ActionScript 3.0 :: SelectionBeginIndex Not Taking Into Account Linebreaks?

Aug 4, 2009

I've got a TextArea with some text in it. Sometimes there are linebreaks.

I'm using SelectionBeginIndex and SelectionEndIndex, along with substring() to get the current selection.

The only problem I'm running into is that if that selection includes any line breaks, it doesn't understand.

For example, if the text was:

Code:
This is my first line of text.

ABCDEF
Let's say I selected from the first letter all the way to, and including, B.

The output of the substring() with the begin and end selection, because of the linebreaks, would be:

Code:
This is my first line of text.ABCD

Here's the AS Code I used to illustrate the problem.

ActionScript Code:
checkButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkSelection);
myText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
myText.textField.alwaysShowSelection = true;

[Code].....

How can I capture those linebreaks? htmltext isn't an option, because there's no selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex for htmltext...

PHP :: Flash - How To Capture Textarea With Linebreaks

May 14, 2011

I'm trying to experiment with taking text from a textarea in a flex project and open it up in a php page. But the php isn't line breaking where it should be. An Example of the text i'd like to bring over to php would be:

You: Hi there
Them: Hello
You: This is a great example
Them: I know right?

Here's my php:
<?php
$text= $_GET['text'];
echo $text;
?>

Right now I came up with something like this in the actionscript...
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("savelog.php?text="+chatBox), '_blank');

I also tried something like:
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.valueOf().replace("
","<br/>");
and
var chatBox:String=chat_box.text.toString().valueOf().replace("
","<br/>");

But apparently the isn't translating over no matter how I get the chatBox var so its not even making a <br/>. But, even if i did get that to work it wouldnt be ideal. Because eventually in the end I want to be able to just incorporate the pastebin API to paste this GET data and post it on there. And I don't think it would look too pretty with having <br/> after every line...Is it possible to bring this text over to php and recognize the line breaks in a way that would work well with what im eventually trying to accomplish?

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField Can Contain Different Kinds Of Linebreaks?

Nov 20, 2011

Can a TextField can contain different kinds of linebreaks?

I save and load text from an input field into an XML. I save it as CDATA tags including linebreaks.

This is what happens:

I type a text with linebreaks into the textfield I save the text to the XML I empty the textfield I load the xml into the textfield - everything looks as expected, linebreaks are present I save the exact same textfield again (the only difference this time the content was loaded and not handtyped)This time the XML does not contain any linebreaks when I load it again, the text doesn't have linebreaks

How can this be?

//here is an example that demonstrates the issue:

var xml1 = <xml>
<elm/>
</xml>;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Read XML Huge Linebreaks?

Apr 14, 2009

Well I was loading a xml file (using CDATA) into my flash app. I'm still using AS2 and everyting works perfectly with linebreaks and everything. The only thing I can't understand is why a linebreak is so huge? When I load the XML-file into PHP to edit, it looks good. But when I save it and load it again into flash one linebreak is like two linebreaks.

Flex :: Flash - Converting IDs To Account Name

Nov 23, 2010

I am using Adobe Air to get data from SalesForce, and present it in a datagrid. I am using a query to get the data, and then put it into an arraycollection that is bound to the datagrid, this works correctly and the data is displayed. The problem is that I want to convert the Account Id in the Event to show the account Name. To do this I am using the following code:-

_serviceWrapper.query( "Select * From Event order by StartDateTime asc", new mx.rpc.Responder( eventQueryHandler, faultHandler ))}
protected function eventQueryHandler(qr:ArrayCollection):void {
var acctIdss:String = "";
for each(var contact:DynamicEntity in qr) {
[Code] .....

This works and displays the Account Name, the problem is that when I use this script and then Sync Changes to SalesForce all the records that have been displayed are identified as needing to be syncronised even if they have only been displayed. If I skip the function eventQueryHandler, and link my query to the OnQueryResult function then there is no problem, but only the Account Id can be displayed. How can I stop Air marking these records as having changed, or is there a better way to achieve this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Preloader Doesn't Seem To Take This Audio Into Account

Jun 3, 2011

I am having a pretty irritating problem with the audio I am using for a Flash game which I am making using Flash 8 and Actionscript 2.0. The game itself is near complete and is already hosted online, it is a simple 2d shooter game where enemies go from one side of the screen to the other and you shoot them. I have built a preloader which works well however I have just added audio to the game, and I am finding that the preloader doesn't seem to take this audio into account. The game itself loads up and is ready to play, however it could be another 30 seconds or so before the audio will kick in.

I have a main song loop which plays in the background (triggered once the start game button is pressed). A bullet shot sound when the mouse is clicked (triggered through code), and various sound effects that are played on the timelines of the enemy movie clips characters. Part of my problem is that im implementing the audio in so many different ways and I am confused by the complexities of using audio in Flash. Should I build a separate preloader for the audio? Or am I simply doing something wrong in Flash itself when it comes to including the audio?

I have it set up so that if you hold down on either button, you continuously scroll until you reach the end or beginning of the animation. Then, along the timeline, I have spots chosen for the scroll to stop if you are not holding down on one of the buttons.

What I want to happen now, is for the animation to easeIn to the stop points on the time line if you are not holding down on the scroll buttons, but play smoothly if you are holding them down. Does anyone know I way to do this?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Taking And Managing A Screenshot?

Mar 4, 2009

The searches that I did on this topic aren't providing me with any answers...that I can understand anyway. =*) Here's the situation.In the past, I did computer-based-training using "a different authoring tool." One thing I discovered I could do with that tool--which really opened up new possibilities for me--was to use that scripting language to create a snapshot of the current window and save that image as an object/class. Then I could access that object, resize it, save it to disk, and load it in later. The result--for my training at least--was a visual bookmark of their location in the training should they have to save and come back later.I would now like to do this with Flash.specificially CS4 and AS3.If anyone can point me in the right location to get started,For clarity, the steps are:

1: Take a snapshot of the current Flash window / Stage. I'm not concerned if the snapshot remains "in Flash" or goes to the Clipboard as long as I can get to it in the next step.

2: Access that snapshot from where-ever it's stored.

3: Process the snapshot and reduce it to a thumbnail, etc.

4: Save it to a file that I can bring back into the .swf at a later point. I'm not real concerned about the format of the file as long as I can bring it back in later. How do I save it? I would love to be able to save it to the user's machine but last I checked
Flash won't do that sort of thing. Can I save it as a file on the server that the .swf is running from using perhaps a PHP call /script / page?

5: And, of course, recall the image to be used at a later point. I already have a pretty good handle on this from past experiments.

Flash - Taking A Snapshot Of A Loader?

Apr 4, 2011

I'm attempting to take an image from a networked camera and store it as a bitmap. I discovered that flash didn't support MJPEG so I found a class someone had written that could talk to the camera and output on the screen. Then I edited it so that I could request the current image at any time and store it in a ByteArray.I've managed to load that ByteArray with a loader class and place it on the stage, but I'm not sure how to save that as a Bitmap?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Projects Outside Of It Taking Up Most Of Time?

Jun 17, 2010

I haven't played around in flash for awhile due to other projects outside of it taking up most of my time, but I'm trying to create a simple 4 digit count-up display that uses a sprite-like movieclip instead of a dynamic text field.

The movieclip has 0-9 layed out vertically and each interval basically shifts the movieclip instance up by 20 pixels. There are 4 instances of the movieclip on stage side by side.

I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to do this other than how I did. I honestly can't wrap my brain around this anymore without going insane, and just wanted to get some other opinions.
