I'm importing text from a .xml file, in that file my text is formatted with HTML and an imported StyleSheet. The problem is...

The indentation shown here by the red rectangle. I tried to remove it while using text-indent:0; in my css. didn't work..
Does anyone have any idea how to indent text on every line? I am alligning my text to the border of my movieclip wich has a diagonal border. So when i add my text it should indent for example: 2px on line 2, 4px on line 3, 6 on line 4, 8 on line 5, etc. Would there be an easy way to do this?

I load a simple XML text into a dynamic TextField (Flash CS4):
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xml>
<b>TITLE</b>

Maybe I could use myTxt.condenseWhite = true; but dont know how to aply line breaks there.
This is the data, and you can see that it has an indent on its first line.
Where I would like to see this:
This is the data, and you can see that it does not have an indent on its first line.
Some of the code,
// Define variables

I suspect that it has to do with prettyIndent and prettyPrinting, and I could not make it to work.
Are there any scripts to auto-indent an actionscript 3 file? I want to standard the check-in to source control, and this way, it'll be uniform (instead of mixing spaces and tabs).
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of text I am working with from XML and when I import it into my text field it becomes automatically indented on the first line. Is there a way to lose this indent? If I take off word wrapping it does make the indent go away, but then of course the text spans across further than the text field horizontally.
Here are some of the properties I have assigned to the text field I am using:
ActionScript Code:
myTextField.htmlText = txtPath; //txtPath is the loaded and parsed XML
myTextField.multiline = true;
myTextField.wordWrap = true;
I use PopUpButton object and inside a Menu object. For some reason it has default text indent (even when an icon is not defined). How can I remove this indent?

View 2 Repliesas you can see by the code I used the "Code snippets" in AS3 and used the "Click to display a text field" in the menu there.
Anyways, it does what I want, however on MOUSE_OUT I want it to no longer display the text there, to not have it visible more than just when the mouse is over the image (bild1) in this case.
This is the code, how should I do this? best easiest solution? would be loads appriciated!
...Or if there's any other easier way to just display a text somewhere on mouse_over and then to not having it visible anymore on mouse_out
"bild1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_ClickToPosition_5);
var fl_TF_5:TextField;
var fl_TextToDisplay_5:String = "BMW 335 E92"
function fl_ClickToPosition_5(event:MouseEvent):void

I have a time format like so: 00:00:00.00 (hours, minutes, seconds, millieseconds). This is stored into a string called adminTime.
But I need to make it so that the string takes what ever the time is and changes it to 00:00 (hours and minutes)
So basically a way of looping though the string and removing the seonds and milleseconds.
I've very new to using Flash with AC3. I've got a small project that reads infomation in from XML files and creates a very two simple menus. The first being the years 2009,2008,2007 etc. (yearMenu_mc). When I click one of these it reads another xml file and builds another menu below (subMenu_mc). This is all working. What I cannot get to work is when I click another year I need it to clear the previous menus text, it just seems to keep over writing and I end up with text that I cannot read anymore. The code I've posted and tried works in one respect it does in fact reset subMenu_mc and I get clear text, but it seems to get rid of the background colour I had set for subMenu_mc.
Code:
import scripts.*;
Variables
var myFont=new fontArial();
var margin:int=2;
var link:String;
var cWhite=0xFFFFFF;
var menuTop:int=-8; /* menu top margin */
var tb:TextField;

I have managed to get rid of unwanted line breaks and returns in the RSS text I am bringing in to populate my dynamic text fields. The Dynamic Text fields are set up not to render text as html, are multiline and have the fonts embedded. I keep seeing things like, <p style=""> at the beginning of the story or <THI.TO> in the middle of the story. Is there any way of deleting anything that appears as <anything> and replace with a space? Here is the code I am currently using to eliminate the line breaks. Also is there any way of turning hyphenation on?

I have an input text box for the user to input a name. This box is linked to the variable "name". However when I call up this variable later (by linking "name" to dynamic textboxes), the size color etc. of the font are carried over from the input text box. How would I go about removing this formatting info, so the variable is simply set to the letters typed in by the user?
View 1 RepliesI have a text field where the user can input their salary, the only problem I have is that if they put a comma in it will break the calculations, so I need to be able to take the amount they give and then rip out the comma and have it just be the full number so I can do the necessary calculations with it.
I have everything working fine otherwise, just need to fix this *hopefully* minor issue.

Someone has created a map where there are little colored buttons over building locationsThe buttons were made so that when you hover your cursor over them, they will bring up a little chat bubble (like the ones you see in comics) with the appropriate street address text. What I cannot figure out is how to, after removing the cursor from over a button, make the text bubble stay put so that those who see the map can highlight then copy and paste the street address from it.

I generated some duplicate text fields in actionscript via a for loop and just did the "addChild()" function to add each textbox to the screen. Now I would like to remove them, but how do I do this? Since the textfields all have the same name, I can't do a 'getChildByName()' function to remove them, and I also tried getChildIndex(), but I can't seem to get any of that working.

I am working on a simple textfield(or so i initially thought simple.) that consists of a scroll bar, some dynamically loaded text with a small amount of css styling the hyperlink. There are no initial errors the text loads, the style is applied successfully,scroll bar works BUT the text is no longer organised as all the breaks between the paragraph are gone and the text is squashed together in one block.
I've put my code below.the css is labeled code as there is no cSS tag on this forum

I have a textfield and a button component.The problem is when the textfield is focused and i click anywhere on the stage it remains focused and no focusout event occurs. I know that it's because component classes implement IFocusManager(Component) interface and the TextField class does not .I do not want to create a new instance of FocusManager class or implement the IFocusManager interface in a custom class. Is there any way to disable the focusmanager ? The deactivate method does not seem to work in as3!

import fl.managers.FocusManager
var fm:FocusManager=new FocusManager(this)
fm.deactivate()

I'm trying to put the text back into a text field on FOCUS_OUT one character at a time. On FOCUS_IN, I want to remove the text one character at a time.
Here's the basic code:
major.text = "ActionScript 3.0";
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, inFocus);
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, outFocus);
function inFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="";// want to clear the text one character at a time
} function outFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="ActionScript 3.0"; // want to put the text back in one character at a time
}
I attached a fla. that does this in ActionScript 2.0, but I'm trying to do this in ActionScript 3.0.

I have been scripting this flash profile card which pulls data from multiple XML files. The problem i am having is when it comes down to pulling this 1 set of information which is accessing the attributes of an array of specific XML nodes on display after the first item it inputs a comma before each item.
My code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
xmlData = new XML ();xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;xmlData.load ("../xml profiles/test.xml");
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----
function loadXML (loaded){if (loaded){ xmlNode = this.firstChild;

This is just a draft version of the layout i used to pull up fake data... to show the commas.Lastly i am wondering if it is possible to control the 3 text fields using 1 scroll bar or would i be better off learning how to create columns in 1 text field to display these lists.
I have an input text field that is named in the properties box as 'numberOfKids'. When the program is executed, and a delete or backspace is pressed the input textfield goes blank and any calculations that use 'numberOfKids' shows NaN.I have trapped the NaN and undefined so that a numeric 0 shows up instead of a blank.
First problem: The cursor is to the left of the zero, so the first number inputted by the user is 10x larger than what they want. 0 becomes 10. How do I get the cursor to move to the right of the 0?
Second Problem: When I manually move the cursor to the right of the 0 and input a number, say 4, it shows up as 04. How do I delete the leading numeric zero in the input textfield?
Here's the code I am using:
calculateChildWeight = function () { if (isNaN(numberOfKids)) { numberOfKids = 0; } if ((numberOfKids) == undefined) { numberOfKids = 0; } if (numberOfKids>=0 && numberOfKids<=137) { numberOfKids = numberOfKids; } else { numberOfKids = 0; } if (isNaN(adjustedChildWeight)) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } if ((adjustedChildWeight)=undefined) { adjustedChildWeight = 0; } adjustedChildWeight = Number(numberOfKids*(-100)); //numberOfKids.setSelection(numberOfKids.length, numberOfKids.length); //if (numberOfKids.length=2 && numberOfKids<10) { // remove the first character or leading zero// numberOfKids = numberOfKids;// }};
I'm trying to get tables to display using flash. Currently I have two scenes, with a table on each scene. I have buttons that switch back and forth between the scenes and each table loads fine when I run each scene individually. The problem is I have no idea how to REMOVE a table from the scene. Currently when I play the whole movie the first table that loaded stays loaded, and the second table just loads over the top of it.
Also, I get an error #1009 after I switch back and forth from one scene to the other. So first table loads fine, click button, second table loads fine, click button, error #1009. I tried commenting out the table load parts on each scene and just leaving the button code and it worked fine. Then I left the first table load sequence commented out, and it loaded the second fine, click, loaded first page fine, click, loaded second table fine again (over the top), click, error #1009.
