately I need the symbols to have vertical text.

I have an Input Text area that users can edit and then submit. I need to be able to show, on screen, the cursor's current position as they type. I don't need to know where the mouse is but all work-arounds I've found so far can only tell me the mouse position. The font for the text is 'courier' or 'courier new' and the Input Text area is scrollable.

I was working on a keyboard project and I started wondering if there was a way to click a certain location within entered text in a TextField and have that be the new location where any backspaces or text entering will go from. Like in text documents. Anyone know how this can be gone about if it is possible? It's not a requirement but it's an interest of mine and searches didn't bring up any results.
