ActionScript 3.0 :: Rotating Embedded Text Using A Function?
Sep 23, 2010On the quiz/assessment I am building, I need to rotate embedded text a few degrees to line up with an image.
textFormat.rotation; ???
On the quiz/assessment I am building, I need to rotate embedded text a few degrees to line up with an image.
textFormat.rotation; ???
Looking at the attached file, why does bottomScrollV give me the wrong value when the text is dynamically embedded and correct when manually embedded?
Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoad);
loader.load( new URLRequest("info.xml") );

I have a dynamic textbox, left justified, characters embedded, set on whole pixel x and y, 266 wide and 310 high. I then made that into a movieclip with registration at the center. I then use code to flip it on the Y axis. The text is clear before the first flip when you test the movie. Flipped 180 on the Y axis so that it is backwards it is fuzzy. Flip it 180 again so it is back in its starting position it is still fuzzy. I have tried doing it without code, just flip by entering a value in the transform panel for the Y axis, it still goes fuzzy.
I need the text on the backside of my panel to be clear. go here to see the full panel in action [URL] click through to "work" on the menu. I am attaching a very simple FLA with a flipping textbox mc and a plain textbox on stage to show how the text should look
I am trying to rotate this text 90 degrees. I've read that you're supposed to embed the text....and I've tried that and the text just vanishes. I've also tried to set my own text format, but the problem persists.
Code:
var tf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
tf.font = "Verdana14B";
tf.size = 14;[code]...........
I am working on a Flash Project in which i have to rotate a text field.I am Rotating the text field using this function
**function rotateAroundCenter(ob:*, angleDegrees)
var m:Matrix = ob.transform.matrix;
m.tx -= point.x;
m.ty -= point.y;
m.rotate(angleDegrees*(Math.PI/180));
[Code]...
I Have also povided the dragging feature so that one can drag the text field. The problem is when i rotate the text field say 45 degrees and then i drag it to other position now if i rotate the text field again it is not rotating about its center or origin, it rotates about some other point that is calculated by the same method ---mc.x+ mc.width / 2,mc.y+ mc.height
I found this code online and he achieved a particular movement I want to use. Unfortunately, he's using numerical values instead of text. I followed all of his instructions, but I tried to replace the Vector with an array, and received an error. The error I have been receiving is "1199:type parameters with a non-parameterized type." That's because I added an array value instead of an vector, which this guy has done. What he has in his tutorial is correct with numerical values. Also he created a .as class called Item.as. Here is the AS code that is in the main timeline in a new layer called actions of my .fla file called rotate.fla:
//Save the center coordinates of the stage
var centerX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var centerY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
[code].....
Well i got code like this (t is dynamic text created in .fla file)
Code:
function onLoop(){
t.rotation+=3;
t.text=t.rotation.toString();
}
it rotates but the text is not changing...What the heck?
I embed image in html text field like [code]...
The problem is that text is being wrapped around an image. How can I get the text to be displayed under the inserted image?
So, I have some basic actionscript code. It's a legacy site, so I'm using AS2. The line of code simply does this:
myField.text = "some text"
So, I select the text field on the stage, then ensure the font is embedded. All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts don't show up when the code is executed. Instead, the textfield is blank! What happened?! Where did the text go?
I should mention that the .swf which I compile is loaded into another parent .swf during runtime. If that parent .swf does not contain embedded fonts, is that why it's broken?
It's what this image describes:For some reason, I cannot use bold tags to set the TLF text to bold, even though both the regular and bold fonts are embedded.so that the webpage that embeds this movie can call its function (otherwise the movie itself will be wrapped by TLF).his is not exactly a question since there is an obvious solution to this. Just set the htmlText as something like "<font face='Myriad Web Pro'><b>BOLD</b></font>" and you're done.hs issue is, why does it not render the bold text without the font tag in the first place, if I have already set the font of the TLF text in the PI?

I have a little problem here, that I keep banging my head on for a few units now. It's fairly simple:rotate a dynamic text. Think of somekind of a quirky menu structure, with a circle in the middle and leaf-like menu items around it. I would like to rotate those, then it will look like a nifty flower-menu. Anyway, I cannot get the rotation to work. I've wandered around on the forums and Google already, and all point to the same thing. Embed a font, attach it and then rotate it. Well, I embedded the font 'Arial' in my library, linked it and called it 'Embed'. Then I create a TextFormat in AS3, use the name 'Embed', link it to my TextField and set the property embedFonts to true. All this goes fine, until I use that property. In the beginning you can still see my menu (only when it's not rotated, otherwise it disappears) and it's text, if I set embedFonts to true the text disappears.What am I forgetting or doing wrong, and is there perhaps an easier option?

View 1 RepliesI have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?
View 8 RepliesI am trying to apply a transition to one of my forms. It seems like everything works fine except for the text disappears when I apply transitions like rotating.
I did a google search and saw that I have to embed fonts but I wasn't able to get it working.
I tried:
Code:
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = myEmbeddedFont.fontName;
myFormat.size = 12; // the same size as the embedded font

I have a question concerning the use of the matrix objecThe following code works well to rotate the sprite from its center if its x and y properties don't change.However, if I drag and drop the clip somewhere else after having rotated it, and then add a new rotation, it keeps rotating from the previous rotation point. Even if I add point =new oint(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2); in a function that is called at the end of the drag and drop, the rotation point remains the same.So,how to update the position of the matrix rotation point if the x and the y of the clip change on the scene after a rotation?
Code:
var myspr=new Sprite();myspr.x=100;myspr.y=100;addChild (myspr);var point:Point=new Point(myspr.x+myspr.width/2, myspr.y+myspr.height/2);rotateAroundCenter(myspr,45);

SO i have looked and looked and I am beginning to believe that this may just be impossible to do with Actionscript. Basically i have a backend php file that creates an XML file of randomly selected entries from a Db. That XML file is imported to the swf file, and currently i can rotate through the XML nodes with no problem. Where i am now having issues is trying to have each entry Fade in.........and then fade out. Doing this with tweening is not an option because the tween time period never matches up with the backend actionscript rotation time period.
I have read alot about how you need to embed fonts to make this possible. have done that to no avail. THis can not be that out there of an idea. Basically i have a list of advertiser names and am wanting to rotate through them........but want a little more style than just a hard cut between the entries.

I have a Flex 3.4 app that embeds a swf with mx:SwfLoader...
That swf has a public function named "playIt". I've tried dispatching events to gettingHere.content, casting gettingHere.content as a MovieClip and other stuff...
var swfApp:MovieClip = MovieClip(gettingHere.content);
if (swfApp.hasOwnProperty("playIt")) {
var helloWorld:Function = (swfApp["playIt"] as Function);
helloWorld();
}
How can I call an ActionScript function from a SWF file that is embedded in an HTML file using "swfobject.embedSWF" ?
View 4 Repliesim using this method [URL] transitions.htm to load movies and create transitions between them for my site.. I have read the technique thoroughly and im fairly sure the code and structure I have used is correct however the loadMovie function called from an embedded swf is not doing anything and I cant work out why.. on the main timeline there is a container movie that the swf files are loaded into, the intro sequence is loaded through an action on frame 1:
_root.currMovie = "introsection";
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
this works no worries.. but when the container is targeted from inside the introsection.swf movie nothing happens, this is the code used: _root.container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf") I have tried variations with this and nothing works.. the container movie has the correct instance name and the code works from the main timeline but not from within another swf.
I need to include a feature on an app I'm building that allows the user to upload an image and manipulate it in various ways including adding text. This is basically a way to design custom printed merchandise as is already found on many websites and will be overlayed on a background image of whatever is being customised e.g. T-Shirt.The basic requirements are: resize, crop and rotate image against background. Overlay and change position/colour/style of text against image. Preview the final design against the background.
I know that flash is possibly the best solution but I was really hoping to avoid it and use Jquery instead. While there is plenty out there for resizing and cropping images with javascript there doesn't seem to be anything that fits my needs.
I know there are ways to invoke javascript inside the html wrapper template for the flex application using ExternalInterface, but is it possible to reference an external html page?

View 1 RepliesI have a main flash movie that loads each link as seperate swf's inside an empty mc.. and inside THOSE swf's they load another swf for each section, like this..

Now my question is, can I use a dynamic text box with Verdana for my font in the "content" sections and have it come out looking sharp, or would I only be able to use a font if it's embedded??.. After a lot of trial and error I found the latter of the two to be right until I checked out 2advanced's site and noticed that they (I'm assuming) are doing they same thing as me as far as embedding their swf's so it looks POSSIBLE..
I have a dynamic text field on my stage with the instance name of "yesno". In the text box panel, (so not the code) I have it set to embed all the glyphs. In my code I have the following:

I'm using a text format to display text as 20 point Arial, and on the text field, I tell it to embed the font. This should work since every windows system has Arial. But the text doesn't show up...
Here's code (yes, variables are declared and all that, this is just the parts of the code):
quesStemFormat = new TextFormat();
quesDistFormat = new TextFormat();
quesStemFormat.font = "Arial";
quesStemFormat.bold = true;

I have a series of dynamic text fields that do not show text when published. The fonts for these text fields are embedded and I do not get any errors on publishing. The project worked perfectly in CS4, but now in CS5, I had to re-embed all of the fonts in the dynamic text fields, but they won't show. What could be the problem?
