ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Html-enabled Textfield And The Uiscrollbar Component?
Oct 4, 2008
I am having some trouble with a dynamic html-enabled textfield and the uiscrollbar component. I created a dynamic textfield on the stage, named it "mytext". Enable it for HTML and make it multiline. I added this action: mytext.htmlText="test<BR><BR>test<BR><BR>test" The html shows up just fine. I add a uiscrollbar to it. It is definitely targeted for "mytext". Now when I test it I get: _level0.mytext in the textbox instead. When I trace mytext.htmlText, I get the correct HTML but it just doesn't show up. When I shorten my content so that the UIscrollbar isn't necessary, the HTML is again displayed correctly. Now if I update the code to say instead:

I have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.

I have a window on my Flash stage that has some scrollable copy in it. The problem is, I can't seem to have any formatting for the text ... if I select a word or two to make bold, it all turns bold. I gather I need to use the "Display Text as HTML" checkbox and then paste in some HTML formatted text but this doesn't seem to work. I searched this forum and found that others were designating "htmlText" in Actionscript instead of just "text" ... that didn't work either. I probably just did it wrong, or maybe it's becuase I'm using the UI component "UIscrollBar" for it's scrolling of the text.
Is there anything else I need to do to be able to format some text with strong tags and maybe some href links?
I have my properties inspector with the following check marks:
Display as HTML
Multiline
Dynamic Text
selectable

I can use this code to make the text unselected but prevents me from scrolling.
Code:
textbox_txt.selectable = false;
How can i do it both unselected and scrollable for Dynamic Text Boxes with a UIScrollBar component?

I have a dynamic text field on stage bringing in text from a .txt file. pretty basic. scrollbar works fine with this setup.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("home_updates.txt"); loader.load(myRequest);
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textloaded);

how to write less than symbol "<" to a textfield that has htmlText? Basically I am working on a chat application and when the user puts this symbol to the input textfield and sends the message, the message appears in the chat window but only to the index of the <, nothing shows up after it (including the < symbol). I don't want to leave out this symbol from the message, it is crucial that it has to appear.

I would like to create a scrollbar for a dynamic textfield but do not want to use the common component. I found this script: [URL]. It seems very easy, but don't manage to have it work. And I don't understand how it manages the scrolling. it's only the 4 most essential lines I do not understand.

Simply as I can put it, I drag a Datefield component on stage and then create a dynamic text field on stage. I'm looking for the actionscript to make the selected date from the DateField also appear in the dynamic textfield.
I've found the script to do this for a numeric stepper
var my_nstep:mx.controls.NumericStepper;
var nstepListener:Object = new Object();
nstepListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object){
myText.text = evt_obj.target.value;
}
my_nstep.addEventListener("change", nstepListener);
I've tried modifying this script to work with the datefield but all I can get to happen is for the dynamic textfield to say "undefined."

i'm working on a game project and i got some trouble with displaying stuff in the game Launcher. everything is in AS3. I'm actually looking to achieve almost the same results as the World of Warcraft launcher with a news section. the way i think to work it is that i create either a textArea component or a textfield and display html page in it. This html page could contain text, image and flash SWF.
but here's the problem, textField and textArea component are very limited in displaying and formating HTML pages. So i don't know if i should continue to search and try developping this way or find another way for displaying dynamic stuff that can be easily updated.

The component itself works perfectly. I can create a scrollbox and the scrollbar and everything works perfectly..except that it somehow partially disables my other codes. I'm trying to create a small database in flash where I can store stuff and to quickly find what I'm looking for I made a Input Text field and added a code so that you could search for a keyframe label and then it would jump to that keyframe.The scrollbox disables the search function, although only partially! The button with the search code looks like this:[code]which means the scrollbar component somehow disables the Enter button! Weird. I know I should be content with at least the clicking working, but I'd really love to have a search where you can just simply press Enter for it to go to that keyframe.
Well, the problem didn't end there.When I try to delete the scrollbar and everything that made the search stop working, the enter button still won't work, even when I deleted all the faulty keyframes where I added the scrollbars! So I have to begin again from scratch to make it work.A scrollbox would really help me get more text into a keyframe, so I'd love to have it there. If someone can help me get this work, I'd be happy.I tried creating my own scrollbar. It works great, too, and it doesn't disable the search code. The problem is, that I made the scrollbox into a movie clip, and I need many scrollboxes with different texts, and I'd really hate to create a new scrollbox from scratch each time I need one with different text. Plus, I'll probably need 100+ scrollboxes so it'd take a while to make that many.Anyone know how you can duplicate a movie clip and then edit the duplicate without the original being edited? That annoys the hell out of me and I'd really love to be able to just duplicate my self-made scrollbox and edit the text on each one, because right now when I edit the text on the duplicate box it also edits it on the original one :/

I have a website I created in Flash (CS4 AS2), and on one page, I have a UIScrollBar component. It is linked to a text box, which loads text from an external .txt file. The page has a short pre-loader that plays while the page is loading; the page is not supposed to be shown until it's 100% loaded.
My problem is that when the page loads, the text is there, and there is a box where the scroll bar should go, but no scroll bar. The mouse wheel makes the page scroll as it should, but the bar itself is not visible or functional. If I navagate away and then return to the page, or reload the page, the bar displays as it should.

I am attempting to use the mouse wheel with the UIScrollBar as3 component. I know the MOUSE_WHEEL event does not work on a MAC, only PC. I would like the user to be able to scroll using the mousewheel and the content as well as the Scrollbar updates (on a PC). The main issue that I can't figure out is how to update the scrollbar.
Code:
Select all//mcBorder is the visible content area
//mcContainer is the content that should scroll
var sb:ScrollBar = new ScrollBar();
addChild(sb);
setScrollBar();
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, wheel_event);

I am trying to avoid having to unescape URL encoded XML nodes by using a CData node element. It is a hassle to URL encode the html to put into the XML which is then read into Flash.This is what I have so far:
Code:
//Create XML with HTML 1.0 tags
myXML = new XML('<![CDATA[<p>This is a paragraph<br><a href='http://www.amazon.com'><b><u>Link to Amazon</u></b></a></p>]]>');
//
//Create dynamic html textfield
[code]....
I know that Flash does not fully support CData, but I'm sure there has to be some workaround.I did try sending the XML toString() but that didn't change anything.
htmlXML=myXML.toString();//create var for conversion from xml to string
I want the textfield to render the HTML--not just display the tags.

I have a chat swf with one dynamic textfield that shows the typed text and one input textfield with an "ok" button. I'm using this code on the button:
Code:
on(release, keypress "enter") { //do something}
With this code after the typing, the user could just press the "enter" key to transfer the typed text to the dynamic textfield of the chat. It was everything working perfectly, the problem showed up when I added the UiScrollBar component to scroll the dynamic textfield. When I add the UiScrollBar to the library, the keypress "enter" event on the button stop working! If I delete the UiScrollBar component, keypress event start working again!

I have a sprite menu which populates a dynamic textfield with textlabels as users click individual items in the menu in addition to ordinary actions(gotoAndStop). As these labels appear in the textfield, I want to be able to link them to the frames assosciated with the menu - item frames. As you can understand from this, I am working with the timeline. By enabling html rendering of text in the textfield, I have been able to link these output labels via a a href - tag, but I am not able to call a function from this html. The function I am trying to call uses a switch statement to take the appropriate actions according to which label is being clicked, but the only effect I get is the html opening a browser window...... Unfortunately I do not know how to explain this any better, but here is my code for the following:

I'm attempting to attach Flash's UIScrollbar component to a movie clip so I can scroll graphics, pdf links and a series of flv files. I know how to attach the scrollbar to a dynamic text field (drag and drop) and have tried similar processes with the mc but no luck. I feel like it's not as simple as "drag and drop" and that the mc itself needs to have it's x and y's defined and then have script associated (note I'm using as3).

I created a UIScrollBar and linked it to a dynamic textfield. It works OK, but if I publish it and view it in the generated HTML file
(with flash player 9) it is not visible. If I view it in the standalone flash player it is fine.

We are building a flash website with cms at the back end, and we are allowing admin to put anchors inside a content. Later we created a smaller version of the whole content to display just a small part and then [read more] button. Which add a new layer on top of every thing acting like a popup and it is populated with complete content.
Now we would like to scroll that text inside popup to that portion which [read more] button was clicked.
The most common example inside HTMl is go to top link in footer on most of the sites which move the whole document to top.

We have a little app in use with a customer where html links are generated dynamically at run time. The link text and url are put together from a couple of txt files that the customer regularly goes in and edits. These links have recently stopped working.
Of course, you would think the immediate culprit is the customer who has made a mistake in the txt files. But the the same vars from the same files are used to generate a couple of buttons on the page that DO work. And everything works when I export it from flash. It stops working as soon as it gets to a web server.
Here is the output from the functions that piece together the input data:
[Code]....
And here is the link to the app: [URL]
Choose a category in any of the lists and then any of the subheaders that appear. Most have a link in them. It's in Swedish but I know you lot are smart enough to navigate a flash app without understanding what you're clicking on

I've noticed that an "out of the box" HDividedBox has some serious flickering issues when liveDragging is enabled, but only when the pointer is over the contents of the DividedBox while dragging. If you grab the BoxDivider and move the pointer off the component while dragging, the flicker goes away and the component renders properly.
I have tested this with both my customized component and an extremely basic HDividedBox implementation with Group, SkinnableContainer, and BoxContainer children as well as nested groups with clipping.All types of children exhibit the same behavior.
<mx:HDividedBox width="500" height="200" liveDragging="true">
<s:SkinnableContainer minWidth="0" backgroundColor="green" percentHeight="100"/>
<s:SkinnableContainer minWidth="0" backgroundColor="blue" percentHeight="100"/>[code3].....

If I'm loading images via the <img> tag in a dynamic text field and an IOError is thrown, what would I attach the event listener too? the text field?
I tried this...
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
textField.htmlText = "here is some text <img src='image.jpg'> and then some more";
textField.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IOError, function (e:Event):void {
trace("error caught")
