I'm trying to do the following: I have an empty movieClip in my stage called zonaCentral_mc. I use a function that has this code:
zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso = new zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso_mc();
zonaCentral_mc.addChild(zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso);
It loads the MovieClip zonaCentral_DescripcionProceso from the library into the empty movieclip zonaCentral_mc. The loaded MC has a dynamic textfield called titulo_text inside. How can I change that text? I'm trying:

I have a masked textbox which is also dynamically added to the stage from the library, and I'd like it to resize according to the amount of text loaded into it.this isn't working:
Code:
contentBox.container_mc.contentTxt_mc.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
Unfortunately I'm getting error:1120 but I've checked and rechecked every instance name so this error doesn't make much sense...
I made a textfield, and applied a textformat to it, but whenever i try to change its text to something else outside of "addChild(myText)" it just removes the text completely.
View 5 RepliesI have a text field where user can type and few controls to customize the text properties like: font, size, color etc.If a user has typed say "Hello World", the caretindex is next to d of World. I want that if now the user makes some changes to the cusomization properties like: changes font size, then the text appearing next is of the font size set and not that of d. How can I do that?

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
I'm using the following to remove a textFeild from the stage I then need to add this textField back to the stage at a later time....i tried using addChild the problem is the text that was in the text field prior to the removal is still in the textfield when i re add it......How do i remove the textfield and replace it with a fresh textfield at a later time?....using msgTa.text =""; is not an option.
View 4 RepliesI just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
View 5 Repliesi would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
in as3 how do i get the text of a textfield to know when to line break according to the width of the textfield.

Attached is basically a recreation of the problem. What I'm basically trying to do is a tooltip window with 4 frames. Each frame has different textfields but also some the same. Like the "Weapon" frame has textfields called namebox, typebox, levelbox, and damagebox, while the "Armor" frame has namebox, typebox, levelbox, and defensebox.
In the attachment there is a Movieclip called awd on the stage. It has 2 keyframes in it called "Weapon" and "Drop" each with their own textfields but they are both called "box". I have a click event listener that makes awd go to its second frame and outputs the second child in awd, which will be the textfield. The problem is when I click the first time, awd goes to the second frame but it outputs null instead of Object TextField. When I click again it outputs Object TextField. If I trace the number of children it gives me 2. So I don't know how it can be null.
I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:
<XMLdata>
<Line>this is line 1</Line>
<Line>this is line 2</Line>
<Line>this is line 3</Line>
</XMLdata>
So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.
I have a numerical stepper,and a user can click on a textfield, then click the up and down arrows on the stepper to change the font size,i then try and set the focus back to the textfield and put the caret at the end of the textfield, but the stepper keeps focus anyway.Here is the event handler for when the stepper value is changed.Get the textfield's current format, change the size, set the new format, then focus on the textfield and set the caret position, but the caret just stays inside the stepper.
Code:
private function handleChangeTextSize(e:Event):void
{
var tField:TextField = Main.LAST_FOCUSED_OBJECT;[code]....
I've had problems with other components too with the exact same focus issue and the only solution i've ever come up with is to set a timeout for like 100 milliseconds to set the focus back then and it works. another way to do this without the "hack"?
What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.

and code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

I have two text fields and the user can use a button to underline text in either field. I have a listener on each field that keeps tracks of the last clicked in field.
public function setLastActiveTextField(event:FocusEvent):void { lastTextActiveField=event.currentTarget; trace(lastTextActiveField.name); }
[Code]....
lastActiveTextField is defined as an Object. When the highlight button is hit, it reports the correct the range, but I can't figure out how to send the formatting to the actual textfield without setting up another if (lastActiveTextField.name==field2) control. Also, stage.focus won't work because the object isn't really on the stage, I guess. There has to be a way to refer to the textField object.
My scene has a TextField object. I set up my TextField as DynamicText because I need to change it programmatically.
How do I prevent mouse cursor change to I-Beam form when it's above TextField? Also, user of my flash application is able to select text of this TextField using mouse cursor. I would like to disable this behavoiur too.
Have an Input textfield and write e.g. 123 in it (This is on frame 1).Then later in frame 3 I want that number to be shown in a Dynamic textfield.How do I do that?

I need to generate a list of text string items with elements that I can assign a mouse event listener. The event listener would respond to small segments of the overall textField text string. I am not sure how to do this. But the idea of nesting textFields within the main textField object to provide the funtionality I am interested in.
TextField.text = <text string> <textField with clickable text string> <text string>;
I don't really know what I'm doing I'm completely gone in my own code, I think I'm going around in circles!
[Code]...
Ok let me explain what I want to do: when my movie loads I want "textfield" to be focused, so I use Selection.setFocus(textfield); Fine! But on a frame before this I have a button to enter my site! Now as soon as you click this button it changes the focus so that when I enter the frame with the textfield it is no longer focused! Make sense? Well on this frame once the textfield is focused you can enter text right away! and then I have this listener which listens to an event within the textfield! Ok now I'm even more confused then when I started explaining this! Anyway I want the textfield to be focused when you enter this frame and if the user focuses something else, well then they will have to focus the textfield themselves. Basicly I just want the the textfield to be focused on load, but the problem is my button at the start! What?
I'm trying to access a movie clip on stage but my event listener doesn't seem to respond to the added to stage event. I've checked the code and it seems to be correct but just doesn't work. the movieclip i'm trying to trace is sb.
[Code]...
I'm getting a list of movieclips with attached scripts to display, but when I try to put them on the sceen nothing shows up.I can trace the elements in the list and it will tell me there are elements there.I can trace getChildAt(numChildren -1) and it will tell me there is something there but nothing is visible.If I generate the list in the constructor of the class that handles the displaying it does show them, but when I try to load them when they are actually needed they don't show up.Here's a simplification of the code(its a small part of a larger project and I can't put all of it up somewhere public)This code does what it should do(unfortunately that is not what I need done)
Code:
package foo.bar
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
[code]...
The traces all show up so I know its running the method, the traces tell me it adds stuff the the screen, but what I see on the screen remains completely stagnant, as if nothing is being added.
Im trying to use the added eventlistener. When a child is loaded i then wish to trigger to a function. But the function seems to be triggering before the graphic is load.I am using this for some press loader functionality before a database is queried.[code]The above if statment works. But inizRequestOfData() seems to be trigged before the loading of anygraphic is done.
