ActionScript 3.0 :: CSS Styles Not Applying To Text?
Jul 24, 2009
I'm importing XML text and sticking it in a text field. The text has some <span> tags with classes. Also importing a CSS file (verifying that it is importing correctly - at least when I trace it it says [object StyleSheet] - can I trace styles within a stylesheet? Or do an "exploded" trace that shows me everything in the stylesheet?)
Here's the key data:
AS (note default formatting, content, etc is working perfectly)
Code:
textBody = new TextField();
textBody.embedFonts = true;
textBody.wordWrap = true;
[Code].....
So theoretically I should have a few big words and a few small words among my otherwise mid-sized text, but the styles are having no effect.
Is there a way to verify that there are actually style in the stylesheet object (though why there wouldn't be I don't know....

I'm very close to finishing the creation of a Flash Event Calendar app but I am having trouble with something I feel should be very easy. I'm adding text to a textbox dynamically based on how many events are on the selected day.
For some reason though the styles are only being applied to the last set of text being added. for example, if there are three events on a certain day, i will list the three events but only the 3rd event will have the styling. If there's 2 events that day, the 2nd event will have styling, if there's 10 events, the 10th event will have the styling. Why are they not all being styled and only the last one?

I'm having a strange issue with the Arial font in Flash CS4. I can create a text box and choose the Arial font. That appears to look like regular Arial text. However, if I want to choose a style (italic, bold, bold italic) the text does not change at all. These fonts are loaded on my system and always have been. They work in Flash CS3 and they work in all other programs including Illustrator and Photoshop CS4. In addition to that, all other fonts seem to work just fine including Arial Narrow and the other general system fonts. Arial Narrow allows me to select and apply all the available styles. It seems to be specific to Arial.
This also happens when I open a file that was originally created in CS3 or Flash 8. The font mapping notification does not appear, but if I had a text box that is supposed to be Arial Bold Italic, it automatically changes to look like regular Arial.

I have the following code to create and apply a few styles for a custom TextArea in ActionScript 3.
public class MyCustomTextArea extends TextArea
{
override protected function createChildren():void
{
[code]....
I have two problems with this code.this.styleSheet is always null when I create an instance of the class. If this.styleSheet is initialized to new StyleSheet() to avoid this issue, then the TextArea instance does not seem to recognize any of the HTML tags that can be used with the htmlText property.

I need to assign styles (bold, italic, ...) to chunks of text in a textfield with embedded fonts (defaultTextFormat) wich is XML loaded:- HTML tags: simply ignored- CSS: Error #2009: This method cannot be used on a text field with a style sheet.at flash.text::TextField/set defaultTextFormat()
I guess I'm ignoring something obvious, it can't be so difficult!

I know that I can use CSS styles with HTML-formatted text in Actionscript. I have TextField, and there is HTML-text such as b and p tags. I want to change styles of those elements. I know a lot of CSS, but I don't know how to use it with Actionscript 3 and Flash. Here's my code.

I want to highlight different RANGES of text with different styles. (for instance, make character 1-10 bold, 15-18 italic, etc..)
TextRange looks like the appropriate tool, but when I loop through, and create multiple TextRanges for each area/style, the resulting display only appears to show the last one.
Code:
for (var counter:Number=0; counter < testVtt.markUps.length; counter++)
{
var m:MarkUp=testVtt.markUps[counter];

When applying text formatting to a comboBox, the text formatting appears perfectly on the dropdown menu items but the textField text disappears.Removing the text formatting from the textField makes the textField text reappear but of course there is no text formatting.
Is there a trick to this.

The goal is to being able to parse "<span style="color: #ff6600;">text</span>" that kind of tag, and apply styles from it. I know that TLF does not support CSS. I found in some example files for TLF a class that implements "IFormatResolver" and is doing its job in case of external CSS, but is there any clean way to parse style information that is inside (of tag)?

I'm converting an old Captivate 4, Actionscript 2 GoToSlide widget to Captivate 5 and Actionscript 3.The FLA file of the old widget when opened in Flash has Actionscript 2 code including the following extract sitting at top level of the file timeline. The third last line of the following evidently controls the colour of the text on rollover:
mc.onRollOver = function() {
this._parent._visible = true;

it is possible to change text styles of single words or lines within a textfield with actionscript. I use an empty textfield and add my text to that field in actionscript with the following code:
myTfield.text = "insert text here"
the text contains multiple lines and I want some of them to be bold, italic or a bigger font size. The reason why I am adding my text to my textfield this way is because I need the text in the textfield to change when some buttons are pressed. Text will be added or removed from the textfield if buttons are pressed by the user and the current way I'm changing the text is by simply re-using the code above with new text in it. (it makes the code quite long though, but I guess I'll have to deal with that)But because I'm adding text this way I am not sure how to change the style of different parts of the text.
On a related note, with CS5 there are now a number of options for textfields. There is TLF text and classic text. I've searched around for the differences but I don't find the awnsers very clear. What option should I use for my textfield if I want it to look sharp like the text I'm typing here (its just regular text, no headers or anything). Some options just give blurry text because of the anti-alias and some settings don't seem to change a thing. And at times embedding fonts looks nice but sometimes it makes it worse. There are so many options to choose from, but it is unclear what would work best for regular text. (my text won't animate, it does move with a scrollbar, but I only care about how it looks when the scrollbar is still)

I am interested in applying text to each side of the cube.I feel like anything is possible with AS3.I have tried attaching the text at various points in the code to see what happens.I am at a point where I think maybe I need to write a separate threeD var for the text and attach that to each of the cubes sides.I am attaching the code in it's current state, which simply has text var "Can You See" placed in the middle with the cube rotating around it.he code is a bit long with comments to sort things out:
import flash.display.*;import flash.text.*;
var t:TextField = new TextField();t.x = 400;t.y = 350;t.text = "Can You See";t.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();format.font

First an issue applying antialiasing to my text, it seems to not be used if the text color is anything but white. The second also regards the cell renderer. I've noticed a difference in the sharpness/brightness of text color (excluding the smoothed character edges) when enabling font embedding, do the rendering tecniques include a sort of blending with the background to less enthe text's visual impact?

I'm making an interface with quite a few dynamically generated instances of the Button component. I'm trying to animate the buttons' alpha. The graphical elements in the buttons change alpha as expected, but the text label does not. I thought this issue would be fixed simply by using setStyle() to specify an embedded font, but even with an embedded font I cannot alter the alpha.

I am wondering how to apply perspective to a dynamic/static text field in CS3? I have tried a few ways, but I can't get farther than skewing. This is the pane on which I would like to place the text. Could someone tell me if there is a way to get the same perspective?

In a mc is a dynamic textfield, trough as this textfield gets his content. The textfield works fine and also the html text displays/works as supposed. No problem at all. But now I put a rollOver/Out on this mc with the textfield, the text shows up allright, but the html doesnt work anymore (I mean the hyperlinks, the rest is okay)
Code:
textmc.textarea.html = true;
textmc.textarea.htmlText = "<a href='[URL]'>link here</a>"
textmc.onRollOver = function() {
trace("hover on textfield");
};
textmc.onRollOut = function() {
trace("going off textfield");
};
So the problem is the rollOn/Out, if I comment out those functions everything is okay...

I'm just starting to delve into AS, so this should be easy. I'm applying a simple alpha fade to the onEnterFrame event of a movie clip using AS, and inside that movie clip there is a dynamic text box that gets its content from an XML file. The fade works fine on everything except the text - the whole movie clip fades in, but the text just instantly "jumps into existence".

The language reference says "Name of CSS style declaration that specifies styles for the tabs. The default value is undefined." But, what is the "type" of style that is being used? That is, what style properties can I put in that style definition.
For example, I wish to set the disabledColor of the text on the tab. I couldnt seem to do it. Worse, I haven't been able to find out what I can do!

I am trying to define a CSS style dynamically. how to get around hard-coding the values this way:
code: var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.setStyle("mainBody", {color:'0xff0000, fontSize:12});
I tried something like this, but it isn't working:
code: var styles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
styles.setStyle("mainBody", {color:colorVariableFromParentMovie, fontSize:sizeVariableFromParentMovie});

I am trying to get my Trebuchet font working for several different styles in a single fla. I am using Flash CS5 and AS3, but I mustpublish it in flash player 9, so TLF-text is out. I am really confused and irritated by this.The fields are placed on the stage manually and must be able to handle htmlText.I embed all 3 fonts in the library but it doesnt work. If I only use one of the fields, and therefore only one style, it works great.

I inherited a custom component from TextField. The component needs to know when any of its styles got changed at runtime via setStyle. How would I do that? It's probably obvious but I couldn't find an event or appropriate method to override.

In MXML, there is a Button class which you can instantiate like so:
<mx:Button id="something />
But what if you wanted to dynamically build this in AS3 and add it to the Flex app dynamically, without the use of components (just AS3) and then modify Flex's styles, for example, here you access the Button's properties and set them:
var btn:Button = new Button();
btn.height = 50;
btn.width = 75;
btn.x = 100;
btn.y = 40;
But how would you go about changing the Style, for example:
btn.downSkin = "something";
btn.color = "0xfffff";
I'm sort of starting to lean towards making a flex component in MXMLand than just making it visible true/false, but I like the fact that i create an object in AS3 and then destroy it when I don't need it anymore, than create it again once needed.
