I tried to make a status box. But the problem is text is not showing on status box. Here is my code.
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
[SWF (backgroundColor = "0xFFFFFF", frameRate = "30", width = "550", height = "400" )]

I have a setup a PageHolder class (based on MovieCLip) that displays a doted area with a (page) number in the middle.
Now attempting to populate my LayoutPane, I create new instances of of PageHolder whose constructor is tasked to set the text value of its only Texfield to the value specified in the new PageHolder parameter.
The problem here is that only the character present in the Library Object will display at run time.
For example, I have setup my PageHolder object with a text field containing the number "0". Now at run time, every instance of PageHolder is blank except fro the one that I passed a "0" as part of the init parameter (10,20,30,...) and on those pages, only the "0" is showing. If I change the original object to display a "1" instead, then every "1" of the page number that contains a "1" show ups.
Can somebody shed some light on this?

{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I am loading in xml data into a document class, the text field is not displaying it, the data traces out fine so there is no problem with the xml, also I have just tried putting a standard string as it's value and it still isn't showing.

I have an odd predicament that I'm trying to wrap my head around. I have a textField, that is populated by data from an xml file. It contains simple line html line break tags, and when I use the htmlText option, it doesn't seem to recognize those tags, even though they don't show up when I view it online. Here is my code:
Code:
//FLASHVARS CODE
var varName:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (varName in paramObj) {

I can't figure out how to make it render properly. If I choose a dynamic text field already on the stage it works fine, but then the scrollbar doesn't work. I read that a TextField automatically uses a scrollbar when it gets too long. Can anyone suggest a possible work around for this? I feel the answer is staring me in the face and I just can't see it.

I have an empty movie clip(say A) on a layer and then I have masked it with a display object(say a rectangle). Now I have an movie clip(say B) containing a input text field and I am adding this movie clip(B) dynamically in movie Clip(A).
When I compile it, the input text field is taking input for sure, cz I have applied some traces on change event of that field. But the characters inside the field are not showing up.
I have a project where I need to show a TextField with a monetary ammount
var tf:TextField = new TextField()
tf.htmlText = "<font size="30">1</font>99";
This will show the 99 cents as subscript. How do I show this as superscript?
It's important that I display this in the same textfield so I don't have to worry about 2,3, or 4 digit dollar values or values with no cents. The alignment will be a lot of work. I googled the GG Superscript fonts but because this is dealing with localization, I need to use device fonts rather thatn embedded. Also size is priority so embedding fonts is something that is not really an option.
I tried to search but 99% of the posts I saw were referring to manually created dynamic text boxes instead of.. algorythmically generated text for lack of better phrasing.
I'm trying to make an AS3 .swf that would display a small array of letters that have been created with TextField's, and not with dynamic text's being dragged onto the stage since there's going to be more than 100 of them. I've tried setting the textfield's .embedded to true, changing the fonts, making sure the text and backgrounds are different colors.. nothing.
In my .fla I have nothing for the document class under properties. In frame 1 there is one keyframe with three lines of code below and I've tried it with stop() and without. The class file is in the same folder and is MyArray.as This should be really easy but it's driving me insane.
MyArray.fla :
Code:
//stop();
import MyArray;
var test:MyArray = new MyArray();

If the user navigates away from the screen its on, and come back, the text field cant take input anymore. Flash says the field is there. That its a input field. The pointer changes alrigt, but i cant type into it? and the bug fixing text i put into it disappears. When navigating to another page i kill the movieclip its in with:
ActionScript Code:
removeMovieClip(var_holding_clip);
I am getting troble of receiving displayObject. Here, I have three class : Control.as,Middle.as and OutPut.as here Control.as call Middle.as to put string Middle.as call OutPut.as to show string textField Out.as is extends of Sprite and shows TextField with value.

I have this HBox inside a TitleWindow. I'm not sure why the text are blurred.
The title & copyright text of my animation don't show up in the swf unless I break up the words to letters then to shapes. (This also occurs for the feedback of one of my games.) It's a 2.5 minute animation which puts my computer to the limits so that may be the problem. Obviously I'd rather not convert this text to shapes for size & flexibility reasons.
View 7 RepliesI just made these quick flash banners for a client but he's saying that the text isn't showing up for him.I have the banners hosted here - http:[url]...........And any idea why it wouldn't be showing up for him? I'm assuming he's running on an outdated version of Flash but I know if that's the case he's going to worry about other people being on the same outdated version he's on and they won't be able to see the text.
View 2 RepliesI have one api to call and it is an XML file. I got the values from XML and stored in an Array. I need to show the result in a text box that is already created in the stage. But it is not displaying there. I am calling the API from my document class. From there, I created a class for load XML and store the values to an array. from there, I call anoter class to show the result in the stage. that class is linked with the movieclip created. I can trace all the vlues including the value assigned to the text box. but it is not showing to the stage.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying to get a Flash-based form working - and it's 90% there. I even figured out a refresh issue with a list, and that worked perfectly. Fast foward to the final frame. I'm ready to collect all the data from the form and send it when the user clicks "Done". At current, this frame has no real defined code. The only thing on it is the standard "stop();" to prevent the movieclip from going back to the first frame.The only thing that will be displayed on the final frame is a picture and some text. This is...where everything falls apart. I created the text field, named it properly, then wrote "myField.text = "blahblah";" in the main frame. I then ran a movie test. Everything works great ... until the last frame. No text. Tried to embed.. that didn't help.. tried using the textfield variable... nothing there either. For some inexplicable reason, the final frame in my movie refuses to display anything at all except what's on the stage.

View 1 RepliesI can't figure out why my font (type) hasn't been showing up in my Test Movie. I tried it first along with my first scene, and it didn't work. I put the type in a second scene (now 74, don't ask) within the same file, and it still doesn't show up. I'm using a mask to make the type appear and I know from tutorials, I have it going in the correct position to reveal the type. It's clearly not showing up. Even in Test Scene, it's not showing up. I've exhausted all my experience (which isn't saying much) to try

View 3 Repliesa few months ago we bought a flash ready template that I customized with our information. I decided to update the website information and wrote new text. Now when I do the publish preview the upated text is not showing up. I have not change the font, color just the size because in the original it looked too small. when looking at the properties is shown as the default of font (the one the template came with) static text.
What is causing the updated text not to show up? I am not really experienced with flash, i am trying to figure out also how to see the code of the pages but i don't know how to do that.
1.I am getting the content from XML and showing to the text box. If the content is more than the text field size then its hide the content. Please tell me how I adjust the height of the text box according to the XML content.
2.I have some XML content with HTML links and loading this to another text box. I need to highlight the corresponding content(link) when mouse over.

Dynamic Text in Flash ActionScript 2.0 not showing when published
When published all else shows up except the dynamic text. The properties have been set on "Bitmap Text (no anti-alias)" and fonts not seemingly embedded..
I'm working on making a news scrollpane thingamagig. I have a movieclip called "entry" with textfileds (basically it's just a header bar and a bottom border bar with two textfields). These are dynamically attached based on the number of xml nodes into a holder clip and I have that holder clip masked and for some reason the entry movieclips will show, but the actual text doesn't. when I get rid of the mask then the text shows.
