View 6 Repliesare you allowed to put Insert Symbols inside of movie clips? because mine don't seem to work...
View 2 RepliesI just learned how to make a basic slideshow of images where one image shows for 3 seconds and then fades out and then a new one fades in, on and on. I imported my images, converted each image to a movie clip symbol and now they're arranged in my timeline. I need to add a NEW image at the very beginning of the the timeframe. I keep trying to Insert --> Frame, etc., but I'm not seeing a new first position in the timeline where my image will go. I'm used to video editing timelines and Flash is a real challenge for me.
View 1 RepliesWhen I create a TLF text area that is editable at runtime (which means that it can get a user input at runtime) I set the text direction to the 'right-to-left' definition in both the 'container and flow' and the 'paragraph' sections and set the language for Arabic or Hebrew at the 'locale' setting. I also set the text alignment to the 'align to start' mode. Now at runtime there's a stange thing. When I try to click with the mouse cursor on the editable TLF text-box, it's not displaying the text icon cursor and don't allow me to insert text inside.
But when I move my mouse cursor over the right side of the editable TLF text box, it change his appearance to the familiar text cursor which indicate that if you click here you will be able to insert text input inside. So my problem is how can I make it that only when I will hover over the TLF text box itself, the mouse cursor will be changed to text cursor icon and when I will hover beside its right side, it will remain at the normal cursor mode.
can you please help me with this issue the String class does not have insert method it has only replace :( .
what I need is:
- if I have string "I stackoverflow"
- I need to insert "love " at index 2 to have "I love stackoverflow"
so what I need is insertAt(index, String)
i want to insert graphic ( icon ) in text box.

View 1 RepliesI think that arrays are probably one of the more powerful tools available in flash,
mc with instance name but0
inside mc is a text box var name label , code is
[AS]label = _name;[/AS]
mc on main timeline code in frame 1 is:
subjects = new Array("page1","page2","page4","page4","page5")
butHeight = but0._height+5;
butNumber = subjects.length[code]....
What this code does is produce 5 buttons appearing one after the other, like a cascade effect, so far so good, I then want to insert the array elements into text box label, but all I get is subject, subject1, subject2 and so on.So, what do I need to do so that my buttons are called page1, page2 and so on.
So I have extended my textfield so I can add a some text, a style, an x and y position.
var clientText:MyTextField = new MyTextField("Client:", "style1", 75, 60);
addChild(clientText);
The problem is the text is starting to get a bit long and I need a way to insert large amount of text neatly. I don't really want to use xml I would prefer to just have it in the ide like in the attached image. However formatting it in this way gives me the error
In actionscript, is there any way to format the input text so that a dash or space is inserted after a set number of characters? So instead of xxxxxxxxxx
you get xxx-xxx-xxxx
I'm trying to create text using html so I could format it in html.So I created a textbox, gave it an instance name, selected "Dynamic Text" and clicked "Render text as html".When I click F9 (to get to the Actions Panel) to insert my html code, I get the message "Current selection can't have actions applied to it".How do I insert html into the Actions Panel to format text?
View 3 RepliesHow to set focus and insert caret in an empty text field in AS3
View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to put together a 'French Accents' keypad (basically a few buttons that insert a French character into a textfield when pressed). At the moment im having the following issues with it:
The french characters always appear at the end of the string despite where the cursor is focused.
I can't get the cursor/caret to focus after any letter generated by a press of a button rather than a keyboard input.
Here is my current button code:
ActionScript Code:
on(release){
//The getCaretIndex method returns the index of the blinking insertion point (caret) position.
[Code]....
is there a way i can extract a MC and a text field from flash and insert into MS word? i have to insert it as a picture and text seperately. is there a way to do it?
View 2 RepliesI need to insert "<b>" before and "</b>" after the currently selected text in an input textbox.
View 2 RepliesI have a series of buttons that when clicked will enter a character into a dynamic textfield. Here is my code:
on (release) {
//if the focus is on the answer text box
if (_root.answerFocus) {
[code]...
This works but I dont know how to get round the following issues: Once a button is pressed the cursor moves out of the textbox once the character is placed inside, each character always goes to the end of my text line (as += implies but I can't find a workaround).
I want to programmatically insert formatted text at the current cursor position in a Flex 4 (Spark) RichEditableText control. I could just modify the .text property But that doesn't allow me to insert formatted text. So I believe I need to interact with either .textFlow or .textFlow.interactionManager somehow? However, TLF is quite complex and I can't find a simple way to do what I want.

View 1 RepliesI have text from an RSS feed parsed using AS3 and displayed on the stage in a few dynamic text fields. Some of the text is too long and I would like to limit the text in the field to "x" amount of characters and insert an ellipses (...) character when that

View 2 RepliesIts been a while since my last post and i apologise if this has come up before, but what im basically trying to do is insert (not load) a swf into my main fla file. I have my home page (index.fla) and i've downloaded this cool image viewer or slideshow, and i want to insert that into my index.fla file. What I've tried so far. I've inserted a movie clip and named it imageViewer, I then imported (to stage) viewer.swf. This does not work. Something that looks nothing like the image viewer briefly pops up when i run index.fla.

View 9 RepliesI've finished my flash file. I created it with Flash CS3. I didn't use any scripting, dynamic stuff, etc.. It's a simple flash movie of vectors/tweening.I want to insert it in my homepage, but when I publish it, I get quite a lot of code. I've been looking around & I see some sites that have all this javascript & some that don't.Could someone help me identify the correct way to embed my .swf file? I'm not a fan of .js since it doesn't work if it's turned off in a user's browser. I want my .swf file to play as long as the visitor has Flash 8 or higher installed. And if they don't, I want to display a .png instead.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am trying to insert an xml swf portfolio into my main fla file... could some kind person talk me through it?
I have tried inserting into the stage, and inserting into a movie container but no luck.
I use a handful of shortcuts daily while developing in Flash on OSX. The shortcuts I use the most are when I'm working on the timeline with key frames. F5, f6, F7 etc. However, I cannot use the F6 key to insert keyframes. It's not an option as a shortcut in the drop down and the option to change or assign it is grayed out in the Keyboard Preferences menu.My first thought is that I have another program running or setting in OSX that's blocking that ability or overriding it. I have tried reinstalling CS4 entirely with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to track down the problem? It's a huge time killer when doing animation.
