ActionScript 2.0 :: HtmlText Property Not Working?
Oct 28, 2006
I have a textfield on stage, and I gave it an instance name "iText". I even turrned on the "Render As HTML text" Icon and embeded the font that I used. Then in my actionscript on the keyframe I wrote:
iText.html = true;
iText.embedFonts = true;
iText.htmlText = "<b>WORKS!!!!</b>"
when I preview this, nothing show inside the text field, this is mind boggling, and I'm yet to know what is wrong here. I use Flash 8 by the way. The really strange thing is that when I do:
iText.htmlText = "WORKS!!!!"
the text shows up, but just with no html format, since I removed the bold tags, so something is wrong along the lines of those tags or something else I am not aware of.

I've got two questions; one about whether or not something is natively possible in Flash and another if there is a free or commercial component to fix the problem.I know CSS/HTML in textfields is one of the weak points of Flash, but I still would like to clear something up(couldn' find a definitive 'not possible'through google).I'm trying to display images from HTML/XML as block through CSS in a dynamic textField but can't seem to get it to work.I've tried too many variations to display one piece of code which fails, but it boils down to:
* I load XML in which headings, paragraphs and images(usually within a paragraph) are set.
* I load CSS (or generate with AS for that matter) which set's the properties of the various tags.
* Images always display inline even if just one single char fits beside it in the field. If nothing really fits beside the image,Flash still places text there which is then hidden from the reader. All attempts to have the image's display set to block fail. Also if I try
through a surrounding p-tag.
I tried all from XML.ignoreWiitespace,TextField.condenseWhite, adding p-, and br-tags. It just won't work.If there really is no (why not?!) possibility to have it done natively, does anyone know of a solution (paid or free) done previously?

There's an annoying bug in AIR (or in the TextArea component itself but showing up only in AIR) because of which, if you do:
my_textarea.htmlText=someLongText;
my_textarea.textField.scrollV=someValue;
the second instruction just does not work, and the textarea scrolls to the beginning (as a consequence of the first assignment). Has anyone else run into this and have you come up with any workaround?
This only happens in AIR, not FP, and only with TextArea, not with a plain input text.

I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?

I have a flex Text field that previously I was declaring and initializing as pure flex mxml. The htmlText field had an anchor tag in it that worked just fine. I'm declaring and initializing this Text field in an mx:script block, and the anchor tag no longer is recognized. Every other concievable tag work as before - <font, <u, and so on - but not <a. For example in the following:
txt1.htmlText = "<u><a href='http://www.google.com'>testing</a></u>";
the text is underlined but there is no link and the cursor doesn't change.
More maddening arbitrary b.s. from flex/as3.

I have a simple class which contains a TextField. The textfield is populated with data from an XML file.i am using the code:
txtField.htmlText = xmlElement.node.node.text();
txtField.setTextFormat(txtFmt);
If i don't use any HTML tags, it displays fine. But if I add tags, such as <a> or <b>, etc... the text within the tags does not display. For example, if in the XML text i have:
<node>For more information, <a href='
http://www.link.com'>Click
Here</a> to see the information.When I run the flash move, it displays:For more informationto see the information.If i remove the <a> tags, it displays fine.

When I used TextField to display a link, it doesn't work as I expected.here is the code I used:
Code: Select allpackage {
import flash.display.*;
public class TestCustomClass extends Sprite {[code]....
But there's nothing displayed. I don't know why.I looked up the handbook of AS, it said there's no "html" property of TextField, so I commented out.

There are some text fields dynamically added to a MovieClip. The text field's property such as text.type, backgroundColor, etc have been set for each text field dynamically created when clicked on the 'add emails' link.But I am having problem with the tabEnabled property of the text field. Inspite of setting the tabEnabled property to true it doesn't work. On pressing the tab key it highlights a component of the movieclip(to which text fields are dynamically added)'s parent.

I have generated several TextFields dynamically through a for loop. I would like all the text fields to have their alpha set to 0 so that each field can eventually fade in.
When I apply the alpha property by setting it to 0, or even .5 the text appears to still be at an alpha of 1. Does anyone know how to make the text appear with a low to 0 alpha?
I have attached the code from the function which runs the for loop to generate the text fields. Please not that the value of the text fields are stored in a global array, and the text format objects are also global and are declared in the main body of the class.

Currently one of our teams suffers from a very strange phenomena: after manipulating the z property of a MovieClip and changing the stage quality some event listeners of nested MovieClips seem to disappear (or at least not react to the proper events any longer).
The problem also only appears when doing both, changing the stage quality and manipulating the zproperty.
Here is a simple class demonstrating the issue:
package {
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.Graphics;

I have two Flash projects, an Intro (1 scene) and a Portfolio (5 scenes).I copied all layers from the Intro and created a new scene in the Portfolio file,and pasted the layers. All of my buttons work except for the button that brings me from the end of the Intro, into Portfolio.weirdly enough, this the same button that I use throughout the portfolio to bring me to the "Home" scene.When I remove this button, the error message goes away. Below is the action, and below the action is the error message.
BtnHome_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick18);function onClick18 (event:MouseEvent)

I'm trying to make a flash animation but I'm getting these two errors: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property enabled through a reference with static type Class. (line 4) 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class. (line 5) This is the code I'm using:
Code: Select allimport flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
stop();
buti.enabled;
buti.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pla);
function pla(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
My animation is a initial photo that turns around and becomes a black backgroud (were I'll add some text), now what I want is that the photo won't animate until I do a click in it. I used a Layer with a transparent image and converted it to a button and the export name is buti. The other to layers were converted to movie clips named preto and foto.

I'm using Flex 4. I'm trying to apply a embedded font in all Alert components of the application, to get the same style that all the app, of course. I code in my CSS file:
[Code]...
The font-family worked to all componentes, but not to the Alert component. In alert the text message and title got unvisible. If I change to other font-family it works correctly, just the embedded font doesn't work on Alert component. Anyone got this problem? Obs: The embedded font worked in all the app, just the Alert no.

Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

I have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"];
Rather than:
this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void
{
if(!isTokenable(property))
_tokenables[property] = true;
}
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String
{
_token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");

if I use an <img src='images/pic.jpg' /> within a text box that is using classic text, dynamic text as its settings, it has been assigned "render text as html" and has been set to multiline, it works great, that is when my image is in the top of the text area. When I move the image to the end of the scrolling text, it makes my text block larger to accommodate the text instead of making it just scroll more.
