View 2 Replieshow to animate cells in a grid. An example being [URL] when the cells fly in to form the grid at the beginning randomly. I know how to create a grid and dynamically load content into each cell with XML, I'm just wondering how to achieve the animation at the beginning forming the grid?
View 5 RepliesI have a MovieClip that when the update(); function is called, it checks the cells (on a grid) around it to see if there is an object there. If so it updates it's image to reflect that.
How i'm doing it now is something like 40 if/else/else if statements..
I have a grid with 16 cells, and I want to give each cell a different instance name; like for example, boxy1, boxy2, ....boxy16; how do I achieve that ? Here is the code:
var rows:int = 4;var cols:int = 4;for (var py:int = 0; py <rows; py++){ for (var px:int = 0; px <cols; px++) { var box:Box = new Box(); box.x = 30 + box.width * px; box.y = 30 + box.height * py; addChild(box); }}
I have set up a grid class that contains theoretical cells. I have a method collectCells() which accepts a starting point, radians and distance as arguments. I want this method to return an Array containing all the cells that are along a given angle and that are within the specified distance from the starting point, e.g. The easiest way for me to do this is just loop through all the pixels in the given direction and pick cells up as I go, something like:
[Code]....
This is obviously really poor, as the loop will be as long as the distance I specify - extremely slow. I tried something different, creating a nextCell() method which accepts the last collected cell and radians. The method threw a point 25 pixels in the direction specified by radians, collected the resulting cell and then started over from that cell for a given amount of cells.
I didn't really think about this approach clearly enough, and once done realized that I had a problem, being that the actual path I'm testing gets broken each time the next cell is sought, e.g. Where the green dotted line is the desired path, and the blue lines are the paths that make up each nextCell() call because the check is made from the centre of each cell. What is the correct way to efficiently collect the cells in a given direction over a specified distance (pixels)?
I have a 850 by 480 px grid. For every keystroke i am looping through an array to check if input textfield is matching object keyword, and then create cells that cover the whole grid.
But i am not sure how to populate the grid. The range is between 0 and 300, and the user input decides how many cells i have to create.
If the result is 4, i should create a two by two table. If it's 64, i should have a eight by eight table.
There is a dynamic text box and I set it's wrap to be falseHowever, when I input text and press enter key, it still return to next line. How should I fix it in Flash CS3?
View 3 RepliesI have a Dynamic Text field in my movie clip. This text field has embedded fonts and Behavior is set to Multiline. When I add text to it, it wont display the text that wraps beyond the first line.
var textField:TextField = tip_txt; // text field inside my movie clip
trace("before textField.numLines = " + textField.numLines);
textField.text = "test a verrrrry looooooooong striiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggg";

Using CS4 flash. I am loading an external text(txt file) in to flash. That works fine. How do I add pictures to that text and text wrapping around pictures.
View 2 RepliesSomething that has always bothered me, wrapping text around images. Now in the past I always just used line breaks to wrap the text around images in a static and dynamic text field.
I haven't really had much experience with using HTML formatted text in dynamic text fields but I am told in can wrap text around image, is this true? And if so I am imagining the image would have to be external to the flash file and inserted using an <img srce> tag.
Was looking around for perhaps a simpler way of doing it and came across "Text Layout Framework" from Adobe. After reading into it, seems that it will wrap the text around in dynamic text fields through use of extensions and components (plus a whole stash of other features.) Would this assumption be correct?
And is there any support for text to wrap around images in static text fields
In flex, I have HBox in which I have loaded an image. I want to wrap text around it. Hence, there would be an image on right and text will be on left. After the image is cleared, text will be displayed 100% of the width. How can I achieve it?

View 2 RepliesA client has asked me to wrap text around a picture on the top right of the homepage. Can this be done. To be honest, I can't remember ever seeing this in flash. I have done a search for tutorials on google etc but found nothing. I am also including a picture so you can see exactly what I mean.

if it's possible to make text wrap in the combobox component, and if so, how? I've searched this and other forums/sites but have had no luck with an answer either way. I'd like to combobox to stay a set width and therefore wrap text lines that are longer than the width. Currently it's just cutting off the text.
View 2 Replieswithout creating my own component is there any way to have the text on a radiobutton wrap so there is more than one line of text?
View 1 RepliesI've got some sentences I need to put in a ComboBox as selections. They are much too long for the width of the box on the page. Is there a way to wrap the text in the ComboBox? I'm wondering if I need to put the text into a jpg or something and use that as the label.

I'm using FB4.6 and constructing a variable sized DataGrid in actionscript. I need the text to wrap in the header (actually every cell) of a datagrid. I can find examples of doing it in mxml but not programatically.
View 0 RepliesI am having this weird problem when I load an XML document.The last part of the text doesn't 'wrap', if that is the proper english expression; the lines don't go to the next line they just get lost. You can see what I mean in this link, by clicking on the Kaiser Chiefs item/photo/text, and then scroll down in the article. However, when you go back to home and do it again, the text looks allright! But that is too late of course.

I have an input text box that is about 400pix wide by 5 lines deep. Is there a way to automatically wrap the text when the user gets to the end of the box? As it stands, the text simply continues on the first line past the boundary box, until ENTER is pressed.

View 2 RepliesI have a problem with the text on them.I want the text to wrap, autosize and be multiline - ie I want the button to be a certain width and if the text is longer for a particular button the button will be higher with the text going onto the next line.The wierd thing is that it worked, I went and made a cup of tea, came back and it was not working! Maybe the cat changed my code but I cannot see where.

How do I set the text wrap (multiline) for inputText box components?
View 3 RepliesI have a TextField with multiline and word wrap enabled, and a fixed width. I want to calculate the total height of the text inside it. I tried using TextField.textHeight, but that gives me the height of one line. Because of the wrapping, I can't easily calculate the number of lines to multiply it with the line height. TextField.height just gives me the fixed, default height of the field, 100 pixels.

I have an input field in which I am sending the text out of flash and up to my server. I wanted to read the input field text then apply html tags around it. Unfortunately, my technique is not working correctly as it does not read the input field but it does change the format. I think I am escaping it incorrectly [code]...
