Is there a way to detect text box overflow that has dynamic text?
I am looking to "scroll" the text left if the text overflows the box.
I will be looking to do this by having a MouseOver function that removes the first character of the string in intervals so that the whole text shifts left, and on MouseOut the original text will be re-inserted.
However to do this i need to detect if the text overflows the box as otherwise it will be pointless.
Is there any way to have a movieclip displayed only when there is text overflow in a dynamic text field? (This movieclip would be the scroller for the dynamic text field).
I'm attempting to make a Textfield that is a fixed size and that replaces the overflow text that an ellipse (...). Has anyone found any clever ways to do this?
I found this strange bug while coding, and wrote it in the simplest way to be sure it was true. Try opening a new AS3 FLA file, and write this code in the Actions Panel:
function someFunc(x1:String, x2:String, x3:Number=0):String { var my_result:String = "result"; return my_result; } someFunc("someVal1", "someVal2");
Calling someFunc will call a #1023 stack overflow error!The only way not to have it is to remove the "x3" Parameter. That'sso strange (and annoying, 'cause before realizing this was a bug i was getting crazy trying to find an error in my original code, which was much more complex).
I recently downloaded the Stack Overflow XML dump, and began playing around with the files. I plan to develop some visualisations of the data, for the community of course, but I am wondering does anybody have any suggestions on how they would like to view or indeed interact with this data? Social Network Analysis springs to mind, and maybe some Flex interactive charts...
I have some problem with gradient fill in Flash Pro CS5 For example I want to fill some rectangle with reflected gradient. When I click on one of the buttons in ColorMixer Panel (Extend, Reflect, or Repeat) nothing is changed - Reflect and Repeat options seems to doesn't work.
I'm binding two AutoCompleteModified objects to one another; meaning you type in one and it selects the correct object in the other. It works fine when I define it in MXML: However, a user can add a new row to a Grid and then I set up the binding and objects via actionscript and it gives an 'undefined' error: ChangeWatcher line 427/wrapHandler.
var innerHBox:HBox = new HBox(); var dtc_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified(); dtc_acm.dataProvider = data2; dtc_acm.labelField = 'id'; var cp_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified(); [Code] .....
If I only keep it 1-way binding then it works fine. But both throw this error. Is there something about not only doing it 2-way in actionscript, but adding components that aren't on the stage yet?
I am trying to create a sprite in Actionscript 3 using Flash Professional with fixed width and height that contains a list of TextFields that scrolls up and down. I want the highlighted textfield to be fixed focus with the text that goes out of the sprites bounds to be invisible. I am new to AS3 and tried to set the width and height of the sprite but it did not work. I would do this with CSS by having a with a fixed width and height and setting the overflow property to hidden.
I have imported movieclip on my stage. But this movieclip has objects which lay out of borders of this movieclip, so I've got part of objects on stage which must be invisible, but they are not invisible.
I'm having a strange problem w/ stack overflow errors after instantiating a simple class only 4 times. The strange thing is that when I put a trace statement where the classes are instantiated, it clears up the problem.

I am trying to add a MC using an external AS file.my AS file is in the same place as my FLA and SWF.I am trying to use the AS class file to do this but I keep getting class path as wrong.I am also getting this ERROR ON OUTPUT

If I have two sibling canvases displayed next to each other, can I have a child Label (or any child component for that matter) in the left canvas overflow outside of that canvas and on top of the next?
wondering if there's any way to make it so that a list I have will not scroll to show the horizontal end of the items. Very few items go long enough to require it and the horizontal scrollbar is distracting.
I don't see any property to control that, though, so not sure how to achieve this.
I have two display objects dispObj1, dispObj2. dispObj2.stage is null. (i.e. it is not added to stage anyhow)What should be the output of dispObj1.getBounds(dispObj2)?Is it well defined, or could it be arbitrary?Once I got x of boundingRectangle close to 6710785, which I guess is a symptom of an integer overflow somewhere.
But other times I got a reasonable value for x,y,width,height.
I'm having issues with a YouTube video breaking a jQuery slider when viewed on an Apple mobile device. The slider uses a set width & height window that uses the overflow:hidden property. It looks great in all browsers except for Apple devices where all of the slides are visible in a row as if the overflow:hidden property did not take effect.
I created an ajax jQuery featured content slider that will automatically navigate through each tab. Each tab has some basic html. The one I used is this one: [URL]. For some reason, when I embed a flash video in it, the flash video overflows the div. It looks fine in Chrome and Safari but not the latest version of Firefox (3.6) on the PC. Is it not handling overflow or z-indexes correctly?
I'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.Take a look at the one here in the center of the page: [url]....I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.
When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site? Is loading SWfs even the proper way to do this? Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking? The simple code I have so far:
stop(); var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);[code].....
Some text (or html) document from web is not encoded as UTF-8, so I want to convert encoding of text document to UTF-8. Do you have any clues for dealing with text encoding?
And I found that, when application draws element with encoding-broken text (such as "º ½¾ ±"), the application is often killed with alert dialog "adl quit unexpectedly". How can I make my application more endurable.
I have a flash file that will be running on my website, however, if, when a user is using the flash file, there is an update? (i.e. I update the swf and upload the new one to my site) I want the current flash file to say, "A new update is ready, refresh your page" .... I planned on doing this by having an html page that just has a number on it, when you first open the flash file it will find out what number is on that page, then, every 30 seconds or so it will check that page again, and, if that number changes (because I edited the html page to have a new number on it.) then it will know that I've also uploaded a new version of the swf file to the server and it will alert the user to refresh the page... So how do I check what number is on a blank html page with only 1 number in it via actionscript 2.0? Something about XML? Or is there just a simple function?
I have many input text boxes, I want to do something when a user clicks on an input text box but I don't know how to detect which input text box got clicked?
I have a text input box inside a movieclip. I want to detect when the user clicks inside and open up a modal window with the full form. I use the following line of code:
And it works fine, but just the first time. When I close my modal window without entering any information and click on the input form again, nothing happens. The listener is there, but nothing happens. My guess is because the focus is already there. Should I be using another listener? MouseEvent.CLICK is not what I'm looking for because I only want the window to fire when inside the textbox is clicked, not the whole thing...
I also tried Code: stage.focus = null; and it also doesn't work.
Anyone know of any good classes or functions that will do this? I've found some regexes but what I need is to pass the string to a method and have it return the same string, but with urls turned blue and turned into hyperlinks. Seems like a fairly common task, but I can't find anything.
This one is for all the TextField wizards out there. I have a text field that displays 2 paragraphs of texts. The first one I want to be truncated to show only 3 lines of text maximum. The 2nd paragraph is to be appended to that text.
Is there a way I can show only the first 3 lines of the first paragraph? Think of it like an abstract for an article for the first paragraph.
I tried doing it with String.subStr(0, guestimate of 3 lines of chars) but it's pretty inconsistent in that some strings will take up 4 lines of the textfield.
I thought about doing 2 separate textfields but in the case of the first paragraph having only 1 line worth of chars, there will be gap of 2 lines worth of chars between the 2nd paragraph.
