ActionScript 2.0 :: Too Much Text In Textbox?
Oct 21, 2011
I have a textbox (actually, quite a few, I am working with lots of actionscripting/manipulating text), and it seems like the more text that's in the textboxes, the slower flash processes things. I understand like if I had 2 billion characters or something, but were talking a major slowdown between a difference of 300 and 800 words. I would think that flash should be able to handle that. Some are htmlText boxes, and so this added 'hidden' html tags creates lots of slowdown as well. I have cleared variables after using them, and it has helped somewhat, but not very noticably.

I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

I am making something where a user is able to type text into an input box and it is added to the stage inside a movieclip. I then make that movieclip draggable.Problem is the textbox height is sometimes even double the height of the height of the text inside. I need it to fit tight

With Flash CS5 and AS3, I have created a textbox and I load some html text (with CSS) into it. This works great. This textbox has fixed width & height.
I would like to show another component, say "component1", only if the loaded text is too long to be entirely displayed in the textbox.
How can I detect that the text which is loaded with AS3 is too big to be entirely displayed in a textbox ?

I have a textbox that will display numbers,but not text.I'm fairly certain it can't be anything to do with the code, so could it be something to do with the properties?
Code:

var scoreBubble:ScoreBubble = new ScoreBubble();[code]....

I want to identify specific strings in a text box from user input to add to a score variable, like so -
[Code]...
The example given adds 1 to the score, but if a user adds a space then a second word the text box views it as a whole and not individual words, resulting in no values added to the score variable.The problem lies with the whole text box being viewed as one entire string. Instead, I want to split it up so word1 will add 1 to the score, word2 will add 1 to the score, etc.

I created a text area on my stage using the text tool, then converted it to a MovieClip symbol. I called it ScoreLabel and I clicked "Export for ActionScript". I named the instance of the text area scoreLabel. However, when I do this in my code:
scoreLabel.text = this.score;
it doesn't change. That line is in my Main.as file, which is the document class. How can I change the text shown in this text area using ActionScript? Maybe I need to import a library?

I made a movie clip to show instructions for a study people will participate in. I wanted to make it look nice so it has a lot of movement and fades and stuff. This required the use of more nested movie clips than i probably need. However, now when I want to attach a string var to a text box in the movie clip, it doesn't show whencompiled.Code:instructions_mc_m.large_instuctions_mc.large_instructions_tb_container.large_instructions_tb.text=matchedInstrThere are no errors, so I'm assuming the path is correct (and i dbl checked it anyway)

I am using Flash Professional 8. I tried to create a scrollable textbox, which has two columns, please see attached image (menu.gif). Unfortunately i have to type out the whole text, even though i have the text already formatted correctly using tables in a html file. Also, why is the keyboard tab button not working within a scrollable text box?? Is there a way to activate it? I have been using the space bar to align text within the textbox. And the alignment is not exact!?
Anyway, when i test (Ctrl+Enter) the movie In Flash 8, the two column text formatting is lost and the text is spread out all over the textbox?? It seems at runtime, the text formatting does not apply? I have managed to create tables in html which display the above text exactly how i want it. However, how can this html file be imported into the textbox in Flash 8?

I searched the forum first, found a lot of answers, but not for this question.I need to display a dynamic text in a textbox. In my txt file there are some "&" and "+" characters that need to be displayed. So I URL encoded these characters. "&" becomes %26 and "+" becomes %2b. Strange thing is: it works perfect for the "+", but the "&" won't show nowhere...
Changing my txt file from Unicode into UTF 8 doesn't.Tried using System.useCodepage = true;

Ok, so i have this problem with text dissapearing if i use one font, it shows in one textbox, but the other ones are odd, they either show 0 or 1, or the first letter only, or nothing at all. What's the problem?In the beggining i tried to ignore the problem by changing the font or the font style, but now, it's becoming to ugly if i use too many different fonts.

where i can find Dynamic Text Effect Tutorials. I'm trying to create a textbox that loads external text and, upon loading, displays the text like its being typed. In addition the new letters fade from white to a shade of blue, and lastly as the letters are being typed a sound clip is played per typed letter.

I'm trying to separate the text in my scrollable textbox into separate paragraphs, with space in between each paragraph, but I don't know how to do this in ActionScript. So far, the frame actions look like this:
textField = " "
(There's text in between the " ", but I'm not going to paste it here because there's a lot."Also, I'm trying to format the text, so that the headings of the paragraphs are bold while the rest of the text is normal.

Is it possible to create a textbox with a scrollbar that can contain both text and images? Maybe some sort of ActionScript that has to do with loading external files that contains both text and images? But I presume that if it's going into a textbox, it'd have to be text.. I'd like my content in a textbox though (rather than in a movieclip) so it could be scrollable.
what I'd do is create my page in Fireworks with the text and images. So that way I can assign hyperlinks on keywords. Then the file would be saved as either PNG or HTML. Either way, could Flash import such files into a textbox and still preserve the hyperlinks?
