how to limit the number of characters I get on a simple math function. The line of code I am working with is below. it sends the results entered in an input text box to a dynamic text box. How can I make it so no more than 4 characters show in the dynamic text box results?
Code:
result5 = ml * 1.666;
I am trying to limit then number of characters in a dynamic text box, but its just not working. I am loading the text from an external xml file and thought that this might be the problem, but to be honest it shouldnt be really... I have put this code inside the movie clip:
ActionScript Code:
this.title_mc.alpha = 0;
this.q_mc.alpha = 0;
this.a_mc.alpha = 0;

A have a big chunk of dynamic text (from a db). From this text i am making a .pdf. So i would like to limit the amount of outputted text as a page can run out of space.
I have tried to do it with search and replace. But the problem is that it counts only characters instead of characters in combination with whitespace and the number of lines.
There is space for 100 characters/spaces on each line, and a total of 38 lines on one page.
So i am thinking of something like this: * count all new lines represented by
* count all characters/whitespaces dived to the number of lines to check if this fits the number of (as it uses wordwap)
Anyone with bright ideas on how to approach this?
(btw. TextField.maxChars will not work as it's dynamic text...)

everything depends ( i think ) on callthumbs() function. Now its working ok - because the thumbs are displayed from last to first. It is because i want to display only newest thumbs. BUT i want to display limited number of them-only 3 last thumbs.
I've got a presentation that continually reads an XML and displays content based on that. It works fine for 2-3 hours then just stops. No errors, just stops.
What I'm doing is adding and removing eventListeners throughout the process using two alternative loader objects.
For example:
PHP Code:
slideLoader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadJPG, false, 0, true );
I started using the "weak" listener based on what I've been reading about garbage collection, but actually this works better:
PHP Code:
slideLoader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadJPG);
The presentation runs much longer with the second listener type. In both cases I'm removing it this way:
PHP Code:
slideLoader1.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadJPG);
Is there a problem constantly adding/removing eventListeners this way?
Is it possible to define a property to limit the number of elements which will appear in a mx:List ? I've read about setting the property rowCount, but I don't see any effect.Can a filter be applied to accomplish this? My intention was to avoid removing the items from the list/array collection, but simply "hide" them. Can this be done?

I wanted to know if there is any limit on the number of live streams that a client can connect to?For example, there are four live streams s1, s2, s3, s4 being published to FMS, can a flash client subscribe to all the four streams at the same time?If yes, what is the maximum number of streams that a client can subscribe to and what are the trade-offs?

View 2 RepliesI'm using a Repeater object in Flex. Would be possible to stop the repeater after 50 iterations.. even if my dataProvider is bigger ?

I have 5 Cairngorm Events that I am dispatching at the same time(one right after the other) - all of which call a separate HTTP Service. This works fine when I run the application locally however when I deploy my project to a Glassfish server, it only works intermittently, with the app hanging when it doesn't work.
My temporary work around to this is to chain some of the events together so less call are going out at once, but I don't really like this as a viable solution because it slows down performance.
Is there a maximum number of HTTPService requests that Flex can make at once before it hangs?

I have text from an RSS feed parsed using AS3 and displayed on the stage in a few dynamic text fields. Some of the text is too long and I would like to limit the text in the field to "x" amount of characters and insert an ellipses (...) character when that
limit is reached. Cannot seem to find any mention of it in the Adobe. Is there such a method or class that will do this?
Create a 12x9 grid;Populate the cells with random numbers ranging from 1-9;Assign a symbol (custom graphic) to each cell depending upon which random number is generated in it;Limit the amount of times each number in the random range is used to 12.My question is simply this: how do I, using AS3, create a random number function that will only use each number in its range a maximum of 12 times (it is important to note that my grid consists of 108 cells using the numbers 1-9 exactly 12 times each)? So for example, if the random number function populates 12 cells with the number "4," it will then exclude that number from its remaining iterations.I am adhering to OOP standards so including script in actual timeline frames is not desirable.
