I know that the autoSize works fine for textfields (loading contents from a XML, for example), but and for movieclips? There's a way to set this?
View 6 RepliesI have two dynamic text fields on the stage. How can set the text to autoSize? I have this, but it's not working.
Code:
w.text.autoSize = true;
w.text = "100";
h.text.autoSize = true;
h.text = "100";
I've been banging my head against the wall, on something that should be straight forward..granted Im a novice at this....
I have a text field that is fed by an array of titles. The longer title are geting cuttoff in the field box, and Ive tried to autoscale.
I have a problem with the text on them.I want the text to wrap, autosize and be multiline - ie I want the button to be a certain width and if the text is longer for a particular button the button will be higher with the text going onto the next line.The wierd thing is that it worked, I went and made a cup of tea, came back and it was not working! Maybe the cat changed my code but I cannot see where.

I have a dynamic text field populated by xml which doesn't seem to like the autoSize property. The field populates correctly but doesn't auto size at all. The purpose of this text field is to inform the user of the url for an ad they can click on as they roll over it.
ActionScript Code:
popUpmc.popUpTxt.autoSize = true;
Setting autoSize while inside the XML onLoad() function and outside it made no difference. Please help, I'm sure I must be forgetting something? Does this have to be applied with a new text format or something?
I need help dynamically loading text from a server into a dynamic text box in my movie. If i use the loadVariables it works, with the Html rendering.. if i use it with loadVars it works but now the html doesn't render. What i want is to load some text from my server into the text box and have the html to render. Also, is there a way to display the progress as the text loads, for people with slower connections?

View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip, with a dynamic text inside.This movieclip is already on stage.I have found several solutions to this TextFieldAutoResize, however, most of them requires to create a new text before implementing TextFieldAutoResize.LEFT or right or center or .... etcIs there any method to apply auto resize on dynamic text which are already placed on stage?
View 8 RepliesI have text that loads into a dynamic text field that is on the stage. The movie clip("tile" in code below) in which the dynamic text field resides is placed on the stage via loop function.
I can load the text from the xml file just fine.However, since each text field in loop autosizes, which is what I want, (in height only-width is fixed), I want the next text in the loop to load in a Y position based on the previous text box height including a "cushion" of my choosing.
I'm very close, but can't seem to get the math right that is needed for the tiles Y position...I'm thinking this should be simple
Here it is:
Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("faq.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoad, false, 0, true);

I would like to load text dynamically form my server into my flash movie. That I know how to do. I have 2 frames on 1 layer.

But when I try the same thing within a movie clip, I have trouble getting the text to display. The text box pops up but no text from my content.txt file.
Im having trouble loading text dynamically into a "masked" movie...I followed two tutorials to do put this together...this one for dynamically loading text: http:[url].....
and this for the preloader: http:[url].....I was able to load external movies correctly, BUT each of those movies have dynamic text content. I followed that external data tut to do it in each external movie...when i played that external movie by itself, the text worked..BUT when i loaded the external movie into the container movie -- the text did not show up. It only works when i unmask that content layer.
how can i make the text show up when the content layer is masked. (it needs to be masked for the effects of each external movie that is loaded into the container to work right)
Which is a more easier/simpler/preferred/more control way of dynamically loading a text from a txt file?
1. Put a dynamic text Var as: text
PHP Code:
loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);
2. A dynamic text instance as: text
PHP Code:
loadVariables("text.txt", _root.text);
I'm loading text dynamically from a .txt file ( the font is embeded, verdana 10px, and it is rendered as HTML ). The problem is the following: the HTML tags work quite well but with some exceptions. I can't use <b> <i> <u> ( and maybe other options either but these were the ones I was playing around with ).

I am loading a text dynamically from flash which pulls the text up from either HTML or txt file and is lacking showing some special characters, more specifically it doesn't show the apostrophe ( ' ) what I am in need for now.
View 1 RepliesI have an instance of button with a dynamic text field which is getting the text from an external txt file. What I am trying to achieve is to have it load from a different text file based on its instance name. The end result i want to achieve is each instance of the button has its own unique name based on its corresponding txt file, i assume this can be done based on its instance name.
The code I am using is below
ActionScript Code:
var button_text:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
button_text.onData = function (src:String):Void {
if (src != undefined) {

I'm trying to load the content of a .txt file dynamically... If I leave the .txt file in the same root with the .swf it works perfectly, but I tried moving the .txt files into another folder and it stopped working...
Code:
var path ="/info/myInfo.txt";
var my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// actions go here...
} else {
trace("error load text files");
}};
my_lv.load(path);
"info" is the name of the folder the .txt file is in... I even tried upload it to my server and giving the absolute address like [URL] but nothing...
This question relates to the gallery that I'm working on; basically, I am now trying to add text comments which change according to which button you press to the images. I know how to make this work by applying actionscript to each individual button, but I would like to put all of the actionscript on one layer, meaning that I would have to use the 'button.onRelease = function ()' operation instead of the 'on (release) { function" operation.The code is a variation of Kirupa's code for the tutorial on loading information from an XML, and the xml is his completely. Here it is so far:
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;

I am attempting to load text from an external .txt file into dynamic text fields using AS2When you click on a button (named forward and back), I want the next &-denoted "news" item to repopulate the current dynamic text boxes to replace the first bit of info.This is what I have so far, but I'm stumped. I used the trace to make sure the button is "clicking" (it is), but I can't get the integer to go up a number and repopulat the fields.

I'm using autoSize for my text box, this is working fine.What I'm trying to do is "autoSize" the background of the text box so no matter how long or short the text box is the background will resize with the text box.
View 10 RepliesEssentially, I've got a MC container that's created dynamically based off an XML file (basically for every <title></title> I've got, it makes a new "card"). Now within the context of each <title></title> grouping I've got <imgs></imgs> in which I specify the path to images that are related.All of that works perfectly, save for the external jpg files actually appearing on the stage. The MC I add them to does, but the external image doesn't.My problem is- I can't add the external images until they're completely loaded (or so it appears). The thumbnail BG I use is blank. So I know for a fact that the thumbnail BG isn't occluding the loaded thumbnails.
View 2 RepliesI'm using a datagrid in my flash project to create a step action table that is populated by an XML file. The number of steps in the table will change from time to time, so I'd like to somehow make the datagrid length set to auto if possible. In the code below you see that grid.setSize(316,1100);. In it's current format the table will either be too long or too short when I update it's contents from time to time via the XML file. This will cause either a lot of extra white space at the bottom while scrolling or if too short it will cut off the table.

I have a TextField that I'm going to populate dynamically in code. Imagine as a simple example a cartoon with the text bubble above the speaker's head, the bubble is a rounded rectangle with some embellishments like drop shadow and a border and such and I want the bubble to be a fixed width but a variable height to accomodate a few words or maybe a long sentence that wraps to three lines. I understand that TextField will do this with autosize and wordwrap, but how do I make the 'bubble' movieclip that contains it also resize accordingly, without writing various hacks involving counting the number of characters and resizing the bubble myself?

View 2 RepliesI downloaded an Interactive Map from Active Den ... it came with an XML file that allows me to change some parts, but the part thatI need to change is not covered in the XML ... it needs to be changed in the Action Script.[URL]Basically when a landmark is moused over ... a box pops up that contains hrml (images, text. links, etc)The XML file allows me to set the max width of the pop up box.
The issue is that i need a box that is 225 px wide ... I also need another box that is 400 px wide The XML only allows me the set one width ... so I need another box (one for vertical layout, and one for horizontal layout) I thought I could duplicate the pop up box mc, and the box's Action Script (give them different names) and that would work, but I don't know exactly which parts to edit. [URL]Also, there is a screen shot of all movie clips, but the only mc that has any actions attached to it is "zoom_pan" it's at the very bottom of the list.

fontCombo.textField.autosize= TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT;
