ActionScript 3.0 :: Control / Unload Swf Inside Html Textfield?
Jul 27, 2011
In a CS3/AS3 project I have xml files with html content loaded in a texfiled inside a mc. In some cases I have swf files embedded with img tag. The problem is that when a swf is loaded this way It keeps 'living', playing with sounds in the background when other xml files and swf are loaded in the texfiled.
Then, every time it is loaded again, a new instance of the swf is created and played while the previous is still running.
I have found out you can refer to the loader object with getImageReference method giving an id to img tag and, for example, adding an Event.COMPLETE listener to the loader.
But I don't know how to access to the loaded swf to unload it or at least stop it (mc_name.texfiled_name.swf_id doesn't seem to work in AS3)

Is there any way to create links inside large textfields without setting the textfield as an HTML textfield? I don't want to set the link to all the text in the textfield, only to some words in the text.
When i put a dropshadowfilter on a dynamic textfield with html-content, the links (a href) stop working.The textfields rotate in flash 3D space so they have a transformmatrix applied to them. Could this be the reason? Anybody had problems with html-links and dropshadowfilter applied to the textfield? it makes no difference if you put the filter on the textfield itself or the movieclip container around it.
I need to get the position (x,y) of the last char in a textField with html text inside. I try with numlines and getLineMetrics, but that only work for non-html text. If I have a text like
Code: <p>text one</p><p>This is the other text</p><br><br>
I need to have the position on the stage of the last "t".
I am trying to manipulate (move up and down, enable/disable and launch a form) child controls inside a panel control. However I am unable to get the id of the child control on which the click event occurs. To illustrate, I am trying to create similar functionality as is available. I am trying to create the up-down buttons that you see in the image at http:[url].......
I have created a textArea element but cannot display my HTML content. If I just display regular text it works or if I change the textArea element to a RichEditableText element it works fine. Since this is for a mobile app I would prefer to use the textArea element as recommended by Adobe.Here is the MXML code for the textArea. All I get is the border and no content displayed.
I am looking for a very basic html editor (similar to the one being used in this forum to make entries - only more basic)...which ONLY uses html tags supported by the AS2 textfield....
im using addChild to load a movieclip after a button click. It loads to the middle of the movie clip where there's a stop action and a close button, whick jumps to the next frame to play out the movie clip, but then it just starts over.
I have a menu and each button reveals a hidden layer which includes it's submenu (another swf).The submenus have sub-submenus in the same swf.When I take the mouse away from these layers the submenus hide again.All these work.The problem is that when a sub-submenu is opened and then the layer hides, when it's shown again the sub-submenu is still opened.Is there a way to clear memory or unload a swf file through html or through the main menu swf?
How can I control the spacing between paragraphs when there is no support for margin-top or margin-bottom? I don't want to add empty <p> or <br /> elements to my text since they don't allow exact control and insert too much space.
I have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?
I figured out how to get a TextField to maintain focus when the tab key is pressed (using an event listener on FocusEvent.KEY_FOCUS_CHANGE), but what I'd like to do is control the size of the tab character in the TextField so that it is equal to five spaces. (I would just insert five spaces when the tab key is pressed, however due to requirements this is not an option.) Is this possible?
I am creating a text input control on top of the native TextField class. I am trying to make the input text field itself behave in such a way that hitting Enter when focused and typing, instead of adding a line feed, produces a kind of "submit" event from my control, clearing the "submitted" text input. The described above works quite well. My problem is that I currently rob the users of my control the simple line-feeding ability - instead of a line-feed, a "submit" event is dispatched.
Obviously my control is designed for sending text rapidly, but it is also multiline so I want people to also be able to insert newlines. Think of this as a chat text input control. What I thought about is, somehow capture Shift+Enter and make it behave as Enter usually does. This has proven to be absolutely impossible, and I know a thing or two about Flash Player.
Part of the problem is, Shift+Enter by default does not itself produce a newline (even though pretty much everything else that types in any OS, does) and I cannot patch the event - f.e. by setting 'shiftKey' property to false at capture phase so that the event moves on as if Enter was pressed instead. How to do this, sort of replicating a TextField entirely down to a caret and all?
I have this code for my asp mailform. What I want is to be able to set onRollover on my textfields. It doesn't work directly on the textfields so I have to convert to mc and so on.That I know, what I cant figure out is how to write in this code when the textfields are inside an mc?
Can Flash control the visibility of a html layer <div>? Example: I am building an eyeblaster style banner and would like flash to turn off the visibility of the div containing this banner, either when they click close or the movie reaches a specific frame on the timeline.
I try to get height of the textfield with htmlText='<img src="path/to/img.png" /><p>...Some text....</p>';To retrieve text height I use myField.textHeight property. But it always returns height of text without image.
I've done this a long time ago and for the life of me cannot remember how(even found my old post here, where I said fscommand did the trick, but I never wrote exactly how I did it).I have two text links in HTML on my webpage. I have a small flash movie on the same page.
I want to have the flash movie jump to a specific frame when one of these HTML text links is clicked. And to another frame when the other is clicked.I did it before with the fscommand, but I can't remember which project it was for so I can't look at my old code.
I want to use a proxy on the HTML Control found in Adobe AIR.I have tried looking at the AS3 docs on Adobe but honestly, it didn't explain the usage clearly to me and looking at Adobe's example, I can't seem to make out anything off of it.
When setting the .location property of an HTML control, it is possible to set it to an invalid URL with no error. How can I determine if the change in location resulted in the loading of some HTML, or if the URL is 404?[code]...
I have a button in HTML that updates a little Javascript. Instead of the HTML button updating the Javascript, I would like Flash to. Here is my HTML button code:
how to control separate swf's in one html. Problem :One swf needs to tell the second swf to go to and stop at a specific frame and they are both in the same HTML. Im having trouble writting the actionscripting that specifies the other swf to gotoAndstop at a certain flag. how do I change this, so it can say what I want it to do?
I have a question for any seasoned Action scripters. Here's my problem, I have two flash files embedded in different parts of an HTML page and I want one flash file to play the other when it gets done. I would assume that I need to use PHP or javascript to talk with the HTML file that would send the other flash file a command which it was "listening" for. I really don't know however.
I want to go to a particular scene of a flash movie when the page refresh on clicking to a button for a particular page. say..I have expandable menu in flash(verticle menu) so when i click products..it should opens products page also show the submenus should not be hidden. So, if html page can tell flash to go to particular scene of a flash movie on refresh, then my problem will be solved.
Basically, there is a Flash movie embedded in the HTML TextFiled. The code is is as follows: <img src="[URL]" width="470" height="350"></img> <p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p> <p>Is there any way to make the space between embedded Flash movie above and this text more narrow ???</p>
In case there is less line breaks (<br />) the text in the last paragraph is shown truncated from the beginnng (so it's like "ny way to make the space..."). Is this a bug in Flash Player or is there any way to render text below embered swf better? Attachments: problem.gif (42.3 K)
I have a movieclip inside the OVER on a button, right now I have an animation that causes the button's brightness increases from 0 to 10 over 24 frames and then come stops because of a stop (). I now intend to add an animation after stop () which gets the button's brightness goes back to 0 again when you no longer hold the mouse over the button. I would therefore like to make some kind of mouseOut event that allows Movieclip go to the next frame. I have tried to insert a target path but it seems that it can't reach the movie clip inside the button.
First off, I have a movie clip called mc_instructions. Inside the movie clip, about 940 frames into it, a button appears called btn_ready. I need this button to bring me to frame 3 on the main timeline when clicked on.
