In my movie, I have a dynamic textfield on the timeline starting the first frame and going to the end. At various points during the movie, I change the text in the textfield (and that works just fine), but I also want to change the font-size when I do that. I've tried using setTextFormat to a different TextFormat object, but that doesn't seem to work. Maybe someone has a better idea?
[Code]....
the idea it's to have a textfield of 200px width where the username gets loaded. The thing is that i need the font size to be as big as possible to fit in that textfield. So if the username is shorter the font size should increase if the username is longer the font size should decrease. So I am guessing i should be counting character and knowing how big each character is and then according to that make a mad algorithm to set the font size to make the text fit.
View 1 RepliesI have a textfield that is filled by a querystring.
example: http://www.domainname.com?dName=Michael+&+Mary+Heatherbaum
myTextfield.text=myQueryStrings.dName.toUpperCase();
If the persons name is only 3 letters I want the font size to be 120 but based on the amount of characters, I would like to shrink the font size in order to fit the whole name inside the text field. I was playing with autosize, but couldn't get it to work.
making a textfield font size auto adjust accordingly?

When i change the font size and font color i get the result i want.But when i try to change the font-family, or to make a part of text in italics or bold i fail to get what i want.I also tried this:
<font style="font-style:italic">my text</font>with no success
var tfNum_mc:MovieClip = tl.attachMovie("tfID","tfNum_mc_",tl.getNextHighestDepth());
If I'm to assign the above code to a dragDrop action. Is there a way to change the font size of tfNum_mc_.tf? I've tried;
tfNum_mc_.tf.size = 12;//did not work
var format1:TextFormat( = new TextFormat();
format1_fmt.size = 12;
tfNum_mc_.tf.setNewTextFormat(format1);//did not work
trying to build a Textfield dynamically in AS2/F8. I can't seem to get the text size to be larger than 127, and I am wondering if there is an upper limit when building them in AS. I have a class that has the following static method, which works well (for any size less than 127 apparently) If I pass in 200 as my nSize arg, when I trace(t.getTextFormat(0,1).size) i get 127 every time.
Code:
public static function makeTextbox(target, clipName, depth, w,h,fontSymbol, nColor,nSize,txValue){

How can I create in ActionScript a singleline textfield that automatically shrinks the textsize so that whatever string shall be displayed fits within the size of the textfield?
View 2 RepliesNot really a AS3 issue, but I'm having a bunch of trouble changing the font size in a text field that pulls data from and XML file. I've changed every font size with the css file, but it doesn't result in any changes with the swf. If it's really that simple the XML and CSS are both here. Or if more is needed, here is the entire project.

I'm using Flash CS5 and AS3. I've made a form using the library's "User Interface" object and I want to change the font size for the TextInput and TextArea fields but I can't find any option in their properties to change it.
I've tried this code
var myTextFormat: TextFormat = new TextFormat();myTextFormat.size = 14;email_txt.setStyle("textFormat", myTextFormat);
even though I don't get any error while publishing, my page doesn't appear, if I remove this code the page comes back to work.

how to change the action script in the "buttons" movie clip to present more like a button by enabling a change color with a rollover. workaround to accommodate a change of font size as well?
I'm assuming it would utilize the setTextFormat command, but I'm so new to this that I'm not really sure how to set it up.
Here's the original work-around posted by bozeman.

I'm in the midst of the very honorable job of adding localization support for all kinds of languages. This would not be a problem if the main font we use would support asian and russian symbols.
After some nosing around I found a substitution font that has support for asian and russian symbols. However this substitution font isn't spaced in the same way as our original font. If I just replace the old font for the new font then all the text will be misaligned, too big and also lowered quite a bit.
What I'd like to do is when a textfield is loaded I check for what language is chosen and scale/resize/reposition the textfields accordingly.
So I've got one more problem because the font size limit on 127px I need to scale my dynamic text so it can be bigger. So here the code I tought could work:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("text1_mc",1);

I'm making some ads that are pulling in an mxl feed that had html embedded. I'm working with flash CS5. I'm pulling the text into a dynamic text field embedded into a mc. So at first I was pulling in my feed and anything with a bold tag or a heading tag wasn't rendering the text correctly when I had arial embedded so I had to unembed all fonts. Wasn't the prettiest but was working. So now that ads are published and on certain people's computers the text loading into the text boxes are either cut off or there is extra room. So I'm wondering can dynamic text being loaded into flash be effected by the system fonts in a browser or a zoom in feature of a browser? I cant see how the but that seems to be the problem.

View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text box and I would like to be able to use actionscript 3 to change the color, font, size, etc. of only HALF the dynamic text. Is there a way to use the TextFormat class (or another way) to format half the string and append it to the end of the dynamic text? I also don't want to use server side script or anything outside of flash.
I want to do this:
Hello World -> Hello World
Example: change the color of Half of the dynamic text box.
