Jun 19, 2006I'm trying to create rows of information in Flash using createTextField in a dynamically attached movieclip. I have the autoSize property set to "center" to account for varying lengths of text. However when I try to obtain the height of the current textbox so I can set the _y property of my next record, Flash doesn't seem to be recognizing the autoSize property and returns the same height for each record.
I added a second frame in the movieclip I'm attaching with a "trace(this._height)"... The correct height property is shown.
how I can get the height property right away after creating the textbox?

Oct 26, 2007I'm working with a flash program that dynamically creates a user-specified amount of text fields in an MC using the createTextField function. However, it seems only one of the text fields will show up.
I've done some testing, and I found that when you create multiple text fields in an MC using this method, only the most recent one shows up. Is there any way to avoid this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: CreateTextField In A MovieClip?
Jul 18, 2002I want to be able to create a text field on a movie clip that is already established. I can create a text field on the main flash window, but I am unable to create a text field on a movieclip on the flash window.My MovieClip is called Background with an instance name of myBackground. I try the following line among others I have tried:

ActionScript 2.0 :: CreateTextField Text Location?
Nov 1, 2004im using CreateTextField to get data from php, no problem there, but the placement of the text has be baffled.
here's what i got:
here.CreateTextField("t_txt", 1, 1, 1, 10, 10);
here.t_txt.Size = 12
what i WANT is to put the text in the top middle of the movie but no matter what i change in the number it just moves to strange places in different sizes and sometimes cut in half, heres a screenshot of current one.
also, one other thing, this number basically keeps track of people in a chatroom, how can i get flash to refresh itself every few seconds to ensure it has the latest number, just have 2 frames the same and loop them?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Textbox Using CreateTextField?
Jan 19, 2006If I create a textbox using createTextField, is there a way to make it an input field, instead of dynamic? Also, how can I put a border around it, like you can when you create them manually.
Is there a way of doing a division with a remainder instead of a decimal? The best I could think of was splitting the whole number and the decimal and then multiplying the decimal by whatever it was originally divided by. If that is the best way, how would I find the whole number, if I round it, it might go up instead of down, which I don't want.

Aug 3, 2006Im trying to create textfield inside my movieclip dynamically (at runtime). So I created a function called "CreateTextField()" which accepts parameters, including the "instanceName" and "txtValue".
Inside that function is a MovieClip.createTextField() function that takes the values and creates a textfield with the "instanceName" provided and assigns a value to the .text property of the textfield through "txtValue".
The code compiles. But it just doesnt want to show the textfield.

ActionScript 2.0 :: CreateTextField And Changing Text Color
Apr 13, 2007What I am trying to do is: have a dynamically created text field change color when i roll over a movieclip. This is what I have: a movie clip with this code:
Code:
this.createTextField("header", 99, 10, 10, 100, 300);
header.autoSize = true;
header.embedFonts = true;
var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.size = 50;
[Code] .....
The dynamically created textfield (lets call it "header") works fine. However, i cannot seem to get the text field to change color once you roll over the instances. I've tried using "
Code:
on (rollover) {
this.header.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;"
}
but no such luck....
ActionScript 2.0 :: CreateTextField + AutoSize = Infinite Width?
Jun 25, 2007Trying to accomplish the simplest thing ever.. with no success.I want to create a textfield (all scripted) with a specified width (420) and a varying height:
Code:
txt = this.createTextField("body_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 420, 0);
txt.multiline = true;
txt.autoSize = true;
txt.text = text from xml going here........;
This code changes the width.If I remove "autoSize", I see no text (as the height is "0"); WTF? How do I keep the width the same as what I've set, and modify the height?
