ActionScript 3.0 :: Space Around Text In TextField?
Jan 13, 2009
I made a simpel textFiled with some text and a border. Does anyone knows how to get rid of the extra space betweenthe text and the border of the textField? I'm goning crazy withthis.I made the width of the textFiled the width of the text andthe height of the textField the height of the text. But because ofthe extra space the text will not show as I wanted to be.
Is there a way to control the vertical space between two HTML paragraphs, in an AS3 TextField?
I understand and have successfully applied CSS styles via AS3 and have also utilized the TextFormat class.
I am still unable to control the vertical space between a closing and an opening <p> tag: txt.htmlText = "<p>First paragraph here.</p><p>Second paragraph here.</p>"; The example above renders with the correct font and letter-spacing, but the space between paragraphs is either two-times too tall if txt.condenseWhite = false or it is too condensed if txt.condenseWhite = true.
Since only margin-left and margin-right are available CSS attributes in AS3, and not margin-top or margin-bottom, I am at a loss.
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:
create a random name selector for the classroom. It works great but it doesn't like a space between two words. So I can't copy and paste a list with name and surname. It comes out with nonsense characters in the space.frame 1
stop(); var name = new Array(); var colour = new Array();
i have a problem with the line space flash creates when a dynamic text is loaded in a dynamic text field on the stage i put a dynamic textFild with istance name "profile_text". then im loadin in it a text. my text is written in the Notepad like this
[Code]...
i already set a Textformat to my dynamic text with i tryied to play with the "Leading".. but i think it something dealing with paragraph. how i can decrease spacing between paragraphs??
I am dynamically loading text into a text area. I want the text area to have set dimensions, but the text itself to resize in order to fill up the whole text area container.For example a short line of text would be made a bigger size than a large line of text but each would perfectly (or near perfectly ) fill up the same X by Y sized text area.I have seen a lot of posts about resizing the text area to comply with text, but I want to do the opposite - resize text to comply with text area.
i am a newbie flash designer. a client has asked me to make modifications in a flash file used on his website. it is flash 8 actionscriptfile which i decompiled using sothink decompiler 4.5 build 90120 to '~divisions original.fla'. the xml folder resides in the same folder as ~divisions original.fla. it contains divisions.xml.i discovered a problem - if you view 'divisions.swf' - when you click on 'retail visual solutions'and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is no space after the text. the end of the text aligns with the end of the scrollbar. but when you click on eyesite, and scroll to the bottom, you can see that there is space after the text. the end of the text does not align with the end of the scrollbar.
my additional questions are:has the creator of the swf file used some unique scrollbar code or is this scrollbar provided in flash itself. in this case, i can read a tutorial to understand it better.i have given 'is correct - no space at bottom of text.jpg' and 'is incorrect - space at bottom of text.jpg' to further explain my query.
I have a problem with multiple listeners. Basically I have a box which displays some text and when I hit the space key additional text from the box appears. But the problem is the space key also starts the game.
I want the space key to first display the additional text then hitting the space key starts the game.
So, any ideas how I can use the space key twice without disrupting the first key press?
I have some unwanted extra space at the bottom of my scrolling text box. I have been trying for hours to remove it but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.[URL]
I have a few textfields that require characters to exactly fit (left and right). The characters are loaded dynamically and always fit whatever number of characters there's room for in the textfield. I'd like to justify the text so that the last letter in a textfield is placed right by the right border. However, it doesn't seem to work. My guess is that it's due to the lack of spaces between characters (there are no spaces whatsoever in the strings I'm importing). For this project, I will be using around 12000 textfields, so there's no way I'm going to place every character in a single textfield and position them one by one, as it would take up too much processing.
If I create a mx:Label or mx:Text control in Flex and then set an opaqueBackground to it, I notice that there is some space around the text.
I would like to be able to get rid of that space to where the text is completely flush to the top and bottom of the label. Changing the gap, padding, and leading didn't seem to help. Is it possible to get the text completely flush to the sides of a label?
I am trying to load a html text from a XML with flash cs4 but It loads with huge whitespace before and after the text. In an older, different version of the site made in AS2 it loads the same xml with no whitespace.I've tried setting xml.ignoreWhiteSpace = true but it doesn't seem to change anything.
flash code: Code: Select allvar XMLRequest:URLRequest; var XMLLoader:URLLoader; var xml:XML;
I am encountering this problem where I need a user to enter data in a text field but I can't invalidate their input if they just enter spaces. What I mean is that right now I can alert the user to enter the data in the text field (required field in form type of situation) if they don't enter any characters but the glitch of my system is that it goes through if they just enter spaces with the space bar. QUESTION: Can I find out that the characters in my text field entered by the user are not SPACES??
I'm using loadVars to import text from a text file and then put it into a dynamic text field - rendered in HTML. There is an extra space in the first line of text for some reason. I've checked the dynamic text field and theres no spaces or returns in it - its empty before putting the text into it.

In actionscript, is there any way to format the input text so that a dash or space is inserted after a set number of characters? So instead of xxxxxxxxxx you get xxx-xxx-xxxx
I am printing a dynamic text from flash. Every thing works fine, But I get unwanted spaces/ small boxes at the end of every page. Using string functions I tried to remove the last character if it is a space.Even though I am getting this problem.
Has anyone else ever had or heard of this situation? Its only happening around the edges of link tags,Code:Hello <a href="">world</a> my name is george.renders asHelloworldmy name is george.The link still works fine, Ive tried putting the spaces outside the link tags but it still happens.Im having to put double spaces in to get only one of them appearing its so wierd.I dont remember this happening when I was working in AS2 but cant isolate the problem at all.
