Alright, so I have a Label (not a TextArea) that I want to contain the text: "Example<br>Stuff" I set the labels htmlText to this text, but for some reason the <br> is ignored. I tried researching information about this problem and people said to use the multiline property on the text object. However, this property is only for TextAreas, and not for Labels. Is there any way to have multiple lines with htmlText?
[Code]....
I'm importing html in Flash 8 and the dynamic text box won't see the text in a paragraph as one single string. Wherever there's a line break in the external text file (not using html tags), it also shows that break in flash unlike a regular html page which ignores these line breaks. I don't even need to use the <br> tag to make an intentional line break.
View 1 RepliesI have a TextField that uses a stylesheet and gets its text as htmlText. That text is read from an *.xml file with the neccessary CDATA tag. The htmlText is read correctly (I have a debug output to check that), and when displaying the .text attribute, it shows line breaks as expected. multiline, wordwrap and condenseWhite are enabled. No AutoSizing is done, instead I set width and height of the field manually.
But the text it actually shows on the screen is all shown in one line, with multiple lines being drawn in the same line. It also seems to interpret the html correctly, as the words with '<b></b>' around them are bold. Only the line breaks are not working. The height can't be the problem as I set it manually to a value high enough, and debug output shows that it really has that height.
This only happens when viewing the *.swf online and only with empty cache. When I press F5 in the window, the TextField works as intended. So it works offline and when it has already been loaded.
But the creation, scaling of the TextField and filling the TextField with text is all done in the same function, without any breaks so I really don't know how the cache could possibly affect this.
When using a StyleSheet with html text in a dynamic textfield with embedded fonts line breaks are ignored. It is as if TextField.condenseWhite is being set to true. Essentially the <p> tags are being treated as a <br/> tag. If I don't embed fonts it works fine. Another weird thing is if I add an empty paragraph <p></p> between the first two paragraphs it makes any subsequent paragraph behave correctly.
E.g.
<p>first paragraph text here</p>
<p>second paragraph text here</p>
<p>third paragraph text here</p>
Displays as if there are <br/> between each one.
But
<p>first paragraph text here</p>
<p></p>
<p>second paragraph text here</p>
<p>third paragraph text here</p>
behaves correctly even for the third paragraph.
Here is the code I am working with (using XML as I am dynamically populating the textfield from XML). After reading [URL] I tried the same experiment using a TF drawn in the IDE, the results for each, even though the TextFields are essentially the same are totally different. Updated Code accordingly - just need a TF on stage, called "ideTextField" with font 'Arial'.
For some reason, when I import my external html to my page, I'm getting extra line breaks. Even if I don't use a <br> in the line, but do a hard return, I'm getting a line break. So that's weird too. As well, it doesn't do the bold (which may be an embedding issue, as I'm using a nonstandard font. I've got the normal font embedded. of coruse, the italics works, which is weird.). What am I doing wrong?I don't think it does anything, but I've set the textbox to "render as HTML," if that effects anything.
My AS code:
ActionScript Code:
dynamic_txt.visible = false;

I'm having a problem with my imported HTML text - basically when I switch on 'Embed fonts' for a text field, Flash will only ever render one line break, regardless of how many </p> <br /> or whatever other type of line-breaking tag you can imagine are present.What this means is that all my paragraphs are squashed up into one, with no double line-break after the closing </p> tag, as you'd expect.I've used html text with css before and normally experience the opposite problem, whereby whitespace linebreaks in the imported text are rendered, but this problem is a new one on me.
View 1 RepliesI have the following text string:
var myString:String = "This is <i>italic</i>.";
When displaying this in a dynamic text field using the following:
txtFieldOnStage.htmlText = myString;
The word "italic" is correctly showing as italic text.However, I need the same result in a radio button component label that is already on the stage.If I use the following code:
rb.label = myString;
The "<i>" and "</i>" show up in the label.Is there a way to get the radiobutton and checkbox component labels to read the HTML code like the dynamic text fields do?
I put together an .html page using a photoshop jpg that I sliced into sections. I was asked to replace two graphics from the original .jpg file with animated content of the same size. Using my slices as a guide for size, I created the two animated graphics in flash and saved them out as .swf files. They are both the exact same size(px) as the static images. I opened my newly sliced html file in dreamweaver, deleted the static images and placed the .swf files.
For some reason the .swf files cause gaps in my html page. Tere are no borders on the .swf files and I can't figure what I've done wrong.

1. I have a collection of text input fields and each one has a label next to it. Right now those labels all appear in black. How do I get them to display in white so they are readable on a dark blue background. Can I assign a color those labels in the "AC_FL_RunContent" script in the html page or does it have to be done in the fla? If it has to be done in the fla can you describe the steps I need to take.
2. I have to pass a URL with getURL which is functioning BUT, I need to append a series of parameters so it looks something like this
Code:
getURL("http://mymail.playourvideo.net/forwardvm.php?acct=the valuse of the acct textfield instance");
I've tried doing this for each parameter in the function that fires when I click the Send Button it's obviously the wrong approach.
Code:
function doSendButton()
{
_root.acct.text = acct;
_root.sname.text = sname;

Isn't there a way (as2 code?) to have flash format the text just like a browser would if it were a normal html page?

View 9 RepliesI'm using bulkLoader to load an mp3 and an flv using their simple-example.as
It works fine if I make the SimpleExampleMain the file's class, loads sound and video and plays them both when they're finished. However, if I DON'T make it the class and just use:
Code:
var se:SimpleExampleMain=new SimpleExampleMain();
it loads both, plays the audio fine, but doesn't show the video?? It says that it's loaded, but it doesn't show anything. NOTHING is different except it's not the file Class...
Here's the SimpleExampleMain.as:

hopefully this is possible:
-1 large html (home.html) file houses 2 html files (aaa.html and bbb.html)

-bbb.html is empty

I'm new to flash and AS3, and have just figured out how toload an external XML document into a textField, which is thenstyled via an external CSS document. The styling works fine,colours change, font size changes etc... But! And here's myproblem, when the xml data is loaded into the textfield, where Ihave nested styles, it creates a line break.I have created a textField on the stage with an instance nameof: eventsContentTextFieldWhich is set to dynamic, scrolling (with a UIScrollBarcomponent), html and multiline.

A client is having me convert an HTML5 video web application that I've already built into an AIR app.
The end users are going to need this to work with no internet access, so I MUST include a LOT of video files with the installer. This works fine on my machine, but my client can't install it because the .air file is too large and they don't have enough RAM. We'll need this installed on a number of laptops that aren't super powerful.
My SDK is up to date and we're using AIR 3.1. Has anyone else run into a similar situation? Is there any workaround? For instance could I either include both the installer and the .air in a zipped folder, then have the installer move the video files to the appropriate location, or use AS to have the installer download the files (they will have internet access when installing).
I'm attaching the fla file for view and playing pleasure, I seem to be running into an issue where I have a myriad of KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN events that work beautifully the first time through the swf. When I hit either of the "Play again?" buttons, which are coded back to the first frame with a gotoAndPlay(1) function, the swf plays again but all the keyboard events don't work. The third time through the if/else function that decides whether or not your little spaceship crashes or not doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesFor some reason or another, after a </strong> or </em> tag, flash inserts a line break after it.
So it is like this:

I have one swf which calls xml having Unicode characters in text box. But it breaks characters from single word at the end of line when displayed.
why it dosent recognise the word just like english text? is there a wayout?
I dont want to insert line breaks in xml.
I'm not sure if its a specific cs5 problem, but my dynamic text boxes started breaking for seemingly no reason. I will tell it to display the contents of a variable, something like:
var myString:String = "15234m";
TextField.text = myString;
And on screen it will display something like "m" or "1"
Ive pulled up old flash files, that were working, and as soon as I save them out as cs5, all my dynamic text fields stop working correctly.
I have narrowed my issue to this. If you create a sprite add a square and a startDrag on press to that sprite. then add that sprite as a child to a container sprite. Create a button on the same level as the container sprite and add a mouse click listener that causes container sprite to rotate using rotationY or X. Now run it, first you will notice you can drag the square no prob. Once you hit the button and rotate your container using rotationY or X the drag does not work. Other properties such as x, y , alpha can still be set but startDrag or stopDrag. I think this is a bug as I have found several people reporting on this but not solution.
View 2 RepliesI have a small movie with a stop() on the last frame to prevent the movie from looping. On the last 10 frames or so a button appears that when clicked, goes to an external web site. The button will work until the timeline hits the last frame with the stop(), and at that point no longer works. The user is left sitting at the last frame of the movie, trying to click a button to visit another website and nothing happens.I have the button's actionscript in a separate layer starting from the same frame as the button (named buttonMBP) appears in the timeline:
Code:
buttonMBP.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, urlJump);
function urlJump(event:MouseEvent):void{
if(event.target == buttonMBP){[code]...
If I add trace commands to the function, I can see them work as I click the button when the last 10 frames are playing, but once the last frame appears with the stop(), everything goes into a dead stop. I guess the stop() stops everything and not just the timeline? I'm fairly inexperienced with AS3 (trying to learn).Is there a better way to have an active link appear on the last frame of a movie? I went with using a button because the standard text-tool doesn't support a mousehover (or not one that I could see) that would indicate that the text was an active url.
I am developing an admin tool for a client. There is a textarea in the tool that the client will type out a description for the video he wants to upload. This description sometimes might have a few paragraphs. I am pushing the data from the textarea into an HTML file and saving on the server so that it integrates with his site. My question is, how do I detect the line breaks in the text area and change them to HTML breaks <br> once the user submits the data?
example:
Hello, this is a test.
should be turned into:
this is a test.<br><br>?
So I've got a swf that's loaded from one domain into another, without the host swf setting Security.allowdomain.The problem is I'm using comboboxes in the guest swf, which try to add a few listeners to the stage.I'm able to work around one issue by setting a flag when a CB is opened, then having a catch-all mc listen for clicks, see if they're open, and close them and use focus manager to shift focus.
View 1 RepliesI've got a Next button with a rollover that works fine. However, when the user reaches the end of the page, the button needs to flash to let the user know they need to click it.
I set this up the way I would have in AS2, with an up state in frame 1, rollover state in frame 2 and frame 3-10 has the animation for the flashing state. In AS3, as soon as I put the animation in, the rollover no longer works and I think it's tied to my animation layer since it works if I remove that layer. I tried putting the layer under my normal button layer, thinking it's not recognizing the animation as part of the button. I tried using classic tweens and the new tweens and nothing seems to work...
I attached the file. You can see that the rollovers work, if you click the pause button, it triggers the flashing animation and then, I get the following error if I try rolling over:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at buttonRO_fla::MainTimeline/BtnIn()
and tracing the target name no longer shows the button name (as it does before you do the flash)...
I found a reference to CS3 Flash's auto format breaking AS3 code on kirupa back in May 2007 but was surprised to find out that it still breaks code by removing parenthesis.Beforetruescale=Math.pow(8,(1 - i) * scaleit);Aftertruescale=Math.pow(8,1 - i * scaleit);Obviously the results are devastating. Would someone check to see if CS4 Flash's auto format still causes the same error when editing .as file? Might be worth the price of an upgrade if it does NOT mess up the format.
