ActionScript 3.0 :: Carriage Returns In XML Attributes?

Feb 19, 2009

My XML looks like this...

<feature title="This is my /n features title"/>

I don't have access to change the schema.

In Flash I load the text content of the title attribute into a text field, problem is -- the prints instead of operating as a carriage return (new line).

Again, no access to the XML so changing the TextField to htmlText and adding a <br/> tag wont work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Cannot Get The Carriage Returns And Tabs Stripped From XML

Dec 22, 2009

why i cannot get the carriage returns and tabs stripped from my XML. I guess the only drawback at this point is that i cannot form my xml file nicely and am stuck placing all my node text on one line.

So far here is what i have tried without any luck;

ActionScript Code:
var subXml:XML  = new XML();
subXml.ignoreWhitespace = true;
subXml = new XML(e.target.data);

[Code].....

I am otherwise at a loss as to why it's leaving the tabs returns etc. in my textFields when i populate them with the node data.

Flex :: Disable Carriage Returns Within An Editable TextArea?

Aug 2, 2011

I am simply wanting to stop a user entering carriage returns in a TextArea. I have been experimenting with the 'restrict' property in the TextArea but cant seem to work it out.I have the following code:

<mx:Canvas id="cvs1" label="Panel 1" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete"addEvtListnerOnPlaceText()" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:TextArea id="txtP1T1" x="10" y="176" text="{placeName}" width="210" textAlign="center" color="#DC0000" restrict="this is where I need some help"/>
</mx:Canvas>

I've now managed to get something working:

private function addEvtListnerOnPlaceText():void{
txtP1T1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEventDown);
txtP1T1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyEventUp);

[code]....

The only issue now is that if you hold return down, it clears the first carriage return and then keeps adding as long as you hold it down. I need a way to stop this happening without just losing focus on the text area.

ActionScript 3.0 :: SelectionActivePosition Doesn't Recognize Carriage Returns?

Jun 4, 2010

I've got an app where I'm grabbing the currently highlighted text from the user in a RichEditableText block and I've noticed that when the user highlights a selection after a carriage return that selectionActivePosition and selectionAnchorPosition return values that don't count the carriage return, even though when I slice the corresponding text with the retrieved values, it does take the carriage return into account and therefore returns a value shifted one character to the left for each carriage return appearing earlier in the text.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Restricting Carriage Returns In Text Input Fields?

Aug 23, 2009

it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input fields? I've tried something like this:my_txt.restrict="^u0013", and a bunch of variations thereof, but nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing. Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck looking for or . I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic textfield set to input, but when I try this:

ActionScript 3.0 :: How Ever Load Always Returns True And Write Always Returns False

Nov 4, 2011

I have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Object Attributes From XML / Sub-attributes

Jun 29, 2009

I am dynamically creating a number of objects (movieclips) which all have a number of attributes.[code]and so on. i.e sub attributes. I don't think this is possible? Only sprite and movieclips can have dynamic attributes so unless atrbY is a movieclip (which it isn't, it's a string) it isn't allowed?Each object can have suboptions with further attributes associated with the chosen suboption.Later in the program I will manipulate, read and interact with the objects and they have text display behaviours dependent on the suboption chosen. That part (should) be straightforward! heh. One the object has the attributes attached in a usable format, accessing them should be simple.This will be for a store. i.e t-shirt1 has size small, price 10, size medium, price 12, size large, price 14. t-shirt2 has size medium, price 35, size large, price 40 and so on.[code]

This format of the XML can be adjusted if it would make the parsing easier.I am currently reading the XML in, stepping through, grabbing the individual parameter such as category and then adding it as an attribute of the object and it works fine. i.e. I end up with obj.category = 'catname'. However, on suboptions I am having a problem.Should I put all the suboptions in a multidimensional array and use nested loops to apply them to the object?I would still have the problem of objX.suboptionarray[Y].suboptionprice which isn't allowed? In the above XML case Y would be 0,1 and 2 giving 3 suboptions to objX and each suboptions would hold attributes such as pvid associated with that suboption.I could go down the horrible route, obj1.suboption1subptionprice ; obj1.suboption1suboptionpname; obj1.suboption1suboptionvalue; obj1.suboption2suboptionprice; obj1.suboption2suboptionpname and so on and so on for each suboption which could be five options (small,medium,large,x-large, xx-large) and which would "work" but would be bad programming and involve splicing names to get say, the "third" suboptions' price and pvid e.t.c

Going down the route of mutidimensional arrays sounds good except that on say 50 objects I would have stacks of arrays which I'm guessing isn't great in terms of resources?.Just to add, the number of suboptions varies between object, every object has a minimum of one suboption (default option) but can have as many as needed (unlikely to be more than 5 but should be scalable). i.e some t-shirts only come in medium whereas some have many sizes.I have a fair amount of leeway on the format of the XML which I generate from the database so the formatting of that could change to make the parsing easier.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Menu Navigation System - Dropdown Appears And Returns When The Dropdown Returns

Jul 15, 2004

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.

It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.

XML :: Admin Panel - Big Spaces Between Phrases (Carriage Return)

Feb 8, 2011

I am developing an admin panel for an flash site. One of the sections contains large amount of text containing Carriage Returns. It can look as this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.

So from the text area the text goes to mysql and from mysql I generate an XML file. The problem is the xml file source is looking like this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974. &#13;
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996. &#13;

This way in flash the text has some big spaces between phrases and I dont like it. How to generate XML file to be like this :
John Doe was born in Athens in 1974.
He studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts and he presented his first solo exhibition in 1996.

Actionscript 3 :: TextField - Unwanted Carriage Return When Setting Value To ""?

Jan 8, 2010

I have an input TextField and have a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN even listener on the stage to listen for the Keyboard.ENTER event. The event listener adds the entered text to an array or whatever, and then clears the TextField. The problem is that when the Enter key event fires and the TextField value is set to "", it leaves a carriage return in the TextField and the cursor positioned on the second line. WTF? I've been coding AS2 and AS3 for a LONG time and have never ran into this before.Example:

var myTextArray:Array = new Array();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
function onKeyDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
