Actionscript 3 :: Draw Textfield Caret And Text Selection Onto Bitmap?
Jan 6, 2012I'm drawing a textfield onto a bitmap which I use as texture for a 3D object. I'm listening for Event.change, and so whenever the user adds a character I redraw the texture. But to really give the 3D object a 'interactive textfield feeling', I want to draw text selections and draw the caret (the blinking text cursor), but by default these a not drawn when using bitmapData.draw(textField), nor can I find a Event to listen for 'textSelected'.
//is there any event that catches text selection / blinking of text-cursor?
textField.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, redrawTexture);
//...
//is there any way to draw text selection / text-cursor in the bitmap?
bmpData.draw(textField);
ActionScript 3.0 :: Set The Focus Back To The Textfield And Put The Caret At The End Of The Textfield?
Jul 24, 2011I 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"?

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - TextField Caret Does Not Display?
Dec 13, 2009I am trying to display a text field that has text inside it, and display the flashing Caret at the end of the text. I have tried the following:
Code:
// ti_title is my textField
stage.focus = ti_title;
ti_title.setSelection( ti_title.length, ti_title.length );
[code]....
The field is focused because I can type into it, but I do not see a Caret until I have started typing. This is not very good for usability.
I have even tried removing text then re-adding it and then setting the selection again, but still not working.
Actionscript 3.0 :: How To Add Pictures To Caret Point In Textfield
Jan 19, 2010I am trying to make a textfield that I can add a picture to the caret point -- the problem is that I don't know what the caret point is in the HTML text -- my technecue for dealing with it is to search out a string that is next to my caret point -- as you can imagine this has problems. Like if the caret point is next to a bold tag or if there is two of the strings -- so I was trying to see if anyone new a better way to add pictures to a textfield
index is the caret number

ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Caret (cursor) Position In A TextField From A KeyEvent
May 15, 2011I'm building part of an UI that suggests certain words based on to the user's input. (Quit like Google's suggestions) It works quite well but one detail bothers me: When I have a list of suggestions I highlight the list-items by listening to the arrow up and down keys. When the fist element is highlighted, and the user presses the up arrow, I want the cursor to be in the Text(Input)Field again, but at the last position.
(I removed the focus from the InputField not to move the cursor in my singel line field to the first position when the up-arrow is pressed)
I set the cursor to the last Position using setSelection() but as it is the field receives the key-press after my event callback is executed and the pressing of the up-arrow in a single line field does what it always does, it places the cursor at the first position.
I considered using the CHANGE event, but as the arrow key does not actually change the content of the TextField, that is not working. Still I think that the solution might be along that way, as the CHANGE event is/would be at the end of the event-chain, where I need to do the repositioning of the cursor.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Custom Format For A TextField Text?
Aug 23, 2009I've created a custom format for a TextField text as below:
Code:
var _format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var _font:Font = new VerdanaPlain();
_format.font = _font.fontName;
_format.size = 12;
and then I've applied it to a TextField like so:
Code:
var _text:TextField = new TextField();
_text.setTextFormat(_format);
_text.text = "Here is some text";
and for some strange reason, the format does not seem to have any effect on the text in the text field. It still shows using default settings. And yes I have exported the font for linkage.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Does Highlighting The Text In Textfield Cause The Format To Change
Nov 20, 2009The movie I am working on has a dynamic text field which I setup and format in the constructor of the ActionScript 3.0 class code for the movie - I am working with CS3 Flash. I do not reformat the text field anywhere in the code after the constructor.The text displays in the text field perfectly as long as I do not highlight the text when running the movie.
If I highlight the text in the text box as if I were going to copy and paste, the next time text is written to the text field the font type and size changes. The only way to reset the font formatting is to restart the movie.
Is there a solution or workaround? Of course I can reformat the text everytime I write new text to the textfield, but during the course of the movie text is rewritten to the textfield many times.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting Number Of Lines Of Text In Log Style Textfield?
Mar 28, 2009I have a textfield that acts as a log in that it routinely gets messages added to it. I want to limit the number of lines the textfield can display - that is, if the textfield exceeds a certain amount of lines, the oldest lines that were added are removed and the rest of the lines of text are shifted up. Basically I'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this, as my technique seems inefficient:

// assuming parameter message is a string that ends in to add a line break.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Caret Position Out Of Sync With Text
Mar 25, 2009I've discovered a bug that is extremely confusing to me. Basically I have some text fields that are dynamically created, but once users start typing in them, the caret cursor slowly either falls behind the text your typing or sometimes get's way ahead of where your typing. The result is frustrating when you are trying to delete something because you aren't really sure where the caret actually is. I've attached some code that you can paste into an fla to reproduce the issue.

Jul 3, 2010i'm attempting to simply set the caret position at the start of the text flow when it is first displayed, without having to click and activate the text to see the blinking caret.
googling returns that the solution is to do this:
textFlow.interactionManager = new EditManager(new UndoManager());
textFlow.interactionManager.setSelection(0, 0);
however, setSelection() is not a valid function of the selection or edit managers.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Caret (flashing Cursor) When Focus On Text Field?
May 4, 2009I want to have the caret (flashing cursor) to appear when I set the focus to a text field. It works fine when the user clicks on the text field.
the following does not seem to work for me:
Code:
stage.focus = mytxtfield
mytxtfield.setSelection(mytxtfield.text.length,mytxtfield.text.length);
When I try this it merely focuses on my text field and no caret comes up! mytxtfield is the instance name of my input type textfield.
