ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic TextField With HTML 1 XML CDATA?

May 14, 2007

I am trying to avoid having to unescape URL encoded XML nodes by using a CData node element. It is a hassle to URL encode the html to put into the XML which is then read into Flash.This is what I have so far:

Code:
//Create XML with HTML 1.0 tags
myXML = new XML('<![CDATA[<p>This is a paragraph<br><a href='http://www.amazon.com'><b><u>Link to Amazon</u></b></a></p>]]>');
//
//Create dynamic html textfield

[code]....

I know that Flash does not fully support CData, but I'm sure there has to be some workaround.I did try sending the XML toString() but that didn't change anything.

htmlXML=myXML.toString();//create var for conversion from xml to string

I want the textfield to render the HTML--not just display the tags.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Does CDATA Text In A TextField Show Up In CS4?

Aug 21, 2009

1. Create a new Dynamic Text field.

2. Set its htmlText like this:

text1.htmlText = '<![CDATA[This text used to show up in CS3.]]>';

I see nothing.(Which is bad for the large department-wide content management system we just converted to CS4.)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Inline XML With CDATA Error #1091: XML Parser Failure: Unterminated CDATA Section?

Aug 25, 2008

I'm trying to include some JavaScript (JSON 2, to be precise)in with some ActionScript 3 classes. I'm using the inline XML method (E4X) of declaring the data. It looks like this:

public static var JSON_2:XML = <data><![CDATA[
if (!this.JSON) {
JSON = function () {[code]....

Actually, this is only about a quarter of what I need to include but this is where it breaks down. Right after the second slash in the last line, Flash reports: TypeError: Error #1091: XML parser failure: Unterminated CDATA section.

In fact, as you can see this is a perfectly valid CDATA section and isn't being terminated anywhere (there is no instance of "]]>" anywhere in the data). Unfortunately, Flash doesn't think so and seems to think that the backslash is an XML node directive. how to effectively deal with this? The JSON source code has *many* backslashes so not having to convert them would be *very* useful.

ActionScript 3.0 :: CSS Style Not Applying To Any TextField

Jan 17, 2010

I have 3 clips on my stage each containing a textfield into which I load 3 html files. I seem to have this part working fine, however the css I have loaded is not being applied to any text field. Not sure why. I am sure the fonts are embedded correct also. I have attached all the relevant files if needed. Ignore the scrollbars. They are the next challenge.

ActionScript Code:
//load the style sheet
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
cssLoader.load(new URLRequest("files/mici.css"));
cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, cssLoaded);
cssLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change The Style Of Single Words In A Textfield?

Jan 9, 2011

I have a question about textfields and I'm wondering if 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)

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField - Text To Go Away And Change The Style To Black / Unitalicized

Dec 23, 2009

I have an input text field, it's grey and italic - it says "Enter album name here". When it's clicked I want the text to go away, and change the style to black/unitalicized so the user can enter some text. Here is my event function that triggers on mouse up. The text format changes properly if I set the text to "hi", but *not* if I set the text to the empty string... Is this a bug? My experiences with Flash thus far have been far from impressive for such an expensive piece of software. Maybe I am overlooking something...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting Number Of Lines Of Text In Log Style Textfield?

Mar 28, 2009

I 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:

Code:
const MAX_LOG_LINES:int = 50;
// assuming parameter message is a string that ends in to add a line break.
function addText(message:String):void

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic MovieClip Scroller (Left To Right Style)

May 9, 2006

I am building a dynamic movie clip scoller in flash the swf at the moment returns all the images from the db using an asp page and does display them side by side! I am using a method of loading that I am not 100% sure about as I need to make the whole thing scroll left to right style....and right to left....

The code for this loading is ..
myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
function loadPics() {
myY = 0;
myX = 0;
for (i=0; i<=_root.image_array_length-1; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("image", "image"+i, i);
this["image"+i]._x = myX;
etc...

Now when I am making this scroll I am confused as to what to target to make scroll - the 'image' movieclip is in the library and uses linkage identifer of 'image' for the script... and also seems to sit on the highest layer/depth each time....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Send Data From Dynamic Text Field On Stage To Dynamic Textfield In Mc?

Sep 28, 2010

I 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?

IDE :: Dynamic Textfield Rendering ?

Feb 28, 2008

I have a flash file that loads dynamic text from a text file. When you press the space bar, it animates the text upward like movie credits. It works fine until I add more than 50 lines or so, at which point it delays showing the text until it's well into its scrolling.the kink here is that it only displays this error when it plays in fullscreen mode (which it is set to do by default, and what I need). if I escape out to window mode, it plays the text animation just fine.

IDE :: Opening URL From Dynamic TextField

I have an external text file I use to load captions for my slideshow I'm using to present images in my portfolio I'm making for my senior seminar class. I want it to open up a url to show an expanded image of the thumbnail I added.

In my external text field I have three things:
&caption1=Problem: Create a photo with things that typically don't go together
&credit1=Solution: Taking photos and using Photoshop to create a unique photo
&software1=Software: Photoshop CS3

I thought if I added a 4th dynamic text field (url_txt) and used &url1= for each cite it would load. I even made the field render text as HTML but it doesn't work.
