I have a text box that will be updated by my client. I want them to be able to include links in their text, but I really don't want to require my "not-so-computer-savy" client to have to remember to type this out everytime they need to add a link[code]...
View 2 RepliesI've followed the tutorial on importing data from an external text file into flash but I need to make the email address active.As per the tutorial the actionscript in the flash file is:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("data2.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.
I have just a simple code
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tlf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlf.x = 20;
tlf.y = 20;
tlf.width = 400;[code]....
and want the link underline to be removed and in best case format the line.
I am editing a Flash file and I need to change a mailto: link. When I edit that link to change the email address I get several instances of error #1056. why such an arbitrary change would break everything .
Edit: Here are the errors:

I used to have a little text panel (that sat with the color, swatches, and align panels) that I was able to open up and edit text size, color, underline, etc with. It had a much better text editing ability then the properties panel, seeing as the properties panel does not even bother to allow me to underline text or to highlight and edit a single word in a whole text box. Now I don't have it, I can't find the damn thing anywhere, and I want it back. How can I get it?

How do I underline dynamic text in Actionscript 2.0?
I tried wrapping the text with <u> and </u> but it didn't work, so I guess that's just for Actionscript 3.0.
I have a asp.net master page that gets used by pages many /levels/deep/. I will put a link to a flash file in this template. I tried doing it like this but it did not work, what the best practice here?
<object width="924" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="/live.swf">
<embed src="/live.swf" width="924" height="200">

View 1 RepliesI have created a RSS feed viewer, parsing the RSS feed with actionscript 3.0 and viewed on the stage in dynamic text boxes. The text in these dynamic boxes is scripted to link to web addresses contained in the RSS feeds in the same node as the text being displayed. So far so good. Now I need the text in these boxes to act as if they were HTML links and show an underline and color change when rolled over and clicked on.
View 3 RepliesSo if I want to imitate a link in as3, when I set
myFormat.underline = true;
the underline is directly underneath my text. Is there any way I can set the spacing of that underland?
I have some text in a Flex 3 application defined as follows
<mx:Text id="textbutton"
text="Link Text"
click="doSomething()"
[Code]....
It does not seem to work however as the text does not underline when I mouse over it.
Is there a way to do this purely through CSS or do I need to programmatically capture the mouse events and set the styles accordingly (seems like overkill)?
I use the setStyle("textDecoration", "underline"); for showing an underline on text hover. This works fine but the underline is touching the text itself. Is it possible to put some spacing between text and the underline?
Update: 02/072012 I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 so I cant use the spark solution for now. Im using Label component and setting the textfield's style.
I am very new to flash, but definitely not new to programming. Having a little trouble getting started, guess there is a steep learning curve... I want to make a simple rectangle with text in it, and on mouse over the text should be underlined.
I made a rectangle. I right clicked it and made it a symbol (button). I gave the button instance name "butt". I double clicked the button and added text. I made the text dynamic text and gave it the instance name "buttText". Then I got out of the symbol editor and went back to the main scene. In my first keyframe, I added this [code]...
I am trying to something very simple but I can't find an option to do that. I have a button that updates the ElementFormat, it can take care of bold and italic but the problem is underline. I can't find an option to set it as "underlined" or "not underlined".

View 0 RepliesUnderlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:

But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
I have some htmlText with a stylesheet applied. Have set text-decoration: underline to the links but there is no space between the text and the underline--the underline is stuck right on to the bottom of the characters. Makes reading the underlined text very hard. Any trick to making this render properly or are we just stuck with crappy underlines in Flash?

When i enter a set of values in it (say 10,66,33,45,2,4) I need these values to get displayed in those text boxes t0,t1,t2..

View 1 Repliesi am a beginner user of flash & i think i have mentioned this in my earlier post here few days back , i have just made a little dynamic text field and loading some html text and images into it via xml CDATA node. everything is working fine i just wanted to put some animation effects on my text field while loading it through xml ...i added some motion tween in the beginning which actually moves whole text field from out side of canvas to inside at its original place with ease out . its looking fine to me but i noticed that dynamic text loads a bit late and during tweening i just see empty text field .so i was wondering how to put some simple effects on loading dynamic text
View 3 RepliesI need to create a function with takes a text field and does two things with it.The first is to split text up into individual letters with each being a separate symbol. Basically the equivalent to breaking apart the text field, then converting each letter to symbols, then giving each letter its own unique name This is the way I'm doing it now and its very time consuming and not at all easy to update to text.The second part is to create an array containing all the instant names.For example if the text was "hello world", the function would create symbols with called n1 (containing h) , n2 (containing e) , n3 (containing l), n4 (containing l), n5 (containing o), and then the array would be [n1,n2,n3,n4,n5]
