it is possible to display an image in a TextField by using html and the img-tag. The image is identified by an URI:
textField.htmlText = 'An image: <img
src="c:\myImage.png">';
Now here's my question: Is it possible to refer an image which is in the same .swf-file as the code?
What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.
Current development: [URL]
and code:
Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

I am building flash site with a number of different pages containing a variety of different things (picture gallery from an external swf, pictures, text, contact form etc). This is all working fine apart from one thing. On my contact form I have the following code to create a textField to contain the contact information. I do it this way so i can automatically resize the textField and align it to the bottom of the page no matter how much text is present.
The problem is once you have visited thecontact page once (and run this code to create the textField) then it appears on every other frame of the video (even though it is contained on it's own layer within the contact page keyframes). I thought that if you created a textField like this then it would only display on the current frame and until there was another keyframe (much like if you manually add a textField onto a frame).
My current code is:
// Creating textfield text formatfieldTextFormat = new TextFormat();fieldTextFormat.bold = false;fieldTextFormat.italic = false;fieldTextFormat.align = "right";fieldTextFormat.color = "0xffffff";//fieldTextFormat.font = "Arial";fieldTextFormat.font = "EmbeddedCenturyGothic";

I want to display text in a textfield which dynamically creating. Also this textField is creating inside a movicelip which is created dynamically. I used the following code. Its not working.

I am writing a class that can display a movie clip, and then display the TextFiled information once it is rendered to the screen However the movieClip to which scaleX property is applied (i need it to be horizontally flipped), does not display the text on it. But the movie clip to which the transformation has not been applied for, displays it fine. I ran a trace stmt and all 8 TextFields are added, I also tried to use a Matrix --> flash.geom class, but the same effect when flipping the movieclip, content does not display

I have a webpage which is served as UTF-8 and has the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
I have an swf on the page which has some textfields on it each of which are just using arial for their font and no embedded fonts.
Now when someone types an @ into one of the textfields the " character is displayed instead, I thought this would be because my browser is set to ISO-8859-1 character encoding, but changing it UTF-8 and refreshing makes no difference.
I created a game in AS3 using a tutorial written for AS2 but I can't get the timer working correctly. The game contains 3 frames, a start screen, game loop, and end screen. the timer starts on frame 2, and counts down (tested this with a trace). When the timer reaches 0 I want to go to frame 3 which is the end game screen but my code isn't working.
var fl_SecondsToCountDown:Number = 30;
var fl_CountDownTimerInstance:Timer = new Timer(1000, fl_SecondsToCountDown);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fl_CountDownTimerHandler);
fl_CountDownTimerInstance.start();
theTimer.text = String(fl_SecondsToCountDown);

I'm trying to get values of an array to display into a single text field but I'm also trying to bold the first few letters dynamically using the setTextFormat() method.Basically trying to achieve what the google search function does when it comes up with auto suggestions and each keyword gets un-bolded.
View 0 RepliesThis sounds so simple, but its to save me doing things like this:
Code:
var Lol:Array = new Array();
Lol["Rofl"] = 0;
_root.Lol_Rofl = Lol["Rofl"]; Just to get the array value to display in a dynamic textfield, is there any other more efficient way so that I do not need to declare a seperate variable with the value of the array data to get it to display?
I have code for the user to enter their name in a text box. Once the submit button is clicked I want the name entered to be dispatched with an event as well as displayed on the stage. The reason I want the text field input name to be dispatched is because the text box to enter your name is on the main menu which is loaded and unloaded in order to play through various games.Below is the code to enter your name into the text box.
Code:
var NameTextField:TextField = new TextField();var MyFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
MyFormat.size = 20;
NameTextField.defaultTextFormat = MyFormat;[code].....
HTMLText is displaying really strangely. I'm displaying a textField with htmlText provided through XML, and in this bulleted list it'll display the first line all on one line, keep going off the end of the textareas size (ie. not do multiline) until the last word of the bullet, then put that word at the start of the next line. And it'll put the last word on the next line no matter how long your bullet item is.
eg.
myField.htmlText = "<li>Seek the input of experts</li>;
Would output
'seek the input of
experts'
I've checked and this thread was similar however I've removed all my tweens to test and it hasn't had any effect.
what to do about this? I've tried these to no avail:
myField.htmlText = myString;
myField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
myField.wordWrap = true;
I have this code (below) where a user enters 6 numbers ranging from 1-49 but they cannot enter any other number apart from the ones specified. If they do press the submitButton at this point it should trace the error message 'OUT OF RANGE' into a dynamic text field. My problem is that I don't know why the error message wont display in the dynamic text field in the scene.
submitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submitInfo);
function submitInfo(event) {
var index:int = -1;
var num:int=0;
var myArray_array:Array = new Array ();

i'm working on a game project and i got some trouble with displaying stuff in the game Launcher. everything is in AS3. I'm actually looking to achieve almost the same results as the World of Warcraft launcher with a news section. the way i think to work it is that i create either a textArea component or a textfield and display html page in it. This html page could contain text, image and flash SWF.
but here's the problem, textField and textArea component are very limited in displaying and formating HTML pages. So i don't know if i should continue to search and try developping this way or find another way for displaying dynamic stuff that can be easily updated.
Is it possible to capture the image loading event like when the image is fully loaded and such when it is assigned to the htmlText of the textFiel???
I have a scrollPane that contains a textField which is loading an image via img tag where there is no scrollbars initially because the textField is not large enough in the beginning, but it is larger than the scrollPane after the image is fully loaded.. and I am trying to update the scrollPane once the image is fully loaded..
Made this class that loads pictures for me. You pass on the picture URL, the object that the picture needs to be added to and a function to do after the image is loaded.Here is the class:

I'm displaying a .jpg image by xml in Flash. The problem is the output quality of the image looks terrible (pixelated and text unreadable). The image is 72dpi at 1150px X 750px. The display movie clip area is also 1150px X 750px. Is there any hints or settings I might be missing to display this image at a higher quality ?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to extend the Image class but hit a problem that I can't get past. I have a private image (img) that loads an image and a function that takes that image and copies it onto the parent. The debug function "copyit2" displays the image fine (so I know it's loaded OK). But the function "copyit" doesn't work - it just displays a white rectangle. I can't see how to make copyit work so that the original image is copied to the BitmapData and then subsequenty copied onto the parent?
(The idea is to do some processing on the Bitmap data before it is displayed, although this isn't shown here to keep the example simple.) I suspect it is something to do with the security of loading images, but I'm loading it from the same server as the application is run from - so this shouldn't be a problem?

I worked with HaXe and actionscript programming, but I'm new to flex. Here's my question. If I want to get image from server (blazeds) in AS3 I'll load it to Loader a loader and then add it to some e.g. MovieClip. Should I do the same to load an image in flex? Or there some common for flex schema for doing that? Another question is. If I have an Image on blazeds server what will a better way to get it: to pass it through java (i.e. read it, and then pass to client) or directcly with Loader?
View 2 Repliesisnt there a way to get an FLVPlayback component to display its FLV's first frame until it has enough frames buffered to start playing the video? I can add a preview to it that i can see while im authoring the flashfile the component is in, but it just shows up as a white frame for a second at runtime.. id like to get it to display its first videoframe instead of that. The component inspector assures me there is a way to do this using actionscript, but leaves me hanging on exactly how its done, or where to discover such information
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to load an image for displaying in a container which have been loaded from the Library and placed on the stage.Loading the image for which to use is no problem but algning it to the center of the stage is a problem.Now, keeping in mind that loaded images usually are placed at the top-left corner of the stage I tried to solve the problem like this...:
a = stage.stageWidth/2 (finding the center of the stage)
b = image.width/2
c = a-b (giving us the result of which to place the image)
image.x = c;
The formulas above make sence... in theory. In real life (at least on my computer) it doesn't work.Now, there might be some factors to consider when doing simple math like this...: - Can it be that the container is not the same size as the image loaded? - Can it be that I have to keep the x and y of the container (although I have aligned it so it's placed at the center of the stage)?

I need info regarding ScrollPane tool in Flash CS4. As I need to display a image in it. I have a "zoom" effect set up to where when the user pushes the + button,the x and y scale is increased.
