i am trying to load text from an XML file to a dynamic textfield inside a flash movie.. if the text written on the XML was something like: this is a text message... then it would work.. but if the text written on the XML was something like: this is a "text" message... then it would return an error...
how can i load XML text that has quotation marks in it to flash?
I've been trying to add quotation marks to a variable for the past hour or so, but I haven't been having much luck. Basically, here is what I am hoping to create:
Code:
blarg = W71;
temp = magic code that I can't figure out
trace(temp); // displays "W71"
I stumbled on a previous case of this [URL], but that method didn't work for variables when I tried it. Adding a + symbol before and after blarg gave me an error.simple way to incorporate quotation marks around my variable?
I'm having problem converting single ' and double " straight quotations to curly quotation marks: � � and � � in a long parsed xml data.
View 2 RepliesI created a contact form for this Flash site using Actionscipt 2.0 The problem I'm having is that when I try to enter the @ sign (shift+') I get quotation marks and vice versa as if I were using a Mac instead of a PC. This only happens in the contact form and works fine when entered anywhere else such as the address bar or a search engine.
View 1 RepliesI have created a dynamic text area that populates via an xml feed.it works really well. I found the solution from someone here.the only thing is I have the languages change from english-russian-arabic.this works well but arabic needs to be align from the right.

I would like to set a fixed width for an input textfield with an embedded font. I would like to have the option to left-, right-, or center-justify the text. This is proving difficult.
If I set myTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;, I get left-justified text, but the textfield width changes with each keystroke. Same trade-off with TextFieldAutoSize.RIGHT and TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER.
Now, if I use TextFieldAutoSize.NONE, then I can fix the width and height of my textfield, making it the size I want... but the cursor is always blinking in the middle of the textfield. What's the secret to justifying that cursor to the left [or right] and the textfield staying the size I initially set it to?
OK. I have a textfield which I am assigning text to dynamically. I would like this text to move from left to right as it comes into the textfield, similar to a wall street ticker.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to set left and right margins in textfield to be a certain amount of inches. How can I do this if the margin can only be set in pixels?
Won't it change whenever the resolution change?
I want the textfield in the application to be exported as a document file and printed. Is there anyway to set the margins that they are always the same no matter what computer or resolution it is on?
I have an input textfield, and when I click in it, all the text in the textfield moves to the left so you can't see it anymore. (Here is a screen shot of it with both textfields having "100" in them after clicking in the top one:'ve tried playing around with the different textfield properties (autoSize, condenseWhite..) and can't find one that fixes this.
View 5 RepliesHas anyone else noticed a lot of things breaking since flash player 11 was released? I have input text fields that display html content in them. They also have an image embed in them as well. Before people could enter text in them with no problems and now suddenly all the text types from right to left and is completely backwards?
Just to be clear it's not aligning to the right, the actual letters are coming out backwards like it might do for another language that is from right to left. These text fields are not TLFTextFields just regular textfields.
I have other textfields just like this that, but they don't have images in them and they seem to be working fine. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it with flash player 11?
using a one line TextField with a fixed width that display text from the keyboard. I'd like that when the display text become greater, it aligns itself on the right, and let appear all the new characters, making the left ones disappearing. That is to say, it slides from right to left, letting always the right part of the text visible. I've tried using the "align" property of TextFormat set to "right", but it doesn't work (it just good to align a paragraph), and cut my text.

i'm exporting xml from flash to a file on the server as a URLVariables string. When the file arrives on the server every double quotation mark has been escaped invalidating the xml. I suspect the URLRequest class may be doing this.

View 5 RepliesIs there something I can do to make it so that a flashvar can contain any sort of punctuation and not break the html code? Like some sort of encompassing brackets or something? Right now if I try to include some long strings that have quote marks or other characters that could have some sort of meaning in the code, then it tends to interpret it as code rather than a string. Anything I can do?

I've some components with dynamic heights. They have to be aligned with respect to the bottom of my canvas container, so I cannot set the same y for all components.
I could compute their heights and successively set the y but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it.

I need to create a movie from a photoshop file that pops up upon entering a site I work for. I was wondering the best way to do this. The movie does not need any buttons or interactivity. It just needs to show a simply process of going through necessary steps within the site. I know how to insert check marks shown below, I just don't know how to subtly highlight each box as if it was being scrolled over. Below is the file I need to turn into a flash movie
