Is it possible to have a well formatted text with XML?Will i be able to use the 'return carriage' and lay my text in paragraphs?
Iam trying to load an external xml file that has description of the images in my portfolio.
How can I get the text from the textarea component along with the line feed & carriage return characters?
As now, I amusing the text to send email. But in email, it showing all in a line rather than multiline, which means carrriage return and/or line feed characters are missing. How can get them?
How do I convert a multiline of text from an input box into a single line of text except I would put a string of characters to replace the carriage return?
from:
Hello
world
I
[code]...
to:
Hello~|~world~|~I~|~am~|~here.
Tried this and other variants but doesn't work.
txt = txt.split(ASCII(13)).join("~|~");
I have this line:
text="{selectedOrder.targetLocationName} 'crlf' {pickUpLocationHTML}"
I am developing an admin panel for an flash site. One of the sections contains large amount of text containing Carriage Returns. It can look as this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.
So from the text area the text goes to mysql and from mysql I generate an XML file. The problem is the xml file source is looking like this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.
This way in flash the text has some big spaces between phrases and I dont like it. How to generate XML file to be like this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.
If it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields? I've tried something like this:
my_txt.restrict="^u0013", and a bunch of variations thereof, but nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing. Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck looking for

I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic textfield set to input, but when I try this:
var n:Number = my_txt.indexOf("

trace("n: "+n) //traces "n: -1"
How to remove a carriage return that's inserted mysteriously by flash. I have a text input box and it auto adds a enter key press carriage return.
<IMAGE Names="Josh

I've been looking around but i couldn't find a solution for my pb..Here's what i do:
[AS]
onClipEvent (load) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT.htm");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
[code]....
Now my text file is like that:
myNews=<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"><B>This is bold 24 point text</B><P></P><P></P>blah blah</FONT>
As i could read on macromedia 's web site:Use an empty pair of <P></P> tags to insert a line break. Use two pairs to insert a line break and carriage return.But this isn't working.
I have an input TextField and have a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN even listener on the stage to listen for the Keyboard.ENTER event. The event listener adds the entered text to an array or whatever, and then clears the TextField. The problem is that when the Enter key event fires and the TextField value is set to "", it leaves a carriage return in the TextField and the cursor positioned on the second line. WTF? I've been coding AS2 and AS3 for a LONG time and have never ran into this before.Example:
var myTextArray:Array = new Array();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
function onKeyDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
[code].....
How on earth do you restrict "ENTER/CARRIAGE RETURN" key ASCII 13 on input textfields?
View 5 RepliesMy XML looks like this...
<feature title="This is my /n features title"/>
I don't have access to change the schema.
In Flash I load the text content of the title attribute into a text field, problem is -- the prints instead of operating as a carriage return (new line).
Again, no access to the XML so changing the TextField to htmlText and adding a <br/> tag wont work.
why i cannot get the carriage returns and tabs stripped from my XML. I guess the only drawback at this point is that i cannot form my xml file nicely and am stuck placing all my node text on one line.
So far here is what i have tried without any luck;
ActionScript Code:
var subXml:XML = new XML();
subXml.ignoreWhitespace = true;
subXml = new XML(e.target.data);
[Code].....
I am otherwise at a loss as to why it's leaving the tabs returns etc. in my textFields when i populate them with the node data.
I am simply wanting to stop a user entering carriage returns in a TextArea. I have been experimenting with the 'restrict' property in the TextArea but cant seem to work it out.I have the following code:
<mx:Canvas id="cvs1" label="Panel 1" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete"addEvtListnerOnPlaceText()" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:TextArea id="txtP1T1" x="10" y="176" text="{placeName}" width="210" textAlign="center" color="#DC0000" restrict="this is where I need some help"/>
</mx:Canvas>
I've now managed to get something working:
private function addEvtListnerOnPlaceText():void{
txtP1T1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEventDown);
txtP1T1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyEventUp);
[code]....
The only issue now is that if you hold return down, it clears the first carriage return and then keeps adding as long as you hold it down. I need a way to stop this happening without just losing focus on the text area.
I've got an app where I'm grabbing the currently highlighted text from the user in a RichEditableText block and I've noticed that when the user highlights a selection after a carriage return that selectionActivePosition and selectionAnchorPosition return values that don't count the carriage return, even though when I slice the corresponding text with the retrieved values, it does take the carriage return into account and therefore returns a value shifted one character to the left for each carriage return appearing earlier in the text.

I'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

I'm not sure exactly what's going on here (maybe I'm not understanding how the timeline executes?).
I have a game that has the menu in the first frame, the game in later frames. When the game is won, the user is able to click to return to the menu. Using trace(), I've found that the click reads, and it starts to execute the actions that have been written in the 1st frame. But, when it gets to the line that adds an event listener to a button on the stage using solo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,goSolo) (solo is the name of the button on the screen), it returns:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
The line executes just fine when the whole thing initializes, so I don't know why it's not working when it restarts. Is the code getting read before the stage is populating when I return the user to the main menu using gotoAndPlay(1) from the click listener? It doesn't make a difference if I use gotoAndStop(1). What's a good workaround?
Or is it because the button is in a layer lower than the actions? (I've always put my actions in the highest layer, and don't remember ever having this problem before). But why then would it still work at the very beginning but not with the restart?
