ActionScript 1/2 :: Line Breaks In Dynamic Text
Jun 22, 2009I'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?

Php :: Maintaining Line Breaks In Flash TLF Editable Field?
Oct 14, 2011I have a TLF editable field in a(n) swf file. Text entered there gets sent to a php page where everything is processed. I had the behavior set for multiline, but just realized that if someone hits return and keeps typing, no break is displayed (not even a space). I've tried using nl2br() in the php when it grabs the POST variable from flash, but that doesn't work. I don't know how flash handles the carriage return, so I don't know how to handle it on the php side either.

IDE :: Dynamic Text Field Display Continuously, Without A Line Break?
Jun 22, 2009I 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?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Displaying Dynamic Textfields With AddChild - Line Breaks?
Jun 5, 2009At the moment, everything is output to stage in one big clump. But I can't figure how to make each text field display on separate lines. Messing with the y value doesn't seem to do the trick nor do line breaks in the XML.
Code:
var dtxt:TextField;
for (var i:uint = 0; i < occID.length(); i++) {
dtxt = new TextField();
[Code]....
The purpose of this code is to create a dynamic textfield or a movieclip with values from an XML file to be added to stage as options in a drop down menu. Putting them in a text field or movie clip would allow me apply mouse events, etc. I'm a novice coder and so I'm just trying to feel out the best way I can handle it at the moment!
ActionScript 1/2 :: Limit On Line Breaks In Dynamic String Variables ?
Sep 7, 2010I have a scroller window in my Flash file which uses a Dynamic string variable fed by a text.html file containing my variable &about_readmore_txt2 After running some tests with the text.html file, I noticed that after a certain number of line breaks (either entered by a "RETURN" or a <br />) the final text rendered when the Flash is played becomes erratic. It only displays a portion of the text in the middle of the scrolling window.The tests have been run using both options : Rendered as html and not. My tests also shows that this behavior is line breaks related (I shrank the content of the variable down to a point where everything comes back to normal and then, if I add another line break, it starts behaving erraticly again

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Line Breaks To Text Fields?
Jun 11, 2009I have a string (from xml) I want to display on stage. Currently I have a text field that I am simply assigning the text to (no problems) but I want to add line breaks at certain points.after reading this line:
"If the text includes a line break (for example, "
" or "
"), the bottom is also resized to fit the next line of text."
found here: [URL]
I got the impression that I could add a string to text with a line break in it? If I try and add it to my xml file it simply writes it out as normal characters.
I am fairly sure I can do it by showing as HTML but was wondering if there was another way ?

ActionScript 3.0 :: HTML Text And Embedded Fonts - Line Breaks Ignored
Aug 20, 2008When using a StyleSheet with html text in a dynamic textfield with embedded fonts line breaks are ignored. It is as if TextField.condenseWhite is being set to true. Essentially the <p> tags are being treated as a <br/> tag. If I don't embed fonts it works fine. Another weird thing is if I add an empty paragraph <p></p> between the first two paragraphs it makes any subsequent paragraph behave correctly.
E.g.
<p>first paragraph text here</p>
<p>second paragraph text here</p>
<p>third paragraph text here</p>
Displays as if there are <br/> between each one.
But
<p>first paragraph text here</p>
<p></p>
<p>second paragraph text here</p>
<p>third paragraph text here</p>
behaves correctly even for the third paragraph.
Here is the code I am working with (using XML as I am dynamically populating the textfield from XML). After reading [URL] I tried the same experiment using a TF drawn in the IDE, the results for each, even though the TextFields are essentially the same are totally different. Updated Code accordingly - just need a TF on stage, called "ideTextField" with font 'Arial'.
Flash :: TLF - Flowing Text Through Multiple Containers And Line Breaks?
Nov 20, 2010I'm using TLF to lay out a dictionary entry. It's working fairly well, but I need finer grained control of layout than I'm able to achieve through setting style properties on FlowElements, primarily for horizontal spacing and setting padding on SpanElements independently of their parents.
The solution that seems most promising is separating the various elements of the entry into separate containers and flowing the text through them by progressively adding new containers and ContainerControllers for each new element with size set to their content bounds so that the text will flow into each new container.
This ALMOST works, but the text will only flow correctly into the next container if an extra line break is inserted between the two sections of text that should go to different containers. Without the line break, the containers are sized correctly, but no text displays.
In these examples I've added borders to the container sprites so you can see where they're being drawn. Aside from the line break, the text is exactly the same. The syllable field is a SpanElement inside a ParagraphElement. The pronunciation label and text are separate SpanElements inside another ParagraphElement.
[Code]...
As you can see, the pronunciation doesn't show unless a line break is added after the text, but the alignment is then off. No combination of line breaks seems to align them correctly.
Any ideas? Are these bugs in TLF? Should I try a different method? I would really like to have all the text selectable as one unit, and I love the better rendering and control that TLF offers, but I also need the layout flexibility. I suppose it's possible that I could hack something together like this with line breaks and positioning offsets, but it certainly wouldn't be pretty (or maintainable).
ActionScript 2.0 :: HTML Text / Embed Fonts Line-breaks Ignored?
Jan 25, 2010I'm having a problem with my imported HTML text - basically when I switch on 'Embed fonts' for a text field, Flash will only ever render one line break, regardless of how many </p> <br /> or whatever other type of line-breaking tag you can imagine are present.What this means is that all my paragraphs are squashed up into one, with no double line-break after the closing </p> tag, as you'd expect.I've used html text with css before and normally experience the opposite problem, whereby whitespace linebreaks in the imported text are rendered, but this problem is a new one on me.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Multi-line Text Field Auto Line Break
Sep 26, 2007When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.

View 1 RepliesAS3 :: Setting A Dynamic Position For A Text Field Relative To Another Dynamic Text Field
Dec 8, 2010I'm creating an XML-driven pie chart in AS3 with 2 text boxes in each pie slice. Both text fields are dynamic in the sense that they are populated by the XML doc and then told where to place themselves in the AS3. I've got them both using the same x and y position to place themselves at the moment (which of course puts them right one top of each other), but I'd like to make one of the fields (which acts like a label or a title to the larger number and % text field) place itself in a particular spot around the other text field. The result I'm looking for is to have the smaller "title" text field appear approximately 5 pixels above and left-justified to the larger "percentage" field.
Anyway, here are two sections of code that I've currently got. The first chunk, for the Tags portion, sets the position for the "percentage" text field using a good old x and y method. The second chunk, for Titles, is setting the position for the smaller "title" text.
