Well I have this dynamic textfield on stage, and it receives a String using FileReference.name. So far, so good.
I wanna know if it's able to make flash 'cut' some extra text from long strings and show ellipsis instead.
I mean, if it receives "ABCDEFGHIJ", if the string exceeds the textfield width, it would show "ABCDE..."
I 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.
For some reason, the data that is getting loaded into the text box is adding:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="0"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="20" COLOR="#005A80" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">undefined</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
quite a bit of information. I'm not sure why. You can see it here... For some reason, its only doing it to one of the text boxes..
HTML Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="flaPath=rtmp://66.135.60.21/carnegie/240308.flv&skinPath=http://newmediamill.com/pr

I am printing a dynamic text from flash. Every thing works fine, But I get unwanted spaces/ small boxes at the end of every page. Using string functions I tried to remove the last character if it is a space.Even though I am getting this problem.
View 6 RepliesI have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
I have a dynamic textfield that loads text from a txt file. The content of the txt file will be modified daily by the client.What i need is that if there is too much text in the txt file, the dynamic textfield resizes (and not only with autosize because the text can be really long).[code]it doesnt look very good but it works. The only problem is that if I have a really long text the maxsizeY doesnt work fine.
View 1 RepliesI have a dynamic text field which is just one line of text. For some reason letters like g or p that go below the regular line of text get cut off. I have made the field bigger, and also played around with the _height Property but it doesn't make a difference. I have imported the font into the Library. When I embed it the font doesn't cut off but looks very different. And if I change the field to a static field it doesn't cut off either, but the font looks a little different as well.

View 1 RepliesSome of the dynamic text fields in my application stopped working. This is part of a major application which I have been working on for a few months. It worked fine until today. 3 different dynamic text fields suddenly do not show text when I set the text from actionscript This is what I tried:
1) Tried with and without text embedding
2) Turned on and off html
3) Tried with .text and .htmlText
4) Removed the TextField and added a new one
5) Added static text into the dynamic TextField and did not add the dynamic text with actionscript --> the initial text appeared I am working with CS3 and recently updated. I am considering deleting Flash and not running the update.
I'm wondering whether it's possible to generate alias text in dynamic textfields, similar to setting text to "Bitmap text" when doing so manually. If so how would it be coded? I don't see any TextFormat properties that allow for such a thing.

I have no problem dynamically loading text if I place a textField on the stage but I can't seem to get the following to work using the createTextField. I shortened my code to make it easier to read and still show what I am trying to do. Also I can I place the text within the BlueMenu or only on top of it? Is so how?
Code:

View 8 RepliesI want to be able to apply non-style attributes to sections of text in a TextField. For example characters 30-45 will be set to animate in a certain direction.
As this field is editable characters 30-45 may no longer be at 30-45 if the text is edited in any way.
way to keep track of which characters had the attributes applied to them?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to load text into a dynamic text field, and if yes how could I do this? I've searched a few tutorials on dynamic text fields but it concentrates on scrolling. I would like unique text to load in the dynamic text field depending on which navigation button I click on.

I'm trying to trace the width of the actual text of a dynamic textfield (called 'label'). i know this should be
code: trace(label.textWidth);
however, all I get is an 'undefined' message in the output box. Whereas, if I trace(label.length) instead, then it counts the number of digits in the text field. I thought label.textWidth would work? I want to find the length of the text in pixels basically...
I have a MovieClip that has a Dynamic TextField: let's call the instance of the field txtName. I want to set the text field on the fly for txtName, so I add a little ActionScript (3!) that does it nice and easily: txtName.text = "Foo";reat. Now why isn't it working when I try the same thing from a parent MovieClip which contains the MovieClip that has the dynamic text? Example:Child MovieClip with TextField ActionScript 3 in Frame #1:
//------
function SetText(str:String):void {
txtName.text = str;

i have a movieclip containing a dynamic text-field in it. When movieclip is stretched using transform manager, the text stretches. i am developing a component. Moreover,Event.Resize can not be used as Event.Resize is the Stage event. it does not work for movie-clips and sprite.Putting it in Event. Enter Frame works but that hangs the whole CMS when this technique is used.

View 13 RepliesI created a somewhat custom Spark button by doing the File > New > MXML skin and basing it on spark.components.button. The problem is that I need to add an extra text field to the button component and dynamically change that text...but of course, the property isn't recognized on a Spark Button.
Is there a simple way to add this field to my custom button skin & its property so it can be addressed? If not, is there a simple way to take what I've done and just extend the Spark Button? I can't seem to find any examples that show how to do it without writing it all up in ActionScript.
Is there a way to hide partially shown text lines on a dynamic textfield that has more text than its size can hold? I want to avoid the situation found on the picture below by simply not showing the areas in red (the text comes from lots of sources, so I don't have control over it).
