First off when I test this out, "Fixed!" becomes underlined too, and that only happens after I add the font color, second how do I get it to open in the same window?

I'm using an as3 TextField called textField and I'm updating the .htmlText property to include a hyperlink. I'd like to know if anyone knows how to make the hyperlink open in a new window or is it limited to opening up in the same window?
View 1 Replies1) how do you open a new window if you have thumbnail pics in the flash movie but want the full pic to open up in a new window? Is this Javascript inside flash?
2) How do they do the menu bar here at this site:[URL]
I work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.

View 1 RepliesI have an html text field that I want to use as an ongoing chat field (dynamic) and since flash has alignment issues with images inside text, I thought I'd embed a nice picturesque font and then just code them apart
e.g <p><font face='_sans' size='12'>Hello </font><font size='21'> there</font></p>
The embedded font is the default font for the textbox, so only the non graphical text needs to have a font face. So in that example "Hello" would be in text and "there" would be the graphical font.
Problem is, after much trouble even getting the font to embed and appear, that the sans text never appears.Also, Iam constranied in that I have to publish as flash 6.

View 1 RepliesI have a timeLabel that is an instance of Label. When I trace the htmlText properties of that timeLabel I get:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">0%</FONT></P>
How on Earth can I change the color of this font?
1. I need to put different font style in one single dynamic textfield. For example,the text is :"Welcome, Fred" and I want Fred to be bold and use "Vernada" as its font while others are left as "Arial"2. I am using embeded fonts and htmltext here, the strings are loaded from external xml files3. I found in the doc that the font tag could do this. So I set the embeded fonts to "Arial" for the dynamic textfield and add <FONT ACE="Vernada">Fred</FONT>in the xml files, but it will not show "Fred" at all4. Of course I added both "Arial" and "Vernada" into the library.5. The problem is when I change the embeded fonts into "Vernada" for the dynamic textfield and modify the xml like <FONT FACE="Vernada" SIZE="25">Fred</FONT>, it works this time. I mean the character size changed to 256. My conclusion is that the font tag only works when its font-family setting for its textfild is as the same that you want to set.
View 13 RepliesI'd like to remove the font tags from the htmlText string produced by a TextField leaving the surrounding nodes and any bold etc tags within intact.
Example partial output of htmlText:
<P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="ChampagneLimo" SIZE="18" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Lorem Ipsum</FONT></P>
My plan was to avoid trying anything with regex and create an XML object.
However if I create a new XML object containing a root node and then attempt to appendChild the htmlText string so that I have a valid XML object to manipulate I run into a problem with html entities, see example below:
<html><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="...
How can the font tags be stripped from htmlText and how can I create a valid XML object from the htmlText string? My plan was to use the XML replace() method
I have the following code in AS3:
var str:String = '<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Lo<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">re<FONT FACE="GG Superscript">m</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="GG Superscript"> Ip</FONT><FONT COLOR="#990000"><FONT FACE="GG

It seems htmlText is rearranging the html tags. Even though the output is the same, I need the original html back since I am making a text editor and the AFTER htmlText is messing up my tag calculations.
why does font embedding in Flash have to always be so difficult? I'm trying to add a new font for use in htmlText and its not working. I have a dynamic text box on the stage. I have Helvetica Medium, Helvetica Bold and Futura Bk and Futura Bk Bold fonts embedded using the Font Embedding panel. All four of these fonts work fine when I do the following:
[Code]...
So this only happens with text fields that are set directly on the stage at author time. Not text fields that are dynamically created through code. While yes, creating them through code is an awesome solution sometimes that's not really an option for me.
Code:
import flash.text.*;
// txt is a text field created on the stage with it's font set to "Verdana"

I have 3 embedded fonts in my library and I have given them a class name.Now I would like to use these fonts in HTML in a TextField object.How do I do this? I created a stylesheet and entered the font name, but it still picks it from my harddrive, because it doesn't work on other computers where the font is not installed.I have a font embedded named "Edo", and gave it the classname Edo.[code]
View 12 RepliesI'm in the middle of the painful transition to AS3, and have encountered a stonewall. In AS2 you could export any font for actionscript and use its identifier (for example "Font 1") in htmlText:
my_text.htmlText = <font face="Font 1" size="20">"+Some text+"</font>"
But what's the procedure in AS3, as fonts doesn't have identifiers, only a class name?
I want to do as follows: * click a "red" button write in textarea with red color font click "blue" button
* write in textarea with blue color font Isn't this possible in flash 10 using AS3 I tried using setTextFormat but the problem is i have to have text before inserting format on that.

View 20 RepliesSo I have a MovieClip asset with a dynamic textfield sitting inside of it. I export my .fla as a .swc to use within Flash Builder 4, and create instances of the asset with code, populating the text dynamically from XML.
My issue is that even though I have htmlText enabled, bold and italics tags don't appear to be working. I have a feeling it is because when I created the asset in Flash CS4, the text field makes you specify the font, and the subset of that to use (Regular, Bold, Oblique, etc).
Is there any way to get the htmlText to render bold and italics tags properly without having to completely rethink the way I'm creating all these fields?
I am having a major issue with a textfield. I have a dynamic text field which receives html so its htmlText I cant use the regular textFormat as the overrides the bold tags in the html. So I need to use css. Minor complication I have to do inline css as I cant load external data due to the project specs. Not a problem I have done inline css pretty easy. But they want a non web safe font. Again no prob I can embed fonts via the library. The problem is getting the css to use the embed font from the library. I have tried adding the font as a object to my code and then in the css referencing it via myfont.fontName, as a string etc.. 5
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to change the color of a textBox via xml but i'm stuck with this code:
ActionScript Code:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
function loadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData=new XML(e.target.data);
var titleColor:Color=xmlData.appTitle.titleColor.text();
sTitle.textColor = titleColor.toString();
}
I am trying to print a string with html formatting. Part of the formatting includes font face. I have found that my print job will not print any string that includes a font face declaration. I'm guessing because the font isn't embedded, but I'm not positive.
This works:
string = "<b>bold</b> not bold";
Doesn't work:
string = "<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">this is my string</font></p></textformat>";
How can I get around this. I need the ability to print any font on a users computer.

In Flex Air app, how do you open a window behind an active one?
I tried following and i can't seem to get it to work
[Code]...
With this code, I would expect window1 to open behind the main app window and, in 3 seconds, window2 would open behind window1. But if you execute this, window1 will open on top of the main window and window2 will open on top of window1 and the main app will retain focus. This seems like a bug in the Flex. If so is there any workaround for this problem?
