I am browsing for a solution for about 2 hours, but I did not find anything that would help. I have a dynamic text field, and I would like to format it, (to highlight the first 2 words in red, and the rest in italics). Usually I load external .txt files and I use HTML tags for formatting the text inside. But this time I have to do it internally.

View 2 RepliesMy HTML tags are not working in a dynamic text box. Im guessing it is cause of the scrolling and maybe it dosn't see <br> so it dosn't allow them. This is the code i am using below.
TextField.prototype.maxviewable = function(){
if(this.maxscroll>1) return this.bottomScroll;
var b = (this.html) ? this.bottomScroll-1 : this.bottomScroll;
if (!this.length) this.text = ">>";

I am loading some text into a dynamic text field from an external text file using the methods described on kirupa's tutorials. I want to be able to bold some text, and make some other text links, using html...
I thought it might work if I just added the html tags to the text file, and the chose to render the dynamic text field as html..but the tags don't do anything, and are still read in as normal text.

I'm loading dynamic text from a textfile with some HTML tags in it. When I load it up, everything comes up fine except for the fact that any <a> tags remain active until the next <a> tag comes up. So there will be a whole block of text with a hand cursor that links to the previous <a> tag.

The textfield totally ignores the bold html tag. The right font is displayed but the html tags are ignored. So if I want one text field to be able to dynamically display bold and italics (html text) using a Font Face in my library...how do I do it? What am I missing?

I'm building this flash site for a friend and he wants to be able to edit the contents and maintain the site by himself later on. So naturally, I used a dynamic text field that uses URLloader to link to an external html, dandy. Problem is, my friend wants to use dreamweaver to edit the contents of html (or even just a word document exported as html) and it's just driving him nuts because the text look nothing like that way it did in DW when it's loaded into the dynamic text field (extra spacing and line break popping up randomly everywhere). Is there an alternative solution other then telling him to just edit it in notepad? What if I switch over to XML?
View 2 RepliesI am linking to an external text file, (.txt), and I am working in Flash CS3, Actionscript 3.0, and attempting to use dynamic HTML coding.The scroll bars work, but all the text after <font size=.... doesn't show up. Below is my actionscript for the text window:

The Lynda book I am using doesn't explain very much about the html coding beyond adding a few <it> and <b>. When I use them they show up fine. But when I place this text in the .txt file:
<font size=14> <align=left> Blah Blah Blah </font></align>
Nothing shows up! When I take away the <font size> al the text reappears, yet unformatted.
I am using AS2 and am trying to load text with the html formatting in place. The button for render text as HTML is clicked and I tried using the action script with the same purpose. Some of the html reads, such as <b> instead of <strong>, the <p> and </br> tags are working. I cannot however get <i>, colors, etc... to work. I have embedded all of the characters and glyphs into the dynamic text field. Nothing seems to be working for several of the text attributes which are present in the .txt file I'm loading.

If you're creating a htmlText field via the createTextField method, is there a way to get html formatting like <b></b> to show up if you are also embedding a font? I'm guessing not, since you can only embed a single font in a TextFormat, and you would have to embed both italic and bold variants too to make it work. Is this true?Maybe I'm better off creating a generic text field on the stage with both bold and italics embedded, and use the attachMovie method instead?This is my code:
ActionScript Code:
myformat = new TextFormat();
myformat.font = "Akzidenz_Grotesk_BE_Light";

So I am bringing in a blog post via xml/rss feed to the clients website. Everything is working beautifully except for the formatting. I can get it to look like I want it on my end if I ascribe a TextFormat element however, I would very much like to keep the formatting that the user specifies when they create a new blog.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to use a dynamic text box with HTML tags (<b><i><u>). I've tried loads of methods without success:
1. 3 dynamic textboxes placed on the stage with each font variant (bold,italic,regular), with embedding enabled for each. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
2. 3 font symbols with linkage enabled in the library. Then the main dynamic textbox with embedding turned off.
The font is not a system font btw. I have tried point 1 with Verdana and it worked. So is it an issue with a non system font with HTMl tags?

I have managed to get rid of unwanted line breaks and returns in the RSS text I am bringing in to populate my dynamic text fields. The Dynamic Text fields are set up not to render text as html, are multiline and have the fonts embedded. I keep seeing things like, <p style=""> at the beginning of the story or <THI.TO> in the middle of the story. Is there any way of deleting anything that appears as <anything> and replace with a space? Here is the code I am currently using to eliminate the line breaks. Also is there any way of turning hyphenation on?

the css file is good, xml loaded correctely, everything seams ok, exept for my textfield. it simply doesnt read the <spam class"someStyle"></spam> i also did the <![CDATA[ ]] on the xml.
I know that with actionscript you can assign certain formating to the HTML text that you use within your Flash animation.
My question is if you can also use actionscript to do the following.
In HTML when you assign as FONT format... font face="verdana,arial" when the user does not have verdana installed, the browser automatically choses Arial (or whatever font you indicated and available on users system) as font to use.
Is the same thing possible within Flash HTML text?
Obviously to prevent that when people don't have the particular font you use for your HTML text, everything screws up
