Our creative team produces SWF animations in the Flash CS5 authoring tool that we (the engineers) load at runtime into a project built using the Flex SDK. Animations that don't use the "3D rotation tool" work just fine.
Animations that use the 3D rotation tool give the following behavior:
MovieClips that have 3D tweens applied using the 3D rotation tool show up in the top-left corner of the stage as if they had no transform at all (i.e. as if their Matrix3D was being ignored, and their Matrix was identity) MovieClips that have normal 2D tweens animate properly Alpha and other non-affine properties tween properly
Both 3D and non-3D animations play fine when loaded by themselves in a browser tab or the standalone flash player. 3D is only broken when loaded into our code generated SWF.
So it seems that for MovieClips with 3D transformations applied in the CS5 authoring environment, those transformations aren't being applied / respected when the SWF is loaded by our code SWF.
This is my first foray into 3D, so I'm not sure what could be causing this, but here's what I've tested / checked / tried, all to no avail:
I've ensured that actionscript 3 and Flash Player 10 / 10.1 is selected in the authoring environment. I've tried loading animations into code SWFs built using Flex 4.1, 4.5, and 4.6 at Flash player versions 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11 I've applied Matrix3D to the containers that load the SWF animations, both identity and rotated. I can see the rotated containers do work with 3D in perspective, so I know that my code SWF is 3D capable.

Is there a way to have Dynamic Text non-selectable and not have a white background? Such as a transparent background?I'm looking to dynamically change text over a coloured background.

I found if I make the text selectable, the SWF ignores format such as bullet points indention, spacing between paragraphs. How can I keep both?

I have 6 variables that load into 6 different dynamic text boxes. They all load fine when I load them, but only the first one updates after 6 seconds. I have them all set to update after 6 seconds. Here is the code that is working fine followed by the code that isn't. I'm using CS5.5
1st Box that works fine:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.text = this.myVariable;
};

Recently downloaded Powerflash (FDT) to compare with Flash Builder, but it doesn't seem to cleverly colour the MXML code, nor provide me with predictive text. Is that only for action script files?

I have a text input box on a site i'm currently building. Problem is, when testing it, some letters don't register as being pressed (and no, its not my keyboard before you ask hehe).
The letters which don't show up are, "B,C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,Q,T,U,V,X,Y,Z". In fact, the only letters that are recognized and displayed when I type into it are: "A,D,O,P,R,S,W".

I searched and searched.Anyway, I have a swf sitting in a layer above html text. It's set to wmode transparent, and looks fine. it stays small until rolled over, then the buttons slid out as expected. However, when the swf buttons are still hiding, the html text in the area that the swf buttons will eventually occupy is not selectable when directly clicked.

I'm working on a project where I add a text field as a child to a sprite on the stage.
Even though I make it selectable and it's text field type "TextFieldType.INPUT", I still can't select it.

my selectable dynamic text that is generated in xml, I need to change the color of the highlight. When I highlight the text the highlight is gray close to my text color, the result is my text could not be read. I want to change the color of my text and the highlight color when I highlight my text.

is it possible to change the Highlight colour of dynamic selectable text. I have white text on a black background and the default colour of the hightlight colour is also black so it doesn't look like anything is selected when it actually is

I wrote a huge post first but thought I shouldn't drop a wall of text here. Here's a summary of a problem that I'm hoping you all can provide some insight in:I have a web app for a client which uses Flash text engine api (not TLF) to layout some text in a report.The text requirements are specific so we like using FTE for typography.Now that the text is looking perfect to the client, how do I make what I'm seeing on screen into a pdf that looks identical?Tried purepdf or alivepdf sprite->bitmap->pdf approach... terrible results - we need resolution independenceLooked at purepdf api - doesn't seem to be a way of converting the final sprite output directly to the pdf.... seems like it'll require me to use their own API for typesetting / layout... which defeats the purpose of using FTE to do this (we'd lose kerning / ligatures etc that way?)Finally using the flash -> print -> using postscript driver like pdfconverter or cutepdf -> pdf ........ this is great because the pdf looks exactly like display and is vector-output (res-independent), BUTUsing FTE, the pdf created this way doesn't have selectable text in pdf! flash TextFields -> pdf do retain selectability. Basically pdfconverter doesn't embed the fonts in the pdf when FTE is used... it DOES embed the fonts in a pdf made the same way with same fonts in MS Word or something

- I have a web app for a client which uses Flash text engine api (not TLF) to layout some text in a report. The text requirements are specific so we like using FTE for typography. Now that the text is looking perfect to the client, how do I make what I'm seeing on screen into a pdf that looks identical?
- Tried purepdf or alivepdf sprite->bitmap->pdf approach... terrible results - we need resolution independence Looked at purepdf api - doesn't seem to be a way of converting the final sprite output directly to the pdf.... seems like it'll require me to use their own API for typesetting / layout... which defeats the purpose of using FTE to do this (we'd lose kerning / ligatures etc that way?) Finally using the flash -> print -> using postscript driver like pdfconverter or cutepdf -> pdf ........ this is great because the pdf looks exactly like display and is vector-output (res-independent), BUT Using FTE, the pdf created this way doesn't have selectable text in pdf! flash TextFields -> pdf do retain selectability. Basically pdfconverter doesn't embed the fonts in the pdf when FTE is used... it DOES embed the fonts in a pdf made the same way with same fonts in MS Word or something
1- How do I get the text to be selectable in the PDF created from FTE > postscript method
2- (If not that) - How can I create a PDF from flash where the PDF is identical to what I'm seeing on screen - basically doing a direct final-rendered-Sprite to PDF .... if there's a way to make that PDF manually, then maybe I can embed the fonts manually...
Some context:
- How we're using fonts - they're SWF's created from teh fonts using [embed] and embedAsCFF=true for use in FTE
- I thought of using FTE only for typesetting / layout - and when we get the TextLines, using the good old flash...TextField (which does become selectable in final pdf) .... but I cant do that because some of our textlines have several variations of font styles and inline (GraphicElement) images on the same line.... I think its impossible to detect all of those variation can create the appropriate number of textfields?

Alright so lets say I have a number of movieclips or text fields or something with instance names test1, test2, test3 and so forth. Now say I want to fill these text fields with text that I have in an array and I want to do this with a loop, how do I do this? What I'm really asking is if there is a way to use a variable in an instance name if you catch my drift.

I'm having trouble with dynamically assigning text to a dynamically created text field.
[Code]...
I've tried setting up the TextFormat and createTextField as a function that's called on the onRelease handler. I've tried dropping the whole frackin' code in the onRelease function for each button. Neither approach works. I've been digging around on the web, looking for answers, and nothing seems to solve my problem.

I have a code that creates 10 dynamic text fields, along the "y" axis, based on a loop.
What I want to happen is, for each text field that is created, i want the numbers to constantly change based on a timer (they'll all change at the same time, but to random numbers).
Right now, the code below changes the numbers, but keeps stacking the new numbers on top of the old...
Code:
Code:
var timer:Timer = new Timer(100,0);//called every Xms, repeated infinately (0);
timer.addEventListener (TimerEvent.TIMER, doNumber);
timer.start ();

I am making a movie quiz game, where a movie clip plays and the user must enter an answer into an Input Field.
My question is:
Can I write/include some actionscript that will allow the Enter/Answer button that I have coded to detect WHICH of my pool of 100 video questions is playing, so that I can assign the correct answer in the actionscript on my Enter/Answer button?
The Code: Frame 1 to load the .flvs randomly:
var videoArray:Array = new Array()
videoArray.push("question1.flv")
videoArray.push("question2.flv")
videoArray.push("question3.flv")
[Code]....
Something I can add to the code on my Enter button that will detect which random .flv is playing?
If not, is there a different logic I need to employ to create this? Perhaps creating independent swfs that contain the video and input field functions together? And if so, how/where will I establish a timer/scoring function?

Basically I want to get the text fields in my Flash translated. To achieve this, I have the translations in a XML file and all text fields are dynamic. I read the XML (dependent on a language calling parameter from the HTML) and set the text fields like:
this["text_1"].text = "Hello";
The "text_1" and "Hello" are of course retrieved from the XML and I use variables in my code.
Now to the problem: I can successfully set the text field, that is visible in the Frame 1 (where my script is executed), but setting text fields that appear later give me an error. Translated it means something like Null Pointer not accessible. So I assume, that the this["text_x"] can not be found.
Is there a way to access it without copying the script into each text element? I have also thought about events, e.g. when the text is shown the first time and I do the translation then (would have to cache the XML at startup then to save time), but didn't find anything.

I have a linked movieclip that contains two textfields.One of the textfields needs to have regular and bold text, so I thought I would use htmlText however it's only showing the regular font that I embedded?I made the textfield in Flash and called it "details".I also tried to make another textField in the symbol called, "invisi" and I set it not visible:invisi.visible = false;I embedded the BOLD version of the font in the invisi textfield, hoping this would make the "details" text field show the bold font...but no luck.

I've got a nice bit of code that allows me to dynamically add a dynamic text box to the stage, add text to it and control it's position and formatting:
var txt:TextField = new TextField();txt.text= "feisty";txt.x=50;txt.y=50;var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();format.color = 0x2F55EA;format.font = "Arial";format.size = 18;txt.setTextFormat(format);stage.addChild(txt);
This just makes the word "feisty" appear on the movie.The problem is that I want to create many words with different positions,different starting times, make them go away and then have different words appear. It would look like this:[URL]The swf at the link was created with After Effects and the file size is 1.5 MB - too big for a web banner. I was told I could recreate the whole thing dynamically with actionscript and get file size way down. I've been working through various tutorials with little luck.
I have a list of 100 words, how do I turn the code above into a cloud of words that appear one or two at a time? I assume I will put the words into an array, but then how do I get the code above to cycle through the array and pick up the position and format attributes?

my client reports to me that some of the text is being clipped off in the text fields. I try to recreate the problem on my pc with chrome and firefox, but everything works fine. But he sends me screenshots from his mac with firefox, and sure enough they are being clipped. He claims its only fire-fox, and it is not a factor of window size. so here are the images to show whats going on:

I'm trying to populate a set of dynamic text fields with text using a for() loop and cant seem to get it to work.I have 9 seperate dynamic text boxes each labled picNum0 - picNum8. I want to read a number of pictures from an external file then have those numbers populate 1 through 9 into the text fields.I get the variables loaded in with the correct values but the text fields wont populate.[code]When I trace(curPic) inside the for(){} it outputs: picNum0 - picNum8, so I know that the variables are allocating ok, but dynamic text fields arent populating with the correct numbers.
