I have a AS3 script where I'm using a TextFiled Object. I retrieve the text from the database with the help of a PHP script. The problem is how can I use RTL direction in a TextField Obj?
How do you get a textfield to resize in the vertical direction? Basically I have text being dynamically loaded from PHP into a series of dynamically created text boxes. Each new text box is placed below the previous one to create a list.The problem is that in some text boxes there will be more text content than others. So rather than fix the textboxes height and end up with irregular gaps between each one. I need them to stretch and shrink individually.
i have a scroller developed in as2. it basically scrolls continuously in a direction until the direction of the mouse is changed. the images of course loop in the continuous scroll. now the problem is that for 10-15 photos its ok. but when i feed it with 180 photos, it seems to show only 11. why would this be? any restriction on flash ??
have a ball with the name of mc which can be moved using the keyboard .. when you press the left mouse button shoots the ball, this ball and the other flies in the face where the cursor was in the shot .. but if you move the cursor to another location and shoot a second time then the second ball is also flying in the direction of the cursor and the first ball change direction toward a second shot ..
how can i make a movieclip and a textfield to resize to the content of the text in the textfield? I mean, if I have a textfield with 3 letters font name XXX and then the content of the field change, how can i resize te textfield so the text dont autoadjust to the 3 letter space?
Does anyone know, why a textfield may become white when loading text + JPGs into it? Sometimes it happens to me, sometimes not. I haven't figured out why. If you have any clues... The AS I'm using:
I am looking to change the background color of a input textField when the user selects that testfield to start populating it. I have done a bunch of searching and I keep coming up with this type of answer...
Code: myTextField.onSetFocus = Set(evt:Event){ // Change color }
Problems...
1) Is onSetFocus/onKillFocus still available? From what I can tell it is not.
2) I have my text objects encapsulasted in a class so I do not believe I am able to do it like I have been suggested.
I'm using the following to remove a textFeild from the stage I then need to add this textField back to the stage at a later time....i tried using addChild the problem is the text that was in the text field prior to the removal is still in the textfield when i re add it......How do i remove the textfield and replace it with a fresh textfield at a later time?....using msgTa.text =""; is not an option.
I just recently started playing with cs5 and it's new features. I tried to rotate a textfield with the 3D rotation tool, but when you do this, the textfields gets blurry.And it seems like it's not a vector text anymore, because when you zoom in, it still is blurry.Is there a way to prevent that?
i would just like to ask why is the case that when i use embedfonts = true on a textfield, the textfield's text only resizes according to the textfield's height but not the textfield's width. meaning if i make the textfield's height bigger, the text also gets bigger in terms of height, but not width, can't the embedded font maintain aspect ratio according to the textfield height?
I'm only wondering about this because this is not the case when embedfonts= false
I need a code in AS2 that launches a bullet ("bullet") from the character ("hero") towards wherever you clicked the mouse.For example, if I click somewhere, I want the bullet to launch straight towards where I clicked.
It is really nice to see the new text direction for TLF but i have one problem with it.We are trying to localize our flash application using strings. so far we follow the traditional way of translating each string and assign it with ID. Our 2 main languages are English and Hebrew. The problem is that for english we need to use LTR direction while in hebrew it is RTL.in a big flash application were the number of tlftextfields are big it is impossible for us to change the direction for individual tlftextfieldsin .
I need a push in the right direction. I have been programming ActionScript 3 for about a year and am just starting to separate my code out of the Flash using classes and things like that.
Anyways here is the problem. [URL].. Go here and upload an image and notice how when you drag the image a black box still appears to visually show the image is under the Obama logo image. I am trying to figure out how this was accomplished.
First: Is a mask being used to only show the image in that particular area? Or is this an transparent gif above the uploaded image? If a mask is being used then how is the rectangle achieved and how is the drag and drop still working when the mask hides the image?
Second: How is this box effect being achieved? Those are the most important questions. I figured out how to make an image resize using a slider. However I am curious how this guy did the advanced image resizer.
If someone can point me in the right direction as to how this is accomplished that would be great. [URL]..
I posted a thread last week and I get a code that give me possibility to move circle in the stage and when it got to the end of the stage it turn around and change it's way. but the code was only for X direction but I want to use it in Y direction too, to move the circle diagonal. I put the code down here. me to add Y position guide me how to add.
ActionScript Code: var circles:Array = new Array(); var quantity:int = 2;
I've been experimenting with path finding, in particular the A* algorithm. I've understand the basics for it and can currently get an object to move from point A to B avoiding walls. However I'm trying to create one way blocks, (then eventually add turn left and right only and T juncs etc) so I don't have to use thick walls to prevent the object from taking a certain route. The code I have so far is....
Press the picture to get it larger. That's what i really need for my project. I can't get it to work.please explain it for me to, im learning flash so I can need that to understand sometimes
Attached is basically a recreation of the problem. What I'm basically trying to do is a tooltip window with 4 frames. Each frame has different textfields but also some the same. Like the "Weapon" frame has textfields called namebox, typebox, levelbox, and damagebox, while the "Armor" frame has namebox, typebox, levelbox, and defensebox.
In the attachment there is a Movieclip called awd on the stage. It has 2 keyframes in it called "Weapon" and "Drop" each with their own textfields but they are both called "box". I have a click event listener that makes awd go to its second frame and outputs the second child in awd, which will be the textfield. The problem is when I click the first time, awd goes to the second frame but it outputs null instead of Object TextField. When I click again it outputs Object TextField. If I trace the number of children it gives me 2. So I don't know how it can be null.
I've got a flash document using AS3. It dynamically reads data from an XML file, and creates a bunch of single line textFields. Could be like this:
<XMLdata> <Line>this is line 1</Line> <Line>this is line 2</Line> <Line>this is line 3</Line> </XMLdata>
So, for each node, it would create a new TextField, and change the textField.y value so that they are "stacked" on top of each other. All this if fine, except that if you hae so many "lines" (or textfields) that the "stack" is taller than the Flash Document size. What I would like to do is have a scroll bar or something so you can scroll the stack of TextFields. Doesnt' even need to be a scroll bar. Maybe an arrow button at the bottom, and when you click on it, it scrolls down. One for up too.
I have a numerical stepper,and a user can click on a textfield, then click the up and down arrows on the stepper to change the font size,i then try and set the focus back to the textfield and put the caret at the end of the textfield, but the stepper keeps focus anyway.Here is the event handler for when the stepper value is changed.Get the textfield's current format, change the size, set the new format, then focus on the textfield and set the caret position, but the caret just stays inside the stepper.
Code: private function handleChangeTextSize(e:Event):void { var tField:TextField = Main.LAST_FOCUSED_OBJECT;[code]....
I've had problems with other components too with the exact same focus issue and the only solution i've ever come up with is to set a timeout for like 100 milliseconds to set the focus back then and it works. another way to do this without the "hack"?
What I have is a dynamicly created row of movieClips. In which TextFields are added with text that's received from an Array. What I would like to be able to do is click on the movieClip that's visible and have the code understand I clicked array[3] for example and it will show the 4th array item in another textfield.
I have had the following problem for a while and i cant find any solution on google.I have the following and what i want to do is only allow the object current_switch_selector to be dragged in a horizontal direction but when i use the following for example it doesnt work
var bounds_rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 17, 10); trace(bounds_rect); current_switch_selector.startDrag(bounds_rect);
I'm making a game that is birds eye view like the old grand theft autos. anyway im currently stuck at this... I can have my character fire and have the bullet follow my mouse but I cant seem to figure out how to just make the bullet go straight off the screen in the direction my character is facing.
Recently an associate of mine and I built this site www.grievewinery.com. It seems to be working fine for everyone EXCEPT the owner himself. I am at a total loss. I have checked it on 4 MACS and 7 PC's of all different browsers and variations. I have asked them to try all variations on the URL, such as leaving off the http, the www - any and all ways possible. Nothing. For the life of me I cannot surmise why the owner himself would not be able to view the site unless he had a typo or needed a FLASH update, of which he would be prompted as such, correct?
