ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Property To A Textfield?
Jan 21, 2012Adding properties to MovieClip is super easy.
I use myMc.index a lot of times. It is very handy for connecting MovieClips to other MovieClip via a dictionary.
Now I wanted to add an EventListener to a TextField. No problem. But how do I connect that TextField to another MovieClip?
myTextField.index doesn't seem to work.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Add A Custom Property To A Textfield?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Y Property Of Textfield?
Apr 16, 2010I was trying to create these 17 textfields in a for loop. I ended up instanciating them manually and now I am trying to set some of their properties in a for loop. The problem is that when I trace them I just see [object textfield] but not the names. If I try to trace the ".name" I get instance 1, instance 2, etc. The real problem is when I try to set the "y" property I get an error "1010 A term is undefined and has no properties"
Code:
var tf1:TextField = new TextField();
var tf2:TextField = new TextField();
var tf3:TextField = new TextField();

Flex :: TextField MaxScrollH Property Gets Set To 0 On Click
Sep 20, 2009I am populating a textfield programmatically and scrolling to the maxScrollH as the new text is added so the user can see the progression of text. This works fine, until I click the TextField, which sets scrollH back to 0 and places the caret in the text at the equivalent position.
textField.setSelection( text.length, text.length );
//sets the caretIndex/selection to the end
textField.scrollH = textField.maxScrollH;
//scrolls to max
This is the code that I am using to scroll when the textField text property is updated. I've tried adding a listener to the click event on the textField, which works in a way, but causes a visible jump.
override protected function createChildren() : void {
super.createChildren();
textField.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleTextFieldClick, false, 0, true);
} protected function handleTextFieldClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
textField.scrollH = currentTextFieldScrollPosition; //stored scrollH value
trace(textField.scrollH);
}
My guess is that there is a scroll position being calculated or stored someplace that I can't find.
Actionscript 3.0 :: Adjusting Alpha Property Of Textfield?
Jul 29, 2011I've seen a few posts about this, but nothing that explains this issue concretely. Can anyone tell me how to change the alpha of a textfield in Actionscript 3?, and more importantly a textfield that uses embedded text fonts? I've heard changing blendmode.
I know how to do this in Flash IDE, but not purely in code.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting TextField's 'text' Property Slow?
Apr 1, 2010Short version:Setting a TextField's 'text' property seems to be quite slow. Any way to optimize this?Long version:For a video player I'm working on, I've rewriting a bunch of code I've written in the past and optimizing where I can, and I've noticed something a bit strange.I have a time readout (the typical "00:00 / 01:00" thing) that I'm updating every frame, and it seems to be gobbling up FPS (I'm using mrdoob's great little Stats class for monitoring).The thread to make the call is a bit heavy -- involving a dispatched custom event from the FLVPlayer class (with the current netStream.time as a property) onEnterFrame, which is passed up 2 parents and then back down via a function call -- but I've isolated each step along the way and everything is totally fine (running at or close to 30fps) right up until that very last call where I set the TextField.text property, which results in about a 10fps drop.
If I comment out the setting of TextField.text it runs great, but even if I set it to something arbitrary (like currentTime.text = "0") -- bypassing the reformatting math -- it just tanks.Anyway, anyone know if there's something I can do about this? I've considered using a Timer set to 100m instead of onEnterFrame, but I actually assumed the overhead would come from the dispatching of and listening to the event as well as the reformatting of the time, but *not* the very last step of setting the .text property, which is something I can't avoid whether I use a Timer or onEnterFrame.

here's a small piece of code i can't get working:

bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..
ActionScript 3.0 :: Anchor Tags In Htmltext Property Of TextField Causes New Lines In Text?
Jun 24, 2009I have some HTML loaded from an XML document that includes web links (anchor tags). I am using a TextField object to display the text, and am plugging the XML data into the htmlText property of the TextField, and the text is rendering with HTML markup, links are working etc.
The problem I'm seeing is that a new line is created before and after the link, so html like this:
hello world <a href ="#">this is a link</a> and all of this should be on the same line.
is rendered like this (with specific attention paid to the new lines): Does anyone know of a way to prevent these new lines from appearing when using HTML links within a TextField?
Actionscript 3 :: Set The EmbedFonts Property Of The Textfield To True The Text Doesn't Show Up
May 14, 2010I have some issue with the [embed] tag. Even if I set the embedFonts property of the textfield to true the text doesn't show up.The thing is that it worked previously and after some changes (not related to fonts) it doesn't. I'd like to understand how the embed process for font works to find the error in my code.
I declare :
[Embed(source = 'asset/font.ttf', fontName="font", mimeType="application/x-font-truetype")] private static var font:String;
to assign the font to the program.Then i call "font" when declaring my textFormat. Is the "fontName" property the link with the textformat ?I work with flashdevelop and the flex_sdk_4.0.0.14159 (the big adobe one, with air (~140mo))

Actionscript 3 :: Flash ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot Create Property Font On Flash.text.TextField
Mar 1, 2011First let me warn you that I'm "old school" i.e. code is on my timeline and the only classes used were those automatically created when I added several new fonts to Script1.swf which is my movieclip for embedded fonts.
On the first frame of my main movieclip which is named Round.fla, I have loaded Script1.swf that contains the fonts using the loader object. I'm using a trace statement that shows that Script1_lb.swf is loaded.
I am using a listbox (script1_lb) with movieclip icons (jpg picture of the sample font) and the data is the name of the font class, like this: script1_lb.dataProvider.addItem( {icon:akaDora_mc, data:"akaDora"} );

Jan 9, 2011Lately i discovered MATE (for Flex development) and was wondering: how do i bind a property in a view (actually a navigatorcontent component) to another property in a class so that they stay in synchronization (meaning that whenever the property in the class changes the property in the view also changes).
So if we have a view called Target.mxml and a property targertProp how do we bind it to the class called SourceClass with property SourceProp?

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Getting The Value Of A Property Within Another Property Via Square Bracket Notation
Nov 29, 2011I have a class Inhabitant with a property skin which is of type DisplayObject.
Within Inhabitant I need to access the x and y properties of skin using this method:
this["someProperty"];
Rather than:
this.someProperty;
This is fine with properties defined within Inhabitant but I'm not sure how I could do this for a property of skin. This obviously doesn't work but it might give you an idea of what I'm trying to do:
this["skin.x"];
The reason behind requiring this notation is that I have a function which I can parse a String though that will represent a property:
public function addTokenable(property:String):void
{
if(!isTokenable(property))
_tokenables[property] = true;
}
And then a related getter that will return a representation of this instance of Inhabitant as a String:
public function get token():String
{
_token = "class:" + getQualifiedClassName(this).split("::").join(".");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Changing Background Color Of TextField When Said TextField Is Selected By User?
May 5, 2010I 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.
