Feb 23, 2009I know how to adjust the whole text box size using auto size, but I haven't found an easy answer for merely adjusting the size of the font.
The Textbox size won't change, but sometimes a word will be long and other times short. Now I have a small font that looks silly when the word is small and doesn't fit when the word is big.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Textbox.text On Frame Before Textbox Exists?
Nov 24, 2003I have some button code on frame one. that looks like this:
[AS]on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mylogin = new LoadVars();
mylogin.password = password;
mylogin.username = username;
[code]....
basically sending and recieving variables from a php page. I want to be able to specify what my textbox on frame 5 says in the onLoad statement. Is this possible?
Currently the only way I have been able to get the text to display is either to use the textbox variable and declare that in the onload statement, or to put textbox.text = mylogin.message; on the actual frame.I doubt there is a way to do it, because the actual textbox hasn't be created yet, but if there were a way, that would be nice.

Apr 9, 2007I'm creating a timeline structured site where a movie clip on the stage called 'slider' is set to slide automatically according to how far left, or right the mouse position is from the center of the stage. This works. I even have it set it up so that using two variables, i can decide how much or even which portion of the movie clip (or the timeline) the user is allowed to slide around in.I then have a movieclip called 'yearMarker' which is attached at runtime inside the 'slider' movie clip. This is done through a While loop and PHP script which retrieves from the database the field values for "year" (just a string denoting the particular year in question), and "yearXPosition" (which is how far along on the x axis the attached movie clip should be.the string I retreive from php looks like this:
yearOf1=1976&yearPosition1=0&yearOf2=1977&yearPosi tion2=350&yearOf3=1978&yearPosition3=1350&yearOf4= 1979&yearPosition4=1700&yearOf5=1980&yearPosition5 =2050&...ect.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add And Remove Email Field TextBox Dynamically
Apr 29, 2009I am having a problem in adding and removing the the email field text boxes dynamically. I have an add button beside an email field. On clicking it a new email field is generated below it dynamically with a remove button beside it(this too dynamically). The problem is if I have added 5 email fields and I want to, say remove the third email field, then i have to reset the 'y' position of the subsequent email field text box; i.e; I have to reset the 'y' position of 4th and 5th email fields. This problem becomes serious if I have 10 instead of 5 email fields. I have learn that in Javascript we can do this use of a container that automatically resets the position of the text fields. Is there any way out in Flash for this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Creating Separate TextBox For Each Result?
Jan 12, 2006I'm loading in some data from an XML into Flash then searching a level and returning a number depending on how many nodes are on that level (at the moment is "2") Then I collect bits of info from each and trace the results which works fine, problem is I can't seem to create a separte textbox for each result?
Code:
_root.total = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
venue[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[8].firstChild;
team_a[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild;
team_b[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild;
kick_off[i] = _root.xmlNode.childNodes[0].childNodes[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[5].firstChild;
trace((venue[i]) + ": " + (team_a[i]) + " v " + (team_b[i]) + ", Kick off at " + (kick_off[i]));
I thought I would just need to write something like:
fixture[i].text = (venue[i]) + ": " + (team_a[i]) + " v " + (team_b[i]) + ", Kick off at " + (kick_off[i]);
But that doesn't work..it just displays the 2nd result

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adjust Spacing Between Dynamic Text Width
Apr 4, 2011I'm building a dynamic menu and am struggling to give the same distance to the text fields with different widths. When I turn on the "autoSize TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT" some text fields are overlapped, and, aligned when I turn off, but, they all get the same size (100px by default - dont know why), which makes the distance between them unequal.
Here is the code:

Flash :: Getting A Reference To A Textbox In Order To Dynamically Change The Font?
Jul 4, 2011I am unfamiliar with Flash and actionscript and I need help to dynamically change the font of a textbox based on the value of a flashvar. I have a flash template whose content I can edit through XML. The flashvar value specifies the language and points to a different XML file. This works without problems, and I have found online a way to change the font via actionscript. However I need help on how to get a reference to that textbox.
There are two files an .fla and Main.as file. Within the fla file there is a single Scene and when the textbox is selected the properties display "thisLogo" as its name and "Dynamic Text" in the combo box below. Within the Main.as file I have attempted to add the following code:
[Code]...
1119: Access of possibly undefined property thisLogo through a reference with static type Main.
Flex :: 3 - Diagonally Draw Text In A Shape And Adjust Size
Mar 30, 2011I'm trying to create the following component: Just for information, the blank space will contain a text control, and I'm creating a component that represents the black corner with the (i) icon and the "promotion" text. The part I'm having issues with is this component representing the black corner with the diagonal text. The text has to be able to hold 2 lines. And the black corner has to be able to adjust to the text's size. What's more, the text has a rotation... I'm having some doubts on how to do this:
Should I have different controls for each text line? Should I draw the text in the shape (after doing the rotation) or should I just overlap both components? [When I talk about drawing the text in the shape, I mean in the same way as asked in this question] Is there any way to get the proper size of the triangle shape without doing some extravagant calculations?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Too Much Text In Textbox?
Oct 21, 2011I have a textbox (actually, quite a few, I am working with lots of actionscripting/manipulating text), and it seems like the more text that's in the textboxes, the slower flash processes things. I understand like if I had 2 billion characters or something, but were talking a major slowdown between a difference of 300 and 800 words. I would think that flash should be able to handle that. Some are htmlText boxes, and so this added 'hidden' html tags creates lots of slowdown as well. I have cleared variables after using them, and it has helped somewhat, but not very noticably.
