ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Naming TextFields Created Using Loop?
Jan 17, 2011what is the syntax for assigning names to textfields created dynamically using a loop.
Code:
for (var i:uint=0; i<10; i++) {
var myText:TextField = new TextField();
myText.defaultTextFormat = textFormat;[code]....
As expected, this code gives me a warning "Duplicate variable definition".How can I assign names dynamically (myText1, myText2, myText3...)?
Actionscript 3 :: Flash Cs5 - Embedded Fonts Not Appearing In Created Textfields?
Mar 22, 2012I would like to preface this wall of text by saying, I am very new at this. I may be missing something obvious. I'm working in Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I'm trying to use actionscript to create a textfield, and populate it with text. I've embedded my font in my project using the "Font Embedding" window. However, when the code to create the textfield is run, if "embedFont = true;", the font is invisible. The cursor still changes when hovering over it, so I know it's there. Or at least its text box is, I guess. Dynamic textfields with embedded text which are already on the stage seem to be unaffected.
I've tried changing the embedded fonts outline format, neither work. I've tried directly embedding the font with the "embed" tag via actionscript, but it doesn't seem to work with CS5, or I don't know what I'm doing. As you can see in the code provided, I've tried "registering" the font, with no success. I've tried using:

Flash - What's The Definition Name For Fonts Loaded At Runtime Created With Fontswf
Apr 11, 2011I ran into the 'fontswf' utility to embed TTF fonts into SWF and I am struggling to load them at runtime from my app. All the examples I find online refer to loading the font via [Embed] but I am actually loading them with a flash.display.Loader and from what I gather, once the Loader.contentLoaderInfo fires an Event.INIT I need to register the font, like so:
public function handleLoaderComplete( event:Event ):void {
var FontClass:Class = event.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition( fontName );
Font.registerFont( FontClass );
}
The problem is I don't know what to pass in as fontName. I am generating my SWF through:
$ fontswf -a belshaw -o belshaw.swf belshaw.ttf
But when I try to call getDefinition( 'belshaw' ), I get an error saying 'Variable belshaw is not defined'. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?The alternative is to generate my on SWF files through templating an .as file and compiling them, but I would rather use a built in tool like fontswf if it's already there.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Update Dynamic Textfields From Xml At Runtime?
Aug 30, 2011Im having is that I cant update the information that I get from my XML file at runtime. I have some static textfields that updates just fine, but it�s the dynamic ones that don�t play nice.
The project is a small display that shows the amount of minutes that is left from the time set in the XML to the current time. I don�t want to bore you too much with the details of it all.
Heres the code! Right now though it doesnt update at all. Removed those bits of code since it got me nowhere

ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating Many Textfields And Adding Code At Runtime?
Oct 20, 2010I have a flash project that requires a swf file with over 300 textfields i.e a datasheet like in excel.i use actionscript 3 to dynamically add them at runtime.However I have a function calculate() that references them at compile time.So i think the problem is the caluclate() cannot find the textfields because they are still not added to the stage.How can i create them dynamically and after that add a function caluclate that will surely find the textfields?
Here is a code example of my work:
//add 50 textInput components

ActionScript 2.0 :: Applying CSS To Dynamically Created TextFields?
Sep 15, 2006a quick explanation of what I'm at... I'm working on something at the moment, basically what I have is an external textfile which contains several variables; I am loading these variables into flash using loadVariables().one of these variables invokes the script to create several buttons on the stage using for() and attachMovie(), and add onRelease() actions for each. when each button is clicked, a new textfield for that button is created on the stage.
the other loaded variables contain appropriately named html-formatted strings of text, which are then loaded into their respective, newly created textFields. pretty traightforward, and everything's working perfectly, the tags are being rendered etc. bold text is turning up bold and links are working correctly.but, I know nothing about CSS and flash! here's what I'm wondering... although my text is being rendered properly, I currently have no control over the style of my text, so it is rendering as black, times new roman etc. how can I apply CSS styles in order to control font size, type, colour etc.?does this entail attaching an external stylesheet, or can CSS styles be defined within the movie?here is my code at the moment:
PHP Code:
//
create box for textFieldfor loadingMsg_root.createTextField("loadingMsg", 20, 10,

ActionScript 3.0 :: BottomScrollV And TextFieldAutoSize - Dynamically Created TextFields?
Oct 15, 2009I'm currently creating an app which allows users to select blocks of text from a List and dynamically create a TextField on the stage.I'm calculating the height of the TextField and positioning the next TextField beneath.I'm also recording the total heights of the TextFields so that I know when the total height exceeds the available height, at which point I move the x position and reset to y position to zero.When the next TextField will exceed the available height I want to split it into two, so I'm calculating the remaining height, making the TextField.height into the remaining height.My problem arrives when I try to get the position of the last visible line.If I have the TextFieldAutoSize as LEFT, then I can dynamically generate the heights of the TextFields.For the final TextField in the column I need to set TextFieldAutoSize to NONE so I can change the height of the TextField. i.e. I don't want it to autosize.However, bottomScrollV returns the total number of lines, not the last visible line.I can create the required behaviour in a separate doc but when I copy the code into the loop it fails. Here is the code.[code].......

Jun 30, 2010I have made some changes to kirupa's thumbnail gallery, so instead of loading thumbnails into the scroller, I'd like it to load TextInput from a Node in the XML.
what I've come up with so far (simplified):
Code:
function numbering_fn(k) {
numbers_mc.createTextField("t"+k, numbers_mc.getNextHighestDepth(),20*k, 0,10,10);
numbers_mc.t[k].text = numbering[k] ;
[Code]....
in my understanding, since the loadXML function is still looping, it should create an empty TextField and then assign a .text Value to it.
Aparently it creates the required number of empty TextFields, but the "numbers_mc.t[k].text = "whatever Text";" -bite doesn't do the trick...
Flex :: Change The Style Property - TextInputStyleName Of A Combobox At Runtime?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Removing Movieclips Created At Runtime?
Mar 9, 2009I'm trying to remove movieclips created at run time using "createEmptyMovieClip" but I'm having a problem calling the "removeMovieClip" function. The difficulty seems to be that the string that I assign as the instance name of the new movie clip doesn't actually refer to the created clip when I try to call"removeMovieClip".
So the "removeMovieClip" function doesn't work if the target name is pulled from the array. My guess is that this has something to do with the values of the array being strings...and it does when I manually type Apple.removeMovieClip(); in because Apple is the movieclip object name. How do call the "removeMovieClip"function using a var as the target?

Flex :: Dynamically Bind Properties Of Components Created At Runtime?

I realize that there are simpler ways to go about this particular example using traditional non-dynamic binding, but I need to understand it in terms of using bindProperty.

Difference Between The Flash Player Runtime And Adobe AIR Runtime?
Nov 16, 2009I've been into coding for about 5 years now, but I'm a recent convert to Flash development. One of the questions I have at the moment is, considering that SWF files can be run by either Adobe Flash Player OR Adobe AIR, what's the real difference between the two runtime environments? What API's and Objects exist in one environment, but not the other?
Basically what I'm more or less trying to establish is, when would I want to develop an SWF for AIR, and when would I want to develop for Flash Player, considering that Flash Player can also execute locally (providing support for creating "desktop applications")

ActionScript 3.0 :: System Resource Use - Flash Created Vs Photoshop Created?
Mar 14, 2009I have only one question but phrased it 3 ways:
1) Is it better to pre=render things say in photoshop or have flash render them?
2) if I have a field of stars that drift along; is it better to create that Star Field in photoshop as a single picture (say a .png) or to create a star in my library and add it to a movie clip and then have that drift along?
Lets say I have a blur effect on my stars and have an equivalent on the photoshop.
3) I have heard (and experienced) adding effects like blur takes a fair amount of CPU and memory so was wondering if I created the effect in photoshop and then imported the 'blurred' object into my flash if I could cut down on system resources?

Nov 8, 2010I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
