Is there any tool, plugin or extension that can help me in text wrapping on a circular path in Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to wrap text around an image? Here is a link of what I would like to do with Flex, not HTML as in the example. Will it be possible to use the textFlow component like we tried here?
<s:TextArea width="100%" height="100%" editable="false">
<s:textFlow>
<s:TextFlow>

My sample is below. How do I code the below to have the text in the qoutes, wrap?
<item text = "Action Scripting Drag and Drop Ten Minute Tutorial" url = "" url_self = "1" />
</item>
Can I create a custom text box shape? Or parhaps create two text boxes and link them together so the text flows from the first to the second?
Or is there another way of doing it I haven't thought of?

Ive got a dynamic text box that loads different strings into it under the msgText var right, but the text is like 3 lines long sumtimes. So how can i implement sort of a word wrap kinda thing.

View 2 RepliesI've got a text field pulling XML and its CSS. The XML has a few long lines of text it uses as links. The links are long enough to word-wrap in the text field. Now, if you were to select the text, it would only select the words. However, the blank area to the right of the wrapping link is still an active hotspot for the link somehow. I wouldn't consider this a problem if clicking the blank area didn't return the text field to the top (it is scrolling text). It gets very distracting and hard to track where you are in the text.
View 3 RepliesWhen applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.
Does anyone know how to wrap a .mov file into a swf?
View 7 RepliesSo for a site I would like to have 2 swfs, mainContainer(just has preloader) and index(contains all assets)
This will allow me to have a nice, 0%-100% preloader.
However during development I will just be publishing index. So to start my chain of functions, I have my document class for index like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class index extends MovieClip
{
var path:MovieClip;
[Code].....
However, this will fail when index is loaded in to mainContainer, because the code gets run before I addChild on to the mainContainer displayObject.
So I need a way to detect whether index is loaded or not in another swf. How's that possible?? There doesnt seem to be an easy way.
I'm learning to build quizzes and tests dynamically in Flash CS3 using a combobox component to navigate between questions. Right now I have the combobox populate with the question number but I need it to say "Question" before the number (i.e., Question 1, Question 2, Question 3,...). Here is the code I have so far:
my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function ()
[Code]...
What I have so far is all my menu items get added to an array and they have a start y property. They are all evenly placed apart.I'm taking this is little steps so as a start I wanted to click on a menu item and just move it to the center of the menu and reposition the others.I have the mid point stored.So when I click the item I find out what index in the array the item is at and I find how many index positions away the item with the start y I want to move to is.I then go through every item in the array and tell it to look that many positions away, get the startY of the item there, and set it as its destination Y. In theory it seems sound to me but it completey does not work.the code I have so far is like this
Code:
private function rearrangeStartY($menuitem:MenuItem):void
{

I've got a infinite scroller (adjusted one of scotty's) and it's not wrapping around i.e there's a gap in the images, the last image kinda blinks at a certain point.I've attached the files, it's probably something quite simple but i cant see it.Here's the script:
Code:
spacing = 0;
containerMC._alpha = 100;

I'm trying to load text within a shape on the stage. The shape is a square with the left and right sides concaved. )( ...I'm not sure how to go about this...my text is loading externally from a .txt file, making me think that this is not possible.
View 1 RepliesI have a comboBox populated through XML. I want to transfer the selected item to a dynamic text field. After a few days and lots of hours... I cant figure this out.
I have added my comboBox to the stage via the component wondow. Would that be my issue? Would it be best to set it through AS3?
Here is my code..
ComboBox prompt:
Code:
item.colour.prompt = xmllist2[p].colours.colour[0];
XML:
Code:
<colours>

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
How can I validate there's a selected item in a ComboBox before saving? If there's no selected item, how can I set focus on the ComboBox?

Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.

if it's possible to make text wrap in the combobox component, and if so, how? I've searched this and other forums/sites but have had no luck with an answer either way. I'd like to combobox to stay a set width and therefore wrap text lines that are longer than the width. Currently it's just cutting off the text.
View 2 RepliesAny way to set the text that initially appears within a ComboBox without actually making it a selection? I have a ComboBox that initially starts out with one selection labeled "Select One". When you click on the ComboBox, the first selection in the list is "Select One". Is there a way to tell the ComboBox to just say "Select One" when it first hits the stage without making it editable?
View 3 RepliesI've got some sentences I need to put in a ComboBox as selections. They are much too long for the width of the box on the page. Is there a way to wrap the text in the ComboBox? I'm wondering if I need to put the text into a jpg or something and use that as the label.
View 3 RepliesI'm about as new to flash MX, how to write an action script that will allow me to change text with a button. However, I would like to be able to do it by a combo box. In other words, I would like to make it so that when you change the combo box to a different label, the text field will change to a different outside text file.
View 6 RepliesI have a custom class the extends ComboBox. In it I set the textField style to embed fonts and use a custom textFormat. If I put this into a flash file all by itself, it works fine. But as soon as I put it into my actual project, it no longer works. I can't figure out why!
I can't really upload the source, so I was just curious if anyone had ideas as to what I might try to get it to work.
I have created a font symbol in the library for the font I want and exported it. And as I said, it works fine in an empty flash file, just not in my actual project.
i have a straight, gradient line which extends from one end of the screen to the other.
what is the best (or only) approach for screen wrapping this line graphic, so that it appears to be moving?
my current "solution" is to draw the horizontal line at double the width of the screen and duplicate the gradient pattern for each half of the line. the line is center-registered and it's moved toward the right. once half of the line traverses the stage, the line is reset to it's starting point.
Is it possible to wrap a variable-length-arguments function in Actionscript?[code]but it didn't work since sprintf was called with just 1 extra argument, i.e. the Array args.
