Flex :: 4 - Add An Extra Text Field To The Button Component And Dynamically Change Text?

Jan 27, 2011

I created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.

Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clip To Change Position Depending On How Much Text Is In The Text Field

Mar 29, 2005

i have a dynamic text field that loads a variable into it (just a simple text file). this text file will be updated on occasion. i also have a movie clip to be positioned below the text field, however i want the movie clip to change position depending on how much text is in the text field so there isnt a large gap and so they dont overlap. is this possible? i tried the following actionscript to adjust the size of the text field depending on the amount of text. textField2.autosize = "center"; however i have no idea how to get the y position of the movie clip to adjust accordingly.

Actionscript 3 :: Change The Content Of A Regular Text Field Created With The Text Tool In Adobe Flash CS5?

Nov 21, 2010

I have made a movie clip which I export to ActionScript 3.

In this movie clip I have drawn a text field (area? well TEXT) using the plain "Text Tool".

After selecting the text, and after I have entered "0" to be displayed, I edit its properties. It's Instance Name, defined at the very top of the list I have written "score". The text engine is TLF Text and the text type "Read only".

When I have made a instance of the movie clip using AS3 I can't get the value of the text instance named "score" - when calling something like trace(getChildByName("score")) in the constructor I just get null.

I want to be able to get the value of the text "score", and I would also like to change its value.

Just how do I get the value from ActionScript? I don't want to have to create the text progamatically and position it, and I doubt that I have to.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Over Button To Change Text In A Text Field?

Nov 4, 2010

when it comes to flash but managed to learn enough this past week to get a simple website up (getting laid off so scrambling to get portfolio online!). I have an upload test at lisedupuis.net. In my work section I have a bunch of thumbnails (buttons) for all of the video. Basically, I want to add a text field under the video player which will contain a movie clip name. I want to set it up so that when you mouse over the thumbnails the text changes to the correct movie clip name. I thought maybe creating an event listener might work but can't seem to figure out how to write it. Been looking online and not finding exactly what I need and I am in a huge rush.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Text Field Font Change?

Nov 9, 2006

i need a little help. I need to know how to set a dynamic fields' font (and other properties) with actionScript.I thought it could be something like:

Code:
myDynamicTextField.font = "Comic Sans MS";

or at a long shot:

Code:
myDynamicTextField.setStyle("fontFamily", "Comic Sans MS");

(The second one only seems to work with "TextArea" components from the Components menu)
