View 3 RepliesWhen creating a new TextField dynamically, is there a property that automatically adjusts the width to the content or is it always necessary to have txt_field.width = ...?
My text field:
txt_field = new TextField();

txt_field.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array.

I'm trying to create a dynamic textfield for a custom timer created by me. This is how:
var tid:int = 0;
tid = tid+1/30;

The problem is, I can't get the TextFormat to work. Would a timerclass solve the problem?If so, how do I create this? I've only learned to create timers the way I showed above.

View 2 RepliesI just did the "Photo Gallery using XML and Flash tutorial" and it works perfect!! Good tutorial!! I'm struggling with one thing though. Instead of loading the comment text from within XML, I want to load a .txt file into a dynamic textfield in Flash with XML. The code in XML I changed to <caption>folder/pic01.txt</caption>. The code in Flash is now:desc_txt.text = description[p]; I'm think that's the other code that needs to change

I am currently creating an online portfolio using Slideshowpro [URL]. For some of my pictures I am using (external) captions from a XML file, inserted into a dynamic textfield. As some of the captions contain a lot of text I decided to add a UIScrollBar. However, when there is no text (no caption) available, I want the scrollbar to be hidden. Also if there is not enough text to warrant a scrollbar it would be great if it could be hidden!
Code below, note that "t_txt" is the instance name of my dynamic textfield:
import flash.text.TextField;
import net.slideshowpro.slideshowpro.*;
import fl.controls.UIScrollBar;
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
//remove scrollbar from stage, scrollbar component must be in library
var sbContent:UIScrollBar = new UIScrollBar();

I am really at a lose end with this - I have a flash file called in xml into a dynamic textfield. It works fine with English but when I try and put Greek into the xml the flash file then doesn't show the font. The font is verdana - which can be translated and I have embedded the font, with greek and made sure my xml is unicode-8 - but it still shows nothing.

I just discovered something funny I'd like to share with you. I'm making a background mc resize when a textfield gets input. In other words: the paper gets extended when you write close to its edge.The funny thing is that when I register a text input change and trace the content of the textfield, it doesn't show the new input yet. It's always one key behind

sometextfield.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, onTextEvent);
function onTextEvent(evt:TextEvent):void {

I am working on a listbox(flash component), where upon click, will display other arrays in a movie( which is also a listbox made from textfield). The second listbox suppose to contain html links, where it will open up a popup upon clicked. The problem is that whenever I click on the listbox, the content in the sub listbox doesn't change. that is, it doesn't empty the previous load of links, but just add on to the list of links. I am not sure what I can use to prevent this issue. I have tried listener, and "if else" statements.. I've include the codes for the 2nd listbox (the textfield listbox).
Code:
var ListListen:Object = new Object();
ListListen.change = function(pEvent:Object) {
var selectItem:Object = pEvent.target.selectedItem;
var b :Object = pEvent.target.selectedIndex;
sampleList =_root.sampleMovie.Slist

View 4 Repliesi am trying to output the content of an array into a textfield.
For instance this is my array:
var MyArray:Array = ["item 1","item 2","item 3","item 4","item 5"];
And trying to output to textfield via a for loop and a textfield with an instance name "products".
for(var i:Number=0; i<MyArray.length; i++){
products.text = MyArray[i];
}
My problem is that this only outputs the last item in my array into the textfield. But not all of the items..

I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code:
myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){
// Change color
}
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
There's only room for three lines of text in the interface, but the content is external and variable, and if it ends up taking up more than three lines, there needs to be some sort of 'view all' button functionality. I can kind of think about what that function needs to look like, but I'm not quite sure what the best way to do it in AS3 would be. Something like (in pseudo code):

In a card game I use a TextField in the middle to display the playing table number, but also to detect if a playing card has been played - using myTextField.hitTestObject(myCard) - which means the TextField's position and dimensions may not change:
My current AS3 code is:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0xFFFFFF;
format.size = 30;
[Code]......
However the TextField's content (the String "#2029" in the above screenshot) is not in the center of it.
I can not set _middle.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER because this changes the width of the border (and breaks hitTestObject()).
Is there another way to align the text in the middle?
I am trying to add a listener to a textfield and determine when it is changed that a screen box behind the textfield is resized to fit.
I have tried:
ActionScript Code:
body_txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
body_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, setHeight)
But this does not fire. I want to get the new height of the textfield box and set the screen behind it accordingly. What is the proper code for this?
