Is there a way to create a linebreak in a dynamic txt box. Something like this
HP Code:
line1="1st sentence";
line2="2nd sentence";
line3="Space space i'm in space!;";
linebreak= //however you do one
listbox.text = line1 + linebreak + line2 + line break + line3;
The output would be
1st sentence
2nd sentence
Here is a snippet of code that will be useful for breaking text apart into individual textFields for each line.
Code:
//create a textField to break apart
var breakTF:TextField = new TextField();

I am populating a dynamic text box with some xml elements that I am calling on. For example, I have two text fields and am filling them using
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester);
texttime.textname.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
How could I populate one dynamic text field using a combination of the two elements above? I'd also like to put a line break between the two elements.I tried something like this and could not figure it out
texttime.texttest.text=(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].tester)+"/n "(bktrlXml.row[e.currentTarget.ivar].NAME2);
I have an input field with a variable that needs to be displayed within a dynamic text field. I have noticed that when I publish in Flash 8, there is a line break after the variable and I need to sentence to be continuous. This displays without the line break when I set the dynamic text field to "single line;" however, there is about a paragraph of text to be displayed so I need the text to be set to "multiline." For some odd reason, multiline displays a line break after the variable, whereas "single line" does not.
Here are my variable names -------------->>
Input Field variable name is "userName".
Dynamic text field variable name is "outputText".
The sentence to be displayed:
outputText = ""+userName+", and the sentence continues here for a paragraph and so on..."
How can I have the dynamic text field display continuously, without a line break?
What is the syntax for creating a line break in a dynamic text field?

View 1 RepliesI have a project I am trying to put together that includes closed captioning with a scrollbar (standard flash component). In my navigation file I have a text box with a dynamic text box with _level10.ccText as the Var
I have a series of pages that get called into a level below the navigation file. On each of them I have code in an actions frame _level10.ccText = "text text text text";
The text displays fine in the text box but when I scroll down the scrollbar scrolls down too far. The text gets to the end and the scrollbar is only about halfway down the bar. If I keep pushing the down button or drag the slider it will go all the way down but my text doesn't move. Its almost like there are extra lines somewhere that it is trying to scroll to.

I have a project ongoing at the moment that uses dynamic text blocks to form menu items and general project information. When loaded and run directly, everything is completely fine. However when i load the same movie through a loader flash, some (not all) of the text fields disappear.
All of the textfields are created on stage and have the correct font listed. I can trace the text fine, so it is applying ok. obviously the font is embedded because some of the text fields work, and all use the embedFonts = true, so it isnt a case of not looking for the right font.
Ok, let's see it:
ActionScript Code:
for (i=a; i<=4; i++) {
aux = _root["mc_dest"+i];

the focus on it is see if the "titulo" is longer than 26 characters, if it's true the just "cut" it on the 26 and then add "..." to the text.
