ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Text All Running Into 1 Line?
Jul 22, 2010
i just want to convert special characters in from MS Word to simple characters. So you copy and paste what you've written in MS Word into this swf... hit a button and it converts the special characters into plain ones... problem is that when i convert it, all the new lines from MS Word disappear...
so:
Hello there. How are you?
becomes:
Hello there.How are you?
It works if you actually press enter when you're in the static text box, but if you copy and paste it from MS Word it just doesn't work.
I have my Dynamic text box set to Multiline.
So i've thought of 2 options... either there is something else i have to tick or some little bit of coding i can add... or... maybe there is a way using the split and join function that i can add a new line where ever one has been added in MS Word, though i don't know if that would be possible...
it would need to go .split(" ??? ").join("
")
what would i use to identify the new line from the static text to convert it to the dynamic text?

I've finally got XML information coming into my text field. Only problem now is that there for every line break in the text, Flash reads it as two line breaks, for example:
XML:
Line 1
Line 2
Flash:
Line 1
Line 2
I found that you can just use the <br> tag in the original text or if I'm using actionscript to input the text I can use or but what if I'm using text generated by a CMS which my client needs to be able to use?

I have a dynamic text box, displaying the text from XML file, which is created dynamically.My issue is that the text is shown in double spacing, instead of single spacing.I've been researching this for hours, and one website discussing this issue as "when a user insert value from windows platform, flash translates line brake as double space." So, when I look at the XML file, there is only one
Code:
<br />
tag, but displays as if there is 2

I am trying to create a dynamic text field that loads data from an XML file. the XML file cannot contain html formatting, and the idea is that each word should be able to be on its own line. like:
Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.
Now, I've been told that the way they used to do this is that in the XML is formatted where they put all the words on their own lines. like:
<data name ="input">Dynamic
Data
Displays
Here.</data>
when i try this, it seems to be double spacing everything.

My dynamic text box won't show the last line of text, no matter how much or how little text I am feeding it. The text box has an instance name, set to render html, set to multiline.My code is getting the text into the box, but it keeps clipping the last line.

Is there a way to create a linebreak in a dynamic txt box. Something like this
HP Code:
line1="1st sentence";
line2="2nd sentence";
line3="Space space i'm in space!;";
linebreak= //however you do one
listbox.text = line1 + linebreak + line2 + line break + line3;
The output would be
1st sentence
2nd sentence

I am populating a dynamic text box with some xml elements that I am calling on. For example, I have two text fields and am filling them using
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester);
texttime.textname.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
How could I populate one dynamic text field using a combination of the two elements above? I'd also like to put a line break between the two elements.I tried something like this and could not figure it out
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester)+"/n "(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);

This component requires that you use Dynamic text, the Multiline behavior, and embed all fonts. There are 5 lines of copy on the banner. I need to make two of the lines of copy a larger font and also adjust line spacing on two of the lines. I can accomplish this using Static Text but cannot seem to get it to work in Dynamic Text. If I change the font size on selected text it changes ALL of the font sizes for everything within that text box.

I have an input field with a variable that needs to be displayed within a dynamic text field. I have noticed that when I publish in Flash 8, there is a line break after the variable and I need to sentence to be continuous. This displays without the line break when I set the dynamic text field to "single line;" however, there is about a paragraph of text to be displayed so I need the text to be set to "multiline." For some odd reason, multiline displays a line break after the variable, whereas "single line" does not.
Here are my variable names -------------->>
Input Field variable name is "userName".
Dynamic text field variable name is "outputText".
The sentence to be displayed:
outputText = ""+userName+", and the sentence continues here for a paragraph and so on..."
How can I have the dynamic text field display continuously, without a line break?

I have a bunch of thumbnails i'm getting from XML that have this code on them...
Code:
for (e = 0; e < total; e++) {
_root.web_thumbs.thumb_button.duplicateMovieClip("button" + e, e + 12);
_root.web_thumbs["button" + e].c = e;[code].....]);
It loads the XML variable fullimg into an empty movie clip on its own layer in the timeline.The movieclip, "container", is assigned this code, but the code isn't on the movieclip, it's on a frame designated for just actionscript.This is the code
Code:
container.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = int(content._x - (content._width / 2) + 30);
this._y = int(content._y - (content._height / 2) + 30);
}
The Problem Is...When there is no image loaded into the movie clip, it works fine, and shifts around depending on the location of the other movie clip, "content". But, once there is an image loaded into "container", it stops shifting around depending on the location of "content", and just sits in its last location.The only thing i can IMAGINE being problematic is, on another frame, where I have the XML being cut up and assigned to variables, at the end I have a remove _root.onEnterFrame, removing the onEnterFrame at the beginning of the XML to variables line of code, so that is stops running.

in Flash CS4 I have static text like: Line1 and line2 It's in 9 point Arial Regular as a device font. If I set the line spacing below 3.9 the second line dissappears from the compiled SWF file. It still shows in the FLA file. The same thing happens at 6pt but NOT at 5pt or less.

When a Dynamic Multiple line text field is used in Flash CS3, it has a very annoying feature that auto inserts a line break at the end of inserted text. It also auto inserts a line break if no text is entered too.
I'm having a problem with this because the text is being saved from flash to a text file on the desktop. With every multi-line text field there's a nasty looking line break.
Any way of "turning off" this auto-line-break-at-the-end feature?
