ActionScript 3.0 :: Embedding Text Formatted Via CSS?
Jul 28, 2010
So this code works fine in terms of rendering and formatting text:
PHP Code:
var ss:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
var H1:Object = new Object();
H1.fontSize = 24;
[Code]....
But the fonts are not embedded. If I want to reduce the textfield's alpha or rotate it or some such operation, I need to embed the fonts.
If I uncomment tf.embedFonts = true; then the text disappears.
So what's the next step? I'm familiar with various ways of embedding fonts --using fontName with a Library font, or embedding using the Flex SDK in FlashDevelop. But I don't know how to approach either of those in the case of text formatted via CSS.

I am using a dynamic text field to show html formatted text from .txt files. I have set the html property both in the properties panel and in AS, and it mostly works. All html formatting show up just fine, except for when "&" is used. Flash CS3 documentation indicates that & is supported, so.? All text after the & does not appear: the only text loaded is that that comes before it. I am using CS3, AS2, publishing in Flash Player 9. Sorry if this problem has been addressed elsewhere, but I've had no luck with my searches.

I'm wondering if purepdf has the ability to save formatted text from a user-inputted text field. If so, how is this achieved? From what I understand, purepdf is basically iText, and I believe iText has the ability to parse HTML and save formatted text into a PDF. Does purepdf have that same functionality that I can tap into and plug in 'textfield.htmlText' somewhere?

I am trying to display an HTML formated file in the text Area.It should be straightforward task using the following code:
//----------load text file------------------
var loader1:URLLoader =new URLLoader();loader1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,displayText);[code].....
This uses a text area component dragged to stage and named myCV_TA. No text is displayed with that code.It does work when an ordinary text is used and myCV_TA.html/text is changed to myCV_TA.text.Tried many things and decided to live with the simple text file and apply some formating to it://----create textformat object
var mytextformat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();mytextformat.font = "verdana";mytextformat.size = 16;mytextformat.color = 0x006600;[code]....
This code does not apply any formating, the simple text file is displayed but without any formating .

It is simple to format text with setTextFormat. But is there any affective method for retrieving all the styling that has been made on the text? getTextFormat is known but it doesn't work on text that varies in formatting.

People have asked how to make a text editor with css formatting before and the answer has always been with reference to the manual - "it can't be done".But what if you didn't accept that something can't be done?I'm thinking some sort of translation class to convert between textformat and css.Or bin the css for the moment of editing and then reapply when the user has finished.

I know that I can use CSS styles with HTML-formatted text in Actionscript. I have TextField, and there is HTML-text such as b and p tags. I want to change styles of those elements. I know a lot of CSS, but I don't know how to use it with Actionscript 3 and Flash. Here's my code.

I'm trying to load html-formatted text in from a file to put in a text area (which is set to render text as html text). The htmlFile instance is of XML type and it reads in the file correctly (I traced it) but when I assign it to the text area it reads as plain text instead of html-text. I use this code on loading event:[code]

A user, who is not familiar with html, wants to do very simple text formatting (font color, size, decoration) in external txt files that are to be loaded into Flash CS4 dynamic text fields. I know, some html tags can be used in txt files but the text becomes quite unclear. How is this issue usually coped with? Must the user learn a bit of html and use it or is there any other option?

I'm using the techniques discussed in this thread on ActionScript.org to load formatted HTML text into flash. I also want to scroll said text, and for that purpose I'd like to use Flashscaper's scrollbar. I've run into a bit of a snag, however.
The text displays fine. However, the scrollbar does not appear when initiated and the mask (a red rectangle) can be seen on the right side of the content area; not the entire thing, just a red area about 5-10 pixels wide. The text can be scrolled using the mouse wheel, so the scrollbar functionality is intact. I think this has something to do with the transition within the ContentText function, but when I comment that out, the text doesn't display at all, nor does the scrollbar. Listed below are the three components to this project.
ContentText.as:
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
As an update, I did get this sort of working by adding a button that brings in the scrollbar as a separate function. This works after the text's transition has completed. Perhaps I can simply tie the scrollbar function to a timer that fires when the text begins to load?

I've been experimenting with MXML- and spark-textarea (and richtexteditor)when I copied some formatted texts like Test tes1 from MS Word 2007 and paste them inside the flash textarea , the formattings are gone (I only receive the plain texts)But when I do the same to the Jwysiwyg (a jquery wysiwyg text editor), the formatting doesn't disppear.Is there a way to make flash textareas receive formatted texts without destroying the formattings?

I'm trying in vain to store and retrieve HTML formatted text in a XML node.I know it has to be held in CDATA brackets, otherwise the XML is invalid, but... this means that Flash doesn't parse the data as HTML, rather it just displays it as the raw text.

i am trying this:
open google docs, new document, and type in: hello world (world bolded)
then download it as html(zipped)
i unzip the html file, and save it to the assets folder in src folder of my Flex app
i have a Spark:TextArea instance and i want to do:
var importer:ITextImporter = TextConverter.getImporter(TextConverter.TEXT_FIELD_HTML_FORMAT);
myTextArea.textFlow = importer.importToFlow(htmlSource);
where htmlSource should point to the saved html file somehow
how do i do this? i tryed embedding, converting to ByteArrayAsset and to String, but i always get the source of the html file and not it's rendered rich text (ie "hello world).

ow do you display HTML formatted text in a Spark custom item renderer (Actionscript)?
Sample Code:
The html content in item.post_content displays as plain text in the IconItemRenderer messageFunction snippet below (which is just the default generated code for Icon Item renderer):
<s:itemRenderer>
<fx:Component>
<s:IconItemRenderer iconField="iconField"
iconWidth="64" iconHeight="64" labelField="post_title" messageFunction="getPost">

Im using a standard font (Gotham rounded) within a dynamic text field. As soon as I embed the numerals within this text field the text lowers within the text field.Double clicking the field then renders the text higher up! It seems that the height it shows when I double click is the height it compiles atThe other strange and annoying thing is that my colleague working on the same project is using the exact same font and same file but this doesnt happen to him and so the font redners out differently when he compiles

I'm having an issue embedding a font to rotate 90 deg. Below is code that works. My library has a Font item. The name is "test" and the font is "Arial".
ActionScript Code:
var myFont:Font = new test();
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat(myFont.fontName, 15, 0x000000);
var sideBarText:TextField = new TextField();
[Code]....
My text field appears sideways just as I want. My question is, how can I accomplish this WITHOUT having a prebuilt item in my library? I want to make it dynamically like: var myFont:Font = new Font(); or something, but can't find how to do it.
Is this possible? The reason is, all my info will be loaded in from an XML and I want the option to change the font from that, ie "Tahoma, Arial, Times, etc"

I have a very large text file (it's a 270,000 word list with one word per line) which I need to bring into my AS3 code. Importing it via url works just fine - loading it in as a string then converting to an array - no problems.
However, I need to embed it into my code somehow so that there are no external files (for easy distribution). Using a search and replace tool, I've tried several things, none of which have worked including:
Converting to a single space delimited string:
Code:
var wordList:String = "word1 word2 word3 ...";
Result: crashes compiler.
Code:
Converting to an array: var wordList:Array = ["word1","word2","word3", ...];
Result: crashes compiler too.
The same tests work fine with much smaller sized word lists, but apparently the size of my word list is too large to work. I know flash can handle strings and arrays of this size, because as I said, it works fine when importing the text file via url. I just can't seem to get it to compile it when I embed it into code.

I am having trouble embedding a font in my Flash file. I have the font in my library. I have the text field selected to that font with the * next to it. In my actions I have: vid_title_txt.embedFonts = true;
If I set it to false instead, it shows a different font. But if it is set to true, nothing shows.

I am using Flash Builder 4 to implement embedded text, what I would like to do is apply this embedded text to a text field in an external SWF (.fla file using Flash CS4).
My code is like so:
[Embed(source='//lib//fonts//Tahoma.ttf', fontName='_Tahoma', embedAsCFF="false")]
private var embedString:String; // added for embed font
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
[Code]....
I have set the fontFamily of the dynamic text field inside the .fla to a custom font and have the AnitAlias set for readability. The Custom font is set to 'Tahoma'.
