I have a TextArea component in a flash document, and this TextArea is loading text from a .txt file.
However, when you're viewing the textarea in a webpage, you can not only select the text that has been loaded into the textarea, but you can also delete the text written there, like it's a word document or something.
Is there any way I can disable this?
I am simply wanting to stop a user entering carriage returns in a TextArea. I have been experimenting with the 'restrict' property in the TextArea but cant seem to work it out.I have the following code:
<mx:Canvas id="cvs1" label="Panel 1" width="100%" height="100%" creationComplete"addEvtListnerOnPlaceText()" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:TextArea id="txtP1T1" x="10" y="176" text="{placeName}" width="210" textAlign="center" color="#DC0000" restrict="this is where I need some help"/>
</mx:Canvas>
I've now managed to get something working:
private function addEvtListnerOnPlaceText():void{
txtP1T1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEventDown);
txtP1T1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyEventUp);
[code]....
The only issue now is that if you hold return down, it clears the first carriage return and then keeps adding as long as you hold it down. I need a way to stop this happening without just losing focus on the text area.

I am referring to the situation where the text does not fit in the TextArea height.When I try to tap and drag the text gets selected and not scrolled... Am I missing a something here?

View 2 RepliesI have an editable datagrid, whenever I make a change it automatically gets saved. How can I disable this? So the changes gets saved only when I click on an external save button.
View 1 RepliesI have an editable datagrid. If sorting is applied by clicking any header of datagrid, it works fine. But after that, if data values are changed in any row of datagrid, sorting is applied automatically. How to prevent from this behaviour? i.e. sorting should only be applied if user clicks on any header of datagrid and sorting should not be applied when user modifies data in grid.

I'm having issues with the property "editable" of textArea control. I have a component: OrderView.mxml and it's associated data class OrderViewData.as. Orderview.mxml is inside a viewStack to enable navigation from a component to another. In this particular case, OrderView.mxml is called by another component: SearchResult.mxml. I can thus navigate from SearchResult.mxml to OrderView.mxml, and back to SearchResult.mxml... OrderView.mxml has textArea and textInput control, that have to be editable or nonEditable depending on the property var isEditable:Boolean from OrderViewData.as.
When the application is launched, isEditable = true. So, all textInput and textArea controls are editable the first time the user gets to OrderView.mxml. When the user clicks on the button order from OrderView.mxml, isEditable = false. When the user goes back to SearchResult.mxml, isEditable = true (again) --> Until here, everything works fine. The thing is: when the user goes back to OrderView.mxml for the second time (and beyond), even if the property isEditable = true, textArea controls are still non editable... But the textInput controls are editable!

I created several swc-based components with AS3 and Flash CS4 extending the UIComponent structure. After exporting a fla-based component to a swc-file i created a flash-extension with the Adobe Extension Manager and installed the component.This swc-based component works fine and shows up in the component panel, but i'm not able to edit the components assets because they don't show up in the library anymore.Can someone please tell me if there's a way to export the components assets respectively the components symbols with the swc-file in order make them editable and show up in the library of the FLA which's using the component?

View 1 RepliesWe have a TextArea that is created dynamically reading in XML data with the textFormat set to Arial font as the default. When we publish it the font tag for a subscript and superscript fonts is not displaying even though we have embedded the fonts. It displays
properly if the font is installed.
Is there a way to get a TextArea to automatically scroll down when text is added to it?I have had a look around but havent found anything that works.
View 2 RepliesThe scroll policy for the textArea component appears to be "auto", and that works just fine.However, I want to be able to turn it off in certain situations, i.e., not have the scroll bar appear.I do the following which I thought would turn it off but the scroll bar still shows up.
Code Snippet:
myTF = new TextFormat("Arial", 10, 0xFFFFFF,false);
myText_mc.myTextArea.setStyle("textFormat", myTF);
myText_mc.myTextArea.verticalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
myText_mc.myTextArea.horizontalScrollPolicy = "OFF";
How does one customize the text area component ( I mean text font, text size, colour and so on). Nothing like that appears in Component Inspector.

View 1 RepliesI'm working in ActionScript 3 and, yet again, I'm starting to regret trying to use components as it seems I always run into a brick wall when using them : (
I have a TextArea component instantiated and added to the display list programmatically via ActionScript 3 code (not AS2, which is all I could find reference to on the net about this).
How to disable the border so it doesn't show around the TextArea component? I've tried a bunch of things, like for example:
myTextArea.setStyle("border", "false");
and
myTextArea.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");
I'm using the textArea component, but i want to scale it to the size of the browser window. The problem is it scale the content(xml+css) and the scrollbar, and i want to just change the size. I've also tried to attach the Component and then setting the size, but that give the same problem.
View 3 RepliesI have got an array full of strings and I want to populate the elements into dynamically created textarea components. I have seen "this []" syntax used to dynamically create arrays, but I can not get something similar to work for text area components.
Here is the code that I am trying:
Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < aActivities.length; i++) {
this["taNode_" + i] = new TextArea();
this["taNode_" + i].move(20,50 + (10*i));
this["taNode_" + i].height=26;
this["taNode_" + i].text=aActivities[i];
addChild(this["taNode_" + i]);
}

I do have an instance of a textarea in my Library as I know you have to for things like data grid.
TextArea component does not load after publishing as AIR .I have a TextArea component in the library. Its Class is: fl.controls.TextArea I add it to the stage using the addChild method. Running it inside the flash CS4 the textArea component gets added to the stage as intended. But after publishing, the textArea component doesn't get loaded. What may be the problem? The stage is blank without any textarea.
View 2 RepliesI am just starting to use the TextArea component in Flash CS3. How do I change the font size, style, and color of the text within the textarea? Can I also change the textarea background color from white to something else?
View 3 RepliesRight now I just have a single color as its background via
textarea.setStyle("backgroundColor", "0xe3ecca")
However, is it possible to say, create a gradient (the only way I know how to do so is with the beginGradientFill that you use while using the drawing API) as a variable and then apply that as the background to the TextArea component somehow?
With the Flex 3 SDK you simply needed to set the borderThickness style to 0, or set borderStyle to none. With the Flex 4 SDK ad the Spark theme, this has no effect.
View 5 RepliesI've a TextArea component in my MovieClip. When I double click on it, I want to switch to TextField component, allowing me to change its content. When I click outside, I want to restart its original class (TextArea).
I'm doing this, but didn't work:
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.target.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Where element is a TextArea (classic and dynamic text).
This is how my MovieClip looks. "Name" is the TextArea that I want to allow user changes. I'm setting it like this:
Nombre de instancia = Instance name (empty)
Texto clasico (classic text)
Texto dinamico (dynamic text)
The MovieClip is controlling my by own base class (called 'ConfLayer'). Inside it I have this:
public function doStuff(e:MouseEvent):void{
// element = TextArea 'Name'
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, changeName);
} private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
var tarea:TextArea = e.target as TextArea;
var tf:TextField = tarea.TextField; // this line throwing error
tf.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
Because AS3 gives me errors, I tried this:
private function changeName(e:MouseEvent):void {
e.target.TextField.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
}
When I double-click on TextArea element, the previous string removes and I can't write nothing.
I'm importing text into a TextArea component and it all works fine and dandy.Though I want the textarea to not form a scrollbar but to actually just keep adjusting its height so there is never a scrollbar.I looked through all the properties and I have no idea what to test for to see if there is a scrollbar.
