I want to populate a dynamic text box and then scroll this. Is there anyway of determining how large the text area's height needs to be given the width and the text I want to populate it with?
View 1 RepliesI've followed the tutorial on here on how load text from an XML file into a dynamic text box. I'd like to also automatically adjust the height of my text box based on the imported XML text
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.header = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.content1 = this.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
header.text = _root.header;

I am resizing a movie clips height automatically to match the height of some dynamic text that is displayed above it (will eventually be loading it from xml ). is there a way to keep a safe margin top and bottom? this is my code so far Text_Box_Graphic.height = Text_Box.height;

View 2 RepliesI'm creating a learning activity for one of our biology classes. The basis of the activity is to test students ability to transcribe and translate DNA into other sequences.I have a dynamic text field where the student would type in a 36 character sequence.
I already know that I can use an if statement to see if all 36 characters are correct. I was wondering if there was a way to individually check each letter the student typed in is the correct one for that line. So if UUAACCGG is the correct answer, I want flash to check and see if the third character is indeed A or not.I know I can do this with 36 individual text boxes, but I was kind of hoping to get away with just one big text box.

I want to implement paging in a spark text area. For that I want to find out the number of lines a spark textArea can hold before the scrollbars appear and just feed that much lines to the text area.

View 10 RepliesI am trying to make a flash blog and basically I need to be able to load in text from an xml file into the different text fields I have setup and then I need to read the height of the loaded text so I can position the next post correctly below it.
Code:
blog_xml = new XML();
blog_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
blog_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[Code].....
This code returns the height of the text field BEFORE the xml text is added, how to make this script wait until after it is added.

how to change the height of the stage dynamically, with ActionScript. Is there a way to change the height of the stage with a pixel value? I don't want to scale down the whole movie just make the stage bigger, just like when you change it manually in Modify-Document.
View 9 Repliesis it possible to dynamically change the height of the stage?I am using 'dimensions: pixels', and 'noscale' as publish settings. What I would like to do is, when the height of a movieclip gets bigger (because of its dynamically loaded content), to make the 'stage.height' bigger too, so you can scroll more downwards.
I know stage.height is read-only, but it would be nice to have just the right amount of space at the bottom of the page, depending on how high the movieclips are. Reading back, I wonder if i state my question clear, hopefully I use the right terminology.so if stage.height would work i would like to do something like:
Code:
stage.height= MC._y+ MC._height +30;
I want to change the height and width of an object (specifically doubling it) after an interval of 2 seconds until the height and width of the object reach over 100. I've made two different scripts to try to make this possible.

how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
Stage.height = 250;
Stage.width = 250;
during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging.

View 1 RepliesI have a panel inside which I have a datagrid and a button. The functionality is that when I click the button, an row gets added to the data grid. I have described the pane height and width in %. But as the number of rows in the data grid increase, due to fixed panel height, a scroll bar appears in the data grid. But I want the panel height to increase dynamically as I increase the data grid rows.This is my flex code:

In my Flex application, I've got a component that extends UIComponent where I'm loading images at runtime and try to display them. I've tried lots of different approaches (using beginBitmapFill(), using different containers), but I can't get things to work as I want. The problem seems to be related to the width and height properties of the image, which aren't updated correctly.The idea is:
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
var im:Image = new Image();[code].....
The image's width and height doesn't seem to be correct when it's loaded. I get width==0 (and nothing is displayed), but the property $width seems to be correct. How can I assure that width and height of the loaded image is updated?

View 4 RepliesI keep feeling like this is just a case of not RTFM hard enough, but I'm just not seeing the answer. Is there a way to use AS3 to dynamically set leading in a dynanmic text field?I've found the getLineMetrics function, which returns a TextLineMetrics instance. This instance can tell me what my leading already is, but when I try to change the value I see nothing change onscreen. Likewise, I don't see any setLineMetrics function to go along with the text field. Is there just no way to change it?

I'm trying to build a text input field with a fixed width, multiline. So when you type and the input is more than the available space, the field increases in height... similar behavior to blogs and other html forms recently.
I was hoping there was some easy method or property to make this change, but if not, then does the text input throw some event when the text exceeds the width?
I am trying to test it. I am loading swf's into movie clip with XML stacking each other vertically. I found out that after movie clip is reached the height of 65000 px the other loaded swfs will not be loaded correctly. They are loaded from the 0 point again overlap previously loaded swfs.
