View 3 RepliesI have an input field with a variable that needs to be displayed within a dynamic text field. I have noticed that when I publish in Flash 8, there is a line break after the variable and I need to sentence to be continuous. This displays without the line break when I set the dynamic text field to "single line;" however, there is about a paragraph of text to be displayed so I need the text to be set to "multiline." For some odd reason, multiline displays a line break after the variable, whereas "single line" does not.
Here are my variable names -------------->>
Input Field variable name is "userName".
Dynamic text field variable name is "outputText".
The sentence to be displayed:
outputText = ""+userName+", and the sentence continues here for a paragraph and so on..."
How can I have the dynamic text field display continuously, without a line break?
found that code to display html format text to dynamic textfield in as3:
var url:String = "http://edeejay.dyndns.org:8000/currentsong?sid=1";

loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
You have dynamic text field which is set up to render text as HTML and you are loading in some text from xml. The goal is to display text like so with tab stops on one line:
[code]...
How to implement tabstops.I know that actionscript 3 supports HTML tag <textformat> with atribute tabstops. How to use them?
I made a scrollbar, but now I have a problem, need to read the number of lines of Dynamic text field and if it is greater than x show the scrollbar and hide if is less. Like this:
if(text.instance>7){
scrollbar._visible = true;
}
else{
scrollbar._visible = false;
}
My problem is how do I count the total lines of dynamic text field after load a external text.
Is there any way to make line breaks when you load text into a dynamic text box, other than using html? And if not, could someone give me an example of how to do it using html?

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic textfield being populated with an xml files' content. I then have a css stylesheet loaded into format the text. This all works great, but what doesn't work is the ability to bold some of the words in that text. I have both the regular and bold versions of the font embedded into the swf, I can test out just a bold block of text and it works fine. The css is also working as it will change the size of the text that I tell it to. Everything is working, but for some reason I am not able to get the bolder version of the font to display in the same text box as the regular one. I have also tried to change fonts but had the same outcome.

I've finally got XML information coming into my text field. Only problem now is that there for every line break in the text, Flash reads it as two line breaks, for example:
XML:
Line 1
Line 2
Flash:
Line 1
Line 2
I found that you can just use the <br> tag in the original text or if I'm using actionscript to input the text I can use or but what if I'm using text generated by a CMS which my client needs to be able to use?
I have a simple file that loads text dynamically inside a symbol.. How do I put line breaks in? My code is below. If I leave the text as is it skips a line inbetween.

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
Code:

I am trying to create a dynamic text field that loads data from an XML file. the XML file cannot contain html formatting, and the idea is that each word should be able to be on its own line. like:
Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.
Now, I've been told that the way they used to do this is that in the XML is formatted where they put all the words on their own lines. like:
<data name ="input">Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.</data>
when i try this, it seems to be double spacing everything.
I have created a line dynamically. The line can be moved and change sloop. I want a dynamic text to follow the line all the time.
View 0 RepliesMy dynamic text box won't show the last line of text, no matter how much or how little text I am feeding it. The text box has an instance name, set to render html, set to multiline.My code is getting the text into the box, but it keeps clipping the last line.
View 3 Repliesi just want to convert special characters in from MS Word to simple characters. So you copy and paste what you've written in MS Word into this swf... hit a button and it converts the special characters into plain ones... problem is that when i convert it, all the new lines from MS Word disappear...
so:
Hello there. How are you?
becomes:
Hello there.How are you?
It works if you actually press enter when you're in the static text box, but if you copy and paste it from MS Word it just doesn't work.
I have my Dynamic text box set to Multiline.
So i've thought of 2 options... either there is something else i have to tick or some little bit of coding i can add... or... maybe there is a way using the split and join function that i can add a new line where ever one has been added in MS Word, though i don't know if that would be possible...
it would need to go .split(" ??? ").join("
")
what would i use to identify the new line from the static text to convert it to the dynamic text?
I have a INPUT TEXT inside a mc called "txt mc" and DYNAMIC TEXT in the main time line.I'm trying to display what's typed in the INPUT TEXT (my_Input_Txt) in the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes (my_Dyn_Txt1, my_Dyn_Txt2, my_Dyn_Txt3).Here's the code. But it won't simply work perhaps because the INPUT TEXT is inside a MC. I need to have the INPUT TEXT INSIDE THAT MC while having the DYNAMIC TEXT boxes out in the main time line.
my_Input_Txt.onChanged = function() {
my_Dyn_Txt1.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt2.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
my_Dyn_Txt3.text = my_Input_Txt.text;
};
in my Flash movie (CS3) I want all text to be selectable. When I select 'static' and 'selectable', I have the following issues: Some of the text does not fit into the available (scrolling required to see the end of text) This is larger than when in Flash.

I have an XML with a node, let's say like this:Code:<ROW text="This is a line which needs to be broken right here /n to go on from the other line"></ROW>How can I break the line exactly where the /n is after I loaded this XML? Or how to change the XML to get this in the easiest way?

Is there a way to create a linebreak in a dynamic txt box. Something like this
HP Code:
line1="1st sentence";
line2="2nd sentence";
line3="Space space i'm in space!;";
linebreak= //however you do one
listbox.text = line1 + linebreak + line2 + line break + line3;
The output would be
1st sentence
2nd sentence

I am populating a dynamic text box with some xml elements that I am calling on. For example, I have two text fields and am filling them using
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester);
texttime.textname.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
How could I populate one dynamic text field using a combination of the two elements above? I'd also like to put a line break between the two elements.I tried something like this and could not figure it out
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester)+"/n "(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
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.
