ActionScript 2.0 :: Use CopyPixel To Create A Simple Text Printer?
Apr 5, 2007I was wondering if it would be possible to use copyPixel to create a simple text printer for example you have a font as an image like this
[URL] then have some code that will transform your text ="hello world" into HELLO WORLD on your flash screen, but written in that font.
Because the font is spaced equally you could have the source x and y, times by 16pixels for each letter and move the Y source down 16 pixels when it reaches the right side of the image
ActionScript 2.0 :: High Score List - Flash Cannot Create A Simple Text File
Aug 17, 2004I want to create a simple high score list of 10 high scores of a game. From reading the forums I seem to get the idea that flash cannot create a simple text file. I don't have php or asp but do have cgi capability. Does anyone know where I can find a simple cgi-script that will allow me to write the text the cgi receives to a simple text file: game.sco I want to be able to write a single long string to it so that I create a string of values and can load it back in using flash loadvariables. I can create the string in flash... but how do I write it to a text file using a cgi script? the text file would include this string...I already know how to read it and split it to parse it into arrays:

IDE :: Text Hit Area - "enable Simple Buttons"?
Mar 4, 2010I have buttons that are just static text: the text color changes on the over and down state, and I have a larger solid rectangular box on the text in the "hit" state.When I roll over the text, the state changes only occur outside the text area where the hit area is defined outside of the text.I tried the advice of going to "control" --> "enable simple buttons" but that just made the text flicker when the mouse is over the button,
p.s. AS3 works fine on the buttons. It's just the hit area that's the problem.

View 2 RepliesFlex :: How To Create Link Buttons With Data-Driven Text
Jan 23, 2011I've made a component based on a mx:TitleWindow that contains linkbuttons that I'm using as a context-menu. The TitleWindow component contains link buttons like this:
[Bindable]
private var _showEmailThis:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
private var _showApproveThis:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
private var _showReviewThis:Boolean = false
[Code] .....
This component contains a large number of links and is re-used by multiple modules in the same application. Within each module, this component is used when a user clicks on a row in a datagrid. The code looks like this:
In "Requests" module:
private function dgRequests_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showApproveThis = true;
menu.showReviewThis = true;
}
In "Performance" module:
private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showEmailThis = true;
menu.showReviewThis = true;
}
As you can see, the visibility of individual linkbuttons is controlled within each module by setting boolean properties. If I alter this component to use a renderer, how can I control the visibility of the linkbuttons from the code in each module (there are over a hundred links with different functionality - not every link will be used in each module)? Note: it is not known from the back-end which grid within which module uses which link. This is set in the front end within each module's actionscript file. E.g., if the XML looks like this:
[Code] .....
And I set the Email link to show in the module like this:
private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showEmailThis = true;
}
How do I make it take effect? Is there a way to control the visibility of a linkbutton within an item renderer in a component from the module that uses that component?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Auto-sizing Buttons Based On Text?
Jul 22, 2009I have an interface that will have a variable amount of buttons in it and the text on each button can be anywhere from 10 characters to 30 characters. What I'd like to do is to have my buttons auto-size width wise based on the length of the text. I don't think that will be too difficult but I'd also like to have rounded corners on the top of the buttons so that they'll look like tabs and from my experience when you change the width of these buttons that have rounded corners they start looking a bit odd since they won't retain their original radius

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Buttons Create List In Dynamic Text Field
Nov 4, 2010I have created an organizational chart for the company I work for displaying all current employees. Each contact is shown as a button that displays a 'popup' window on rollover. All of this works perfectly. What I want is to create an option to click on each button and the individuals email address be added to a dynamic text field at the bottom of the page.
Just to clarify, I am able to have text entered into the text field on each click, however, clicking on the next button removes the previous text. I want each click to create a new entry in a list. For example: "contact1; contact2; contact3;" etc etc. The end result would be for the user to copy all text (email addresses) from the dynamic text box and paste it into their Outlook "To" section.

View 2 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Using Simple Frame Label Buttons With A Twist
Mar 22, 2007I designed a navigation menu that has 4 buttons. When you rollOver btn1 it goes to a nested movie clip and plays the frame label "a1" which changes its color. On rollOut it plays the "a2" which restores it to its original color. Very easy so far and common. onRelease the button is instructed to stay a a1 to indicate its on.Here is the twist. When you roll over btn1 part of the animation covers up the other buttons. Same thing is you roll on btn2 for example, it colors the buttons accordingly. So I started off by creating a variable and setting it to 0. Then I built my rollOver, rollOut, & onRelease code for each button and said if the variable is not != to whatever number then play the frame label using that logic but it has failed to fully work. The other button even though its covered up with a different color still works so it just makes a sort of glitch.[code]
