ActionScript 3.0 :: Measuring Portion Of TextField In Pixels
May 26, 2010
I want to measure a portion of a textfield in pixels (let's say from index 3 through 10 in a 20 character textfield for example). Is there a method or simple way to do this or would I have to create a new temporary textfield and copy that portion over to the new textfield and measure it's width? I'd like to know because I've made style changes to the original textfield that affects it's pixel width and it would be a pain to make all the same style changes to the temporary text field just to measure it's width.

This should be straightforward, but I'm having problems getting a portion of a string from a dynamic textfield, which I need to manipulate. Say I have a dynamic textfield onstage that successfully gets populated with some data from a query string e.g.
Code:
FlashVars: 352746583part1
So basically I want to get a hold of the part after FlashVars: for further manipulation. I've tried something like this: (assuming that above text is visible in a textfield called t1)
Code:
testvar = t1.text;
testvar.toString();
finalvar = testvar.split(":");
[Code].....

I want to create a textfield that is either N number of pixels from the bottom of the stage or 90% from the top of the stage.
Basically i want the textfield to always appear near the bottom of the stage. What property of the TextField() object do I configure to achieve this?

I want to change the height of a textfield to 60 pixels, without changing the size of the text, and still keeping it centered. When I want to change the size of the texfield, I can change the length, but the height is unfortunately locked. Any ideas? (Unfortunately I can't provide a link or an image, since I haven't made 50 posts)

so instead of the pixels being dissolved, the pixels being added? :
ActionScript Code:
var Anim:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(blackbox);
Anim.startTransition({type:PixelDissolve, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:1, easing:None.easeOut, xSections:35, ySections:35});
basically what i would like is the end point to be the start point and the start point the end point.

I have a swf file that loads into my main movie, and within that swf there is a masked image that i would like to scale using zoom in and out buttons and also by using a slider bar.However i cant find any tutorials that will allow me to combine the two.I have used the following code for the buttons. Which seems to work ok but i would like it to be a little smoother. (using speed or some sort of easing??)
ActionScript Code:
zoomPlus.onRelease = function(zoomIn) {
if (test_shirt.shirt._xscale == 400 && test_shirt.shirt._yscale == 400) {[code]....
but for this code it keeps shrinking my initial object down to 10 pixels by 10 pixels..

I have a movie clip called column1_mc. when I click a button I need to move the movie clip in incremental moves consisting of 30 pixels.
column1_mc._y = 30;
Does not work because that is giving a _y coordinate.For example.I need to make the movie clip jump to _y 300 but make 10x30 pixel incremental jumps. Moving 10 times 30 pixel jumps.

Have any of you seen anyone use a measuring or dimensioning tool using Flash? I would like to have let's say a box. I would like a user to pick a measurement button and be able to click on the edges of the box and get its' dimensions.

For e.g.
function showIt():void {
something.visible = true;
}
function init():void {
[Code]...
In the above code, I want to measure the time taken to display st on screen.Is it enough to compute time2 - time1? Or should I put an event handler on render? Or some other way?

I'd like to know a way to measure the real length of a text string in pixels. The problem is that every character has a different width.The length property informs us of how many characters does the string have...but how do we measure the pixels (x space) in a precise way?

I am using a scrollbar as demonstrated in OO scrollbar part 1 and have it working great, except that when you scroll the text, it seem to add a bunch of space at the end of the text field and then does not scroll back up to the top of the text field, but rather ends up in the middle.
Seems like it is somehow measuring the height of the text field at the wrong time? I would guess that it has the right height dimensions (due to the extra space at the bottom) but that it somehow is getting the wrong y coordinate. [code]...

I am creating an animation with sound.The sound syncs with objects.Everytime I synch an object with a sound, I test the animation out by hitting cmd+enter.Is there a way to only test out a certain portion?It's a big time waste to test the whole animation every single time.

The problem is not playing part of an mp3, I know that can be done. But I'd like to cut down on bandwidth by loading a specified two-minute portion of each mp3. These files can be up to 20mb, and since users will play many of these songs (and probably move on after a minute or two of listening), it would be very inefficient to load the whole mp3. Can this be done or is there another method you can suggest? Possibly a server side script that slices and/or lowers the mp3's bitrate?

I have a Template that I bought for a client that wanted it. It has background looping music and my customer wants to add videos (FLV), no problem. Now she wants the background music to sop when the FLVs are playing and start when I exit the FLV and go to another portion of the site. I hope I am being clear.
I need the background music to sop playing when the FLV videos are playing. I have Google and found nothing really.

I need to know which part of the text is been modified by the user inside a Flex TextArea. I'm listening to TextArea's Event.CHANGE and my code run on everychange but i don't know what the user have done to the text and it's too long to process it again at every keypress or paste
We are still with Flex 3.5 but i may consider Flex 4 if the solution is easier.

I just saw one of the Sears websites in which you can "copy" a portion of the swf using a selection window. Once they click and drag and release the selection window, another swf pops up with their selection in it. Can someone point my in a direction for this copying functionality?

I am making a Flash CS5 application in which the user draws transparent overlays on a Sprite placed on top of an image. The user needs to be able to erase his input as in MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP. Because the Sprite is on top of an image, there is no safe clear color I can think of to draw over the section that the user has just rubbed his eraser over
