Oct 12, 2010So I have this text field that I am able to transform, AND I want it to stop at a certain width. The width I want it to stop at is the longest word in a text field. Essentially stopping the text from wrapping around and cutting the words in half or splitting them up. In theory if you set the width of the text field to low enough it would have a word on each line, but would never cut the words up.
This text field has a TextFormat attached to it by the way. AND so far the only idea I can come up with is to create a second textfield hidden away and put the longest word (not sure how you'd get that) into that field and measure the width. What I'm wondering though is if there is anything in possibly the getBounds method or something simular that does this already!?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Insert Word Before Dynamic TextField?
Apr 24, 2009I searched the forums and couldn't find anything relevant to my issue.I'm creating 3 textfields and loading XML into them. What i need is to add a "label" before each textfield on the stage. For instance i'm pulling a city name from the XML file,i want to insert the word, "Location" on the stage before the textfield with the city's name in it. Here's a snippet from my code where i'm loading one of the variables into one of the dynamic textfields.
Code:
var where:TextField = new TextField();
where.text = eventsXML.Event[0].City;
where.x = 85;
where.y = 81;
I want it to appear on the stage as: Location: Sydney, Australia

View 4 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic TextField With Multiline Without Word Wrap
Jan 19, 2009Is there a way to show a long text in a dynamic text field with multiline attribute = on, without word wrapping? E.g., A dynamic text field contains 2 lines, and multiline is set to on. If I try to display a text in the text field, it is wrapping at the word, thereby losing some space in the text field (see code below):
my_fmt.size = 50;
this.createTextField("my_txt", 1, 100, 100, 280, 150);
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.text = "One Hundredyears of solitude";
my_txt.setTextFormat(my_fmt);
The display is showing only "One Hundredyear" in two lines, and the rest of characters are below the visible text area. The issue here is in the first line there is only "One" displayed, leaving a lot of space. If I can accommodate more characters in the first line, without word wrapping, the second line can accommodate the rest of the characters.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Tooltip To A Specific Link / Word In A Dynamic Textfield?
Feb 25, 2010I've been searching around the web for a very long time but I can't seem to find a good solution for this pickle:I have a dynamic textfield on AS3 and would like to add a tooltip to some words within the text. I already got the tooltip class, so the problem lies in fact on 'how to listen to mouse over events on specific texts inside a textfield'I've been trying to follow some methods from the livedocs but all I can get so far is a rectangle object of a single character using getCharIndexAtPoint and getCharBoundaries. It works if I just needed to add a tooltip to a single character (since it can detect which character I'm currently pointing at), but I need to search for actual words. It would be nice to have some sort of getMouseAt(text:String) but that doesn't seem to exist.

Mar 29, 2012I programmatically created a textfield and I added it to the stage. I placed the textfield close to a dropdown menu that expands when a user hovers over it. Whenever I hover over the drop down menu, some options are hidden because the textfield behaves as if it has a CSS z-index greater than the css z-index of the drop down menu.
I do not have access to the code that created the drop down menu. How do I make it so that my textfield is behind the drop down menu?
Notes the reason I can't programmatically access the dropdown is because I don't have access to the code of the main flash object, whcih is hosted by a 3rd party company. I'm building a plugin. The remote server looks for plugins on my computer and hooks it in.
Sample Code
package {
import flash.system.Capabilities;

Oct 13, 2009I'm new to ActionScript and I'm having trouble creating a navigational index for my company's catalog. I've created 6 dynamic TextFields on the stage, given each of them a unique instance name (one, two, three, etc.) and have assigned to each of them the same eventListener and pageJump function via AS.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Selecting One Letter From A Word Array (to Start Off A Word Game)?
Jan 2, 2012I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Drag-the-word Quiz - Make The Word Fit Into The White Box?
Apr 1, 2003I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField WordWrap Causes Indent On First Line?
May 23, 2008I have a bunch of text I am working with from XML and when I import it into my text field it becomes automatically indented on the first line. Is there a way to lose this indent? If I take off word wrapping it does make the indent go away, but then of course the text spans across further than the text field horizontally.
Here are some of the properties I have assigned to the text field I am using:
ActionScript Code:
myTextField.htmlText = txtPath; //txtPath is the loaded and parsed XML
myTextField.multiline = true;
myTextField.wordWrap = true;

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Wordwrap Line Breaks In Textfield?
Jan 23, 2011when I put WordWrap on in an input textfield, all characters off the width of the textfield get put on the next line. However, when I look at the htmlText property of that textfield, I see no evidence of such a line break.I've learned that's because it's a soft line break, and not a hard line break. My app has a feature that requries me to know the number of lines in the textfield. I had been calculating this by simply scanning through the htmlText property of the textfield and counting up the presence of "</p>". However, the wordwrap soft line breaks don't leave any evidence of such in the htmlText property
