I've been trying to format a text field using html in an xml file. So far it's been working fine but I tried to load an image to the text field and I got this error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
I figured I had my image in the wrong format (it was a jpg) so I tried png and gif with no results. Here's my xml file

I am new to flash but I have used motion tween before with Flash CS3. Now I need a text to decrease size and modify alpha so I wrote the text (one word), converted it to symbol (movie clip), create 2 key-frames (larger size, alpha 30% -> small size, alpha 100%) and "create motion tween" between. But it doesn't work i don't know why! This time I use Flash CS4 and I was wondering if there are some presets or something that I don't know. The arrow that suppose to appear between the frames doesn't ..only the frames change color.

View 3 RepliesI'm starting flash and already familiar with some of the basics (movie clips, coloring them, adding them on stage, events).And while I read a book to follow, and see tutorials here and there, I kinda follow the "learn as you go" approach.I think the most challenging part here is the scroller to choose colors. I already tried to look for online tutorials but I guess my google terms were simply weak and inaccurate.

View 1 RepliesI want to use the UI Text Scroll component on a text box. When I make the initial text box,it is the normal 1 line in depth, based on the font size. When I paste the type into the box it gets very long, which is fine, but when I try to make the text box smaller using the transform tool so that I can make it fit the movie, it makes the type smaller as well. Is there a way to change the height of the box, without it effecting the text inside?
View 2 RepliesI have completed a simple contact form using Flash CS5 and AS2. Instead of having headings such as "your email", "subject" and "message" outside each text field, they are contained inside each relevant text field and are made up of input text. I would like to do two things: To have the initial text (ie. "Subject") in a smaller size and heavier weight than the subsequent text typed in by the user. I would also like the initial text (ie. "Subject") to disappear as soon as the user starts to type in the same box.

So, I need to find a way to figure if my text will be readable or not, the text should change to black (for example, yellow background) or white ( dark blue background ) if the contrast is not good enough.
So, is there a method to do this?, what would you use to make this work?

I am trying to add text in actionscript 3 (in a actions frame) simple enough. but.i want to have words next to each other, that have different fonts, font sizes and colors. I've been googling and experimenting for most of the day and haven't really got anywhere.
I will post what i have and what i would like to do, and if someone can help me, i would be most grateful.
Here the code that i'm working with:
