ActionScript 3.0 :: Insert Word Before Dynamic TextField?

Apr 24, 2009

I 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

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic TextField With Multiline Without Word Wrap

Jan 19, 2009

Is 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, 2010

I'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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Width Of Longest Word In TextField?

Oct 12, 2010

So 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!?

Professional :: Why Does A Dynamic Text Box Have A Word Limit

Aug 18, 2009

I am having a few problems atm with flash and wondering whether I am asking too much from flash or whether I am being stupid. Basically what I am trying to achieve is a box that is 300px by 300 px, within that box I have some text that I would like to place inside. As I would like to be able to regularly update this box (its a news feed) I have linked it too a .txt file. The problems that I have come across is that flash seems to have a limit on the amount of text it will allow in a dynamic text field. As even tho I have more text in my txt document, its is not displayed. This is how I have come to the presumtion that flash must be limiting the amount of text.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic TextFields Does Not Display All Specified Word

Aug 19, 2010

I make a dynamic textfield, specify it's instance, then assign it a string or variable with AC, but often the dynamic text will not display all the text or variables. For example, I say
warning.text = "Please do not enter more info than necessary.";
Yet what appears onscreen, is:
"lease do not enter more ino tan neesary."
This happens no matter how big I make the text area, or how small I make the text, so I don't get why it's not all viewed. (Btw When I copy from the textfield I do get all the text)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Insert A Link Into This Dynamic Calendar?

Feb 20, 2009

I've got a flash calendar and if you click on a specific date it shows the event in a text box for that date. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to insert a linkable text into that event area. The flash file is associated with XML files for each month and also with an XML.AS file. The calendar (FlashGordon) can be downloaded here: [URL]Here is the code for the XML.AS file:

// XML LOADING FOR CALENDAR DATES AND IMAGE DISPLAYED
var xml:XML;
var displayImage:String;
var scope:MovieClip = this;

[code]....

If I insert a link inside the event line, for ex.: <event date="19" event="<a href="http://www.google.com/">Test</a>"/> the calendar won't show any events and obviously it's not working.how can I insert a linkable text in the event area of the calendar?

If they is ten buttons generated, how do I detect which button has been pressed to display the appropriate information in the pop-up?
