I have some dynamic text in an swf, that sits in an html doc, with the width & height set to 100%, in order to have the swf scale depending on screen size.
Everything works really well apart from a dynamic text field (which pulls in slide numbers) which disappears or reappears depending on the size of the window or when the window is resized. [URL]

View 4 RepliesI found a bug with use of _X and _Y. even though vars are case sensitive in the case of _Y and _X Auto format will change them in to lower case _y and _x and still even then, the use of upper case will still apply what ever value of that var to the _y and _x of the _root.Now that I dont have the stage shifting any more I went back to look at my trace and to my surprise it's still the same.I assume that it's because of the array style scope. when in debug the the level0 and level0.stage is the same width and height.[code]
View 7 RepliesI understand that, in order get an anti-aliased font in a dynamic text field, the most given advice is to embed the font. But that doesn't work for my project since we want to make it available in multiple languages, and there are too many fields that must be embedded, and it greatly increases the file size of just one scene.
The other option I have seen people use is to custom anti-alias, but for some reason, this option just is not working for me. I fiddle and fiddle with the sliders, and no change is ever made. We are only using Arial, so I am at a complete loss as to why I seem to get no changes in the text from this option.
shed light on what might be blocking me from using custom anti-alias in my flash files?
I have an issue with font scaling of a dynamic text box.
Currently i have one input box named input_1 with a variable attached to it named "choc_1".
Also, i have a dynamic text box named dynamic_1 with variable "choc_1".
When the user types something on the input box then the dynamic box changes instantly and displays what the user has written.
auto scale-size the fonts to a smaller size if the user types many letters.
The input_1 box has a 13 character limit. My initial font size is 200, i want to scale down so when the user types 10 letters they fit the box and they don't go out of screen. I want to use one line, so wrap or multiline is not possible.
here's a code that i'm trying to fix but i can't get the dynamic box to change:

So I've got one more problem because the font size limit on 127px I need to scale my dynamic text so it can be bigger. So here the code I tought could work:

I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
This goes out to Scotty or any other guru floating around out here. I need the image_mc movieclip in this .fla to scale to fit browser, however i need the image to scale in proportion. I would also need a listener of sorts that will NOT allow the image_mc movieclip to scale below the stage size of 1024 x 768.

I have flash movie that I'm loading other movieclips and swfs into.At the moment when I load in a new swf, the timeline plays through the intro sequence, then when I select new content to load into replace it the movie simply vanishes without showing the outro sequence.It's been puzzling me for a while now but i've seen it used on many flash sites so i'm guessing there's definately a way to do it.

View 1 RepliesText is placed on stage dynamically with a MouseEvent. This is functioning correctly. I want to create a tween for the text once it displayed using the same MouseEvent but can't get it to
work.
Here's a sample of what I have (Bold is what is not functioning) :
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, buttonsEffect);
function buttonsEffect(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.alpha=1.0;
if(evt.target == D) {

I'm having trouble adding a text message dynamically on stage using as3.I have an animation that the user interacts with and when a variable reaches a certain value I want to display a message to the user. How can I do this ?[code]....
View 3 RepliesI have a DynamicText movie clip call mcShotsText. In my .as file I'm creating an instance via:
private var _mcShotsText:MovieClip;
_mcShotsText = new mcShotsText();
_mcShotsText.x = 300;
_mcShotsText.y = 300;
addChild(_mcShotsText);
If I make the symbol so that it starts with text, it displays that fine. I want to alter it in code throughout the course of the game. I was hoping this would work:
_mcShotsText.text = "I am a cample";
I'm facing problem regarding dynamic texts. My dynamic text is placed on the stage and instantiated. I'm setting the text value in AS by using textname.text = smthing... Initially it was showing the correct result on testing the movie clip.. But after few runs it started showing garbage values... When i traced the value, trace showed the correct result but not displayed properly on the dynamic text..I then deleted and recreated the texts.. After some trials od deleting and reinserting it started working fine.. But soon the problem creeped in.
View 2 RepliesShort version : Im confused on the difference between the two when accessing something on the stage from a package. Longer version: I passed in a ref to the stage to the constructor on a class, and was unable to use it to access a dynamic text on stage. I pass in this instead and am able to access it.

I've been working on this all day. All I need is the font to be able to be both bold and regular in one string. However, while the string is being written on screen once it hits the bold tag (I have the string writing into a htmlText textarea) everything becomes bold. I can't seem how to figure out how to get it both bold and regular. Ive tired embedding via AS and from the stage using dynamic text. Nothing has worked.

I was wondering if there is a way to auto resize the swf to fit a dynamic text field. I am doing a site and have text coming in from XML. some of the pages have a couple paragraphs where as some are much longer so when it is published the pages that have more text gets cut off.
View 4 RepliesI have been looking around for a long time to find a way to create a dynamic text field added to stage using as3 that is arched.I have seen this done in other sites but have had a hard time figuring out. Does anyone know of a component other than Text2Curve that is available? Has anyone already written something that arches a textfield that they would share?Arched text in flash seems to be impossible.

I am using a gallery written in AS3.0 called SlicedCubeGallery.

cubeGallery_mc.load(request);

- I put 3 dynamic text field to stage. I selected Verdana both of them and select bold and italic for other 2 field. after that I created a textfield.
.embedFonts = true;
assigned "Verdana" font as TextFormat.
and when I assigned a htmlText to my field like that :"<b>this is bold</b> this is normal". I use Flash CS4, AS3
I'm trying to access a text input that I've already placed on the stage (inside a movie clip) but with no luck.I've defined an instance name for this dynamic text field which is currentUserCount.I've got something like this set up in the document class actionscript file:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;[code].......
What am I missing? When I run this I get:
1120: Access of undefined property currentUserCount.
1120: Access of undefined property movieClipName.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property movieClipName through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
1120: Access of undefined property currentUserCount.
I'm creating a tabbed UI and using this tut for the nav of it (but with only 3 tabs):

..when one of the tabs is clicked..it will show the appropriate content below when it jumps to that frame. However, each tabs associated content varies in height. Is there a way for me to dynamically scale the height of the stage according to which tab is clicked?
I have to adjust to a new size and my objects have to adjust accordingly. Is there a way to select multiple objects on separate frames and resize as a group?
View 1 RepliesThere is a flash with stage size 800 x 600. I need to add a button on the flash. When the user clicks the button one time, it will resize to be 600 x 450 and all MC, texstbox, button insides the flash would be resized on scale.
When the user clicks the button 2nd time, it will resize to be 400 x 300 and all components resize on scale as well.
When the user clicks the button 3rd time, it will resize to 800 x 600 again.
Is there any AS3 source code for it?
I'm using the loadermax class from greensock in order to load an image which matches the screen's width and height, using a scaleMode of proportionalOutside. The problem is, if I resize the stage, the image does not scale with it. Is there a way to resize the image while maintaining loaderMax's scaleMode?
View 2 RepliesI am creating a website and I want it to be fixed size when the stage is bigger than 750 height so I am using no scale mode
ActionScript Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
But if the stage would be smaller than 750 height I want the website to scale proportionally.
So I am using
ActionScript Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;
I am also listening for resize with eventListener everything works fine until i resize the browser smaller then 750 it executes StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL but after that resize eventListener stops calling the function.
basically just wondering if its possible to scale an MC about the center of the stage as opposed to the top left of the MC? I thought about setting the X & Y as stage width / 2 + MC width / 2 but cant as the user needs to be able to move the MC which is much bigger than the stage and zoom in on a point in the center rather than just the center of the MC.
