ActionScript 3.0 :: Fit Text To Area - Font Size Increase/decrease ?
May 23, 2011
I need to implement a functionality where a user adds some text into a text field. Next if a user clicks on a button, then the font size increase/decrease so as to accomodate entire text in the available area. That means if a user has added just hello world in 12 px font and text field size is say 400*200 and user clicks on the button, the font size increases such that the text is occupied in the complete text field. Similarly if lot of content is added at a font size of 16 or so then clicking on the button reduces the font size to make it fit into the available text field area.

I have a movieclip slider_mc that can be dragged across the screen. There are also lots of small movieclips on the stage that I would like to increase and decrease their size depending on how close the draggable movieclip is to them

I'm trying to get an object to increase in size the lower it goes down the stage, and decrease in size the high it moves up the stage.
It only needs to increase or decrease by a small amount. Basically, it's for a game character. To ad realism to his movements, it would be nice to have this feature.
This is where i'm up to so far:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
I think I need something like:
if (object moves up)
decrease
else if (object moves down)
increase

I am new to Flash & ActionScript 3.0 platform.My issue is: I am loading an image onto the stage dynamically using Loader & URLRequest classes. Whenever I click on existing circle[which gets created when I click on the loaded image, which is of Sprite type], the size of the circle should be increased to some extent(let us assume, basically circle(Sprite)is created with radius=3 when we click on the image, but, when we click on the created circle, it's radius must be increased to 5). It is the requirement.
So, for this to implement, Do we have any property or method to change the Sprite object's size directly?

Is there a way to increase the font size for the text in the user interface of the application, menus and panels for example? I have not been able to find any setting in the preferences for doing this.

I have a Dynamic Text area called txt, I write the value 5000 by txt.text="5000"; In my scene there will be 2 buttons. When one of the buttons is pushed the value will decrease 250 by 250. For example; at first push it will decrease to 4750, at the second push it will decrease to 4500 and so on...And when it is pushed to the other button this value will increase 250 by 250.For example; the value will be:4500 by pushing twice to the decreasing button, then it'll be:4750 by pushing once to the increasing button.I tried with the below codes but it didn't work. The value decreases only once, it doesn't keep on decreasing when I pushed twice to the decreasing button.The value seems as 5000250.

txt1 = txt.text;
Decrease.onRelease = function() {
txt.text = txt1 - "250";
};
Increase.onRelease = function() {
txt.text = txt1 + "250";
};
And there is one thing too I wanna make if it is possible; I want to place the decreased value of txt dynamic text to valuetxt dynamic text. For example; when the value is done as 4500 by pushing twice to the decraesing button, the valuetxt area will be 500. When the increasing button is pushed once, txt value will be 4750 and valuetxt area will be 250.

I'm trying to make selectable thumbnail images for a touch screen app where the user can touch the thumbnail image and turn a CheckBox on or off to select/deselect it.
The thumbnail images measure 100x100 pixels, and I want the CheckBox to be in the upper right hand corner of each image. When I go to the Adobe AS3 help site, it says that it should be possible to increase the size of the CheckBox hit area in one of two ways:
1) Select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform Tool or any of the Modify > Transform commands.
2) Use the setSize() method or applicable properties of the CheckBox class.
According to this same site, if you increase the size of the instance, you also increase the size of the hit area.
I've tried both of these, and none expand the hit area over the entire thumbnail. In fact, neither seems to increase the size of the hit area at all. In order to select a particular thumbnail, the user still has to hit the CheckBox.

i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)

I am new to flash but I have used motion tween before with Flash CS3. Now I need a text to decrease size and modify alpha so I wrote the text (one word), converted it to symbol (movie clip), create 2 key-frames (larger size, alpha 30% -> small size, alpha 100%) and "create motion tween" between. But it doesn't work i don't know why! This time I use Flash CS4 and I was wondering if there are some presets or something that I don't know. The arrow that suppose to appear between the frames doesn't ..only the frames change color.

I want to use two buttons, one for increase and the other for decrease, to change the numeric value of a variable. I will use this variable to call a line width in some lineStyle code that I have. Basically, the user will be able to use the buttons to change the width of the line they are drawing in real time. I have attached the fla with the beginnings of this section.
How do I get the buttons to affect my variable?

1. The are two buttons
2. If you click the first one a number is increaded by 1
3. If you click the second one the same number gets decreased by 1
4. For each there is an IF statement which starts a certain action
I can't figure out how to make this work. The following script returns only one number and thus starts only on action:
function ClipSelector(i:Number):Number {
i++;
return i;

What I'd basically like to do is have a slider that controls the size of a Movie Clip. When you move the handle to the right, the MC becomes smaller, and when you move it to the left, it becomes bigger. I found an article at Sitepoint (www.sitepoint.com/print/actionscript-animation-flash), which did the opposite of what I want to do, but I couldn't seem to reverse the code.

have created a scrolling text area in flash CS3 using a dynamic text box with text inside controlled by a couple of buttons using the .scroll property to add to the scroll value on each click of a button.i am wanting to add two new buttons to decrease and increase the font size of the text within the dynamic text area, which i thought should be fairly easy. i found a .size property which could be applied to text, but i do not think i am using it in the right way. here's what i have tried to do (where 'myText' is the instance name of my dynamic text area):
on (release) {
var myFormat = myText.getTextFormat();
myFormat.size += 10;
