I have one row of text in a textField with specified height and width.When I set antiAliasType = "advanced"; the top of the text line is cut off. It doesn't matter what I set the height and width of the text field to. How can I solve this problem?
View 3 RepliesI'd like to display antialiased text on a component (in this case, a FB4 Spark Label, but that's irrelevant).
Am I reading the docs correctly, and the only way to antialias the text in Flash Builder 4 is to actually embed the whole damn font, even though it's vanilla Arial which 99.9% of all users have???
is there a peice of actionscript which will control the smoothness or antialias of the text? we have:
Text = "page name";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();[code]....
is theree a line of actionscript that i can add in to make the text readable?
Anyone know how to set a dynamic text box to "antialias for readability"? [code]...
View 3 Repliesit is more or less like this: i have some things drawn into a container sprite; those things may include text and other stuff. then i create a bitmapdata and i render all that stuff into the bitmapdata, so when rendering it does not slow down too much, and i put that bitmapdata into a bitmap, and that bitmap into another sprite (this is because i pass it as parameter to a function set to receive a sprite, not a visual object). when i rotate the sprite that contains the bitmap, the picture looks kinda blocky, and the text appears very ugly, specially when there is rotation, even if there is no angle yet (probably due to rounding it may take as different than zero), the text appears with some lines that crosses it,probably due to rounding problems. i saw there was an option to smooth the bitmap when scaling though i have not read too much into it yet, i have also thought about adding a blur filter if rotation != 0, but i believe it would be making a mess out of it. It is working fine now, but it looks ugly when rotating, how do i set up a sprite so it antialiases when rotating?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a good way to antialias a bitmap i'm generating with actionscript3. My goal would be to achieve this processing from scratch.I read a lot on the subject but the most common algorithm are looking too loud (means it's freaky cpu-intensive) to work properly within my swf, because i'm using a scale2x algorithm to smooth the edges of my shape. It doesn't have to be colorfull, since my shape is black and white !
View 2 Repliesi'm trying to make a photo gallery but when i try to scale them, i get this distortions in the thumbs. i try to find how to fix this problem, searching in google, i found that i have to convert them to bitmap, but i can't make it work.

As far as I know, smoothing of loaded swf file is not possible?To make loaded bitmap smooth/antialias I use:
ActionScript Code:
_bmp = _adImage.content as Bitmap;
_bitmapNew = new Bitmap(_bmp.bitmapData, "auto", true);
_image.unit.addChild(_bitmapNew);
That of course, works fine.But is there a way to the the similar for loaded swf file?
I am using embedded fonts in combination with antiAliasType ADVANCED which gives good results for smaller fontsizes.But if the textField contains a lot of text (> 20000 characters) then parts of the text is simply NOT shown. I have experimented with different values of the sharpness, but without results.
View 7 RepliesI used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?
View 1 RepliesI am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.
View 16 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.
I need to put together an editable text area that has a custom caret (cursor) which is different from the default blinking vertical line. Is the caret a "skinnable" property of text input? note that I am not asking about the mouse pointer cursor which can be set using the CursorManager.

This is what I tried, I am very new to Action Script, so excuse the futility of my code.
Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.
Is it possible to create gradient text with text in a text field, without using a different object?
I have three text fields sitting right next to each other, to create a row. Some times the text is longer than the width of the text field, I don't want to widen the the text field to make it fit, I just want to fade the last 20 - 50 pixels of the text out.
Is this possible to do without using an object above it, such as a gradient?
If you take a look at my flash movie you will see that I have draggable movie clips, which contain dynamic text fields. These text fields contain text drawn in from a simple xml document. The problem I have is that the text in the text fields is hedged right next to the border of the autosized text box. This makes them look untidy and in the worst case difficult to read. I wonder how I can add some margin to the left and right of the text to fill in some space.The code which formats the text boxes is:
with (main["dragAct"+i].dragActText) {
text = actText[i+1];
background = true;

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:
Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.
I'm playing around with a messaging type of application. Does anyone know how, or of any tutorials on to "appending" html text to text areas in flex and flex mobile projects? And specifically how I could take that and basically "append" a sprite inline to the text when i need to? Something simple like:Username: some text right here!So, Anyone have any experience "appending" sprites or simple text formatting?how to solve these issues!EDIT:Based on an answer below it was sugguested that it's as simple as...textAreaInstance.htmlText += "<b>Username:</b> some text right here!";But its not. you can't do .htmltext with a text area. you can on a text field, so i tried
var TF:TextField = new TextField();
TF.width = 200;
TF.height = 200;

The textfield on top is made from code, left is without bold and right is with bold

tf.defaultTextFormat = tform;

The textfield on the bottom is made from the text tool in the IDE, left is regular and right is bold.This is all the properties of that textfield.How do I make the top text look like the bottom text? I think the bottom one looks nicer than the top.
I have a text field component that I am dynamically populating with text. The words appear one letter at a time in a teleprinter style fashion. I also have rendered certain words with HTML to make style changes within the text.Now all this works fine, except because the HTML text is larger than the body of the other text, I am losing theteleprintereffect at the bottom of the text field. In other words, after a set amount has been printed, users are not seeing the letters printed out one at a time, but instead just get a printed line of text appear from beneath the visible section of the text window.
