Is there a way of changing the styles of parts of a text using stylesheets, but without giving each part its own class? (Like you can do with setTextFormat by supplying the start and end character indexes). Or is there just another way of achieving the same result without using setTextFormat because you can't use it on a textfield that has a stylesheet applied to it?

i've a text with a very long list of words to highlight and calling setTextFormat() one for each word takes ages.

I set a textformat and apply it with setTextFormat, this is fine when my movie runs however when I try and change the text (with a mouse over of a button) this formatting disappears and have to set it again after I have changed the value of the text box. Why does it resort back to the original formatting? Is there not a way to set a textfield and keep it set?
function setText(evt:MouseEvent) {
clientText.text = "hello2";
clientText.setTextFormat(myFormat);
}
I created a text editor in AS3 to administer a site online, but i have a problem when i select a word, put it in bold, save the text and load it, all the text after this word becomes bold too. (to put a word in bold i select that world and use a button that turn this word in bold)Here is my code

var formatGlobal12:TextFormat = new TextFormat ("_serif", 12);

This is a very common issue but is still pissing me off.I've this code:

I am trying to get setTextFormat working, but I can't seem to get it to work. The textfield appears and has the text I want, however, the font is just not changing.Here is my code:

i'm unsuccessfully attempting to assign a textFormat to two different parts of the same string, but the second time it doesn't register and remains the default text format. both styles (regular and bold) of the font are embedded.

I've written some code that uses setTextFormat to apply formatting to textFields. I need to change it now so if a textfield has a particular title it adds to the formatting (capitalizing it). There's several workarounds I could use but ideally I would like to either create an override for the setTextFormat or textFormat classes that checks the name of the textfield and if it's a particular name before applying all the other specified formatting capitalises it. I know how to override a setter such as (width or height) but can't find any info on overriding a specific property.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to maintain the style format I've applied to my dynamic textfield when using css?What I'm trying to accomplish: I'm trying to get the url links in my cdata from my xml file ( <a href="">link</a> ) to underline, and if even more so possible, to bold or change font color for that link. And I'd like to avoid just using the <u> tag in the cdata instead.I know you can just use a stylesheet to accomplish that, but I've already set up my script to use the setTextFormat method and when I try to combine the two, it seems that I lose my embedded font.Heres what I have now for my textfield, which is also successfully pulling the style from a xml file.[code]
View 0 RepliesI create 30 text fields dynamically on the stage and want to set text format for all text fields. I use 'setTextFormat'. It works fine for single text box. But not working if I give this in loop. See the code below. It creates thirty input text boxes on the stage. But it assigns text format only to the last text box. When code Copied and placed in frame 1. The stage size should be 800 x 600. Execute the program and type in the last text field. I want that to happen for all text boxes.
ActionScript Code:
var xtpos:Number = 10;
var ytpos:Number = 10;
var i,j:Number=0;
var depth:Number = 100
var k:Number=0;

In the above it traces only the last text field.
Sometimes one works while the other doesn't, and vice versa.
View 2 Replieswhen I parse my input-textfield and setTextFormat, everything works fine, but when I write something between the newly formatted part of the the, suddenly the formatting spreads over the whole texfield.
Is there any way (besides .htmlText="") to get rid of text formatting-tags. (maybe something simpler than a html-parser or so?)
We have a library with a bunch of TextFields inside MovieClips. During runtime, we make an instance of one of these, run getTextFormat on it to get the formatting, then create a bunch of TextFields in code and run setTextFormat on them to give them the same formatting.
I'm trying to do the same thing but with TLFTextFields. I have the following:
var text:TLFTextField = new classFromLib();
text.selectable = true; //required for getTextFormat to work, flash bug
textFormat = text.getTextFormat();
[Code]....
If I set textFormat.leading and textFormat.letterSpacing to null before I run setTextFormat, then everything works, but obviously the text fields don't get the leading and letter spacing that the one in the library had.
I'm trying to set only a portion of a string to use a particular text format and it does not seem to be working. I'm calling setTextFormat() after setting the text of the TextField like this:
myTextField.setTextFormat(newFormat, 7);
change the format for the remaining characters after the 6th. The textfield seems to use the default text format for the entire text however.
I have some dynamic text boxes loading text from an array. I initially have the text box aligned "right" but when you put dynamic text it "left" aligns them. Anyway, here is my code:
Code:
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = "right";

is there a way i can change the standard setTextFormat() ; function? I found out that after you change the text, the format sets back to default. I want to add a "on text change, settextformat again" bit but im completely lost on how to do this? something to do with prototypes doesnt it?

I am working on a large project that displays a fair amount of text.how to best handle the formatting of the text globally? what is the best way to handle the text formatting on a global level ? Through the TextFormat class, through style sheets, a combination of these two depending on the specific situation ?
Is it a best practice for large projects to use style sheets for all of the texts ? Implying that all texts must be written with tags.Using only style sheets seems like the best approach at this time to me but before going into coding this approach on a large scale in my project,

I don't know how to test this and I think I'm over thinking it, but here is the situation:Let's say I have a styleSheet that is assigned as a public static var of a Class.Then, in various other Classes, I'm dynamically creating TextFields and assigning their styleSheet property to the static styleSheet varI eventually remove those said TextFields from the DisplayObject they're on and delete all references. Even though they've been removed/cleared, are they retained in memory because they still contain reference to the static var styleSheet? i.e. should I be setting textField.styleSheet=null; before removing?

I have a TextField which styleSheet i want to change at runtime.For testing I created a new .FLA put a Textfield on stage, set it to dynamic, named it mytxt and added some AS3:[code]Well nothing changed I still have a default black text when I publish the swf.My goals:
- Set a TextField in Flash IDE
- set the font, weight, color, size etc.
- apply a styleSheet containing colors for links
I was wondering if this can be done? I want to format my content that's in an XML file, being loaded to a dynamic text box using AS3? I've been trying to do this and find any information on the this task. When I put everything together the XML file shows up in the dynamic text box without any styles being applied to it. (As if its ignoring it.)

var cssRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("content.css");

I have some text fields which have to be displayed with a style I have previously loaded from a CSS document. There are two choices to choose from, but both have some hitch I cannot resolve by myself:
- If I decide to embed a font and use it along with the other CSS properties, I don't know how to associate this font to the text field, because if I do this: myTextField.embedFonts = true, no text is displayed.
- If I decide not to embed fonts, so that I use the CSS font-family property, I've checked that the text is not displayed the same way in different monitors: while in my PC it is displayed smooth and sharp, in another appears kind of jagged. Moreover the animations of non-embedded fonts are not the best option (the text must have an animation which includes a mix of fading and scale).
i have problem in my flash styleSheet. i add this script,
import TextField.StyleSheet;
var myStylesheet:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();

but its not display(output).
