ActionScript 3.0 :: Image Embedded Into Dynamic Text?
Aug 11, 2010
on my site I have a dynamic text field and text is coming in from XML files..in the xml I embedded an image. Every time you click a button on the menu it changes the text and the image to correspond with that xml file. So here is my problem. When you click on a button it first tries to load all the text then resizes it in order to accommodate the image causing this "flicker" effect everytime you click. [URL]
Here is my AS code:
Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
[code]....
I have the img tag at the top of the xml in the "main" section flowed by the text..it wont let me paste the code here cause i havent been on long enough

So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?

I have a dynamic text field called a_txt on stage. And following code
Code:
a_txt.html=true;
a_txt.htmlText="<p>Currently there exists a temporary <p><img src='ico.jpg' height='25px' width='25px'></p>setup to compile the documents in to a self running CD (flash presentation).
So basically I'm embedding an image in the dynamic textfield, which is html enabled using img tag.
However the img sticks either to the left or right border of the textfield (by using align attribute of img).
But if I want to place the image anywhere between the text, tht's not possible.

I have a main flash movie that loads each link as seperate swf's inside an empty mc.. and inside THOSE swf's they load another swf for each section, like this..
mainFile>section1>contentA
mainFile>section1>contentB
mainFile>section2>contentA
mainFile>section2>contentB
Now my question is, can I use a dynamic text box with Verdana for my font in the "content" sections and have it come out looking sharp, or would I only be able to use a font if it's embedded??.. After a lot of trial and error I found the latter of the two to be right until I checked out 2advanced's site and noticed that they (I'm assuming) are doing they same thing as me as far as embedding their swf's so it looks POSSIBLE..

I have a series of dynamic text fields that do not show text when published. The fonts for these text fields are embedded and I do not get any errors on publishing. The project worked perfectly in CS4, but now in CS5, I had to re-embed all of the fonts in the dynamic text fields, but they won't show. What could be the problem?

I have created a movieClip and placed two dynamically created text fields within it. These fields use embedded fonts and work when I first add text and the format to themThe issue I'm having happens when I change the _alpha of the containing movieClip to 0. After that I can not get the text to appear again, even though the _alpha on the containing clip traces out to 100.I am not using the tween class on the textFields or containing clip to achieve the _alpha. I am however using the tween class elsewhere.

I followed the loading embedded SWF file tutorial and it works fine. I followed the loading external data dynamic text box tutorial and it works fine.... My problem lies when I combine them both. My main.swf contains an embedded about.swf. The about.swf contains a dynamic text box that reads an external text file. by its self, the about.swf works fine. For some frustrating reason (probably super simple), I cant see the dynamic text when I load my main.swf. On my main.swf the dynamic text scroll bar even able to scroll (as if something was there), but I cant see it or highlight it with my mouse.!

I am trying to create a text box with actionscript, using an embedded font, and populating it with HTML text. It seems I can either use an embedded font, or HTML formatted text, but not both. To illustrate the problem, I have created a little test.
1. Create a font symbol in the library. Export it for actionscript as "_mainFont".
2. Create a dynamic text box on the stage using _mainFont and type some random text in it, including the use of bold and italics. Set the font size and colour to whatever you like. Name the instance "templateText".
3. On the first frame, type in these actions:
[Code]...
The textbox should display correctly, using the correct font, colour and all the HTML formatting. Unfortunately, I need to create text on the fly. So modify the actionscript to create a new text field instead of using the template text:
[Code]...
What happens? I get the right font. The < font color > tag works OK, I get the breaks and the underline, but I get no bold and no italics. Finally, let's make some use of the templateText box by using its formatting. Replace the line:
var textBoxFormat = new TextFormat(); with
var textBoxFormat = _root.templateText.getTextFormat();
Now the text is formatted with the right font, the same colour and size of the templateText box, but I've lost the HTML font colour and underline in addition to the bold and italics.If I take out the Embed Fonts, I get back bold and italics, but loose font colour and underline, as well as the wrong font.

embed 20 fonts into a movie. Upon the user typing a word in an input text field AND checking a box or radio button indicating a font style, could Flash generate the input text to an output field with the font choice in the next frame?

I have a static textfield using Myriad Pro bold font that, when set to STATIC TEXT works absolutely fine, in the correct font. If I set it to DYNAMIC TEXT and test the SWF, the text shows up as a system font; not Myriad Pro If I set it to EMBED CHARACTERS the text doesn't show up at all on ANY system, whether the font is installed or not.
I have tried adding the font to the Library and using that "Family" for Properties>Character in my dynamic text box, but get the same results as when I don't set that to EMBED CHARACTGERS. I've tried selecting the font for the textfield as both the standard OS Font, as well as the one with the Asterisk next to it, but get the same results both ways. The library font is set to "export for actionscript" and "on frame 1". I don't think it's an issue with the font not being available, as I'm able to see it when setting textfield to STATIC type, and I use the font in other CS4 products (Photoshop, etc.).

i'm trying to use htmlText on a dynamic text field with embedded fonts. i've searched for an hour for an answer and i still don't have one.
on stage, there is a dynamic text field with no text. i've embedded both regular and bold versions of Myraid Pro. the text field on stage is set to regular (have to choose something). "Render Text As HTML" is selected.
the following code in my document class doesn't work:
myText.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;
myText.htmlText = "Not Bold <b>Bold</b>";
the html tags only work if the text field on stage is set to "use device fonts" in the anti-alias setting.

I have my main stage, and into this main stage I am embedding another .swf file (multiple instances on a map). I would like to be able to load dynamic text from an array (addressA) on the main stage into the embedded .swf - can this be done?
Here is what I have tried, and failed with:
1) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA;
2) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, creating a variable on the main stage of var embed = {url:'embed.swf'};, and writing AS in the main stage for embed.markeraddy_txt.text = addressA.
3) Creating a dynamic text box on the embedded .swf, giving it an instance name of markeraddy_txt, and writing AS in that .swf for markeraddy_txt.text = addressA[i];
Code:
addressA = [];
function parseXML(){ addressA.push(this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

I'm having some trouble getting my fonts to show up correctly. I have the fonts embedded properly, being read from an xml file. Attached is a screenshot - don't mind the terrible colors; it's all brought in through xml. The alignment of the text boxes are not complete, but I have the top headers set up properly, yet the right header is squished down.

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";

I've got a number of related projects set up in Flash Builder. Each project gets its graphical assets from an exported SWC file (or multiple SWC files.) This works fine, but I wanted to create a shared project that contains stuff used across all projects. The first item in there is a screen with a number of clips containing dynamic text fields on them. This screen (and associated assets) are exported to a SWC and then I have written code in the shared project to add functionality to the screen and buttons. I'm using 2 fonts, both are embedded.
Both show up just fine in my test harness, but when I link the shared SWC and src folder (which is required in order to use this code/assets in the other projects) the textfields blank out if I try to set their text properties. If I leave the default text (set in the FLA) it shows up, and the static text fields in the FLA also show up, it's only when I set the text property.
I've tried a number of combinations, including removing embedding, exporting for ActionScript, setting all textfields in the shared project to dynamic, all with no luck. The main project does have the same font embedded, and I've checked that the same glyphs are selected in both the main and shared projects. I realize this is a rather complicated setup, but I have yet to find a workflow to allow a designer and developer to work on large projects that is better (but I'd love to hear one!)

I am using Flash 8. For the site I planned to use dynamic text boxes for each page so my client can update the pages. There is no text, just an image.
Go to: [URL] After the intro, click on Featured Listings, Buyers Needs or Bio & References.
The image is distorted. Also, for some reason the dynamic text box is about 350px and the image size displayed needs to be 525 to fit correctly.
Here is the action script I used:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
myText_txt1.htmlText = this.content;

I'm having an issue with a scrollbar (slyder and line) going below the height of the text field when the text file contains a link to an image in an HTML text file. This only happens when there is a tag for the image in the text file, but not when it is text only. and the code for the text file:

My friend and I are in competition on who can make the most realistic Pokedex from Pokemon. He is using Javascript/HTML and I'm using Flash and embedding it into an HTML document. He has 36 weeks of work ahead of me (he decided to make 150 individual pages!) and he is nearing completion. I have had 6 days of work done. My problem is I can't figure out how to make it where I can change the the dynamic text and sprite with a CLICK function. Here is the rundown of my project:
All my dynamic fields and sprites (movie clips) are on "Layer 1". Each has an instance name and var of "pokeName", "pokeNumber", etc. I have a movie clip on "Layer 2" which has buttons embedded into it. I have a scroll bar that works (if that matters).
Code:
s001.CLICK = function() {
pokeNumber.text = "001";
pokeName1.text = "Bulbasaur";
