ActionScript 2.0 :: Attach A StyleSheet To A TextField?
Nov 16, 2007
I am trying to attach a styleSheet to a textField. If I have a tag defined in the css file it will not show in the textField. all the other text is there just not the link (a {font-weight: bold;} is the only thing in my css file).
I tried adding a <p> tag to the text and the css - then all my text disappeared.I deleted everything out of the css file (while still attaching it to the textField in flash). and all my text showed including the link, which worked. But it naturally had no style.

I have a TextField which styleSheet i want to change at runtime.For testing I created a new .FLA put a Textfield on stage, set it to dynamic, named it mytxt and added some AS3:[code]Well nothing changed I still have a default black text when I publish the swf.My goals:
- Set a TextField in Flash IDE
- set the font, weight, color, size etc.
- apply a styleSheet containing colors for links

The tutorials for using CSS in Flash seem pretty straightforward, but for some reason they just don't work for me. I'm using this code:
Code:
this.createTextField("myText", 1, 100, 100, 300, 100);
myText.multiline = true;
myText.wordWrap = true;
myText.html = true;
[code]....
When I Debug>Variables, there is one line in particular that seems to be the key:
Variable _level0.myFormat = undefined

I've just discovered that using a stylesheet on an input textfield renders it uneditable. Does anyone one know of a work-around? Trying to build a text editor for a backend project, but it seems to have crashed before takeoff.

I did create a flash shoutbox (php & mysql) and its working like a charm...now i want to add smileys. users can press on a smiley to attach it to the message. i got the flash smileys in the library. i know its going to be hard to implement that feature into the shoutbox...my question is:wich is the best way to do this?For instance, let's say i want to display this string :"Now im very happy<SMI>: D</SMI>and now im not"when shoutbox message is loaded into flash, parse it to find the <SMI>: D</SMI> markup, then analyse it to know what smiley to display. Let's say i want to replace ": D" by an mc called "smi_laugh". Then split the string into three parts :"Now im very happy"<SMI>: D</SMI>"and now im not"then replace <SMI>: D</SMI> with the smiley instance from the library and put it all back into textbox.... new string = 1(txt) + 2 (smi_laugh_mc) + 3(txt)(whooaaa, lots of work but okay :-))

For instance, let's say I want to display this string :
"Now I am very happy<SMI>: D</SMI>and now I am not"
1. When shoutbox message is loaded into flash, parse it to find the <SMI>: D</SMI> markup, then analyze it to know what smiley to display. Let's say I want to replace ": D" by an mc called "smi_laugh". Then split the string into three parts :
"Now I am very happy"<SMI>: D</SMI>" and now I am not"then replace <SMI>: D</SMI> with the smiley instance from the library and put it all back into textbox....
new string = 1(txt) + 2 (smi_laugh_mc) + 3(txt)
2. Load the same stuff into flash and create a extra mc on top of the texfield and attach the smileys to it to display...fill the textfield with spaces to make spce for the smiley.

I am working on a large project that displays a fair amount of text.how to best handle the formatting of the text globally? what is the best way to handle the text formatting on a global level ? Through the TextFormat class, through style sheets, a combination of these two depending on the specific situation ?
Is it a best practice for large projects to use style sheets for all of the texts ? Implying that all texts must be written with tags.Using only style sheets seems like the best approach at this time to me but before going into coding this approach on a large scale in my project,

I don't know how to test this and I think I'm over thinking it, but here is the situation:Let's say I have a styleSheet that is assigned as a public static var of a Class.Then, in various other Classes, I'm dynamically creating TextFields and assigning their styleSheet property to the static styleSheet varI eventually remove those said TextFields from the DisplayObject they're on and delete all references. Even though they've been removed/cleared, are they retained in memory because they still contain reference to the static var styleSheet? i.e. should I be setting textField.styleSheet=null; before removing?

When I add a style to some text it seems to changed the textHeight even though there is not any extra characters in my text. When I do a test before adding the style its 16.9 height then after the style is added it goes to 31.9. why this is happening and if there is a way to stop this from happening.
Code:
label.fld.styleSheet = setCSS();
private function setCSS():StyleSheet {
var bold:Object = new Object();

I was wondering if this can be done? I want to format my content that's in an XML file, being loaded to a dynamic text box using AS3? I've been trying to do this and find any information on the this task. When I put everything together the XML file shows up in the dynamic text box without any styles being applied to it. (As if its ignoring it.)
Code:
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var cssRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("content.css");

I have some text fields which have to be displayed with a style I have previously loaded from a CSS document. There are two choices to choose from, but both have some hitch I cannot resolve by myself:
- If I decide to embed a font and use it along with the other CSS properties, I don't know how to associate this font to the text field, because if I do this: myTextField.embedFonts = true, no text is displayed.
- If I decide not to embed fonts, so that I use the CSS font-family property, I've checked that the text is not displayed the same way in different monitors: while in my PC it is displayed smooth and sharp, in another appears kind of jagged. Moreover the animations of non-embedded fonts are not the best option (the text must have an animation which includes a mix of fading and scale).

I have a text area, content_txt, that I load html with a stylesheet into using this code:
Code:
//code for loading CSS and text into swf;
function getRotatorStyles() {[code]....
The problem is that content_txt.maxscroll always returns 1, but I know from testing that the actual value is 121. content_txt.htmlText .maxscroll, content_txt.text.maxscroll, content_txt._text.maxscroll, all return undefined. How can I get an accurate value of maxscroll for this text area? I need it to get a custom scroll bar to work correctly.

I have a programmatically-generated text field that looks like this:
Code:
var tf:TextField=new TextField();
tf.styleSheet=styles;
tf.embedFonts=true;
tf.antiAliasType="advanced";
tf.selectable=false;
[Code]...
Has anyone else noticed this odd behavior? It's too distracting and unprofessional-looking to leave the way it is, but I'm not sure what my alternatives are if I want to include links in the text (which is imported from an XML file).
this is in Flash CS3. EDIT: If I don't embed the fonts, the "problem" goes away; however, I'm left with non-embedded fonts.

Is there a way of changing the styles of parts of a text using stylesheets, but without giving each part its own class? (Like you can do with setTextFormat by supplying the start and end character indexes). Or is there just another way of achieving the same result without using setTextFormat because you can't use it on a textfield that has a stylesheet applied to it?

HTML Code:

var myLabel:TextField = new TextField();
var labelText:String="<span class='defStyle'>Hello world.</span>";

I found this tutorial online to load a external stylesheet to then load some text content in your box. [URL]. I applied it to my site but its not working! My settings are as follows:
stylesheet = saved under styles/flashStyles.css
text = saved under text/aboutus.txt
Dynamic box = named aboutUs_text
Here is my code. The only thing I keep seeing is 'Could not load CSS stylesheet' when I preview my .swf or when I upload it to my server.
function getNewsStyles() {
aboutUs_text.text = "Getting news...";
// load stylesheet first, then get content (separate function)
var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
