ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text Into A Fixed Width Multiline Text Field?
May 30, 2010Is there a way I can stop a single word splitting over two lines when putting dynamic text into a fixed width, multiline text field?I have a simple method of checking if there are more lines than words and then running a while loop to reduce the font size until there are the same amount or less lines than words. But this doesnt always work, if say the final word of three is quite short and the second word splits over two lines then I still have 3 words and 3 lines.

Dec 3, 2010I have a movieclip with static text inside of it. The width (correct one) of the movieclip is 204 px, this is what it even reports after dragging it from library to stage. However, if I export the movie and trace the width of the movieclip, I get 214 px. Inside of the clip is a static text field - it is not wider than the clip and it is not even filled up with text completely. Now if I change it to dynamic text and I export the movie, I get the correct width - 204.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Why Can't Set A Dynamic Text Field Equal To A Variable
Jul 26, 2004I have a preloader. On one frame of the preloader is the code:
i++
loadtext = i;
emptyMC = "holder"+i
allimages._visible = false;
allimages.createEmptyMovieClip("holder"+i, i);
allimages[emptyMC].loadMovie("weddingsintro"+i+".jpg");
Everything works fine, but the dynamic textfield with the var name loadtext is blank. If i set loadtext = i+"loaded" then it just displays "loaded". I know the variable "i" has a value since the rest of the preloader works.

Mar 12, 2010I have a scroll bar that scrolls horizontally through images that are loaded dynamically from an xml file. Then I have Next and Previous buttons that advance the scroller to the next and previous image. It works fine when all of the image are of equal width. BUT I want to be able to load images that have different widths. Right now, the basic idea is to find the next _x position that the scroller would jump to when you hit the next button by taking the total scrollable area, divide it by the total number of images, and multiplying it by current image number.

Actionscript 3 :: Auto-size Text To Fit The Width Of A Button?

The maximum length for my sized text appears to be 13 characters before it will become too large.The program starts by dynamically creating several buttons, filling them with the title and description as set in an XML document.
To add the text I have this code:
