I'm wondering whether it's possible to generate alias text in dynamic textfields, similar to setting text to "Bitmap text" when doing so manually. If so how would it be coded? I don't see any TextFormat properties that allow for such a thing.

anti alias for animation

I created the textfield through actionscript instead of placing a textfield on stage.
Code:
var myTextField:TextField = new TextField();
myTextField.text = "Hello World"
addChild(myTextField);
I have a movie with some dynamic text, which is embedded and has aliasing turned on -- it is crisp. This text field is behind a mask that I created using setMask so the text appears. The problem happens when I publish my movie as player version 6. When I do this, the text looks as if the field was on an odd pixel, for example x = 60.4. But it's not.
View 8 Replieswhen adding a mask to a parent sprite with a dynamic text field, the text loses anti-aliasing. how can i maintain the text's anti-alias while still applying a mask to its parent, and subsequently to itself.the font is embedded, and the text field will be animated so it must also be masked along with its parent.

I have a textfield with dynamic text which I populate with text via actionscript. The textfield is set to anti-alias for readability but when I change the text in actionscript it is not ant-aliased anymore. I tried enforcing it with
createAccount.embedFonts = true;
createAccount..antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
When timeline animating in the Flash IDE, you can set the anti-aliasing of a TextField to Anti-alias for Animation. This seems to turn off pixel snapping and allow for smooth animation of the TextField.
I can't seem to find anyway to access this property via code
i have a movieclip and inside this movieclip i have a textfield the text field has anti-alias for animation and characters embedded. the movieclip undergo - scaleX,scaleY & alpha changes. is this the cause of the jagged/pixelate texts or am i missing something important to make it look great?
View 7 RepliesI have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
I have a dynamic textfield that loads text from a txt file. The content of the txt file will be modified daily by the client.What i need is that if there is too much text in the txt file, the dynamic textfield resizes (and not only with autosize because the text can be really long).[code]it doesnt look very good but it works. The only problem is that if I have a really long text the maxsizeY doesnt work fine.
View 1 RepliesI wonder if it is possible at all to anti-alias text fields with the HTML property set to true.
Currently I already have an operation HTML text field with embedded font which loads an external CSS for styling.
If we place a dynamic text box on the stage manually, we can set the anti-alias for readability, for animation, use device fonts, etc. How can these attributes be added to a text box dynamically created with code?I looked up anti alias in help and there appears to just be normal and advanced options?
View 3 RepliesI have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text. For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular line of text get cut off. I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the _height Property but it doesn't make a difference. I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font looks a little different as well.

View 2 RepliesWell I have this dynamic textfield on stage, and it receives a String using FileReference.name. So far, so good.
I wanna know if it's able to make flash 'cut' some extra text from long strings and show ellipsis instead.
I mean, if it receives "ABCDEFGHIJ", if the string exceeds the textfield width, it would show "ABCDE..."

View 1 RepliesSome of the dynamic text fields in my application stopped working. This is part of a major application which I have been working on for a few months. It worked fine until today. 3 different dynamic text fields suddenly do not show text when I set the text from actionscript This is what I tried:
1) Tried with and without text embedding
2) Turned on and off html
3) Tried with .text and .htmlText
4) Removed the TextField and added a new one
5) Added static text into the dynamic TextField and did not add the dynamic text with actionscript --> the initial text appeared I am working with CS3 and recently updated. I am considering deleting Flash and not running the update.
how i can load a piece of text from a Url into a dynamic textfield? Im working with AS 2.0 in flash CS3. My goal is to load a name into a dynamic textfield which can be changed in the browser. if you change the name in de navigation bar of your browser the name in the flashmovie also changes.

I have no problem dynamically loading text if I place a textField on the stage but I can't seem to get the following to work using the createTextField. I shortened my code to make it easier to read and still show what I am trying to do. Also I can I place the text within the BlueMenu or only on top of it? Is so how?
Code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import flash.filters.*;

View 8 RepliesI'm working with swf's generated by InDesign CS5, which will apparently only export text as staticText objects. Is it possible to alter the anti-alias of staticText? I want to make it for readability, but it defaults to animation with no apparent way of changing it. I recently got help for textFields, but I can't seem to get it to work on staticText.
View 2 RepliesBut now in Flash CS5 the new font embedding window is changed, and there is no Bitmap text checkbox, so how am I to create dynamic Text Fields with ActionScript, and embed the fonts in them using Bitmap text [no anti-alias]?
View 4 RepliesI want to be able to apply non-style attributes to sections of text in a TextField. For example characters 30-45 will be set to animate in a certain direction.
As this field is editable characters 30-45 may no longer be at 30-45 if the text is edited in any way.
way to keep track of which characters had the attributes applied to them?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to load text into a dynamic text field, and if yes how could I do this? I've searched a few tutorials on dynamic text fields but it concentrates on scrolling. I would like unique text to load in the dynamic text field depending on which navigation button I click on.
(i.e. I click on "button1" and "blabla1" text appears in the text field. I click on "button2" and blabla2" text appears in the same text field.)
