My vision is to have a colored square at the top of the site Im working on which should span across the entire browser window. I have created a square 1280 x 100 pixels in size and imported it to the stage, alignment is set to x=0, y=0 ad alignment. The scene is the same size as the square I 've imported. When I view my Flash creation its displayed 8 pixels from the top left corner of the browser window. The flash file only contains the square and nothing else. take a look at the 3 files I've attached: issue-scrreen1-3.jpg. The first 2 screens are my Flash, properties and library screen shots. The third screen shot is my browser window.

If we type in a notepad then it is proper,But in the .swf , it's like the below image.It is clear in a Flash text field each character uses different width. So it doesn't line up the text properly. I mean, like in the example, second line "BRO" is a bit left as compared to "BRO" in first line. Is there any setting/code that i can use so that it displays like above image of the notepad where each character consumes same amount of screen space so that character in each line lines-up properly.
EDIT: There is some typo in the title . Please ignore. The title is "Text Field - character alignment within single textfield"
Is there a way to display left and right quotation marks in a dynamic textfield in flash / as3?
View 3 RepliesI would like to set a fixed width for an input textfield with an embedded font. I would like to have the option to left-, right-, or center-justify the text. This is proving difficult.
If I set myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;, I get left-justified text, but the textfield width changes with each keystroke. Same trade-off with TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT and TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER.
Now, if I use TextFieldAutoSize.NONE, then I can fix the width and height of my textfield, making it the size I want... but the cursor is always blinking in the middle of the textfield. What's the secret to justifying that cursor to the left [or right] and the textfield staying the size I initially set it to?
OK. I have a textfield which I am assigning text to dynamically. I would like this text to move from left to right as it comes into the textfield, similar to a wall street ticker.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to set left and right margins in textfield to be a certain amount of inches. How can I do this if the margin can only be set in pixels?
Won't it change whenever the resolution change?

I have an input textfield, and when I click in it, all the text in the textfield moves to the left so you can't see it anymore. (Here is a screen shot of it with both textfields having "100" in them after clicking in the top one:'ve tried playing around with the different textfield properties (autoSize, condenseWhite..) and can't find one that fixes this.
View 5 RepliesHas anyone else noticed a lot of things breaking since flash player 11 was released? I have input text fields that display html content in them. They also have an image embed in them as well. Before people could enter text in them with no problems and now suddenly all the text types from right to left and is completely backwards?
Just to be clear it's not aligning to the right, the actual letters are coming out backwards like it might do for another language that is from right to left. These text fields are not TLFTextFields just regular textfields.
I have other textfields just like this that, but they don't have images in them and they seem to be working fine. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it with flash player 11?
using a one line TextField with a fixed width that display text from the keyboard. I'd like that when the display text become greater, it aligns itself on the right, and let appear all the new characters, making the left ones disappearing. That is to say, it slides from right to left, letting always the right part of the text visible. I've tried using the "align" property of TextFormat set to "right", but it doesn't work (it just good to align a paragraph), and cut my text.

I need the flash file aligned centre and middle.
I can easily do this using tables or divs using basic object embed code, BUT the problem is my preloader then doesnt work in IE if i use the basic embed code.
If i want my preloader to work in IE i have to use the publish code generated by flash cs4. The problem is i cannot align the file centre & middle no matter what i try. and tables and divs have no effect on this publish code whatsoever.
you can view source on that page to view the cs4 publish code.
Is there anyway to align imported images automatically to the top left of the stage?
I'm using File, Import, Import to Stage which works great for importing multiple images from a folder BUT if I have resized the stage at all (to fit the image size) they align with their top left corner in the centre of the stage.
Is it possible to control the alignment of images loaded into a UILoader ? My images are loaded in via XML. Most are are the size of the UILoader dimensions 960 x 482, but there are a handful which are portrait format and these are being aligned to the top left of the UILoader. I would like to center these instead.
View 3 RepliesI am new to Flash but have used Illustrator and InDesign for years. How to set the reference object by which all other objects are aligned; e.g. Illustrator ->select all objects then a second click on the reference object and all other objects take their cue. InDesign you lock the reference object and that determines the rest. In Flash it seems that either both objects move or the one that I wish to remain in position jumps rather than the other way around.

View 4 RepliesI keep asking myself why Flash is so simple when it comes to text layout and finally today I was thinking that that really can't be, considering Flash is meant to layout text in web sites. In my text field, I am looking to create a half return, so if I want space between two paragraphs, I don't have to use an empty return each time. Kind of like p padding in css. I also want to create a tab order in my text field, for better alignment of information. I am looking to create the look of two columns, where I have a date with a paragraph associated with it, with the paragraph being more then one line of the date, but staying indented. Lastly, and I am assuming this is a given, I would like the text to come from a xml or html file.
View 10 RepliesI am loading a MovieClip using MovieClipLoader. When the MovieClip starts playing, it changes the alignment of my stage to LT, which incorrectly repositions all the other objects on my stage.
Is there anyway for me to:
Prevent the MovieClip from changing the alignment of my stage? Adding an event handler to an appropriate event, so that I can reset the stage alignment when it gets changed?
I have already tried resetting the stage alignment on the onLoadInit event of MovieClipLoader and the onEnterFrame event of MovieClip, but both seem to reset the alignment too soon.
i cant find a way to horizontal alignment of the data grid rows, although it has a vertical alignment parameter.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a expandable ad banner. For example, a banner that comes from 200x200 for 400x200 with right alignment.
View 3 RepliesI am currently trying to figure out a circular alignment problem. so if you look at the following code, it works perfect without the positioning section. All the data is being loaded from a database and when the user clicks on the mc which houses this code in its second frame, it accesses the database and if there are more rows in the database whose owner column matches the name of the clip it will add more circles to the stage and then use other data received from the database to edit it such as its colour. But what I am also trying to do is align the newly added circles in a circular pattern around the mc (when clicked the mc will be centred on the stage.
