ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Display TLFTextField And Class Prompt
Mar 12, 2011
I've read an XML file with various fields. I want to display one XML field in one TLFTextField and another XML field in another TLFTextField when a button is clicked. One text field has the product name the other has the product description.
This is the code but I can't seem to display anything, much less even trace any of the text string variables
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flashx.textLayout.accessibility.TextAccImpl;
[Code]....
I'm also getting a prompt when I compile that says:
"Your content will not stream. Runtime Shared Library (RSL) preloading will require all of your content to download before the first frame will play.
To prevent this you can change the Runtime Shared Library Library Settings in the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog which can be raised from the Publish Settings dialog.
The Runtime Shared Libraries being preloaded are:
textLayout_1.0.0.595.swz for TLF Text"

Can anyone tell me what's the problem with this code ?
PHP Code:
var dataTextField:TLFTextField=new TLFTextField();
addChild(dataTextField);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void
[Code]...
it's a preloading code and it's simple, the code used to be with "TextField" and it worked OK, then I changed it to be with "TLFTextField" class but it doesn't work now. Maybe the solution is simple but I'm not familiar with the new "TLFTextField" class

I'm making a Flash game which will be up on Facebook, I'm using Python/Django on the backend but to talk to Facebook. I use the Facebook Flash API. The problem is when I ask for extended permission from the user, using FBML. I get a link which I have to click and get the permission. How can I make sure a popup appears instead of the link. I'm using the following code.<fb:prompt-permission perms="publish_stream">permission</fb:prompt-permission>

Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)

I'm trying to build a shuffle function that somebody gave me into my card game. I two external .as classes; one is Shuffle.as, which is my document class, and the other is card.as. I'm building the shuffling function into Shuffle.as. I think I'm getting close to making it work, but there are some problems. I keep getting this error message: "5000: The class 'Shuffle' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type." Here is my code. Shuffle.as code

CS5 AS3 - TLFTextField are in use and a requirement. I have text fields that are dynamically changed by XML for different languages. I control the fonts (Embedded, but can vary by project builds). Characters are not mono-spaced.
I need to detect if the inserted text exceeds the fixed text's area. I only want to want fully displayed characters.
I do not want to use the 'length' method that just counts the characters in the text string.
I am building in some self test for all the fields used in a 30 language users CD with captioned movies and GUI screens.

I'm using Flash CS5. I've got an embedded font loaded from an external SWF. As far as I can tell, it's embedded properly - it used to work before I switched from the classic TextField - but I needed to switch because I need the advanced ligature support. My code is:
//setting up...
var text:TFLTextField = new TLFTextField();
text.width = 530;
text.height = 330;
[Code]....
Edit: Just tried to switch the font to Arial, and it fell back to Times New Roman again. So apparently the problem is not with the embedding, but with the way I assign the font - meaning this may be less complicated than I originally thought. Scratch that, Arial worked after I changed embedFonts to false.

All I want to do is get the formatting properties of a TLFTextField and apply it to another TLFTextField. This was simple using the classic TextField:
var textFormat:TextFormat = text1.getTextFormat();
text2.setTextFormat(textFormat);
TLFTextField has a getTextFormat and setTextFormat function, but they are both very buggy. getTextFormat only works if you change the selectable property to true, otherwise it generates a null object error. setTextFormat generates a NaN error when some of the properties of the TextFormat object are not null.
The TextLayoutFormat object is supposed to be used instead for TLFTextFields. You set the object by doing the following:
var text1:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
var textLayoutFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
var textFlow:TextFlow = text1.textFlow;
[Code]....
But this just returned null. Does anyone know how to get the TextLayoutFormat so I can apply it to another TLFTextField?

For my project I am using the following:FlashDevelop 3.3.4 RTMFlash Pro CS 5 (libraries only, no code)Some time ago we started using TLFTextfields. One of the things I had to do was include the tlfruntime.swc file from the Adobe Flash CS 5 folder in the FlashDevelop project. Note that I copied this file to the project folder and included it, I didn't just include the file straight from the CS5 path. I have since been given a new computer that has Flash CS 5.5. I recompiled one of my swf libraries in CS 5.5, and now when I run the program, I get:Illegal override of createTextLine in flashx.textLayout.compose.ComposeStateI figure the tlfruntime.swc being included in the FlashDevelop project is out of date and needs to be updated with the one from CS 5.5. So I copied the tlfruntime.swc from the CS 5.5 path, include it in the FlashDevelop project (instead of the older file), but now I get this:
Illegal override of softKeyboardActivatingHandler infl.text.container.TLFContainerController.Can anyone assist with what else I need to do to get TLFTextfields working again in CS 5.5?UPDATE: I have updated FlashDevelop to 4.0.1 RTM, and now I get this error:Illegal override of createGeometry in flashx.textLayout.elements.FlowGroupElement.

In the first frame, a MovieClip is created by ActionScript and placed on the main stage (This "MovieClip" actually uses a base Class called TextFieldHolder which extends MovieClip.) The Movie Clip has several TLFTextFields with instance names placed at various x/y positions in the MovieClip's first frame (the first frame has a stop(); ) Here is the trouble: When I try to change the values of the text fields in the Constructor of the TextFieldHolder class, I get an error that tells me that the TLFTextFields do not exist. I have found that I can access and change these text fields at any other time or place except for in the Constructor.The strange thing about this problem is that it does not occur in all of my projects.I am currently working on several different fla files and each one used TLFTextFields in the manner that I have described above. Almost all of them are displaying the problem, but some of the earlier ones are not.

I'm using flash cs5.5 and usually when i make a text field, the text is cut off by the width of the text field unless i autosize it, but with TLFTextField, it just resizes itself without me telling it to. How do i set the TLFTextField so that the text stays within a certain width and crops everything past that width?

Every step I take learning flash as3 reveals so many problems and most forum posts I read blame adobe and try to work around it.
I have a TFL dynamic text box and I just want to add a scroll bar to it, this is what I did:
-elderText is the instance name of the TFL text and it's value and existance changes eccording to users choises. -elderScrollBar is a scroll bar is a UIScrollBar component I added to library, and created an instance in stage. Both are removed from stage by code.
and this is the code:
addChild(elderText);addChild(elderScrollBar);
elderScrollBar.scrollTarget = elderText; // on this line the error occures
if I delete the last line there is no error and the scroll bar appears where it should but without functioning.

I've a assets swc file that contains several TLFTextField objects, each one with it's style (font, color, size).
I use the following code to set a link:
var text_tf : TLFTextField;
var url : String = "www.stackoverflow.com";
text_tf.htmlText = "<a href='http://" + url + "' target='_blank'>"+url+"</a>";
This works as expected, but it changes the color of the text to blue;
What's the easiest way to configure the color of the text, without having to recreate all the TLF mechanism (ContainerController, Configuration, TextLayoutFormat, TextFlow, ParagraphElement, LinkElement, SpanElement, ...);
I was expecting something like this to work:
text_tf.textFlow.linkNormalFormat = { color:0x00ffFF, textDecoration:TextDecoration.NONE };
text_tf.textFlow.linkHoverFormat = { color:0x00ffFF, textDecoration:TextDecoration.NONE };

We have a library with a bunch of TextFields inside MovieClips. During runtime, we make an instance of one of these, run getTextFormat on it to get the formatting, then create a bunch of TextFields in code and run setTextFormat on them to give them the same formatting.
I'm trying to do the same thing but with TLFTextFields. I have the following:
var text:TLFTextField = new classFromLib();
text.selectable = true; //required for getTextFormat to work, flash bug
textFormat = text.getTextFormat();
[Code]....
If I set textFormat.leading and textFormat.letterSpacing to null before I run setTextFormat, then everything works, but obviously the text fields don't get the leading and letter spacing that the one in the library had.

I have a movieclip that has in it a text field (TLFTextField) and in a lower layer I have drawn a square with stroke and fill.
When the movie starts, I call
Code:
btn.buttonMode = true;
But the mouse cursor is the regular arrow instead of a hand when I mouse over the button in the areas of the textField that has no text.
I've also tried calling buttonMode=true to the text field itself, but didn't work How can I make the cursor be a hand over the TLFTextField?
