ActionScript 2.0 :: X And Y Spacing Of Dynamic List
Dec 30, 2004
I have a dynamic data being pulled in from a database using flash remoting. I am pulling these variables:
newsID, newstxt and newstitle
newsID
newstitle is a single line dynamic textbox
newstxt is a multiline dynamic textbox
I want to pull all the data from the news table and display it. This is what I am trying to do.
ID =1
Newstitle
Newstxt
*Need to set ID = 2 a certain amount of space from where newstxt textbox ends
ID =2
NewsTitle
Newstxt
Here is the code I have now.
getTitles_Result = function(rs){
cant = rs.getLength()
for(var i=0; i<cant; i++){
News.duplicateMovieClip("newslist", "newslist"+i, i)
[Code] .....
That the is just spacing a certain number. How do I change the code above to get what I need.

I'm trying to figure out a way to center dynamic text fields vertically after the text has been input. For instance, in some instances I would have a dynamic field with two lines, and I would want to center it between two other dynamic fields- but only after the text has been populated. Maybe a better way of explaining it would be changing the spacing of elements on a page so they're always equidistant from one another.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to vertically center dynamic text fields once they're loaded. For instance, some of my text fields are one line while others are 3 lines, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to space them between other text fields equally.

Im trying to build an rss reader, i've managed to parse the xml and get the content scrolling. I have 2 textfields inside a single movieclip for each news item, but what id like to do is position the movieclips on the y-axis releative to the height and y position of the preceding movieclip.
Code:
for (var i:uint=0; i<il.length(); i++) {
var holders_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();

I'm trying to space the numbers of my slideshow but i can't align exactly.
Looks how it displays: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10111213.
I need to get the exact textifield width and calculate when there are two numbers inside it.
Here comes the code
Code:
.
var btn:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var txt:TextField = new TextField();
var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[code]....
How Do I detect if there are two numbers inside the textfield?

Letter spacing doesn't seen to work for dynamic text fields in Flash. I use CS4 on Mac, player version 10.0.2. Does it also depend on the font that's used?

I have a dynamic text box, displaying the text from XML file, which is created dynamically.My issue is that the text is shown in double spacing, instead of single spacing.I've been researching this for hours, and one website discussing this issue as "when a user insert value from windows platform, flash translates line brake as double space." So, when I look at the XML file, there is only one

So I have a project where there are 5 dynamic text fields, and I thought it would be quite simple. Create a dynamic text field, and then load in the .xml content, and I had it complete. However, it turns out that spacing is quite important, so my method will not work, and I'm kind of stumped how to proceed.So the things highlighted in red represent the .xml nodes, and as the width (character count) of TEAM1 and TEAM2 change, the spacing needs to remain consistant, and the static elements (the "vs." and "|" need to move accordingly, and the TEAMLOCATIONS need to stay lined up as well..Does anyone have a good idea how to handle this, or a good tutorial they could point out? I'm trying to build my own array structure, and calculate the width of "TEAM1", but it's slow going..

I'm building a dynamic menu and am struggling to give the same distance to the text fields with different widths. When I turn on the "autoSize TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT" some text fields are overlapped, and, aligned when I turn off, but, they all get the same size (100px by default - dont know why), which makes the distance between them unequal.
Here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
// main timeline objectvar index:Object=this;// New Xml Objectvar fileXml:XML;// check how many menu items we have.var totalMenuItems:Number;// Main Menu Propertiesvar spacing:int=5;var menuItem_txt:TextField;// New URL Requestvar xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader(new

I have a multi-line dynamic text on the stage. When a large amount of text content (e.g 200 words) appear in the dynamic text (with newline/paragraph spacing), the space between the paragraphs are too large. How do I lessen the paragraph spacing?

I have done some research and am unable to find anyone who has any sample code on how to apply consistent spacing between movie clips that are different widths. Below is the code I have so far. I have set the inital x position to be the same as another object on the stage. What am I missing? I need another pair of eyes. I am disappointed that we can't access clips the same way as we did in ActionScript 2.0 where we could refer to the previous clip's x position or y position and adjust them accordingly. Bad Adobe for not documenting or giving examples on more complicated scenarios for real life work. example has to be in a for loop from AS 2:
ActionScript Code:
this["whichClip"+i+"_mc"].x = this["whichClip"+(i-1)+"_mc"].x+this["whichClip"+(i-1)+"_mc"].width;

I can't seem to control my letter spacing (kerning) in my dynamic text field. I gave the field an instance name of about_txt and I loaded the text from a text document. The text shows up fine but it is all bunched together. Here is my code:
Code:
var about_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about_txt.txt");
var about_1dr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(about_req);
about_1dr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function
onComplete(event:Event):void{
about_txt.text = event.target.data;
}var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.letterSpacing = 10
about_txt.setTextFormat(fmt);
No matter what value I put in for letterSpacing nothing seems to happen.

Using the tutorial for the Digital Clock I have created my own date viewer.However, because the text boxes are dynamic, I cannot edit the horizontal spacing of the font.I wish my date to look like the image below but as I cannot edit the horizonatal spacing, I cannot squeeze the letters together.

This component requires that you use Dynamic text, the Multiline behavior, and embed all fonts. There are 5 lines of copy on the banner. I need to make two of the lines of copy a larger font and also adjust line spacing on two of the lines. I can accomplish this using Static Text but cannot seem to get it to work in Dynamic Text. If I change the font size on selected text it changes ALL of the font sizes for everything within that text box.

I can't get the letterspacing property to function in a dynamic text box, I have tested it with color and it works just fine. just letterspacing. And I have embedded the font, so I know it isn't that. The code affecting the text box is this.
Code:
var txt_box0:TextField
var format1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format1.letterSpacing = 4
//trace(format1.letterSpacing)
txt_box0.setTextFormat(format1)
Those working with AS2 have had similar problems but managed to fix it by typing "setNewTextFormat", which has been phased out in AS3.
