ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash AS Text Animation / Can HTML Format Be Kept ?
Jan 13, 2011
I am working on some text animations using ActionScript (3.0).The type of animations that I want require tweening each character of the text. Therefore, the way I want to do this is to break apart the text string, create a text field for each character, put it into a sprite, position the sprite so that the characters form a linear text and then tween the individual character sprites.But the problem is if I have an HTML string of text. If I try to break apart the string, then the HTML tags will break and they will be animated as if part of the text? Is there another way of achieving this type of character by character animation? Is there a way in which the HTML formatted text can be kept ?

A few days ago I manage to modify a code I get from a post here. The file was from tommywizbang[URL]It works fine, but at the end I have the idea of use HTML format to load images on the text block. The idea works fine with static text, but in this code is not working and I'm not sure if it is because of the original AS2...

I have flash animation (swf) in my HTML Page.
Now, I like to have my flash animated character (700kb) to speak dialogues, the related text should pop and go in the html side of the page.
I've already used this amazing cool script from Text highlight with audio sync in Jquery by Marnix van Valen & HTML5 works cool as he says. BUT, what about flash?

Flash newbie here, using CS5 on a Mac. I've created several Flash animation files, all about 25 seconds long. The animations are fairly simple, about 6 layers each, but all contain a lot of movement. I need to turn the animations into videos that can be played on computers that don't have any Adobe programs, i.e. Quicktime. This is where my issue comes in. The published .swf files work wonderfully, but when I export the files to Quicktime video (.mov) the motion seems to leave a "trail" of images behind it. The static remnants go away after a few seconds but are replaced by new remnants of the current movement. I've played around with the quality and size of the videos, but nothing seems to have helped. I've tried used Xilisoft video converter to convert the .swf files into .avi or .mp4, but the files couldn't be uploaded. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what steps I could take to export my .fla or .swf files into high-quality video files?

when you go to the home.html page an animation will play from start and then stop at the end of it. However, for all other pages i.e contact.html aboutus.html we need the animation to skip to the end straight away and not to play the whole animation through. I was thinking this would be controlled by a variable or some kind of external text file ect. Basically in the first frame the actionscript needs to basically say
"if this html page is aboutus.html then go to the last frame and stop" and with the index page it would say "if this html page is index.html then keep playing"

You can easily export Flash keyboard shortcuts in a HTML format but how on Earth do you import them? There simply is no visible way to do it in the keyboard shortcut panel? How do I go about doing this? (I'm using CS5.5)

I have a flash animation with the size of 1280x1024 and I want to embed it into an HTML file. I want the flash file to be displayed in 800x600. This is my code:
<html xmlns="[URL]" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body align="center"><object>
<param name="movie" value="/flash/connect.swf" />
<embed src="/flash/connect.swf" width="800" height="600"></embed>
</object></body></html>
Well, it doesn't work. I do have a 800x600 frame, but the flash file itself still displayed on its original size.

I've created a code that read the date of a day from xml and then put it into a textfield. Here the declaration of the textfield:
Code:
var dateTxt:TextField = new TextField();
After I set for the textfield a format and the maxchars property:
Code:
dateTxt.defaultTextFormat = txtSTit;
dateTxt.maxChars = 8;
But if I insert a number of characters bigger that maxChars it is inserted in the textfield ignoring the maxChars property. It's because I've set the defaultTextFormat before to set the maxChars property?

Trying to format input text fields using format buttons in Actionscript has been challenging. I've been able to put some pieces together, however I am still missing some things. Here's my code:
Code:
function selectText() {
startSelect = Selection.getBeginIndex();[code].........
I need the ability to click the Bold button and it bolds or unbolds at the cursor so if I hit the bold button what I type from that point on will be bold until I hit the button again and then it goes back to regular. I am able to change it to bold or unbold by selecting the text and clicking the button but I also need to do it without selecting.

I am developing some Text effects in AS3. I did complete curve text effect but are getting problem with bulge text. Because bulge text distort each characters so i have to convert the text to bitmap format to distort. The problem is the quality is not good enough, especially when we resize the object. I see in some websites they solved this issue and it works pretty good, like as [URL].

I have audio placed into a controller on a page, however when i load different browsers the sound files are either no even seen by the browser or they dont work. Ive converted the files to wav. which apparently works universally for IE,Opera, Firefox and Chrome, however changing the file format does not change this situation. I know it has something to do with HTML audio tag or something but I am still unsure

Now I need to render this video into my Flex Web Application. One way to do it, as I see, is somehow extract the 'data' attribute and put it as a 'source' for spark VideoPlayer. Is there any better way to do this? Also note that, I require to render all video formats (avi, mov, wmv etc.) and not just flv or f4v.

Noob question, I hope. I need to create scrolling text areas with rich text format content. I know I can use the textArea component and set the htmlText property but converting all of my RTF to HTML is gonna be a major pain in the @$$. I keep getting into trouble thinking what's mindlessly easy in Director/Lingo is gonna be reasonably simple in Flash/AS3, I hoping this is just my inexperience with Flash getting in the way. Is there an easier way? I thought of embedding a PDF document but apparently that's not an option in Flash either (note: I know how to link a PDF doc, I need this text to display and scroll within the application, not just pop a new window on top).
